^They can, just not firefox users. Is their a way to get this to work for firefox users? Thanks.

Really cool hack and great idea.

Don't know why people say its bad, adding music to your site is highly suggested of all sites in a business magazine I read. It adds more to the ambience of the experience. The ability to turn it on and off is key of course, and probably want autoplay off.

I'm like someone else though, I need Firefox compatibility before I install.

From what I can see, the following block is the code that plays the music in background.

$zhmusicara = '<!-- /content area table -->';
$vbulletin->templatecache['footer'] = str_replace($zhmusicara,$zhmusicara.fetch_template('zh_music'),$vbulletin->templatecache['footer']);

If I remove <!-- /content area table --> from that, would I bee able to insert $zhmusicara and put a conditional so it only plays in certain pages (like private.php, search.php etc...) and also put various conditionals for specific forums and guest messages.

Thanks.

I have one particular mp3 file that I'd like to have play in the background of my cmps homepage. Is this a good hack for that or is there a better option out there for my needs?

[ArnyVee]

No word on this?

[Shotgunmaniac]

Have it Installed, but doesnt seem to play the .mp3 file i want it to.

*edit*

Now working, but my members have to download quicktime, before they can hear anything.

Is there anyway around this ?

That's simply not true. Some 3.x mods work fine on 4.x, some don't. Usually if a new template is needed or edited they won't work on 4.x- plenty of others that are just PHP based have no issues.
