* At a click will automaticly generate a new thread announcing a song in the jukebox.

* Usergroup permissions for:

--> 3) Who can rate songs.

Front End Features

*Members can upload songs, these songs are not available in the jukebox until admin aproval (optional email notification available).
* Callapsable genres (only displays genres that have active songs in them).
* Members can rate songs.

Future Possible Functions

* members favs, this will allow members to add songs to their own favs list and if i can work it out i will try to make it so they can play their favs from start to finish.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOTE SONG HOSTING

OPTION 1

In the admin options where it asks for the folder name enter the full path to the where the songs are stored eg "www.something.com/music folder" NO backslash after.
The Downside to this is that your members canrt upload or add songs to the jukebox and movie files will not work.

OPTION 2
In vb_jukebox.php find each instance of

PHP Code:

$playsong = "$vboptions[jb_media_folder]/$playthisong 


replace with

PHP Code:

$playsong = "$playthisong" 


Then enter the full url into the song file field for each song.

hmmmm ... gotta think about that ... the original juke was set up that way but i changed all the code to incorporate the uploader ..... i think i am going to have to find different uploading code if its possible

Tnx trafix, it would be awesome

[trafix]

what size files are you trying to upload with the browser?

[NuclioN]

2 mb+ trafix. I know there is a php limit in uploading so a bypass looks difficult. To handle the amount of data that is uploaded to the server we had in mind to make a weekly top 10 and after that week all ten mp3 files will then be deleted to make place for another ten mp3's.

There is a system called 'Andromeda' that is capable to set a complete dir open and available for streaming mp3 but that's not free.

You rock, installed, working perfectly so far... Did I mention you rock?

[ambrosious]

Ok, when I upload, from the jukebox.php page, where does it go? Can I upload big songs, say 5.0 mb or so?

[ambrosious]

Also, the one song I had in there from the old version is now missing, but it will list in the Top 10 list?

Alternativly
step 1 - you can use your ftp client to upload the songs to the folder.

step 2 - in the admin "add" screen you will see a link that says "Change to manual date entry" select that and enter the info required including the exact filename of the song that you uploaded ....

done

yep ... follow these instructions for large files

where do they go? ... into the folder that you created in the root folder of your forum
