Add-On Releases - XEON Mp3 Player in vBadvanced Center Block

Adding the XEON Mp3 Player to vBadvanced CMPS


Center Block Only CMPS Installation

Coded by Syrus XL Media
Digital Port UK

Addon for the XEON Mp3 Player (vBulletin Integration version)

These instructions are based on vBulletin 3.6.2 and using CMPS 2.2.x

The template code uses the flashobject.js to call the xeon flash player, this fixes the issue with view the player in Internet Explorer 6.0 and above. There is some text in the code ?Warning!!! To view this XEON Player please enable JavaScript and Flash! ?, this will only display if a person views your site with javascript and flash disabled. You can change this line of text to what you would like to display to your visitors. The flashobject.js file will detect if the person has javascript and flash enabled, and will either display the text or the Xeon player automatically.

[high]Note:[/high] These instructions assume you have installed the vBa CMPS in the Forum root. If you have installed outside the forum root, then the calls to the flashobject.js and the xeon.swf file will need updated relative paths.

[high]Color Matching the background:[/high] You will see in the code a HEX value '#666666' this parameter determines the background color of the player. Change this to another value, if you require an alternative color background. Ideal program for color capture in HEX and RGB values is Color Cop (do a search on Google), this is a free little utility.

By default, both of these should be both enabled. Usually, this error happens if you have not installed the modification correctly. Check you have uploaded the javascript file 'flashobject.js' - this file is used to write the correct embed tag code, if its missing you will receive this error.

I assume from the error message you do not have the vBa CMPS installed in the forum 'ROOT'. This is why this message will appear, since it uses a relative path to find the flashobject.js and swf files.

The easiest way around this issue is to change this line:

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

to this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/forum_name/flashobject.js"></script>

And also this line:

var fo = new FlashObject("xeon_mp3_beta.swf", "xeon_player", "450", "400", "8,0,0,0", "#f7f8fa");

to this:

var fo = new FlashObject("http://www.mydomain.com/forum_name/xeon_mp3_beta.swf", "xeon_player", "450", "400", "8,0,0,0", "#f7f8fa");

Now both lines are absolute urls and should cause no problems.

That work but the problem is my playlists are not on the radio. what I did was I replaced ]<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mydomain.com/forum_name/flashobject.js"></script] to the name of my the name of my domain which is greekrealm.com/forum/flash ect... I removed the _name after forum that is the only way it showed up. But like I said no playlists...

Have you got guests viewing permissions set to on? Otherwise I'll need to check by using a test account.
