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.

Any word on if the player can be made to pop out or "float" so that members do not have to stay on someones profile page to listen to the player?

[FTG STRYKER FG]

Trying to figure out how to set the player to "NOT" start automatically and also change the volume to start at 50%. Did the following but nothing changed:

Changed the following (highlighted) in "Memberinfo_block_mixpod" template:

<embed src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/mp3/mixpod.swf?myid=$userinfo[field6]" quality="high" wmode="window" bgcolor=$userinfo[field7] flashvars="mycolor=$userinfo[field8]&mycolor2=$userinfo[field9]&mycolor3=$userinfo[field10]&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>

Changed to:

<embed src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/mp3/mixpod.swf?myid=$userinfo[field6]" quality="high" wmode="window" bgcolor=$userinfo[field7] flashvars="mycolor=$userinfo[field8]&mycolor2=$userinfo[field9]&mycolor3=$userinfo[field10]&autoplay=false&rand=1&f=4&vol=50&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>

Logged out, logged back in and player still starts automatically with full volume. Any ideas?

Thx,

[Brennan Portz]

I found out how to change the mixpod styles replace the old embed with this

<embed src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/mp3/fetish-mp3player.swf?myid=$userinfo[fieldx]" quality="high" wmode="transparent" flashvars="mycolor=000000&mycolor2=545454&mycolor3 =ffffff&autoplay=true&rand=0&f=4&vol=100&pat=0&gra d=true" width="219" height="35" name="myflashfetish" salign="TL" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" border="0" style="visibility:visible;width:219px;height:200px;" /><br></embed>

field x is your mixpod playlist field if you want to change it to other players what you do is the following.

1) log in to mixpod and change your player
2) save and get code
3) search in the code for .swf (this is the flash file) replace link in the top bar for example you would replace the one in the red
4) edit the blue fields to fit your profiles pages as needed blue is width and height

Awesome Mod! Very Easy to Use Web Site for making a Playlist. Blows LoudFusion away! I added for custom field descriptions hyperlink to web site and a hyperlink to a color chart for users to easily choose their colors.

I have installed this mod...and I am having a problem. Some of the members of my forum do not see the player at all when they visit profiles. I have used their username/password and I don't see the mixpod player either.

Is this a problem with permissions or the code? I really need to correct this...thanks!

[COL NIL SATIS]

[expeditionman]
