Miscellaneous Hacks - Song of the Day v1

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)


<-- 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

<!-- end today's birthdays -->
</if>

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.

(Please note that this is my first ever modification, I am still kinda new with vBulletin)

[Winterworks]

Rename your song file to 'everywhere.mp3'

Then edit the link.

[dave9720]

Renamed song and edited file. Showing up on forum but doesn't play shows file length at 00.00 in propertys

[waller99]

It appears it must be an .mp3 file. You can't just rename a .wma to .mp3. You need to upload an mp3 file to the music folder.

[Winterworks]

Yes, exactly.

I edited the code a little bit by the way.. Looks vetter now.

[Winterworks]

Please Install

Does anyone still use this? If so then I'll edit it for vb 3.7 and 3.8.
