Multimedia Upload

Hello all,

Awhile back, I post a a script that allow vb3 member to upload files like mp3, wma, etc. I have no idea that such upload is needed for our board I got a lot of request for instructions and direction on that script.

As a result, I put aside a little time from my working hour and work on this new upload script.

What this script does is:

- Allow members to select a file from their local computer.

-Upload to the board's predifined directory.

-Create a meta file that associated with the current uploaded file, and save to another directory. This meta will be used by the music bb code



The uploaded files are not managed by database.

You will have to create the BB code for your music format. If you need the bb code, I will post it up here.

Thanks

If you have the need to upload other file format, out of vbulletin scope, then yes it is possible to this. Other than that, vb's attachment management is my prefered choice, because it is secured. The link are masked and taken care by database.

will this show also show the uploaded songs in attachements?

No this won't show in attachment. What it does is uploading the media files in one directory, creating a music meta file and save this in another directory, then create bbcode based on each files format.

Currently, it can support realplayer, mp3, wma, and wma.

Ok i figured that, good hack but i rather use the new one by ericGTR that is the same thing pretty much but uses attachments system

Thanks

Any possibility of just getting the raw bbcodes? I'd like to use the media player as a standard bb code to be used by all my users. Thanks!

[Moya]

I post the bbcodes on the first page

It doesn't work. I don't know what i've done wrong, we use the mediaplayer as mp3 streamsource

You mean the bbcodes or the upload script?

i also have the webpage hack for the profile and i would like to add a music background to that as well.. it uses both html codes and bbcodes.

I try adding html codes to play background music but doesn nothing..

well anyways.. the first question is what i really need.. thanks

[Moya]

Those are for bbcode. You can add those bbcode thru the bbcode management under admincp

Where do you want to add music background?
