Template Edits
.............................

Step #1
(Edit template based on the version you installed, default or custom-color)

Edit template memberinfo_block_mixpod

• Change two occurrences of "fieldX" to actual field number you noted (eg. field50)
• Customize green highlighted color variables to match the colors of your forum
  • If you install the custom color version, you can skip this step
    

Default Version:

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldx]">
<div id="mixpod" class="tborder content_block">
    <h4 class="thead block_title">
        <a href="#top" class="collapse_gadget" onclick="return toggle_collapse('mixpod')"><img id="collapseimg_mixpod" src="images/buttons/collapse_generic.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
        <a name="albums"></a>
        <span class="block_name">My MixPod Playlist</span>
    </h4>
    <div class="block_content" id="collapseobj_mixpod" style="">    
    <div class="alt2" align="center">
    <embed src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/mp3/mixpod.swf?myid=$userinfo[fieldx]" quality="high" wmode="window" bgcolor="ffffff" flashvars="mycolor=4d528c&mycolor2=f2a0f9&mycolor3=ffffff&autoplay=false&rand=1&f=4&vol=100&pat=1&grad=true" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" border="0" style="visibility:visible;width:100%;height:300px;"></embed>
    </div>
    </div>
</div>
</if>

Custom-Color Version:

Edit template memberinfo_block_mixpod

• Change six occurrences of "fieldX" to actual field number you noted for all 5 user profile fields you created (eg. field50)

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldX]">
    <div id="mixpod" class="tborder content_block">
        <h4 class="thead block_title">
            <a href="#top" class="collapse_gadget" onclick="return toggle_collapse('mixpod')"><img id="collapseimg_mixpod" src="images/buttons/collapse_generic.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
            <a name="albums"></a>
            <span class="block_name">My MixPod Playlist</span>
        </h4>
        <div class="block_content" id="collapseobj_mixpod" style="">    
        <div class="alt2" align="center">
        <embed src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/mp3/mixpod.swf?myid=$userinfo[fieldX]" quality="high" wmode="window" bgcolor=$userinfo[fieldX] flashvars="mycolor=$userinfo[fieldX]&mycolor2=$userinfo[fieldX]&mycolor3=$userinfo[fieldX]&autoplay=true&rand=1&f=4&vol=100&pat=1&grad=true" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" border="0" style="visibility:visible;width:100%;height:300px;"></embed>
        </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</if>

Step #2
Edit template MEMBERINFO and search for

$blocks[groups]
$blocks[visitors]

Put $blocks[mixpod] underneath anyone of those lines. Example:

$blocks[groups]
$blocks[mixpod]
$blocks[visitors]

Your members will now go to their control panel's Edit Details area to fill in their playlist ID. See screenshot for example.

I think its obvious. Look at the profile fields you created, now match it up in the template.

Example:

bgcolor=$userinfo[fieldX]

One of the fields you created is:

MixPod Background Color

Now what is the field # for the one you created? Replace fieldX with that field number. Same for the rest.

I have a weird issue that surfaced recently.
UserA creates a playlist at mixpod, add the playlist numbers into the profile.
Any other members can go to UserA's profile page and see/listen to the playlist but not the UserA.

When UserA goes to profile page mixpod doesn't even show up. Mixpod is completely missing from the profile page. As if UserA didn't input the playlist number. I made sure UserA playlist is correct.

I logged in as UserA and I can't see it either. At the same time userA can see/listen to other member's playlist. As far as I know, no other member has this issue. My works fine.

I have updated to 06 May 2009 version, reverted template, redid the template change prior to posting but still no success.

Any suggestion please?

This is awesome!!!! I like the ability to watch the video of the song you are playing. Great add-on....

Great mod. Took my a little while to get it working. My dumb a$$ didn't put the world "field" in front of the field #'s, lol. Thx for this. Nominated and installed.

I am having this same problem. I created 5 fields numbered 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 and then there are 6 fieldx statements to edit. I would really like to install this but it's giving me an error probably due to not having the correct numbering.

The first field need to be entered into the first two "fieldx" positions. Then continue with the other fields in order (5,5,6,7,8,9) or (field5, field5, field6, field7, field8, field9).

Hope that makes sense.
