vb.org Archive - Miscellaneous Hacks

I have decided that on my forum, I wanted a small hack, that would play songs on the forum, but instead, decided to make 'Song of the Day'.

Information:

Release V1:

You can play only one song, when it's uploaded to your forum, through FTP.

Release V2 (Coming Soon!):

You'll be able to listen to many different songs, they'll play on their own, and will pick a song randomly.

How to Upload:

Template(s) to Edit - 1
Codes to Add - 1

Template(s) to Edit: FORUMHOME

(Please Note: Everything in RED you must edit to your own needs)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ <-- Upload this photo to 'yoursite/forum/images/misc'.

In your FTP, go to 'yoursite/forum/includes' and add a new directory named 'music'.

Go to AdminCP > Styles and Templates > Your Template > FORUMHOME and search for

Under it, add:

That will add a working radio at the footer of your forum.

How to use it:

Each time you want a new song, you must upload a song into '/music', and edit the link above in the code.

This will only play the one song, until you upload a new one, next version should be edited, and play a assortment of songs.
