Template Edits
.............................

Step #1
(Edit template based on the version you installed, default or custom-color)

Edit template memberinfo_block_mixpod

• Change two occurrences of "fieldX" to actual field number you noted (eg. field50)
• Customize green highlighted color variables to match the colors of your forum
  • If you install the custom color version, you can skip this step
    

Default Version:

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldx]">
<div id="mixpod" class="tborder content_block">
    <h4 class="thead block_title">
        <a href="#top" class="collapse_gadget" onclick="return toggle_collapse('mixpod')"><img id="collapseimg_mixpod" src="images/buttons/collapse_generic.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
        <a name="albums"></a>
        <span class="block_name">My MixPod Playlist</span>
    </h4>
    <div class="block_content" id="collapseobj_mixpod" style="">    
    <div class="alt2" align="center">
    <embed src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/mp3/mixpod.swf?myid=$userinfo[fieldx]" quality="high" wmode="window" bgcolor="ffffff" flashvars="mycolor=4d528c&mycolor2=f2a0f9&mycolor3=ffffff&autoplay=false&rand=1&f=4&vol=100&pat=1&grad=true" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" border="0" style="visibility:visible;width:100%;height:300px;"></embed>
    </div>
    </div>
</div>
</if>

Custom-Color Version:

Edit template memberinfo_block_mixpod

• Change six occurrences of "fieldX" to actual field number you noted for all 5 user profile fields you created (eg. field50)

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldX]">
    <div id="mixpod" class="tborder content_block">
        <h4 class="thead block_title">
            <a href="#top" class="collapse_gadget" onclick="return toggle_collapse('mixpod')"><img id="collapseimg_mixpod" src="images/buttons/collapse_generic.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
            <a name="albums"></a>
            <span class="block_name">My MixPod Playlist</span>
        </h4>
        <div class="block_content" id="collapseobj_mixpod" style="">    
        <div class="alt2" align="center">
        <embed src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/mp3/mixpod.swf?myid=$userinfo[fieldX]" quality="high" wmode="window" bgcolor=$userinfo[fieldX] flashvars="mycolor=$userinfo[fieldX]&mycolor2=$userinfo[fieldX]&mycolor3=$userinfo[fieldX]&autoplay=true&rand=1&f=4&vol=100&pat=1&grad=true" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" border="0" style="visibility:visible;width:100%;height:300px;"></embed>
        </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</if>

Step #2
Edit template MEMBERINFO and search for

$blocks[groups]
$blocks[visitors]

Put $blocks[mixpod] underneath anyone of those lines. Example:

$blocks[groups]
$blocks[mixpod]
$blocks[visitors]

Your members will now go to their control panel's Edit Details area to fill in their playlist ID. See screenshot for example.

Thanks so much I would love to see your random tips mod on here

[Oblivion Knight]

Thanks, this is great!

A little info on how to change the player colours wouldn't hurt for the less knowledgable though..
I figured it out, and it's matching my skin perfectly.

If you read carefully, you'd see that was right there in the my OP in green letters.

Customize green highlighted color variables to match the colors of your forum

If you don't know how to change hue colors by now, Google is a click away after all.

[Oblivion Knight]

Ah yes, my apologies - didn't see that.

I just saw the fieldx instruction with it highlighted in the code, and thought "oh, I know that.." - and must have skipped the second instruction..

[stangger5]

This just about looks like someone else`s code...All but for the embed code....hhmmm

Did you come up with this your self ??

The player in my profile is now only searching ?
It will not show or play my playlist anymore, what is happening ?

[Chadi]

That's caused by their end, it has absolutely nothing to do with the mod. They're servers are probably overloaded.
