Just upgraded to the new version and I can upload the songs ok but none show up in the jukebox on the forum?

Also the rate etc links dont work.

trafix, thanks for the hack!

Two questions that may seem dumb, but I don't mind that:

Does this hack use vB attachments in any way?

Are there players involved in playing either the music or the video? Like Real Player or Windows media?

Thanks. Just trying to understand the layout of this before installing.

the songs must be approved and posted by the admin, I am not sure if there is an option to "auto approve" but it seems to me that there is...

edit: there doesn't seem to be that option, but maybe trafix can add it to the wish list :D (the top of my wish list is the "submit URL only" feature I requested).

Boy we are sure keeping him busy ... thanks trafix for all of the hard work!

A quick question, just before install...

How legit is this? I mean, can the user download the songs right? This is bad i think:(

Apart from that, excellent hack

Ok im awake after a sleep to answer your q's

@ Deviant
No .... did you have the previous version installed? ... if yes clear your chache, i had the same problem when i upgraded a clients site.

@ quachvu
Click on the rating stars :)
please search for 'jb_emailadmin' in your phrase manager there should be 2 of them, 1 in the email body and the other in the email subject phrase groups

@ yoyoyoyo
yes the installer will run as an upgrade and will install fine, i tested that in a client site and all worked well, as for the url link ... i will look at it in the next version :)

@ The Realist
Yes all songs uploaded from the user end by default are not active ... i added this cos i wanna know what ppl are lostening to ... in the admin track list you can preview a song by clicking on its title. .... there is NO auto aprove here cos i dont think its safe ;)

@ spence2
1) NO it dosnt use the attachment system at all, because we are using media files i dont think the sql database could handle it so all media is uploaded to a folder in your forums root folder

2) The jukebox uses embeded tag and by defult the windows media player is used to play the media ;)


@lanc3lot
Its up to your own descression here ;) .... all midi files are fine to use in your jukebox
Original material that has not been released is also fine as long as you get permission from the artist ... IE ... the next door neighbour who plays piano before you upload it;)

@ all

Ist great to see all these replies, dont forget to click install ;) ... i would love to see this one on next months HOTM ;)

trafix

How do you pre approve tunes in the new version?

They work by clicking the title in admin, but dont work via the forum.

Also

how can a user upload from there end?

in the admin song list ... click on "Edit" and there you can apporve a song :)

For users to upload songs you must set the usergroup permissions by going to the admin area ... expand the usergroup menu select the usergroup manager. From there edit each usergroup for what pernissions you want them to have.

Enjoy!

Sorry i miss read the second part of your post :(

If you dont want your members to upload songs ... set the permission accordingly, this will make it so that songs can only be uploaded in the admin area.

With that being said .... all songs uploaded by your members WILL NOT be added to the jukebox playlist until you activate it, you can listen to songs in the admin area just by clicking on the songs title ;)

Hey,
I love this mod! It looks like it is very good! I got it installed and everything, but when I FTP a song to my music folder and then try to add it through the admin cp it says "This song file already exists". How else can I FTP the song and then add it to the playlist?

Thanks.

if you decide to upload the song with your FTP client then you have to manually enter the data into the db ... at the top of the "Add" page in the admin area there is a link that says "Change to manual data entry"

and enter as normal
