vb.org Archive - Add-On Releases - ShoutCast Status

*This Mod requires Zachariahs ShoutCast Status Forumhome to be installed*
------------------------------------------------

What does this modification do?

This will simply add a more prominent ShoutCast Server Status in your navbar which will aid in more forum members and guests being aware your site has a ShoutCast broadcast enabling them to listen in using windows media player, if online.

What do I need?

You need Zachariahs vb3.6 ShoutCast Server Status Mod installed as mentioned above & a working vbulletin 3.6. You can also use this mod with vBadvanced with the further instructions included.

What have you tested this on?

Tested on vb3.6.8, ShoutCast Status Forumhome mod 2.0 & vBa v3.0 RC2

Demo?

http://www.sog-team.co.uk/index.php > SEE NAVBAR

Instructions:

1)
Firstly upload the image attached "shoutcast_offs.gif" to your styles image misc folder. Example; "domain"/images/misc/

2)
Now open your styles "navbar" template and find:

Code:

<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>

                </if>

        </td>

Underneath add:

Code:

<!-- / START SOG-TEAM SCAST NAVBAR STATUS -->



<if condition="$streamstatus">

<td class="alt1" nowrap="nowrap"><div class="smallfont"><img border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/radio.gif" alt="$servertitle: $vbphrase[online] ($currentlisteners/$maxlisteners @ $bitrate kbs)" ALIGN=LEFT><center><b>$servertitle</b><br /><a href="#" onclick="window.open('/forum/$vboptions[forumhome].php?do=mp','mp','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=360,height=75'); return false;"><span style="text-decoration: blink;">Tune In</span></a></center></td>



<else />



<td class="alt1" nowrap="nowrap"><div class="smallfont"><img border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/shoutcast_offs.gif" alt="$servertitle: $vbphrase[offline]" ALIGN=LEFT><center><b>$servertitle</b><br/>$vbphrase[offline]</center></td>
