[high]What does this Plugin do?[/high]
It let's you and your members display what they are listening to at the time of posting. The user will have to type in what they are listening into the now playing box at posting as there is currently no program that can see what you are listening to at this time.

Thanks to calorie for major help in fixing some datamanager issues :)

The 3.6.x Version is located here.

Does the member enter this info manually, or is it read automatically from iTunes/WinAmp/WMP/etc.?

w00 w00 nice one dan :D:D

Manual, unless you have a program that I don't know of that can automatically fill in the data ;)

Heh, I had this thread on my brain.

Your screenshots don't show the manual entry screen so I got my hopes up. Still, always nice to see new hacks appear. Thanks for sharing. :)

Nice! Works like a dream...Thank you for sharing!

Lady Divus *Clicks Install*

Edit:
If you want the postbit view to look like the postbit_legacy view, where the song title goes underneath the Now Playing: text,

Go to postbit template
Find:
Replace with:
Just a little break so it doesnt push your postbit table out...Be well -

Lovely hack, isit possible to change the text to red of what they are playing?

amazing thanks alot

sure just add the html./

In the postbit replace
with

hmmm, you should figure out what msn uses to see what your listening too? I know my Livejournal program also detects what I'm listing to when I post.

wow man thats a nice hack thanks alot dude appericate it.

dangit..mine didnt show up on the postbit..Im somewhat sure i followed the good instructions

silly question does this work with the windows media player or just the itunes / winamp etc

just curious as ive tried to install and nothing plays ...so assume its not set for windows media player ?

nvm..ive got it working now. The product didnt install correctly the first time.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

my apolagies indeed

it does work lol

just i have to type in !

sorry my stupid head was on lol..........................................i like the msn version but appreciate thats a different kettle of fish

maybe someone can sort it !

would be great if it was automatic.

Would require alot of extra coding, things on your computer like msn etc have direct access to this, this would require a plugin or direct system access, which means some very intrusive javascript or an activex control that could be really dangerous.

Works great, installed :)

Thanks for the hack! :)

installed and working great..i actually prefer it like this, typing it in. it only takes a few seconds :)

How do I get the font to be the same size as the rest of the test in the postbit?
And can the artist/song line go under the Now Playing: line?

This code has been tested on the latest version of vBulletin: 3.6 Beta 1 and is known to work.

Is there a wey to edit after post?

Installed, and working. But when I use the preview button the text i've written before dissapears. Any suggestion?

The thing I would like is an edit option to this. I tried adding it myself but I didn't succeed. When I would edit my post, it would just disappear altogether. I would love to see that feature added :).

Other than that great hack! I've slightly customized it to fit my needs (I didn't need a Now Playing hack, but I did need a field added to the post) so thank you so much! I appreciate the work put into this.

Hmm... I'll check into that completely forgot about the edit page.

Getting this error:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'nowplaying' in 'field list'

Install died on my the first time, so I assume I have some latent tables lying around. I can't uninstall it, I get this:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE vb3_post DROP nowplaying;

MySQL Error : Can't DROP 'nowplaying'; check that column/key exists
Error Number : 1091

So I tried overwriting it, but no joy. It looks like it's not creating the table. I tried adding it manually, but wasn't entirely the sure on the settings.

Edit: Want to mention that the bad install isn't the hack's fault, it's my cablemodem suffering from some really bad timing when importing.

Please delete this post, fixed my issue

Does this work with 3.6?

Hi
Thanks for a nice hack, which installed without problems on my vB 3.5.4. I've considered a vB upgrade to 3.6.3. Do I have to uninstall my current version of Now Playing before upgrading and then install the 3.6. version or is there an upgrade option?

Good idea, thank you!

Dear Dan, but no editing, please do editing.

Please help me uninstall

:(
