My thanks to Link for his one on one time in building the install files for the VB Jukebox

General Features

* The ability to play audio and movie formats - The script will detect both .mpg or .mpeg files and open the media player. If an audio format is played then the media player will stay invisable.

Admin Features

* Upload songs from your browser.
* Unlimited genres.
* Manual data entery for when the uploader fails or for large files.
* At a click will automaticly generate a new thread announcing a song in the jukebox.

* Usergroup permissions for:
--> 1) Who can listen to songs.
--> 2) Who can upload songs.
--> 3) Who can rate songs.

Front End Features

*Members can upload songs, these songs are not available in the jukebox until admin aproval (optional email notification available).
* Callapsable genres (only displays genres that have active songs in them).
* Members can rate songs.

Future Possible Functions

* members favs, this will allow members to add songs to their own favs list and if i can work it out i will try to make it so they can play their favs from start to finish.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REMOTE SONG HOSTING

OPTION 1

In the admin options where it asks for the folder name enter the full path to the where the songs are stored eg "www.something.com/music folder" NO backslash after.
The Downside to this is that your members canrt upload or add songs to the jukebox and movie files will not work.

OPTION 2
In vb_jukebox.php find each instance of

PHP Code:

$playsong = "$vboptions[jb_media_folder]/$playthisong 


replace with

PHP Code:

$playsong = "$playthisong" 


Then enter the full url into the song file field for each song.

Look here. It's nothing that trafix can "fix"; it's up to your host. Hope this helps you.

Until trafix "comes back"...here's the way I got the categories not to be expanded.
Hope it helps.

[WiseOwl]

No doubt Spence you and I will hold it down for Trafix till he comes back

Thanks for that fix.. that was simple, kinda rigged but it works, thanks man. Really want to be able to link to individual category's, like stand alone

And I also want to work on a feature to block users without a certain amount of posts, its getting ridiculous how many ppl come and use the box but don't support the community..

what's your link to your JB? mines http://bb.hiphop.org/vb_jukebox.php

[spence2]

I figure it's the least we can do since Trafix has been so much help to us! Mine's still in "production" so no link.

I'm hoping T will add the ability for the category the user wants the entry displayed in to be related to admin, so I won't have to guess when I approve them.

Best of luck (your site looks great). I'm sure we'll be meeting here often!

Thanks man, lots and lots and lots of work, I think the color scheme in style3 is amazing, check it out and tell me which one you'd prefer to use

Hi, excellent hack!

I am having trouble uploading larger files through the web upload feature. The upload process goes through, but at the end there is no file anywhere to be found. The upload feature through the Admincp ends up with "invalid file name". This does not happen with small files. Is there any workaround for this problem?

I also tried ftp'ng the file directly to the folder, but couldn't find a way to add it in. I tried adding the file through the admincp upload page, but it just said that the file was already uploaded.

Thanks again.

(P.S. Member since 2001 and you get my first post. I hope you feel privileged LOL! )

[WiseOwl]

If possible use manual entry and upload via FTP.. search the topic, the fix for allowing php to upload larger files has been addressed somewhere...

I installed VBJuke box today but I have not been able to get it to work. I believe the problem is with a querrie or a phrase. Both of which I totally suck at.

The problem I had at first was that I could not get my songs to paly. I tried changing the paths etc and still nothing. After that I tried to run the uninsatller so I could try to reinstall and I get a database error. Now when I go to the jukebox php file I get a blank page..

If anyone is familiar with this install and can help me get this going I'd appreciate it. If your not familiar with this particular please don't respond..

I don't have much money but I will paypal who ever can fix this a predetermined amount....

Thanks,

Rich

I'm sure I could figure this out if I spent the time but I have 2 kids due home soon... need I say more?? lol
