*IMPORTANT: About version 3.6!!*

[high]External Data Pull[/high]
This modification is designed to pull data from internal and external servers. Check that you enter full urls to pull external data or the modification will fail to read.

[high]Features:[/high]

• Can hold upto 500 mp3 tracks (5 playlists with 100 tracks in each)
• Automatically cuts off access to playlists if 100 tracks are reached
• All track data held in database
• Volume & Pan(balance) Controls
• Add mp3's through AdminCP or via Popup
• PM system notifcation of new tracks submitted
• Edit/Delete/Approve/Deny tracks via AdminCP
• Usergroup Permissions for adding tracks and viewing of player
• Multi-functional display on mp3 player
• WOL Enabled - see who's using the mp3 player
• Stream and Buffer parameters per track
• Track pre-loading on display

This version is not compatible with the XML driven vbMp3 Player I released awhile ago (you may uninstall or leave in, as this version uses renamed files). The player, and all code have been changed, and now fully utilizes the vBulletin AdminCP for settings, mp3 playlist management, usergroup permissions.

[high]Known Issues:[/high]
None

UPDATING:
Overwrite all files with the new package XEON Mp3 Player v4.0.0
Import the Product XML file using the vBulletin Product Manager. Go to Mp3 Player Management and update settings and Save.

Template edit:
(required on new install or upgrade, unless you have installed other products from us.).
In the headinclude template -
Find:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script>

Above add:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/flashobject.js"></script>

If this line of code already exists then DO NOT ADD IT!

End of Update


MAIN INSTALLATION

Installation:
Upload the contents of the ?Upload folder? to your forum root. Import the ?product-mp3player.xml? file via ?Plugins & Products? ? Manage Products ? Import Product in your AdminCP. Press F5 or refresh your browser window to view the Mp3 Player Management menu. Once you install this version make sure you Update the MP3 Management settings and click SAVE, failure to do so will result in an error if you enable the custom PM notification system.

Template Edits:
These edits are based on the default vBulletin style, you may need to change if you have a custom style.


AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar

Find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

After add:

<!-- Mp3 Player Launch -->
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="javascript:NewWindow=window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/mp3playerindex.php?do=viewmp3playerpopup','newWin','width=500,height=500,left=0,top=0, toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=1,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
NewWindow.focus(); void(0);">vbMp3 Player</a></td>
</if>
<!-- End Mp3 Player Launch -->

Now, navigate to AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Usergroup Manager ? adjust usergroups permissions as required. Default is all usergroups have no access.

You now have the vbMp3 XEON player installed!

[high]Update notifications can only be sent out if you have clicked 'INSTALL'.[/high]

More players will available shortly.

Enjoy!

Ok, Syrus, I've given this a lot of thought...I'm gonna do this, and install this baby. Still kinda nervous, though...LOL! You've been so nice and understanding and prompt with your support. Just want you to know how much I appreciate it.

Um...doesn't the old player and playlists need to be removed from the DB? None of them were overwritten. And should I just leave in the navbar template edits I did for the other player?

The old version uses no database entries, and can be removed from your vbulletin, if you wish. It doesn't conflict in anyway with this newer version, since all file names are different. The navbar edits should be removed since you will end up with both mp3 player links, may become confusing to some members.

Ok, thank you, Syrus, I'll remove the first template edit...but what I meant was shouldn't I remove the files I uploaded into my forum directory? Wouldn't I have two players if I didn't?? And the playlists...shouldn't I remove those from my directory, as well?

Once you have installed the product XML, and refreshed the AdminCP - just Save the default settings in the Mp3 Player Management. You can then change your settings accordingly, as you see fit for your forum.

Well, you could remove them - otherwise you will just be 'clogging' up the forum directory with unused files. Both players have different file names.

The only time I ran both was in the development - but not on a public accessible forum.

[deezelpope]

Exactly what I thought! Ok, and, yes, I'm afraid I've one more question...I can still use the other one until I get my mp3's transferred to the new one, right? I have the new one disabled until the mp3 transfer is complete, and then I was planning to uninstall the old version.

[syrus.xl]

Yeah, both will work together on a single forum. They were designed that way, to avoid conflicts between the two, if people were to upgrade from one to another.

[deezelpope]

Syrus, you are a brilliant man!!! Seriously, I could kiss you!! My friends and I are incredible music lovers and we are grateful to you, and you have my utmost respect. This is an amazing addition to our community!! Thank you so very much for this!!!

[syrus.xl]

Thanks! You're most welcome.

[deezelpope]

Yaaay!! Installed flawlessly!!! All mp3's transferred! Damn, it was easier that I thought! Thanks again, Syrus!! This is such a beautiful thing! :up: :up: :up:
