This hack uses and includes a copy of the [HIS] Hack Installer System (Build 3)
released by Link14716 and can be found here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71542
My thanks to Link for his one on one time in building the install files for the VB Jukebox

General Features

* The ability to play audio and movie formats - The script will detect both .mpg or .mpeg files and open the media player. If an audio format is played then the media player will stay invisable.

Admin Features

* Upload songs from your browser.
* Unlimited genres.
* Manual data entery for when the uploader fails or for large files.
* At a click will automaticly generate a new thread announcing a song in the jukebox.

* Usergroup permissions for:
--> 1) Who can listen to songs.
--> 2) Who can upload songs.
--> 3) Who can rate songs.

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.

I thought I came back and posted what I did to fix this but I don't see that post any longer. I just had to go in and edit the table prefix's. Took a little while to figure out how to do it, and off the top of my head I can't remember what file it was I changed. This was 4 days ago and at about 3am. LOL


thanx for the hack though, my members love this feature.

great stuff ... thats what i like to hear

Ok, thanks for the tip. I'm not seeing the "add" button. Where do I find that? In the admin CP I get the settings you describe in the install file. "Audio Settings, Default Song Title, etc."

Am I doing something wrong?

[trafix]

if you edited the admin file properly you should see a menu block the looks like the others in the left hand side that says "vB Jukebox" if the phrases wernt installed properly it could be blank ..... but unlikley

when you expand the menu block click on where is says "Track list" .... the "Add" button is on that page .... see screen shots

[ambrosious]

I didn't add the admin CP file in, I don't guess, because that whole block is missing from the options on the left. I have to run to work now, will tackle this one as soon as I get home.

THANKS!

THANKS!

How did you get on?

[pelican]

currently it seems that the directory where the songs are stored is publicly accessible if you know the direct url. is it possible to put the songs files above the /public_html/ where it cannot be accessible by typing the usl into the browser but still accessible by vbulletin script ?

[trafix]

I am not sure if this can be done? Perhaps someone else can advise?

First off I hope this is the correct place to post this. If not please do forgive me.
I just installed the VBJukebox and and triple checked everything. I get one problem I don't understand. After I ran the install and it asked if I wanted to sign into my admincp I clisked yes and got this message
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/muleskin/public_html/Board/admincp/index.php on line 552
I guess I need to know what this mesage means and what to do to correct it ? I am going to be looking again while I wait for your response. Thanks kindly for the help. Looks like just what I have been wanting for a long time, never had the courage to add a hack
I am currently testing to add hacks on a closed, non public test board as I had read you are allowed to do. I figure this way if I mess up too bad the forum keeps on working I don't have a large membership but even 300 + emails of " The forum is down !!" gets to be a handful of replies
Thanks again.
Jaye

Well, just went to check the template and now I can't log into my admin cp at all. I just get the above message.

[trafix]
