BB Code Enhancements - Innovative Small MP3 Player BB Code

Innovative Small mp3 Player BB Code

By:

This BB Code will allow users to have a small mp3 player in:

• Posts in the forums
• Signatures i.e. Song of the day/week etc.
• anywhere you can use BB Code Tags

I found this while browsing: http://www.phpbb3bbcodes.com as I have some phpBB boards of my own and was tinkering as usual . It was rather simple to add as a BB Code to VBulletin and did not take much time to make it work in vB via the {param} tags etc!

Credit for the Code goes to phpbb3codes.com and the creator of the .swf player i.e. djgalix!

Time to install: 1-2 mins

Instructions:

• Download the .zip and extract the SWF player
• Upload the player_mp3.swf into your forum root folder
• Add new BB code:

AdminCP --> Custom BB Codes --> Add New BB Code

Title: mp3
Tag: mp3
Replacement:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
        data="player_mp3.swf?mp3={param}" width="200" height="20" />
  <param name="movie" value="player_mp3.swf?mp3={param}" />
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>

Use {option} = NO

*The Player .swf file HAS to be in your forums ROOT folder, this will make it NOT visible in AdminCP as that is another folder i.e. admincp folder BUT it will display FINE in the forums via FireFox and Internet Explorer! (Thanks for the catching that bug where it did not display joh!)

Now use the tags [mp3]Full Song URL Here![/mp3]

*Experienced Users can take the code replacement and hard code into forums where desired!

For some who cannot get the mod to work etc, it is usally the AME mod, a Mod Security enabled on your server per your host OR something in your .htaccess file.

If you have an htaccess file add this to it:

RewriteEngine On 
# Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yoururl.com/.*$ [NC]

Replace the yoururl with your url, note I left the .com so if you are .net or .org change that, also leave the www as-is unless you have something setup like forums.yoursite.com etc etc.

Hope that helps some, and remember to always PM me if I do not reply promptly to your posts.

This is really good thanks so much for it. =]

I did EXACTLY as you instructed and it's not working. I've double checked everything.

The link is working. I uploaded the SWF to the root folder. The BB Code is exactly as you posted.

Yet when I try to post it nothing appears, it's just blank.

Help?

Is this bbcode working well security-wise?

I know it doesn't allow people to link to outside flash files, but is there any way this could be abused when linking to external mp3 files in this fashion?

Just curious...

Good question! It uses a .swf file, so anyone w/ the right program can view that code and any possible security flaws but using an mp3 to gain access via a forum? I have not heard of anything that advanced (or arse backwards either way) that would do anything like that but there's so much out there many of us are cluelessul to I would not doubt it lol... however that lol is in a sad way.

I have been using it and nothing yet but the right person @ the wrong time w/ anything is bad news imo.

Just a single mp3 song on a server, it does not handle playlist to my knowledge but anyone is welcome to tinker w/ the code - if you find a way and present it yourself please give credit to the original site/author like I did in my post
