Reading the new Install Instructions, I saw the new template edit, but I can't find where it says WHAT template to edit. You said in a previous post headinclude correct?

You might want to make what template is being edited clearer.

The backend appears to work properly, but I'm now having a problem with the frontend usage.

After 'successfully' adding 1 mp3 to playlist 1, I load up the player via the navbar and it starts up (more than it did before this patch). However, it says there are no songs in any playlists and presents me with a single song called undefined at a length of 0:00 (can you call that a song then?).

I verified in the admincp and the file is still there, but no dice on the forum frontend.

Using vBulletin 3.6.5.

EDIT: Problem resolved. I had MP3 Approve disabled in the settings (only admins could add songs anyways). I was forced to turn it on so that MP3 Approved could be set to 1. It appears that with the setting off and songs added through the admincp MP3 Approved is set to 0 by default.

The instructions I'm re-writing since they are out-of-date, but it is all there in the first post, including the template edits.

As regards to the undefined error in the player, please read this article. See if that solves your problem.

Also check the mp3 is approved, as the admincp setting is not holding this setting - this is currently being worked on.

Insane Mod! Kudos to Syrus.xl for taking the time to get it right.

Thanks The Bish! There will be another update within the next month hopefully, that will mean this mod will be 100% bug free.:)

Hi guys, I have a quick question.

The link for my MP3 player will not work on my CMPS page but will work on the rest of the forum pages. I've added 'mp3playerindex.php' to the replacements list but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!
Sherry

Hi Sherry,

It's probably because you have the CMPS installed outside the vbulletin directory. Here's what you need to do.

Edit the code for the popup, in the navbar. You will see a line of code with this url in:
mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup

Prepend this line so its the absolute url, not relative. Hence it will look something like this:
http://www.mydomain.com/forum/mp3pla...mp3playerpopup

That will fix this problem. :)

Thank you very much!! :)

Any ideas

Have you installed the latest version? The product XML fixes that bug. It was a bug that appeared in a previous version, but I've fixed it in the update.

If you installed the version older than 3.5 then you'll need to update to the latest. The upgrade requires a full overwrite of all files.

woops...i see silly me will try it ..let you no:)

Easily overlooked... and I am going to delete the old version soon.:)

Hi, yes working fine can you only up load 15 tracks:(

Peter

It does have a limit, but not 15 - the coding has a limiter enabled to 100 tracks per playlist, due to slowing down the processing required by the mp3 player.

I am all installed but I cannot get mine to work! I checked all of the files for proper placement but nothing! I do have the double nav bar and I put it in adifferent place than the install docs siad. Would that be the reason possibly?? I wouldn't think so but it is all that I can think of! Can someone help? All I get is the screen that says: you might not have flash or java enabled!

Hi,no you have it in the right place i have the same navbar:

You need http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

and/or http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

Thats what i needed,then will be okay :D

Peter

Sign up on site then you can see it working

But I have flash and java already and some of my members have tried it and get the same thing.

P.S use latest version too:)

I installed the zip that was labled, Latest Version! Is that the one?

yep....

A major update for this modification will be released later today.

The update fixes ALL known bugs and a lot of code as been changed. A full list of will be available later!

If you have clicked this modifcation as Marked then you will receive an email when the package is available.

See main modifcation for details.

Update ASAP, due to security hole found in previous versions.

Hello. I made a lot of changes to the appearance of the mp3 player on my site. I changed the names of the playlists, their layout on the page, colors, margins, and also disabled the annoying "click to activate" from to the Flash. I am guessing that updating to the latest version will cause me to lose all those changes I have made? Can you confirm this? Thanks.

You could just overwrite the mp3player_admin.php - this file contains most of the fixes and the security hole which was found.

The 'Click to Activate' problem was fixed in a previous Product XML update.

Then you will not lose any customization to the modification. :)

Excellent! I will wait for that then and give it a try!! Thanks for letting us know!!

The package is already updated to version 3.6.0

:)

Which files do we need to upload for this last update?
only mp3player_admin.php?

Yes, this is the only file which was affected. It fixes 3 problems, 2 bugs and a security hole.

Is it possible to install this as a new page rather than a pop up ?
If so what code do I need make it work please ?

I have just read through all 45 pages and couldnt see anything...
Apologies If I missed any posts explaining how to do this..

Yes, it can be set to appear on a separate vBulletin page. But it would require either additional coding using vBulletins custom template misc.php or adding a new PHP page with custom templating.

Really, it depends on how you wish to use it. If you want to use usergroup permissions correctly then it would require an additional PHP page, and a new custom template added. However, this would probably require additional coding in the admin section.

But, on saying that you could probably get around this by just using a standard vBulletin custom page, and using the current usergroup settings of the Mp3 Management System, since it would stop guests from viewing tracks.

If you want to know the code, then I'll write an addon tutorial for displaying this within vBulletin.

Ok, you 're a cool guy, Syrus, maybe you can help with a question...I just installed this yesterday.....
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=125817

I'm not very technically inclined, and want to know if I should be upgrading to this one here? Very confused right now...

There's a big difference between this one and the one you installed. The one you have installed is the old XML driven version, which doesn't use no database queries. It's not very secure, by that I mean, by hiding urls of mp3's.

The one you see on here is fully integrated with vbulletin's database, and no one can view urls of mp3's. This one also has many other features, setting up of which usergroups can add to the player, etc. It uses an Admin Management System, which can be set to PM you if anyone adds a track for approval, if you set to approve mp3's before adding them to the playlists. Plus you have a 500 track limit on this version, compared to the 100 track limit on the old one.
:)

I haven't been storing the mp3's in my database...I'm using an outside uploader, like you had suggested, as I don't really like the idea of having them in the DB, plus the laws are different here, yadda, yadda, etc... Ok, whoa, wait a minute...500 for each playlist or for the the whole system?? There a limit of 100 for each playlist on the one I'm using...

Ok, now that you've got me considering this new system of yours...how difficult would a switchover be? Especially regarding the mp3 uploading...can I use the same playlists I've created?

Well, this mp3 player uses the same format, as in using external links to mp3's which can be literally anywhere on the web.

The older one can only hold 100 songs and has no limiters that prevent you going over this limit, which would cause the player to become unstable. This one uses limiters, so it's impossible to add more than 100 songs per playlist. Basically, both can hold the same amount but this one is better in many ways. You can view a demo of this player in the first post.

Actually, changing from the old version to this version isn't an easy task, since you will need to add the songs one by one into the Mp3 Adding screen, it does allow you to add 3 songs at a time, which is better than a single track at a time. All editing/deleting is done via the Mp3 Player Management within the AdminCP.

That's what I was afraid of...the moving...I think I might just stay with the older one for now...but I know my friends would like the interaction of this one, I'm sure a switchover is inevitable...I'm just not ready...Yet.

Thank you for your patience...:)

You're welcome!:)

What exactly do I need to remove (files and?) in the old player to install this new player??

You don't remove any files... All files in the UPLOAD folder you need to upload and overwrite the old ones. Then import the product.xml file using vBulletins Product Manager.

Ok I did the overwrites and I imported the XML but I set to overwrite. Was that right because I still cannot get mine to work! Maybe I have too many mods in my site!

Yeah, that is correct, overwrite when importing the product.xml file.

Did you press F5 or Refresh after importing the product.xml file? Straight after the Mp3 Player Management should be available in your AdminCP. You then select Mp3 Management Settings and set it up and click the Save button.

This mod shouldn't interfere with other mods, all the files are carefully named not to conflict.

I installed the update but I do not know what info to put in the settings boxes, can you help?
