NOW PLAYING HACK for vBulletin 2.2.8 (UPDATE)

Adds a 'Now Playing' field to your new thread and new reply pages where users can enter whatever they're listening to, and their post will be appended with something akin to: "NP: Some Song by Some Band".

All support questions should be posted in this thread :)

Remember: BACKUP YOUR DATABASE!! I am not a PHP guru by any stretch of the imagination -- the following code works fine for me, so you should not have any problems.

It's been tested on cB 2.2.8. I will not be held responsible if your forum crashes, or turns into a Britney Spears BB ;)

You can see it in action at my Ultimate Metal forums where I've modified it slightly to have a small CD icon in place of the usual 'NP:'.

This is my first ever hack, so please do let me know any shortcomings or errors!! :)

I hope you enjoy it as much I plan to ;)

Added to: now includes 'editpost.php' and 'editpost' template changes!:)

UPDATED for 2.2.8 (very minor fix in newreply.php - if it's working for you, there is NO NEED to upgrade! This will be the last update until vB3 is out :)

this hack sounds good~~

thankz MarkB!!:D

Sounds Great, i gonna try it on my 2.0.3 version

It works great, i had 2 change some codes but finally it works fine on vb 2.0.3

Also where it says:
That didnt worked, i changed it to $post[nowplaying] and it works perfect now.

Thanks for the great hack.

Oops, sorry, that was indeed an error. I've updated the attachment :) Thanks for pointing it out! :)

Purty Work, consider it installed

great hack....

was wondering how i would alter the nowplaying template to have a image instead of saying NP:

thanks for this :)

coooool, i figured out how to add the image on my own....thanks again!!

Mark, i also edited the editpost.php & editpost template so that if someone edit his post then he can add the np too.

*hint* ;)

good idea :)
