No example tracks are included in this version.

*IMPORTANT: About version 3.6!!*

[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!

[high]Update notifications can only be sent out if you have clicked 'INSTALL'.[/high]

More players will available shortly.

Enjoy!

The popup code is in the first post. Just a piece of javascript calling a custom template. This will be changing over the next few days to use a dropdown menu, all is explained in the first post.

Hi Bandare,

Yeah, that was the code I was referring too.

Placing a link in a post, would require HTML to be enabled in the forum, since it requires the navbar code to be changed.

If you need to know the code let me know.

Another Admin installed this and didn't Update first, I tried to uninstall it(after telling him to read the instructions first or don't do it) and reinstalled it. It still won't update now, still gives the redirect error.

Any way to fix this?

Uninstall the product from Products & Plugins first, then you will need to edit the database using phpMyAdmin and 'Drop' the mp3player settings table. This is the only table left after doing the Product uninstall, so all previous settings will be deleted.

This will clear all the modfication from the system. So, by doing a fresh install you will need to first 'Update' the settings in Mp3 Player Management. If you don't update first then then error cache is not cleared, which causes the error.

Hope that helps!

I uninstalled it, dropped the table mp3player settings.
logged out
logged back in
reinstalled the product
update the settings after refresh
still get the redirect error.

any ideas?

[syrus.xl]

Do you mean the 'mp3player_cp_redirect' once settings are saved? This is not an error, its listed under 'Known Issues' and refers to a missing phrase. I will be updating the package in a few days and this missing phrase will be added.

It will still function correctly, its just vbulletin stating that a phrase is missing, not defined.

If that's what you are referring too?

Can you answer when u get a chance syrius. thanks.

[Spermy]

Yes, but it isn't saving any of the mp3 urls I add.

I open the player and there isn't any songs
I will try again, step by step, maybe I missed something.

[Spermy]

I needed to approve it. Damn I'm dumb.

Thx for the help
