BB Code Enhancements - Innovative Small MP3 Player BB Code

Innovative Small mp3 Player BB Code

By:

This BB Code will allow users to have a small mp3 player in:

• Posts in the forums
• Signatures i.e. Song of the day/week etc.
• anywhere you can use BB Code Tags

I found this while browsing: http://www.phpbb3bbcodes.com as I have some phpBB boards of my own and was tinkering as usual . It was rather simple to add as a BB Code to VBulletin and did not take much time to make it work in vB via the {param} tags etc!

Credit for the Code goes to phpbb3codes.com and the creator of the .swf player i.e. djgalix!

Time to install: 1-2 mins

Instructions:

• Download the .zip and extract the SWF player
• Upload the player_mp3.swf into your forum root folder
• Add new BB code:

AdminCP --> Custom BB Codes --> Add New BB Code

Title: mp3
Tag: mp3
Replacement:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
        data="player_mp3.swf?mp3={param}" width="200" height="20" />
  <param name="movie" value="player_mp3.swf?mp3={param}" />
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>

Use {option} = NO

*The Player .swf file HAS to be in your forums ROOT folder, this will make it NOT visible in AdminCP as that is another folder i.e. admincp folder BUT it will display FINE in the forums via FireFox and Internet Explorer! (Thanks for the catching that bug where it did not display joh!)

Now use the tags [mp3]Full Song URL Here![/mp3]

*Experienced Users can take the code replacement and hard code into forums where desired!

For some who cannot get the mod to work etc, it is usally the AME mod, a Mod Security enabled on your server per your host OR something in your .htaccess file.

If you have an htaccess file add this to it:

RewriteEngine On 
# Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yoururl.com/.*$ [NC]

Replace the yoururl with your url, note I left the .com so if you are .net or .org change that, also leave the www as-is unless you have something setup like forums.yoursite.com etc etc.

Hope that helps some, and remember to always PM me if I do not reply promptly to your posts.

Not to sound like a smart-arse BUT did you at least try? I mean it is a simple BB Code, if your not too good yet w/ vB you should have PM'd me

Follow the instructions, Add a new BB Code via admincp --> BB Code Manager, you'll see the areas as listed in the install. If unsure just save & test but remember you must post to view the player and it must be a url w/ .mp3 in the address

Ok I seriously don't know what I am doing wrong here.

I added the player to my forums root. I added the BB Code perfectly as per your instructions. I made a folder, uploaded a couple of songs, pointed to the URL, and nothing shows up in the post. If I put the URL in my browser, I can hear and see the song... just not in a post. Grrr. Frustrated. I'm using Firefox, tried also in Safari and it didn't work. What the heck could I be doing wrong?

ETA: Strange... the player shows up if I leave out the http:// but plays nothing. When the full url is put in, no player shows up.

No problem, what anyone says by ROOT is the MAIN folder, so if your forums are installed in your FTP in the main folder for your website it will need to be placed there i.e.

www.yoursite.com/

If your link reads

www.yoursite.com/forum/index.php

Then your forums ROOT folder will be "forum" so place the file there i.e. the "forum" folder when logged into your FTP or file manager.
