Name That Tune
 

************************************************** ****
What is Name That Tune
************************************************** ****

Well name that tune is a sinple game for your members to play.
You view a tune you want to play and click the play button,
listen to the tune and then see if you know what the song is.
If you get the song right you win the jackpot, but if you get
it wrong the cost of play is added to the jackpot.

This is a simple but fun add-on to your vbulletin site.


************************************************** ****

NO CASH NAME THAT TUNE SYSTEM

I have added a zip file that does not use a cash system.
It has a multiplyer and a timer for playing.
You set the timer for the game and set how much will be won by
some thing like this

Multiplyer*timeleft ( 25*15 )
this would be the users score.

If they answer wrong it will add what is set in the settings for that game like

Multiplyer+If Wrong ( 25+10)

So in afect if a player gets it wrong it makes the multiplyer go up, and makes it better for the player who gets it right as the multiplyer will be higher.

All support for this script will be at

www.vb-hacks.com

As i dont have the time to keep looking here.

is there any new features comparing of that for 3.6.8 ?

no every thing is the same but if you want some thing else added why not let me know and ill let you know if it can be done.

i hope that will use vbcredets in this great addon and scan folder and insert the files on it automaticly so this will add more functionality to this addon

Can this currently use vbux (vbplaza cash)?

this can use any cash system just enter in the cash table to be used in the settings

How do you add the cash table i have ICash on and it wont detect it

Thanks

You have to find out what cash table icash uses then enter that into the admincp setting to name that tune.
You best bet is to goto the fourm you got icash from as it will tell you there i hope lol.

A highscore list would be nice.

Great!
Working well so far with my 3.7b4 test.
One thing I added since I like to keep my templates organized is an extra plugin.
New Plugin:
Product: Name That Tune
Hook Location: vBulletin; General Administration --> template_groups
Title: Name That Tune
Plugin PHP Code: $only['mmnamett'] = 'Name That Tune';

This cleaned up my template area nicely

Will add this into next release

Thanks

Umm, Where is it upposed to be? I have it in the ACP but carn't see it anywhere else!

under name that tune settings... there is a PM setting, but not much description. What is that for? Is a pm sent when someone wins the jackpot or... ?

also, I am getting SQL errors when attempting to "add new tune". I'm using 3.7 stable and Name that tune 1.6.

Hi there

I will sort this out for you very soon as its a small error in one part of the code.
Ill do it later on tonight or tomorrow as im moving server at the moment.
Once i have moved my sites over to the new server i will sort this out and post the update here.

Thanks for letting me know about this error.

Mike

Thanks Mike! much appreciated :)

I uploaded the files and imported the product.... but it kept importing forever (the little colons kept multiplying....)

Did I not wait long enough? How long should it take?

Ok Have installed this.

Finally figured out how to access it , from within forum lol.

Issues are:
No Cash System ? Where and how does this work.. this thread states you have a no cash system, and multipliers etc etc .. nothing in Admincp tho, nor in install files.

Also, when you instigate the name that tune question, the player loads, then disappears stating you have run out of time ? Whats going on there ?

No access or info on vb-hacks website, and cant do a search cos coppa image not displaying.

Site url for our install is:
http://www.yobromofo.com/forum/mmnamett.php

How did you access it, from within the forum?!?

Well, I guess it uploaded after all... strange.

Anyway, it says to upload the XML for the 'intros' songs, but there is no XML file in that zip that I noticed.

Bumping this thread... :)

...Awaiting an answer plzzzz...

You dont have to use the cash system for this just turn it off.

Also im sorry everyone that i have not been here i just got out of hospital yesturday.
Just need alittle time to get a bit better


thanks

Get well soon mate.

Issues we have had, is when the timer times out, it logs you out lol.
Have figured out how to increase times for song intro.s Shame timer doesnt start when the player and tune have loaded.

Anyway, stay lucky

Ozz

Have fixed this error now please reupload the file no upgraded needed just replace old files with these new ones.

Hi there m8

In the admincp settings to the name that tune you will find this

Cash Sytem Active? Do you want to use a cash system for this script.Yes No
Cash System Used Enter the name of the database field where your points field is located. Advanced users only! (Default is vbbux)

If you do not see this then please upgrade to the new name that tune here.
Let me know if you have any other problems.

This feature is great! :) Thanks to those who have been kind enough to provide mp3 packs as well, much appreciated :)

I only have a couple of suggestion to make, and that is for the "category" and "open/closed" fields not to reset when you edit a Tune (via Tunes List)? I had them all placed in right spots and then went through to alter just the "open/closed" field, only to find it had moved all of the tunes to the first default category as well because I had left that field alone. Then when I went through fixing the category fields, all the open/closed fields had reset to turn these songs off lol.

