New Posting Features - Tigur MP3/Media Player Post Integration - Integrate MP3/FLV Player into Post

Description
This mod integrates the JW MediaPlayer into a users post. I initially made it because I wanted someone to make something that my users can start playing their mp3s into the post automatically (Music forum where people post their own mixed/made legal music).

Install

Step 1. Download the free JW MediaPlayer From http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_Media_Player (Licence fee if for profit - NOTE this is NOT my player I did not make it, I was recommended it by someone else!).

Step 2. Unzip and upload content to root (http://www.mywebsite.com/) then rename main folder to "mediaplayer"

Step 3. Install Product from Product Manager

Step 4. Uploaded attached image to image to /forums/images/editor/



Troubleshooting:

• It just loads a blank loading SWF screen goto Custom BB Codes and just click save without changing anything. If still does not work you can find
  PHP Code:

  /mediaplayer/mediaplayer.swf 

  and add your domain infront of it Ex http://www.mysite.com/mediaplayer/mediaplayer.swf. If this does not work then no idea it may be the upload itself - try it again if not post here so we can figure it out
• It shows the default vBulletin Image. Goto Custom BB Codes Find
  PHP Code:

  /images/misc/vbulletin3_logo_white.gif 

  and replace that with your direct link to your sites logo.

Note
This is my FIRST ever vB "Hack" it isn't really anything other than it auto installs it for you... If I can I'll work on an auto convert option...
I'd also like to thank all the vB Hackers here as I was learning how to do this by reading all your .xml sources!

Demo of what it looks like: http://www.vibeunderground.com/forum...10-2007-a.html

Please note you should read NeutralizeR's article on vB.org about by passing the click to activate for flash. To do so read it here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ht=click+flash

Here's what my BB Code says.

Sorry for being a knucklehead, but I really want this hack to work. It's exactly what I'm looking for, but I can't get it to work.

I need a little clarity. I'm still very new to the vB software.

The instructions above say:

Install

Step 2. Unzip and upload content to root (http://www.mywebsite.com/) then rename main folder to "mediaplayer"

I unzipped the download and installed the entire unzipped jw_media_player folder into my root.

Should I have installed THE CONTENTS of the jw_media_player folder into the root? Maybe?

Can someone who has a working install try this url to make sure the problem isn't the mp3? It's one of my songs, so there's no copywrite issues, if that's even a factor:

http://www.audioandanarchy.com/mp3/CatchMyRecovery.mp3

[TheBlackPoet]

take that and put the whole url in there...

change that

Should I have installed THE CONTENTS of the jw_media_player folder into the root? Maybe?

upload the whole folder as it is... keep the folder intact.... just give it the name.. the coder said to give it..... mediaplayer

dont forget to go to your admincp.... and install the product

Did a search for Deactivate click and Flash Player. Found nothing relative.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to get back to you Robert! The bypass the click to activate that I was speaking of is located here

Davekeats: Could you edit your post and wrapt the [ code ] tags around so it doesn't break the page?
