Fully compatible and tested on vBulletin 3.6.0, 3.7 and up.

No example tracks are included in this version.

*IMPORTANT: About version 3.6!!*
If you have installed this modification prior to the latest version 3.6, it is recommended that you update to the latest version 3.6 immediately. Older versions contain a Security Hole in the admin section. All database errors have been fixed, special thanks to Code Monkey.

[high]External Data Pull[/high]
This modification is designed to pull data from internal and external servers. Check that you enter full urls to pull external data or the modification will fail to read.

[high]Features:[/high]

• Can hold upto 500 mp3 tracks (5 playlists with 100 tracks in each)
• Automatically cuts off access to playlists if 100 tracks are reached
• All track data held in database
• Volume & Pan(balance) Controls
• Add mp3's through AdminCP or via Popup
• PM system notifcation of new tracks submitted
• Edit/Delete/Approve/Deny tracks via AdminCP
• Usergroup Permissions for adding tracks and viewing of player
• Multi-functional display on mp3 player
• WOL Enabled - see who's using the mp3 player
• Stream and Buffer parameters per track
• Track pre-loading on display

This version is not compatible with the XML driven vbMp3 Player I released awhile ago (you may uninstall or leave in, as this version uses renamed files). The player, and all code have been changed, and now fully utilizes the vBulletin AdminCP for settings, mp3 playlist management, usergroup permissions.

[high]Known Issues:[/high]
None

UPDATING:
Overwrite all files with the new package XEON Mp3 Player v4.0.0
Import the Product XML file using the vBulletin Product Manager. Go to Mp3 Player Management and update settings and Save.

Template edit:
(required on new install or upgrade, unless you have installed other products from us.).
In the headinclude template -
Find:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>

Above add:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/flashobject.js"></script>

If this line of code already exists then DO NOT ADD IT!

End of Update


MAIN INSTALLATION

Installation:
Upload the contents of the ?Upload folder? to your forum root. Import the ?product-mp3player.xml? file via ?Plugins & Products? ? Manage Products ? Import Product in your AdminCP. Press F5 or refresh your browser window to view the Mp3 Player Management menu. Once you install this version make sure you Update the MP3 Management settings and click SAVE, failure to do so will result in an error if you enable the custom PM notification system.

Template Edits:
These edits are based on the default vBulletin style, you may need to change if you have a custom style.


AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar

Find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

After add:

<!-- Mp3 Player Launch -->
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="javascript:NewWindow=window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup','newWin','width=500,height=500,left=0,top=0, toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=1,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
NewWindow.focus(); void(0);">vbMp3 Player</a></td>
</if>
<!-- End Mp3 Player Launch -->

Now, navigate to AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager ? adjust usergroups permissions as required. Default is all usergroups have no access.

You now have the vbMp3 XEON player installed!

[high]Update notifications can only be sent out if you have clicked 'INSTALL'.[/high]

More players will available shortly.

Enjoy!

I personally, haven't tried this on vB 3.5.4 - however I am told it works fine. But we will be releasing a 3.5.4 Product XML install file, anyway.

I just try it to 3.5.4 (www.hatnang.com) when you click to Music link drop down menu...It's worked OK ....no problem ....also the language seem better than my 3.6.2 other site.

I know why the language borken up ....because 2 web site I installed 2 difference Vietnamese language version .

Can't wait to buy the new version.

I'm embedding this in a webtemplate using IFRAME, because I really don't like popups, working great so far. Is there a way to remove all of the different playlists and just have one master list? Also, any plans on enabling direct uploads to it, eg from a member's desktop?

Great mod, thanks!

Edit: I'll absolutely pay for a premium version of this hack if I can get the ability for members to upload from their desktops, and the ability to remove the playlists altogether. I run a music site, and my guys will LOVE this.

That file cannot be accessed directly, it must be followed by a function or it will just show a white page. If the player is showing 'undefined' this either refers to no songs available from the playlist or you have not set the Usergroup Permissions correctly.

I don't have a donations button on the here, since I am working on a new modification which is a pure flash donation modification. At the moment, its running a barebones system, but it is fully 'live' you can see it working here.

As you will see, its purely cosmetic created in Flash, but hides all the normal details like email address used, etc. You'll probably notice it says the document is paypal3D.html... - this is something I'm working on - a 3D Check that sends directly to Paypal with username details, etc.

The check is actually 'live' and fully working with Paypal - therefore don't enter an amount and confirm unless you wish to do so.

Eventually this will become a vBulletin addon, at the moment its just a flash based donation system that opens up many other possibilities like shopping carts, etc. Just where it goes!

Hi Chris-777,

Yeah, thats one way of using this, using an iframe as opposed to the popup system. This was only adopted so people could carry on listening to music while surfing your website. The update will probably have a dfferent approach since we are thinking of adding a dropdown menu system with a popup, and an 'Add Tracks' link (multiple track adding).

Now, the big question - as for uploading mp3's from your desktop, this feature maybe incorporated in the paid version, but it will only work if your host supports php.ini override - what we have here is a 'bottle-neck' - am 'upload' feature can be added, but normal PHP restrictions only allow 2Mb of data, unless your host has this setup differently or you can change it using a php.ini file upto a maximum of 50Mb. It will be a feature that I'll add, but it will be 'host' dependent. Other details like bandwidth would also need to be considered.

No urls should be entered in a web url or it will cause problems. You should either delete spaces or replace them with an underscore, which is the correct way of entering urls.
