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.

If anyone get's it to do such then please post and I'll hug you even

I know there are mods on here for actual players but I wanted something slim and found it so I gave details on how-to for vb!

You could get around this but you would need to change the flashvar upon each mp3 loading, which would require a dynamic playlist, either flash based or PHP. I normally add a flash based playlist unless I require a flashvar version, which is normally associated with a single page load.

Thanks!

Some players will play an .m3u stream, but you need to alter the main url, so that the flash player will be forced to thinking it is playing a .mp3 file. Flash mp3 players are normally designed to play just mp3's, unless designed specifically to play streams only - some players will do both, but it depends on how the author has coded the player.

Thanks for your post!

If you can/have time to DL and see about altering the code I'll let you re-release the mod in your name as I believe that would be a big hit... only thing is to everyone there are other mp3 players w/ playlist on here but not a quick and simple one like I found and showed you all so remember the saying... beggers can't be choosers eh?

Let me know Syrus.xl if you can and I appreciate regardless.

I was thinking of re-designing the mp3 player, they are quite easy to design and code, with an optional flashvar controlling the player to accept a playlist or play just a single track. Injecting flashvars in to a flash file is quite easy, and allows quite a lot of control.

We could have '&playlist=1' to activate it within a parameter field, or if set to '0' to play just a single mp3. Streaming radio is quite easy, it's basically just an adjustment to the input url. I designed a SHOUTcast flash player a few days ago, but not released it yet - I need to tidy up the code a bit and write the docs (the part I dread! lol).

Shoutcast? Hmm interesting... pm me when you release it please and feel free to redesign the player and if so then lots of pretend hugs eh?

I have had a few members ask about a playlist w/ this MP3 player... nope, not yet but I did edit this mod's first post/description w/ a link to one released by Macc!

See if it's to your liking!

I have installed and working I really like it. I run a ringtone site and want users to preview the song before download the ringtone. What I want is when a user uploads the ringtone it then gives them the option to have the player added or auto does this when ever a .mp3 is uploaded onto the site? Is this possible for this?

Send me a PM and specify more what you mean! I can do a lot of things but it depends on how your forums are currently setup and what version your running, get back to me via PM and we'll discuss if what your looking for is possible.

Ahh so you mean after you entered it and saved the BB code in admincp it does not show the player when viewing your custom BB codes??

IF that is the case then think about it ....

You uploaded the players .swf file to your forum root right? (you should have so say yes lol) and that means it is ONLY in the root not the folder named admincp eh so it is NOT viewable via admincp, simply go to a private forum or admin only forum and enter in the BB code w/ a valid url and you'll see it works IF again, that was the case.

Edit: Ohh and if anyone sees this edit in the future... you do not have to wait that long for a reply as I simply forget to check up on things sometimes so send me a PM for a quicker answer.
