[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

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!

hey can we have it`s cmps ????

[syrus.xl]

I'll release that addon once I've done a job I'm currently working on.

There are some annoying bugs with it... some songs wont play at all or play slow and once a song ends, it sometimes gets stuck on one of those non-playing songs.

Also, that code yeh gave me doesnt work too well displaying on the navbar:

www.chasm-online.com

But its still a nice player ^.^

I like the style of the player but it kind of defeats the purpose when it opens in a cheezy browser window doesn't it?

If you noticed this modification was released as a 'beta' version, therefore its subject to change with peoples comments taken into consideration.

I was working on a 'flash' float window... however, this would auto-shut on a page change. A popup is difficult to match the vBulletin style, is becoming harder to achieve, since most new browsers have the url showing. Normally, this could be stopped using js - but with IE 7 and Opera 9 it still shows.

The popup template is changing, all it will show is the actual player and nothing else.

Probably, have something new soon... and all 'bugs' fixed.

Yeah no sweat. It is still a fine product and you are to be congratulated.

Cheers

Hi,

What does 'And so that it runs all by itself ????' mean? Are you referring to a version of the player that will autoStart upon page load?

If thats the case, then I would need to re-code and compile a new version of the player itself, because that function can only be controlled by flash not PHP coding.

[radarhunter]

but can`t we put some kind of code by which it can be added as shoutcast in the forum base ????

and it`s all upto people to stop it or

jus` like you have it on your site.....

Sorry for the last post, you cant see mp3 player unless you are logged in, but what it looks like is the button is out of place. It has a weird border around the edges that seperate the button from the rest of the navbar a little. Is there a way to fix that or is that just part of the javascript coding?