So yeah would be good if this can be fixed.

Also, it would be great if there was a mass way to change fields for all songs (ie turn all songs on/off in one hit, change their category etc) - maybe by a checkbox option on the List page?

Otherwise thanks heaps, this is going to be very popular when we throw our monthly online party nights :D

Thanks michael! :up: works like a charm now :D

I will sort this out very soon so that it will keep the categorie you have already got it in.

Hello there -
Inadvertantly download this and the prior version. Uninstalled the prior version and am awaiting a reply before proceeding. (I love the mod but there's a couple of questions from my first installation)

Installed and somewhat pleased although a couple minor observations resulted in my tiny wish list:

Most importantly, I'd love to lose case-sensitivity as I seem to have every combination of users - some of which mention that titles are generally Proper Case and have apostrophe's and such. I spent too much time griping at users for ALL UPPER CASE or no punctuation in threads to ignore them on this one... (In other words, I believe they're typing in exactly what the liner notes state as a title... maybe)

In the administration area, it would be nice if it were categorical as with 40 or 50 tunes, it's quite a page... (Sounds like you already handled this one?)

If your want to group your Name That Tune templates (mmnamett) in your Admin CP, go to Plugins & Products >>> Plugin Manager >>> [Add New Plugin] and create a new plugin.

Set the Hook Location to template_groups.

Title it Name That Tune (mmnamett).

Then put this in the Plugin PHP Code:

And save.

Go to your Style Manger and you should now have a template should now all be grouped together under Name That Tune.

Just wanted to find out what I'm doing wrong with this - all files uploaded and all menus show up in the ACP. Checked the Styles & Templates and all required templates are there. Enabled the hack but it doesn't show up anywhere. It's not clear if a link is supposed to show up on the navbar, Usercp, another thread ot where this is supposed to be accessed from?

It's late & it's probably something simple that I'm just not seeing.

Did you set your Usergroup Permissions?

General settings - Name that tune set to yes. User group permissions set to yes for view, play, in-line mod and upload tunes for all groups - still nothing. Where is this supposed to show up?

Are you expecting there to be a link somewhere on your forum, because that kind of stuff is usually left up to the administrator and not put in automatically (aside from the fact that auto insertion sometimes messes up people's custom navbars). You navigate to the PHP file you uploaded when you installed the mod to see if it's working, and then you put links to it on your forum where you like.

Jedi,
Thanks for the clarification - I thought this was like some of the other hacks that automatically added itself to the navbar or CP menu. Next problem - everything seems to be working correctly, but only for the admin. If I log in as a user the menus are shown, it lets you select the tune. plays it and when you give your answer or let the timer expire it logs you out.

I saw this problem in one of the above posts - but didn't see an answer to the problem posted. I set all permissions in the User Group Manager the same as the admins (yes to view, play,access in-line mod, & upload tunes) but that didn't make any difference either- when logged in as a registered user it still logs you out.

Any help in fixing this would be appreciated.

vbplaza support?

cant find the code to enter into my navbar? to create the link? can someone please be kind enough to provide it. i have everything installed but cant find a way to see the hack.. im guessing its missing from my navbar. please help

forget it i just uninstalled it :(

I had a login problem, but it wasn't related to Name That Tune, it was related to one of my custom template modifications. Have your tried disabling all your other hacks to see if there was still a problem.

Turn around time for a reply is a lot longer then 20 minutes. Sometimes it's weeks. You can find the tutorial for adding links to your navbar in the articles section of the forums.

Ok - disabled all other hacks - deleted this and reinstalled it (a couple of times) and basically have the same problem, except it now logs the admin out too. All menus and permissions work. The past winners list is blank. When you play the tune it doesn't matter weather you let the time run out without answering or if you submit an answer - it still logs you out.

When you go to log back into the forum it puts up a message telling you it is updating your score and then gives you this error message:

"Error In Sending Score
Error:.........

Sorry there was a error in sending your score.
This might be down to you already having a score saved for this tune.
Or you tryed to go back and play the tune again.

Sorry but you cannot go back and try again as this is cheating,
and if you keep trying to cheat you will be band from playing Name That Tune.

Thankyou for reading this error message. "

This happens even if you delete all of the tunes and categories and add new ones that haven't been played before. Anyone got any ideas on this?

Bumped this from a few days ago - I'd really like to know if anyone can tell me what's causing this.

The problem in a nutshell is that it works right up until the point that you submit your guess or let the timer run out without submitting a guess - at which point it then logs you out of the forum. When you go to log back in puts up a message saying that it's updating your score - and then gives you the above error message - but why is it logging you out in the first place?

And you say it does it even when all your other modifications are disabled? Have you tried this on your demo board on a clean install of vBulletin? I can't imagine what else would cause this but a mod conflict.
