For Usergroup permissions!

You could try the following:


Open RADIOSTATIONS template and at the very top add:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6,2,5,7)">

At the very bottom (below </html>) add:

<else />
Whatever content you want here. You can add vB's Standard error message or a login box or whatever.
</if>

In the example the following Usergroups with permission include: Admin, Super Mods, Mods and registered users. Any other Usergroups that were not specified in the conditional will see the custom content. Hope this helps.

Anyway, excellent mod, Dream. :up:

I second this. Is there any future plans for this? I really hate WMP and flash is kind of more supported than WMP (as for OS, Browsers and such).

I could also give a list of great flash players if its needed.

Thanks!

I'm curious as to why the visualization isn't appearing in other browsers. Namely the widely popular FF.

I have looked here:

At first assuming that my own browser needs the plug in for WMP. Which is debateable but unlikely since there test links worked for me.

Then looked at there plug ins page:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:7

Which doesn't list one, but instead the program. Which at this point I'm thinking its the coding or scripting of the actual Mod.

---------------------------------------

In short I'd like to offer my members the same things that other members have, and it doesn't really make sense as to why the visualization of the player works on IE 7 but not on FF.

Is there a bug in the Mod, or is this an issue of browser plug in or browser settings?

I have Winamp, Windows MP 11, and Real Player on my system.

This mod works in FF 2 for me.

Working and showing visualisation are two different things. It seems the only browser its designed for is IE.

I checked again after an uninstall and reinstall of FF 2.0.0.6 and it didn't show visualization.

Also the coder of my site lives in a dif time zone and he uses the same FF version and it didn't show visuals for him either.

-----------------------------

What's odd is that when you open it, it will open the visual box, but the moment it loads the song or radio, it auto-closes it and shrinks it to a mini-bar with no visualization.

If it works for you, what is the plug in or script change to make it show visual in FF?

[Dream]

Oh, I think visualization wasn't implemented on the WMP plugin for the rest of the browsers that aren't IE.

IYO, is this something we can modify in the script of the mod.

Is this something in the WMP plugin that none of us can modify?

[Dream]

Visualization option is set to "true" on the mod (you can check out RADIOSTATIONS_PLAYER template). I played some with this and couldn't make it work with FF, and decided this was a problem with the WMP plugin itself.

Ahh.

There are no plans to remove WMP, but you can change the RADIOSTATIONS_PLAYER template to use a flash player instead.
