It seems pretty cool. I have vbplaza installed so I often like to charge members points to enable features or to have songs etc. so it would be nice if the 2 were integrated.

Check your usergroup permissions. Also, you may need to edit the plugin code to add userrgoups (custom):

This line:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,1 ,2 , 5, 6, 7))

If you read carefully, you'd see that was right there in the my OP in green letters.

Customize green highlighted color variables to match the colors of your forum

If you don't know how to change hue colors by now, Google is a click away after all.

Ah yes, my apologies - didn't see that.

I just saw the fieldx instruction with it highlighted in the code, and thought "oh, I know that.." - and must have skipped the second instruction.. ;)

Hello,

I currently use a similar mod to this called YBMF - Playlist.com MP3 Player for Member Profile (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201791), and I was wondering what the differences were between them other than this one uses MixPod.com (http://mixpod.com) which surprisingly looks similar in structure to Playlist.com (http://playlist.com).

I love the fact in your example link your auto-shuffle actually works properly. What would be the icing on the cake would be the ability to float the playlist so you don't have to stay on the members profile page to listen to their music. Would that possible with this mod with some tweaking?

Thank you for reading,
-TT
Chadi
05-12-2009, 01:12 PM
I'll consider another mod that allows floating, maybe later this week.

Mixpod and Playlist.com are two different services off the bat. I've never used Playlist.com so not sure about their service though.
Theater
05-12-2009, 01:19 PM
I look forward to it if you can get this playlist player to float. :)

I think its obvious. Look at the profile fields you created, now match it up in the template.

Example:

bgcolor=$userinfo[fieldX]

One of the fields you created is:

MixPod Background Color

Now what is the field # for the one you created? Replace fieldX with that field number. Same for the rest.

I have a weird issue that surfaced recently.
UserA creates a playlist at mixpod, add the playlist numbers into the profile.
Any other members can go to UserA's profile page and see/listen to the playlist but not the UserA.

When UserA goes to profile page mixpod doesn't even show up. Mixpod is completely missing from the profile page. As if UserA didn't input the playlist number. I made sure UserA playlist is correct.

I logged in as UserA and I can't see it either. At the same time userA can see/listen to other member's playlist. As far as I know, no other member has this issue. My works fine.

I have updated to 06 May 2009 version, reverted template, redid the template change prior to posting but still no success.

Any suggestion please?

I am having this same problem. I created 5 fields numbered 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and then there are 6 fieldx statements to edit. I would really like to install this but it's giving me an error probably due to not having the correct numbering.

The first field need to be entered into the first two "fieldx" positions. Then continue with the other fields in order (5,5,6,7,8,9) or (field5, field5, field6, field7, field8, field9).

Hope that makes sense.

Trying to figure out how to set the player to "NOT" start automatically and also change the volume to start at 50%. Did the following but nothing changed:

Changed the following (highlighted) in "Memberinfo_block_mixpod" template:

<embed src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/mp3/mixpod.swf?myid=$userinfo[field6]" quality="high" wmode="window" bgcolor=$userinfo[field7] flashvars="mycolor=$userinfo[field8]&mycolor2=$userinfo[field9]&mycolor3=$userinfo[field10]&autoplay=true&rand=1&f=4&vol=100&pat=1&grad=true" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" border="0" style="visibility:visible;width:100%;height:300px;"></embed>

Changed to:

<embed src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/mp3/mixpod.swf?myid=$userinfo[field6]" quality="high" wmode="window" bgcolor=$userinfo[field7] flashvars="mycolor=$userinfo[field8]&mycolor2=$userinfo[field9]&mycolor3=$userinfo[field10]&autoplay=false&rand=1&f=4&vol=50&pat=1&grad=true" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" border="0" style="visibility:visible;width:100%;height:300px;"></embed>

Logged out, logged back in and player still starts automatically with full volume. Any ideas?

Thx,

I found out how to change the mixpod styles replace the old embed with this

<embed src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/mp3/fetish-mp3player.swf?myid=$userinfo[fieldx]" quality="high" wmode="transparent" flashvars="mycolor=000000&mycolor2=545454&mycolor3=ffffff&autoplay=true&rand=0&f=4&vol=100&pat=0&grad=true" width="219" height="35" name="myflashfetish" salign="TL" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" border="0" style="visibility:visible;width:219px;height:200px;" /><br></embed>

field x is your mixpod playlist field if you want to change it to other players what you do is the following.

1) log in to mixpod and change your player
2) save and get code
3) search in the code for .swf (this is the flash file) replace link in the top bar for example you would replace the one in the red
4) edit the blue fields to fit your profiles pages as needed blue is width and height

Is this a problem with permissions or the code? I really need to correct this...thanks! :)

Easy installation due to your detailed notes. Thanks a lot. I found just 1 problem..not with your work. I saved my list on the mixpod site and in settings I chose "auto play" "NO" but it still auto plays on my forum. Any ideas?

Sorry about that. Found it. Fixed.

Hope that makes sense.

This is what helped me and was not clear in instructions. Thank you so much.

I'd like to add that there is no reason to add the other color choice fields. The color styling is done on the mixpod's page.
