Embedded media player in post · **Released**: 11-24-2004

This is my first mod for VB, I personally need it on my site because it's focus is MP3's, it may be able to be customized for other uses I would think. What it does is embeds Windows Media Player into the body of the post (as well as the regular attachment) using bbcode and plays the attached MP3 file. What this does upon completing the upload is allows the user to copy and paste the URL to the attached file if they choose.

Also, since this bbcode is the Windows Media Player it may also be able to play .avi, .wmv, .mpg etc. So to broaden this you can change the [MP3] [/MP3] tag to something else like [MEDIA] [/MEDIA] for example.

There is no option to secure this to specific groups, however you can use Princeton's Allow Group to Read Titles / Not Content modification as an alternative.

Better template formatting, also maybe add a javascript function so that a user can click to add the line of code to the post.

If you find this useful please Click Install

Update: Added an option to allow only certain groups to add the option to view/paste the URL in their post.

zoe, this has never been tested outside of 3.0.7 so I can't claim it works with any of the later versions. One thing you can try is to delete the custom bbcode and re-add it again, I've had to do that before.

Hey Ericgtr,
Hope you don't mind if I port it for 3.5 I think I may have a possible solution. I'm working on it this morning.

Sure, help yourself.

Ok,
For all of you that are interested this works for 3.5 with a few minor modifications.
In the newattachmentbit you now change the code to:

Code:

http://www.yoursite.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=$attach[attachmentid][/MP3]

Please make sure you've followed each detail of the instructions. It's hard to tell from that description but you will want to make sure that your template changes were applied.

Right, that's the one. You applied the bbcode and it shows up right in the admin CP after you added it?

yes bbcode shows up in admin.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
