Do you have an example?

<i>I fixed it! </i>I recopied all the ohject code into the bbcode record, saved it, and it worked. Good job!

hi i'm a little confused as to where this goes

Now, in your newattachmentbit template add this to the bottom and change the URL to your own.
Code:

<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
<table class="fieldset" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
You may optionally add the following line by copying and
pasting it into the body of the post. This will allow it to be played in an embedded
media player inside the post.
</tr>
<br />
<tr>
<b>[MP3]http://www.yoursite.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=$attach[attachmentid].mp3[/MP3]</b>
</tr>
</table>

does this go into new attachment php???? i can get the WMP to show up ok on my board but i cant get the songs to play,mp3 files are uploading ok as well,,i just dont know where to put the above file please help

No, that section goes into the newattachmentbit template only, just scroll to the bottom of the template and paste it in. Then be sure to change the url to match your site, where your vb directory is:
[MP3]http://www.yoursite.com/vbdirectory/attachment.php?attachmentid=$attach[attachmentid].mp3[/MP3]

where do i find the newattachmentbit template?????or do i paste it all below this code

or my forum home page
thanx for your help so far,i'm all new to this

Please read the instructions carefully, the first part you posted is the bbcode which is added through your admin CP > bbcodes (in the left menu towards the bottom). Then you need edit the newattachmenbit template by going into admin CP > Styles and templates > Search in Templates and type in newattachmentbit which will bring up the template where you will post the code that I gave.

hi i followed your instruction,put i still cant get it to play,uploading mp3 shows exactly the same as your screen shots,but when i click play it does nothing,my main web page is www.sats-general.com,and my forum is http://www.sats-general.com/forum/index.php?
ive tried both in template
[MP3]http://www.sats-general.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=$attach[attachmentid].mp3[/MP3]
and
[MP3]http://www.sats-general.com/forum/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=$attach[attachmentid].mp3[/MP3]

what am i doing wrong??? :o

update the player doesnt like mozilla,i tried it using IE 6 i can click the play button it says connecting to media then stops in a matter of seconds,if i click on the file it opens up a seperate WMP window,ive loaded everything correctly what am i doing wrong here

Are you using 3.0.7? I am wondering if this doesn't have a problem with this version, can anyone else confirm?

i'm using 3.0.3,the embedded player wont work for me when i click the play button it goes to load media then hangs up,all my files are stored in the database could that be a problem?
