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!

There is a bug in the AdminCP which means even if you save your settings as not to approve new tracks added it doesnt save the setting. If you check the playlists you added these tracks to in the AdminCP, you should see they are not approved, once you approve them they will show.

All these errors will be fixed in the update.

That was the problem, thanks. Can I suggest that the submitter be added in the approve list?

Thats a good idea.. Will look into that, with the full release to take this out of its beta release.

I already have flashobject.js in my root folder ( from The vbFLV Video Player) do I ftp it again or skip it

[haytham]

I did all the instructions but can't see anything in my ADmin CP. The only thing I didn't upload is (flashobject.js ) and if I click on the link in navbar it says I am not allowed to have access to that page...help if u can..thanks

new development: the MP3 settings menu showed up in the Admincp but still the same message ( not allowed to access this page) comes up and when trying to save settings I get (couldn't find phrase 'mp3player_cp_redirect')

The flashobject.js file you will find is common with all my releases, it makes all the flash movies cross-browser compatible.

You will need to import the Product XML file and then Refresh the AdminCP to see the 'MP3 Player Management' in the left side menu.

Also check you have allowed your usergroup access - Usergroups - Edit - Check permissions per usergroup. You should be all set then.

HTH

How stupid I feel...If I had read your instructions carefully I wouldn't have made such a fool of myself...I was missing this (Also check you have allowed your usergroup access - Usergroups - Edit - Check permissions per usergroup)
Sorry..All good..I have also installed your vdo mod...You guys rock

Easily overlooked...

i get this error could not find phrase 'mp3player_cp_redirect' when i try to update

[haytham]

I think this is normal..the coder said this exists
"Known Issues:
Redirect phrase missing in AdminCP.
Approval Setting not holding setting after clicking Update in AdminCP Settings.
Use of quote or double quotes causes database error in AdminCP."

This is listed under 'Known Issue' in the 1st post - it refers to a missing phrase in the AdminCP, it doesn't affect any functionality of the player settings.
