Currently Now Playing · **Released**: 11-09-2004

EDIT 11/14: Redownload the zip and upload the new nowplaying.php.

This hack allows users using Winamp with the DoSomething plugin to have a "Now Playing" line underneath their posts showing what they are currently playing. See the screenshot for how this looks.

To install, upload all files to your forums directory, run hack_install.php, select "Currently Now Playing" and follow through the install.

Even though this is shown in the installer, I'm putting this here as well. The hack and the screen is attached, so enjoy.

Quote:

For this hack to be useful, you need to provide instructions for your users to take advantage of this hack.

First, your users must be running Winamp 2.x or 5.x. They may get the latest version at winamp.com. They must also be running the DoSomething plugin. Your users may get the latest version from here.

Now, instruct your users to right click in Winamp and go to Options -> Preferences. Then under Plugins, go to General Purpose. Double click on "DoSomething Plugin". Uncheck "Disable Plugin".

Under Actions, select "Submit a URL". Have them input "http://www.yoursite.com/forums/nowplaying.php?username=username&password=password&song=%%URL_CURRENTSONG%%" where username is their username and password is their password.

Tell them to leave "URL Result File" blank, as it is not needed. Now, click "Add -->" then "OK". Next, they must close Winamp. This is important so that the settings will be properly saved. Now, open Winamp up and play a song. If it adds "Now Playing" underneath their posts, they have done it correctly.

Now, run the rest of this installer and enjoy the hack. (Make sure you don't forget to do the template and the file modification)

If you use this hack, don't forget to click

Yeah, that is how it should be.

Hmm, doesnt work >_<

Link14716 · #14 11-10-2004, 05:00 AM

Well, did you do the template (and file) edits?

Blam Forumz · #15 11-10-2004, 05:02 AM

Yes indeed I did ><

Link14716 · #16 11-10-2004, 05:08 AM

Where it said edit postbit, did you actually edit postbit, or did you edit postbit_legacy? Looking at your board, you are using postbit_legacy.

Back in my day, we had to deal with only 1 postbit.

Blam Forumz · #17 11-10-2004, 05:14 AM

Yeah I did edit postbit_legacy, always do :/

Ok wait heres myu problem, I looked at the file (I did the template mod wrong)

I alter it so its correct : but i get this :

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ']' in /home/*******/public_html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3055) : eval()'d code on line 252

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Actually, now that I put in the right username: http://www.blaminator.co.uk/forum/sh...0&postcount=19

It's working fine on your board.

Blam Forumz · #20 11-10-2004, 05:23 AM

Ok ok sorry about that little error, that was my fault :/

I've done the modification 100% But it still wont work

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