New Posting Features - Now Playing

Installation Instructions
Step 1: Upload the .xml file to the Product Manager

What does this Plugin do?
It let's you and your members display what they are listening to at the time of posting. The user will have to type in what they are listening into the now playing box at posting as there is currently no program that can see what you are listening to at this time.

            <hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
            <!-- / icon and title -->

Replace by :

<!-- icon and title -->
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="60%"><div class="smallfont">
                <if condition="$show['messageicon']"><img class="inlineimg" src="$post[iconpath]" alt="$post[icontitle]" border="0" /></if>
                <if condition="$post['title']"><strong>$post[title]</strong></if>
            </div>
            </td>
    <if condition="$post['nowplaying']"> <td align="right" style="border-left:1px solid" width="40%">

Thanks for this Hack and for your modification. It Look very Nice

Installed

I realize that this is pretty old, hopefully you can help me sort it out.

Somewhere along the line about a year ago my mysql server died in the middle of installing the old version. Since then I've always wanted to get this sucker to work, but I have a handful of problems.

For one, I can't uninstall the old plugin. I believe it's because it's looking for DB tables that don't exist:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.3:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE vb3_post DROP nowplaying;

MySQL Error  : Can't DROP 'nowplaying'; check that column/key exists
Error Number : 1091

If I install this version and allow overwrite, then enable it, I get this DB error:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO vb3_post
	(showsignature, allowsmilie, username, userid, title, pagetext, iconid, visible, nowplaying, dateline, ipaddress, attach, threadid)
VALUES
	(1, 1, 'Chris', 23, 'Sdfasdf', 'sdfsdaf', 0, 1, '', 1178469421, '141.154.30.233', 0, 28381);

MySQL Error  : Unknown column 'nowplaying' in 'field list'

I _think_ what I might need to do is create the missing column manually, then uninstall/reinstall, but I'd love to get confirmation before that.. And the proper mysql syntax to do it.

If you could take a peek at it Dan I'd mucho appreciate it.

It'll add it to the postbit, and yes this hack should still work for all new versions.

[huwer]

Good idea, thank you!

Dear Dan, but no editing, please do editing.

[The Equivocate]

Is it possible for users to update their songs via their UserCP edit profile area too?

[Free-D]
