Ok, PM's deleted for security. You're welcome!;)

this is cool... Thanks.
**INSTALLED**

You're welcome! I'm releasing another modification tomorrow! :D

Agreed, looking forward to that as well. Otherwise nice mod...I'll have to run it on the dev server for awhile as I have some concerns about server load on a pretty large forum.

Hope to heck it pans out as my members would like this hack.

I have 3.6.3 and its now working on mine...the player shows but the song does not and I get this error when I try to edit the mp3 and approve the mp3, then I hit update and get this error. Maybe its not ready for 3.6.3 yet. I will wait patiently. :)


UPDATE,,,,Now it works...I just reloaded files and uploaded product again

This is an issue due to any mp3 track title having either a single or double quote in the title. An update will soon be available which fixes this problem.

this is what my navbar looks like for my custom template:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function log_out()
{
ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(gray scale=1)";
if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
{
return true;
}
else
{
ht[0].style.filter = "";
return false;
}
}
//-->
</script>

ANYONE??

Hi Stavs16,

Because you are using a custom style - the navbar link would not go in your navbar template. It is more than likely to be in your header template. You need to find where your Calendar 'call' code is situated.

If you can give me the name of the style I maybe able to tell you where the code is.
:)

sure no problem thanks, the name of my style is called visual depth. You can download it from minerskinz.com, it is situated in the 3.6 styles and templates

Hi there

Syrus is right if you are using a style other than vbulletins you would find the navbar links in the template called header

And would like some thing like this

then you would find
then add after
hope this helps you

mine does not contain that code in the header template.

I just had a quick look at the Style you are using - it looks like its using customized images for the links in the header. The navbar has been removed in the style.

You would need to change one of these images to launch the player. Does the style come with a spliced PSD (Photoshop Document)? Many free styles don't, that's why I'm asking. Because you would need to edit a button image and then change the code accordingly.

no it doesnt come with that.

what do i need to to then?

Firstly, you will need to edit one of your buttons in the header, so it reads something like 'mp3 player'. To do this you would need to recreate an exact replica of one of the existing buttons, but replacing the text. It's not an easy job without the original photoshop document.

Then the code for the button would need to be swapped out.

If you can try and create a button first, because if you can get that done, then the rest is quite easy.

[SUGGESTION]
Anyway that you can change some of the text to be a vB forum color and not black? This is what I get when I add an mp3:

http://upload.pzind.com/files/2/mp3.JPG

[PROBLEM]
The software isn't working for me. It says that the track was added, but nothing ever shows up on the playlist

The modification was based on a non-modified vbulletin board, so your CSS is probably set differently. You could get around this by adding your own new text definition in additional CSS of your custom Style, the change the classes in the mp3player_ templates.

The background of the mp3 flash player can also be changed. All it uses is a HEX color value which is in the mp3player_popup template of your style. Here's the default code:
As you can see there is a HEX color value variable "#666666" - this is the background color of the player and can be changed to match your styles background.

HTH

But all that needs to be added to that template is the vB code to use whatever color the forum is using. I don't think it should need any custom CSS, no?

And how do I troubleshoot this problem where MP3s aren't actually getting added to the playlist? I'm not getting any error in the browser, nor in the server logs.

I'll check the default class on normal text this.

There is a bug in the AdminCP which means even if you save your settings as not to approve new tracks added it doesnt save the setting. If you check the playlists you added these tracks to in the AdminCP, you should see they are not approved, once you approve them they will show.

All these errors will be fixed in the update.

i doubt i'll be able to do this. :confused:

where does the sfo files go? i get this error could not find phrase 'mp3player_cp_redirect" ?

and can u upload songs from your own computer or does it have to be the web.

That was the problem, thanks. Can I suggest that the submitter be added in the approve list?

Thats a good idea..:) Will look into that, with the full release to take this out of its beta release.

I already have flashobject.js in my root folder ( from The vbFLV Video Player) do I ftp it again or skip it

I did all the instructions but can't see anything in my ADmin CP. The only thing I didn't upload is (flashobject.js ) and if I click on the link in navbar it says I am not allowed to have access to that page...help if u can..thanks

new development: the MP3 settings menu showed up in the Admincp but still the same message ( not allowed to access this page) comes up and when trying to save settings I get (couldn't find phrase 'mp3player_cp_redirect')

The flashobject.js file you will find is common with all my releases, it makes all the flash movies cross-browser compatible.

You will need to import the Product XML file and then Refresh the AdminCP to see the 'MP3 Player Management' in the left side menu.

Also check you have allowed your usergroup access - Usergroups - Edit - Check permissions per usergroup. You should be all set then.

HTH
:)

How stupid I feel...If I had read your instructions carefully I wouldn't have made such a fool of myself...I was missing this (Also check you have allowed your usergroup access - Usergroups - Edit - Check permissions per usergroup)
Sorry..All good..I have also installed your vdo mod...You guys rock :)

Easily overlooked... ;)

i get this error could not find phrase 'mp3player_cp_redirect' when i try to update

I think this is normal..the coder said this exists
"Known Issues:
Redirect phrase missing in AdminCP.
Approval Setting not holding setting after clicking Update in AdminCP Settings.
Use of quote or double quotes causes database error in AdminCP."

This is listed under 'Known Issue' in the 1st post - it refers to a missing phrase in the AdminCP, it doesn't affect any functionality of the player settings.

Oops! Beat me... haytham. Thanks! ;)

you are most welcome...I was able to translate most of the important stuff for my forum readers and I changed the play list names easily...really great mod.

You're welcome! :) Yeah, the playlists names can be changed by editing the various templates on this version.

This will be an option in future versions.:)

can i use the same instance of the mp3 player on multable sites. both sites are on the same server but different databases and domains. i was thinking if i used complete paths in the borrowing sites nav bar path to player it might work?

im not concerned w/ the borrowing site to be able to upload anything. just be able to listen to it. i have a dj that is hooking it up on the intergrated site.

Yes, with full urls it should function with no problems. If it doesn't I can create a proxy for cross-domain access.

thanks syrus. it does work w/ a full path to player :D

i searched this thread and you were close to an explanation but can u give me and example on how you would use a button to open this player using a image/button in a header. i have a button and i know where i want it. just need to convert your code from text to image.

Is this not for sale at the moment? I went to the site and saw this message:

Sorry, that message is referring to a version that can be used globally, on any website. But all the players available on here and my site are free to use for vBulletin users.

There are forthcoming commercial versions of all players, but with many enhancements than what are currently on here.

I am gradually, tidying up my site so new modifcations can be added.

Thanks for the fast response! I will try this and the video player tomorrow. I'd love to be added to the list of folks you e-mail when a premium version is available. Looks great!

Mike

Is there a way to host the MP3s on another server? The site I want it on is on a shared plan, but I have a dedicated server with plenty of bandwidth. Same question with the video player.
