*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!

Hi Biggles,

There seems to be a problem relating to vbSEO (I have never used this, so I wouldn't know of the issue). All testing is done on 'virgin' vBulletin installs with no addons.

vbSEO is rewriting the popup url and doubling the 'do' url, which is why a 'white page' is showing since the PHP file does not handle the 'do' call twice, only once for any function.

If you have vbSEO and know of a fix, please post your idea.

Thanks.

Sweet thanks

I am having a slight issue installing the plugins for this mod. I keep getting invalid file name error when I attempt to upload it through the plugin manager....any ideas??

[Snake]

syrus, I have a feauture idea on my mind. How about reordering the tracks in each and every playlist because I had like to reorder them to my own liking since the hack does automatically. Could you please add that in the next release?

This is not a 'plug-in'.

You need to import it through the Product Manager -> Manage Products -> Import Product

Awesome hack, works great. Got a bit confused by a blank white page for a long time, before figuring out that, er, I hadn't turned it on. Ahem.

One question that relates to the style of the thing - it looks fantastic, and it's very pretty, but I've got a couple of members who need accessibility considerations due to partial blindness. The colours are a bit hard to distinguish for them. Is it possible to have a skin selector with a more visible style available to people who need higher contrast graphics?

A 'skin' isn't available with this version due to the way it was designed. Skin selectors need to have alot of code redone, since the player would need to be changed to accomodate this feature. The AdminCP would require an upload function to be added, to add new skins.

This feature will be added to the Premium Commercial version, presently in development stages at the moment.

Cool. Thanks for the quick response! :up:
