Profile Songs?

[Shadow Blaze]

All I'm looking for is a simple hack to make a section in your profile page that allows html use to play a midi or mp3 or something... Is there an option in here that i can turn it on and make it work or can someone make me a hack to accomplish this please ^_^ thank you anyone who can help... basically all I want to accomplish is to allow the use of the code like this

<bgsound src="Enter link to song here" autostart="true" loop="infinite">

and basically all they see is a blank field that says to enter the song link in the empty box... hope that helps describe what i'm lookin for... ^_^

It sounds simple enough... I might could make this.

Why not use the vbRadio ?

Will the song be playing continuously as you browse through that certain forum (if so, then it might require a popup window or something) ?

Is it possible to make this work for FireFox? Embed tags generally don't work for FireFox.

Any easy way of limiting this to only allow including .mid midi files? :)

[BlackxRam]

yeah being able to restrict to midi would be a nice reason to make this a actual modification, that or the ability to link to an online station right there.

[evenmonkeys]

Well... I'd do it the cheesy way and put .mid at the end of the hardcode. Probably not a good choice though. In the profile field, you would just tell them to leave out the trailing .mid extention.

Keyword... firefox... lol you should try another browser ;) i know people claim it's the best but maxthon is the exact same without some of the problems that it has... Orrrrrr if you're able to learn how to use it properly Opera's a good one but some people have problems with it >.< just depends i guess... but yea if you have problems with embeds on ff then change because that proves they suck ;)

Does this work w/ 3.5?

[agiacosa]

This isn't working for me. Anyone using it in 3.5? Any changes?

Figured it out. Thanks.

[Shadow Blaze]

ummmm........ just for anyone else who wants to use this i have a slight fix for it, dunno if it was always like this or if it's just a vb3.5.1+ but i'm running vb3.5.3 and i found problems in the user profile fields not to mention the code was broken apparently and wouldn't play at all.... sooooo i'll go ahead and put this...

<if condition="$profilefield[title] != 'Profile Music'">
<tr>
<td>
<strong>$profilefield[title]</strong>:<br />
$profilefield[value]
</if>
<td>
<embed src='$profilefield[value]' autostart='true' loop='true' width='1' height='1' />
<noembed>
<bgsound src='$profilefield[value]'>
</noembed>

this is the new stuff that should appear in your memberinfo_customfields template... as far as I've found that fixes all issues with this coding ^_^ enjoy ;)

i'm running 3.5.3 and the original code works with no problems

Anyone else now getting a ActiveX error message using this now?

[SixteenOhNine]

Have you looked into using the AnyMeda BBCode (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=106239) extension that's available?

I'ved used this and while it does allow it more so across the forum, it allows them to use BBCode to surround a URL and will either play video or music.

It's rather nice and works well enough from what I've seen. I've not really had any issues in FF or IE.

[OFFSHORE DAN]

cool thanks

[TCE Killa]

Does this work for 3.6.8? I really want something like this for my forum, thanks.
