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
*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!

Oh well!
Ahh HostGator, I bet it's the mod securities they have enabled on your server, if you have had other problems (specifically with vBa CMPS or vBa Links etc) then you must have them disable the mod securities. This mod also will not work if you have DJ's AME Mod installed.
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.
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.
Hey hey hey lol, no problem... I did the same thing a while back w/ another BB code and was like wtf for 5 mins until the lightbulb went off ... my real name is Mike and I call anything like that a "Mike Moment"
i need help can someone help me i cant install this on my site i have version 3.8
Not to sound like a smart-arse BUT did you at least try? I mean it is a simple BB Code, if your not too good yet w/ vB you should have PM'd me
Follow the instructions, Add a new BB Code via admincp --> BB Code Manager, you'll see the areas as listed in the install. If unsure just save & test but remember you must post to view the player and it must be a url w/ .mp3 in the address
Ok I seriously don't know what I am doing wrong here.
I added the player to my forums root. I added the BB Code perfectly as per your instructions. I made a folder, uploaded a couple of songs, pointed to the URL, and nothing shows up in the post. If I put the URL in my browser, I can hear and see the song... just not in a post. Grrr. Frustrated. I'm using Firefox, tried also in Safari and it didn't work. What the heck could I be doing wrong?
ETA: Strange... the player shows up if I leave out the http:// but plays nothing. When the full url is put in, no player shows up.
help me out where i can find a root folder , any one can help me ? = S
No problem, what anyone says by ROOT is the MAIN folder, so if your forums are installed in your FTP in the main folder for your website it will need to be placed there i.e.
please help me if you can do this for me this would be great and also do you mean on the server asi do not have access to my server my host never gave me access
