User Playlists (Flashwidgetz.com)

This modification provides your users with the opportunity to create and share a playlist of their favourite music, from an external source via flashwidgetz.com.

View screenshots to give an example of this, it's running on my forums. [Demo (http://www.gamingvoice.co.uk/forums/general-discussion/4-how-integrate-playlist-your-profile.html)]

Fed up of listing your favourite artists, bands or tracks via your profile on a social network or forum community, only for others to have no idea what you're talking about? So was I! Give your users the tools they need to share their music taste with others in an interactive way, so that the music is actually available to listen to!

Better still, it's done via a forum pop-up (similar to the smilies list) - no more accidentally navigating away from the page mid-song! Clever, yes?

However, it does take a bit of setting up with a custom profile field and manual template edits. I make no apologies for this, I may make an "automated" version in the future - donations would help to motivate me do so.. ;)

Installed!

I would like to put the link to the playlist in it's own profile block.

Any suggestions please?

I have one template problem. I run vb3.7x I do not have the below line of code on my: memberinfo_profilefield template

<if condition="$show['profilefield_edit']">

What can I do to hide my ID?

Next question: In the postbit_legacy template how can I add text next to the icon. The icon is so small its lost.

I would like to have it say the same as in the About Me tab:

Listen to [username's] Playlist ICON HERE (http://www.globalschoolconnect.com/member.php?u=1#)

Thanks!

I created a block on the profile page to hold the link to the playlist. I would like to know how to hide the block if the member hasn't created a playlist yet. I used this article to create my block:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=203775

SUGGESTION
I do not like the link to the playlist lost in the About Me tab. I needed it more visible on the profile page. I would like the option to have the playlist inside a block with a link that says something like: "Take This Playlist With You". That link would open the popup so you can browse away from the profile page.

Here is my block code: (playlist code is red)


<!--new block-->
<!-- $id -->
<div id="$id" class="tborder content_block">
<h4 class="thead block_title">
<a href="#top" class="collapse_gadget" onclick="return toggle_collapse('$id')"><img id="collapseimg_$id" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_generic{$vbcollapse['collapseimg_'.$id]}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<a name="$id"></a>
<span class="block_name">My Playlist</span>
</h4>
<div class="block_content" id="collapseobj_$id" style="{$vbcollapse['collapseobj_'.$id]}"><div class="alt1 smallfont block_row block_footer">
<if condition="$userinfo['fieldXX']">
<div id="simple_aboutme_link"><a class="smallfont" href="#" onclick="window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/playlist.php?$session[sessionurl]userid=$prepared[userid]','playlist','status=1,width=450,height=344'); return false;"><phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[listen_to_xs_playlist]</phrase> <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/playlist.png" alt="<phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[listen_to_xs_playlist]</phrase>" border="0" class="inlineimg" /></a></div>
</if>
</div></div>
</div>
<!-- / $id -->
<!--new block-->
