[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!

*clicks install*

I will be releasing a similar modification that uses the same technology that YouTube and Google utilize. Also compatible with with a few other sites like blip.tv etc. However, this will probably be a commercial modification.

I installed it and it os on the tool bar. when you click it you get a pop up with this message:

The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

What did I do wrong?

There shouldn't be a page not found error on the popup, it uses a custom vbulletin template to display the player. I'm currently updating the product XML file for a few database errors, but none are related to the popup.

This was not an issue, do you have javascript enabled?

[revmitchell]

Apparently I dont. when I tried to install it in a mod box this is the error that appeared.

Warning!!! To view this vbMp3 Player please enable JavaScript and Flash!

But I am new to this how do you do that?

But I am so knew to this that I know just enough to mes it up I do not know how to do that.

That message is built-in to the coding of the popup window to display the player, its a message so troubleshooting can be done easier. It will only show if any of the following conditions are not met:

• The player swf file is not in the root of your forum.
• The flashobject.js file is missing from you forum root directory.
• You don't have the latest version of Flash installed in your browser.

If you do not have flash installed or up-to-date then you will need to visit Adobe to get the latest version for your browser, to display a flash object embedded in a page. You can get it from here.

HTH.

[revmitchell]

The player swf file is not in the root of your forum.
The flashobject.js file is missing from you forum root directory.

Is there a difference between being in the root of your forum and missing from your root directory?

It depends on how you have your actual website setup.

A website root would be:
www.yourdomain.com

However, if you created your forums in a sub-directory like this:
www.youdomainl.com/forum

Then you would place the player swf and flashobject.js files in the forum folder. The installer assumes you have placed these files inside the forum directory in order to function with the playlist PHP file and the main popup code.

[revmitchell]

I understand that. I have it placed in www.website.com/vb

But do i need to place it in any sub folders of vb? or just in the main part of the vb folder?

And is there a yahoo tool bar associated with the download of this mod?

[revmitchell]

I deleted the other down load so as not to take up space on my hard drive and in downloading the file again my norton antivirus blocks the php. file. any thoughts. Lists it as high risk.
