Christmas Sound For Your Forum

[blackpheonix]

Its nearly christmas i know you may not be wanting to here this but it is :p

so i have realeased this again its same as the one i released for 3.0


first download the zip file and unzip it and upload it to main forum directory then

goto admincp -> styles & templates -> edit templates -> find header then click edit to edit the header now follow these simple instructions.

at the very top of the header template add

For a unlimited loop use this code:


<!-- Christmas Sound by Blackpheonix -->

<EMBED src="/forum/sound/jingle.mid" autostart=true loop=true volume=100 hidden=true><NOEMBED><BGSOUND src="/forum/sound/jingle.mid"></NOEMBED>

<!-- /Christmas Sound by Blackpheonix -->


for it to play the song once use this code:


<!-- Christmas Sound by Blackpheonix -->

<EMBED src="/forum/sound/jingle.mid" autostart=true loop=false volume=100 hidden=true><NOEMBED><BGSOUND src="/forum/sound/jingle.mid"></NOEMBED>

<!-- /Christmas Sound by Blackpheonix -->

i would if i knew how im pretty much a noob at this :)

[funinthesun]

This is cool, will install in December. Thanks :)

[JsnakeJ]

Only thing needed is a little stop/start button and its good.

[Startinfresh]

I can't get it to work :(

[funinthesun]

Have you uploaded the file? Also, you might need to edit the template code if your forum root isn't in /forum/

[funinthesun]

OK, this is the first time I've ever posted something like this but I guess we all have to start somewhere! :p

If you want your members to be able to turn the christmas sound on and off you can do this:

Go to AdminCP => Profile Fields => Add new Profile field => Single Select Menu

Title: Play Christmas Tune
Description: Choose yes to play the christmas tune.
Options:
Yes
No
Set Default: Yes, but No First Blank Option
Editable By User: Yes
Display Page: Options: Other Options

Write down your field# . i.e field8

The code I am using is:


<if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldX] != 'No'">
<!-- Christmas Sound by Blackpheonix -->

<EMBED src="/sound/jingle.mid" autostart=true loop=false volume=100 hidden=true><NOEMBED><BGSOUND src="/sound/jingle.mid"></NOEMBED>

<!-- /Christmas Sound by Blackpheonix -->
</if>

All you have to do is add the tags

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[fieldX] != 'No'"> and </if> to wrap the code and you're done :)

I've tested this on my forum so I know that it works.

Remember to change fieldX to the field id. If your forum root is in /forum then you will have to change the code to /forum/sound/jingle.mid instead.

Excellent ...Installs

Ya I got it. It took me a minute to realize mine was forums and not forum.

Thanks. I LOVE IT!!

I tried this and it still plays the music.

**Edited to add that I figured it out**

[funinthesun]

Yay! I'm glad my tiny bit of code worked :p

[jarod1981?]

How can I song a sing just one time?

Because I don't like to hear always!

Thanks all!

[jarod1981?]

Help me, please :surprised:

[funinthesun]

Scroll up ;)

[jarod1981?]

Pardon, Thanks Funin :rolleyes:

[funinthesun]

Your welcome ;)

[Borgs8472]

My users would lynch me (again) if I installed this. However I have had a happy few minutes listening to the attached midi :)

[funinthesun]

Why not set the default to no and then your members who do want to play it can?

[lairnoc]

i love it!!!!

[ahmed-samara]

Great little hack

[xhybrid]

Is it possible to play a MP3?

[clearchannel]

This works very nicely in vB 3.6.4 as well. Thank you, my member love it!

[clearchannel]
