Innovative Small MP3 Player BB Code
 

This BB Code will allow users to have a small mp3 player in:

• Posts in the forums
• Signatures i.e. Song of the day/week etc.
• anywhere you can use BB Code Tags

I found this while browsing: http://www.phpbb3bbcodes.com as I have some phpBB boards of my own and was tinkering as usual ;). It was rather simple to add as a BB Code to VBulletin and did not take much time to make it work in vB via the {param} tags etc!

Credit for the Code goes to phpbb3codes.com and the creator of the .swf player i.e. djgalix!

Time to install: 1-2 mins

Instructions:

• Download the .zip and extract the SWF player
• Upload the player_mp3.swf into your forum root folder
• Add new BB code:

AdminCP --> Custom BB Codes --> Add New BB Code

Title: mp3
Tag: mp3
Replacement: Use {option} = NO

*The Player .swf file HAS to be in your forums ROOT folder, this will make it NOT visible in AdminCP as that is another folder i.e. admincp folder BUT it will display FINE in the forums via FireFox and Internet Explorer! (Thanks for the catching that bug where it did not display joh!)

Now use the tags [mp3]Full Song URL Here![/mp3]

*Experienced Users can take the code replacement and hard code into forums where desired!

Demo

Enjoy!

Nice
Will try this out soon

Thanks
:D

Your demo is asking for a user name and pass, guy.

Not anymore!

Thanks for the catch!

:D

looks great and it works in fire fox but it does not show up in internet explorer browser.
can you help me out with this?

joh - thanks for the catch!!!

It works now in IE and FF!

Basically redo the BB code per the updated info above, making sure the .swf player file is in your forum ROOT folder!

Thanks again Joh!

S-MAN

thanks for that quick fix, but what about the adding the button to show up.
when I add the image it mess with the cod and remove the player and show the code.

got it fixed, i was using an image that was not on the site, but once i link to an image on my own site it worked.

Good to hear Joh, hope you enjoy :D

S-MAN

THANK U MAN THIS IS GREAT
I LOVE IT
CAN U TELL WHAT DO I NEED TO DO IF I WANT TO
Use {option} = YES

I tried it first using option = yes but nothing yet, tinker away though!

If I get any working differently I'll post them ;)

can this be made to detect the .mp3 and than automatically code it?

You mean detect the songs in a folder on the server, then create the codes to play each on one page?

Maybe...

Hello,

Several mp3 can play in a row, so with a BB code?

LG Franzis

Only one song... if you try it how I coded w/o the Option set to yes then you cannot play several as your forums will want to place the [URL] tags around the second song url and it errors it out!

If anyone get's it to do such then please post and I'll hug you even ;)

I know there are mods on here for actual players but I wanted something slim and found it :D so I gave details on how-to for vb!

S-MAN

Ok, thx, i think i will because what tinker....

LG Franzis

like me!

okay, I uploaded your file to the/public_html/forums root and now I see the mp3 player bar - looks nice and simple!

Tried to link to a couple of mp3 files on the internet, no success

Created a sub-folder under Forums called music and uploaded an mp3 file there - this is my preferred method anyway.
then used a path something like:
[mp3]www.mywebsite/home/anglico1/public_html/forums/music/rokmc-gon_zo_ga.mp3[/mp3]
also tried other locations for the "/home/"

I know this should be simple, but I'm an old fart and just learning, suggestions appreciated!

Thanks

I had used invalid url's

once corrected, the player works great!

Thank you very much.

Good to hear and no problem!

Also in case any of you did not want to use as a BB code and hard code it into a template etc...

thanks i use this bbcode
how can i repeat my mp3(its read 1 time i want it repead my song

Is there a URL where the code can be tested? TIA.

Hold tight and I'll have something for both of you, have to redo the wifes Itunes real quick ;)

Ohh lol, sure just click the demo link and in the post where I tell our members aboutt he code w/ an example URL listed ;) so just use that sample link to test :D

I didn't see that! Thanks!

On Edit:

Well now the when I click to play nothing happens. And here's how it shows up in Firefox:


" width="200" height="20" />
http://www.thelastsuperman.com/mymusic/TIWhateverYoulike.mp3" />

You have something else intalled that conflicts or you need to double check your install again ;)

Fredirector.php is listed in the text that will not display i.e. everyone hit to quote his post and see the code as this:

Thank you. Check your PM.

No problem! Now, check yours lol ;)

thanks!, installed.

Your Welcome! :D

My board has many hacks on it. Could it be the embeded YouTube? I can Admin you if needed.

Never ever ever ever offer that lofl.... you guys kill me sometimes with handing out admin access like candy...

Try once more making sure the .swf player file is in your FORUM ROOT folder on your ftp and the code is exactly the same... also test via a post, why? Is it just not viewable in admincp?? If so then the reason why is simple... the swf file is in your forums root folder not your admincp folder.

So if all that's correct when you do the test via the mp3 tags for the new bbcode you will see it ;)

Hope that helps ;)

Here's what I have:

Replacement:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="player_mp3.swf?mp3={param}" width="200" height="20" />
<param name="movie" value="player_mp3.swf?mp3={param}" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>


Example:

[mp3]http://www.thelastsuperman.com/mymusic/TIWhateverYoulike.mp3[/mp3]

I also tried:

[mp3]http://www.MyForum.com/forum/Misunderstood.mp3[/mp3]

Title: mp3
Code Name: mp3

:erm::erm:

Still doesn't work. :erm:

Allright... now that makes no sense... I guess your stumped so IF you can ignore my post saying such this one time then admin access if you want me to check it out but if that's what you have it SHOULD work... let me know what you want to do! Anything regarding access simply PM and I'll get to it tomorrow after work, tonight IF I have time but the wife did not have to go into work so most likely movie night ;)

YOU had it right! I double-checked all settings and then tested and it works fine... possibly how you copied the text for the test URL or maybe your editor choice in vb... but it is working, check your admin forums on your site and your inbox on here.

(ohh and one more reminder to delete that account as it's a security risk etc etc)

S-MAN

Will be great if the users can upload in a pre-dedicated webserver space theyre list of mp3.....

Without only the admins or who have the webserver access can upload the mp3 files.

Anybody want to post a site that offer a space for direct files (in this case mp3) uploads?

+1. IS there a site you guys can suggest where members can download their mp3s from their computers and use it? Not everyone has server access you know.

Guys I'm not sure if talking about things like this are the best idea on vB.. I mean I know the basic rules but past that there is so much on here to "know" lol...

I pretty much use I Tunes and that way it's legal, sometimes I rename the songs etc but not saying I don't have one or two by mistake or some transfer in the past but you know?! Also I have my own server err well rent looooooooottttttttssssss of hosting space so I can upload what I want as long as your not DL'ing it eh and I do not speak, type, or give permission to do so... so... we should be safe in theory from all the twisted copyright loopholes etc.

I would simply Google it if you need more info.
Edit: I do know many of the members on the TGW site have input site links where the file/song was and they have been enjoying it so I say google once more!

S-MAN

no body can say my answer?

I tried the normal code to repeat the song and it did not take, I do not have photoshop or cs3 so no program to modify or even view the .swf contents to see if it can be done there. If you wish to look up similar code and tinker then let us know if you get it working!

S-MAN

It`s working but i have a strange black line above the player...anyone knows why ?
Seems like its something that separates the post content from the signature content but i would like to not have it htere! 10x
