*IMPORTANT: About version 3.6!!*

[high]External Data Pull[/high]
This modification is designed to pull data from internal and external servers. Check that you enter full urls to pull external data or the modification will fail to read.

[high]Features:[/high]

• Can hold upto 500 mp3 tracks (5 playlists with 100 tracks in each)
• Automatically cuts off access to playlists if 100 tracks are reached
• All track data held in database
• Volume & Pan(balance) Controls
• Add mp3's through AdminCP or via Popup
• PM system notifcation of new tracks submitted
• Edit/Delete/Approve/Deny tracks via AdminCP
• Usergroup Permissions for adding tracks and viewing of player
• Multi-functional display on mp3 player
• WOL Enabled - see who's using the mp3 player
• Stream and Buffer parameters per track
• Track pre-loading on display

This version is not compatible with the XML driven vbMp3 Player I released awhile ago (you may uninstall or leave in, as this version uses renamed files). The player, and all code have been changed, and now fully utilizes the vBulletin AdminCP for settings, mp3 playlist management, usergroup permissions.

[high]Known Issues:[/high]
None

UPDATING:
Overwrite all files with the new package XEON Mp3 Player v4.0.0
Import the Product XML file using the vBulletin Product Manager. Go to Mp3 Player Management and update settings and Save.

Template edit:
(required on new install or upgrade, unless you have installed other products from us.).
In the headinclude template -
Find:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>

Above add:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/flashobject.js"></script>

If this line of code already exists then DO NOT ADD IT!

End of Update


MAIN INSTALLATION

Installation:
Upload the contents of the ?Upload folder? to your forum root. Import the ?product-mp3player.xml? file via ?Plugins & Products? ? Manage Products ? Import Product in your AdminCP. Press F5 or refresh your browser window to view the Mp3 Player Management menu. Once you install this version make sure you Update the MP3 Management settings and click SAVE, failure to do so will result in an error if you enable the custom PM notification system.

Template Edits:
These edits are based on the default vBulletin style, you may need to change if you have a custom style.


AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar

Find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

After add:

<!-- Mp3 Player Launch -->
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="javascript:NewWindow=window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup','newWin','width=500,height=500,left=0,top=0, toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=1,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
NewWindow.focus(); void(0);">vbMp3 Player</a></td>
</if>
<!-- End Mp3 Player Launch -->

Now, navigate to AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager ? adjust usergroups permissions as required. Default is all usergroups have no access.

You now have the vbMp3 XEON player installed!

[high]Update notifications can only be sent out if you have clicked 'INSTALL'.[/high]

More players will available shortly.

Enjoy!

This is a debugging line that has been left in to make fault finding in the code easier.

Check you have the following js call in the headinclude template:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/flashobject.js"></script>

The instructions also indicate this template edit which some people over look.

Regards.

This is one of the best mods of all time for me. Congratulations on a successful development.

Thank you, syrus... Just installed w/o any problem on 3.7.3 Patch level1. I think this is the best hack I've installed thus far. THANK YOU SO MUCH.... My members now can enjoy listening to music while browsing around the forum.

I registered but it says I don't have permission to read. Could you please post the content here?

[syrus.xl]

Here's the content of that article...

With all correctly coded embedding of flash files, we use javascript to embed the file within a page, this is done to make the product cross-browser compatible. The old HTML embed code will still work these days, but will give you a popup in Internet Explorer stating 'Click to Activate', which is annoying, therefore we use javascript to workaround this issue.

This error will normally appear if the flashobject.js call is missing from the headinclude template.Always check this first, if you have already done this edit then check the path to the flashobject.js file is correct and that the file is available.

Template Edit:
AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Default Style -> Edit Templates

In the headinclude template
FIND:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v="></script>

Above add this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/flashobject.js"></script>

This edit should only appear once, since all products on a page will use different id tags but will all use the flashobject.js file.

If this does not fix your problem then enter the full url to the flashobject.js file. This maybe required if your vBulletin is not installed inside a sub-directory. An example is shown below, substitute your own own domain for the example one shown.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/clientscript/flashobject.js"></script>

If this does not rectify the problem, then remove the line of code completely, and insert it just above the flash embed coding, this will work, but may cause issues if you install further products developed by us.
