Thanks Dan, I was confused over it because it sounded like a nice hack that allowed someone to actually hear a song being played.



I take it there is nothing like this out there then....

i realised theres no point to have it on editpost coz it could interfear with the now playing thats already in the post

and it makes sense that u actually have a now playing at the time u made the post

the only way it could work is if the now playing only appeared in editpost if the post didn't have a now playing already

Nice piece of work.

I'd also modify the quick reply HTML and JavaScript so that the input field is disabled if threading messages until a message is selected. Like so:

Edit the showthread_quickreply template by adding a new attribute to the text input field.

Find:

<td><input type="text" class="bginput" style="width:600px;" name="nowplaying" value="$post[nowplaying]" size="50" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td>

Replace with:

<td><input type="text" class="bginput" style="width:600px;" name="nowplaying" id="qr_nowplaying" value="$post[nowplaying]" size="50" maxlength="85" tabindex="1" /></td>

Edit clientscript/vbulletin_quickreply.js as follows:

Find:

if (WYSIWYG != 2)
  {
    fetch_object("qr_message").disabled = true; // message textarea
    fetch_object("qr_message").value = must_click_message; // message textbox

Below that, add:

fetch_object("qr_nowplaying").disabled = true; // nowplaying text

Find:

fetch_object("qr_message").value = "";

Below that, add:

fetch_object("qr_nowplaying").disabled = false;

Programs? this isn't a program sorry its a php hack which has no actual tie in to the actual software of the user besides IE.
