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!

EDIT: If your looking for an MP3 Player that can handle a playlist please check out Macc's new release in April 09 --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=210115

Demo does not require registration/log-in anymore!

Sorry & Thanks!

Sorry, I responded in the 3.6 forum by accident. I just get a blank spot where the player should be. if I click around on the spot a blue box appears as it's highlighted. once I click off though it disappears again.

I'm using 3.7.4

I fixed the problem......your code needs to be fixed see bolded below

I fixed it in IE per joh's post in the 3.8 thread, please check the new method and compare to yours and see which one works better in your opinion and thanks for the help!

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!

Actually, use the update I provided as your work-around is not required and the simpler the better IMO :D

Thanks though for the attempt, seriously ;)

This looks sweet superman :) Will try it out.

Btw, I hope the code is similar for all 3 versions of vb.

And what happens if user enters a url which does not point to a .mp3

Thank you

It's identical but most members here on vB.org are not experienced in coding at all so you have to post your mods even if compatible for all versions in each forum for add-ons etc else they will never even look for it eh? ;)

Url w/o mp3 = nothing.

Did you want a video player?

There are other mods for that but I can whip you up one real quick?

Or a download BB code?
The Box w/ the DL folder and green arrow button shown here --> http://www.tournamentgamingworld.com...read.php?t=988

At the very bottom just above my sig is a BB Code!

Lemme know!

work good but can it play all the mp3 list in the root folder?

Only the one you list in the between the [mp3]http://www.yoursite.com/yourmusicfolder/yoursong.mp3[/mp3] tags! You can create a folder instead of using root, try to keep your root folder clean to make it easy on you, name the folders where you know what they do or have in them etc.

It will not play song after song or loops as it's just a simple BB code for use ;).

Thank you, installed!
Tested on Firefox, Safari and Camino (on Mac OS X) it works perfectly!
