LIVE 'Now Playing' Hack
 

What it does:
With this hack, users can globally update what song they are playing at a particular time. All they need to do is click a button at the top of your forum and a little window pops up where they can update the song title and artist (very convenient for surfing your forums or even another site!). The song title and artist are displayed next to each of their posts and in their profile IF they have updated it less than 15 minutes ago (we don't want a live script to be not current!).

Current version: 1.0.1b

Enjoy! Screenshots will follow.

if anyone would like to post a demo, it would be appreciated :) i've only got this installed on my test board for now.

ya
I want a live demo
thx

/me will install it tomorrow too! Thanks!

thx. But i really dont want it in my getinfo and postbit. I was hoping for a live version in my message. OH WELL

Good job

it IS live! :p look at the hack title
it just happens that i made it show in the postbit / getinfo templates because those are the only logical places i could think of. it IS live, though.

This fixes some problems with apostrophes. To upgrade, remove the code from steps 3 and 4, then reapply these steps and replace nowplaying.php with the updated one included in the zip.
