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.

just enter the full URL with no final backslash via the ACP, it should work.

I want to post a poll on my site to see if my member base would like this on the site. Would it be ok for me to post your screen shots (of the user side) in the body of the post?

I know it's not quite the same thing as version 1. I think what he is referring to is when you specify the folder, instead of "midi" as per the instructions you can enter a remote server to upload to (example: h*tp://anothersite.com/songs). This does not support the adding of songs via URL, as in version 1, and for that reason I prefer version 1 at this point since I prefer not to host any of the songs, so these are really 2 different hacks in that sense.

Hi

Ok i am trying link to an external source for the music, however nothing i do works for example in the options i leave it blank for where the folder is and in the add track i enter the full path but it just just keeps linking to for example:

h**p://www.mysite.com/forum//www.othersite.com/mike/AheadOfTheGame.mp3

No matter what i do i can not get it to link to an off site link.

Please help.

Kirk

[trafix]

in the options "folder" put

h**p://www.othersite.com/mike

and just the file name the song filename

[NuclioN]

Now i'm confused to. I can't find the field where members can put an url.

[mekro]

Hi

Thaks for the response but that does not help i did as you said and did the following:

In the jukebox options under the vbulletin options i placed the following link in the folder box: h**p://www.othersite.com/mike

Then in the add a song section i just placed the song name: AheadOfTheGame.mp3

Now the link looks like this: http://mysite.com/forum/http://www.g...dOfTheGame.mp3

Any help please as it keeps adding the http://mysite.com/forum/ part to the beginning of every song.

Thanks
Kirk
