BB Code Enhancements - Embed MP3 in post using flash player

This is somthing I created rather quickly because I wanted somthing small and effective for streaming MP3's in a post. I was searching the net for a nice small MP3 player to embed into a post and I found a nice FREE one over at 1pixelout.net. I did NOT create the player, I only created the BB code for this hack.

This takes about 2 minutes to prepare and get working.

Follow these steps

1. Download the Audio Player here http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-...ugin/#examples

2. Unzip and upload the files for the player to your host.

3. Add new BB code with the following information

Title: FlashPlayer

Tag: mp3

Replacement:

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.yourhost.com.com/audio/audio-player.js"></script>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.yourhost.com/audio/player.swf" id="audioplayer4" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.yourhost.com/audio/player.swf">
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=4&amp;soundFile={param}">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>

Keep in mind this replacement code must match the location where you uploaded the audio player on your host.

Example: [mp3]http://www.hd-trailers.org/song.mp3[/mp3] *"http://" must be added for this to work properly.

Use Option: No

Button Image: See attachment

How to use: Simply find a link to an mp3 file and wrap the tags around it! That's it!


BE SURE TO CLICK INSTALLED

Great mod. I would like a little bit help though.
I want to embed the mp3 using the [attach]xxx[/attach] tag so the users can only see the player and not the attach link.

I know that in our times it is hard to prevent the downloading, but it is exactly what I want.

Let me be more specific.
1. The user Create New Thread/post
2. The user upload the mp3 attachment. (now the url of the attachment is something like this:

http://mysite.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=xxxxx&d=xxxxxxxxxxxxx

3. The user uses copy/paste and paste the above url inside his post.
Then he select the url he just pasted and press the mp3 bbcode button.
The result is this:

[mp3]http://mysite.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=xxxxx&d=xxxxxxxxxxxxx[/mp3]

I want the user to be able to follow the above if he want to "share for downloading" his mp3. Ok until now, everything is working great. The player appears and below it is the link to download the file.

If the user want just to put it in the post for other user to hear it only with the player, then, like in the [attach]XXXX[/attach] method, the attachment is placed between the text and the url in the end of the post disappears...!!! Thats what I want. I want a bbcode to be able to play the mp3 attachment using the below bbcode so the mp3 link "disappear" and only the flash player is available.
Here is what I want:

[mp3][attach]XXXXX[/attach][/mp3]

Could you help me with that?
How can I do it?

This is an interesting idea, I'd use that too. :up:

OK folks.

I couldn't make this (or anything similar) work for the life of me. Then I had an epiphany.

Having already installed MP3 Player in Profile, the 1pixelout flash player already existed on my server! Therefore, for whatever reason, calling the new one wouldn't work.

So I simply changed all of the file paths in the replacement code to that of my existing player. VOILA!

I removed the duplicate player from my server, and I'm pleased as punch.

Hope this helps somebody out.

It works with the latest 2.0, just download from http://wpaudioplayer.com and replace the old files =)

And it is possible to have more then 1 player =) no options or anything needed.. just

[mp3]http://test.net/mp3/test1.mp3[/mp3]
[mp3]http://test.net/mp3/test2.mp3[/mp3]

I can only get one song to work at a time, and that's by adding the link to that song within the BB code.

I needed to show two songs, so I had to make a new BB code, the same as the first, but with a different url within the BB code.

It has worked out great on Internet Explorer, but on FireFox the songs get ruined and distorted. Anyone else experiencing this? Thank you.
