My thanks to Link for his one on one time in building the install files for the VB Jukebox

General Features

* The ability to play audio and movie formats - The script will detect both .mpg or .mpeg files and open the media player. If an audio format is played then the media player will stay invisable.

* Manual data entery for when the uploader fails or for large files.
* At a click will automaticly generate a new thread announcing a song in the jukebox.

* Usergroup permissions for:

Front End Features

*Members can upload songs, these songs are not available in the jukebox until admin aproval (optional email notification available).
* Callapsable genres (only displays genres that have active songs in them).
* Members can rate songs.

Future Possible Functions

* members favs, this will allow members to add songs to their own favs list and if i can work it out i will try to make it so they can play their favs from start to finish.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOTE SONG HOSTING

OPTION 1

In the admin options where it asks for the folder name enter the full path to the where the songs are stored eg "www.something.com/music folder" NO backslash after.
The Downside to this is that your members canrt upload or add songs to the jukebox and movie files will not work.

OPTION 2
In vb_jukebox.php find each instance of

PHP Code:

$playsong = "$vboptions[jb_media_folder]/$playthisong 


replace with

PHP Code:

$playsong = "$playthisong" 


Then enter the full url into the song file field for each song.

Man sometimes I am really thick in the head! My problem with running the installer was I was clicking on the "Generate Files" check box. By reading the description I thought it had to be checked in order for the install to work. I'll let you in on a little secret, the installer saves a LOT of work.
Any way, it works now and the install button shall be clicked. It's a great hack and obviously a lot of work went into developing it. Thanks for your help Trafix. It was greatly appreciated, especially when I see a lot of hacks that have problems and the developer just seems to disapear. You have taken a lot of time to modify the code to what others want and have spent a good deal of effort in helping people get the hack working.
Kudos to ya!

thanks for adding "option 2" to the remote song hosting in the instructions... I hate to be a pain but is it possible to make it a conditional, or separate option to allow both hosted and remote files, instead of either/or? Maybe 2 input boxes in the ACP- one for remote URL's, and one for the file path to the Server?

[trafix]

Hehe ... well at least you got it working .... tnx for your comments

This jukebox is in freeplay mode for members and guests.

The most played song is: Dj Lahasa giulia with 0 request(s).
Please Note: Clicking on Top 10 may stop the song from playing.
View Top 10

To hear the song of your choice, click on its name.
Please continue surfing our site in the other browser. Enjoy!

You are not permitted to listen to the Jukebox.
Please ask about upgrading your membership.

I'm logged in as Admin:P

another thing in settings i got folder midi what's the proper location on my server forum is in www/forum/ ??? :devious:

[trafix]

ok for permissions you have to go to the usergroup menu and select the manager .... then edit each group acordingly, the jukebox permissions are at the bottom of the page.

yep ... forum/media ..... or whatever you want to call it

[Blam Forumz]

hmmm anyway of adding multiple songs at once?

Check it out now... added a login feature.. prompting you to register if your not a member, once your a member and logged in, it gives you info on the Jukebox.. whats playing, top 10, etc..

If I clean up the code and put a little work into it, I'm going to release it as a add on for the jukebox.. any good names you got for it? like the hot box for the juke box, LOL or some thing ?

OH and do songs uploaded goto the Media Folder you have set in vb_jukebox under vb options? if so, upload aint working for me, I have the path set with the exact URL "http://path" is that correct?
