[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

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!

It should be within any style, unless you're using a custom style and it is being called from another template. If you view your forum from the page source, you should see where it is making javascript calls from, they are normally grouped together under the main CSS.

Installed the mod no problems. When I add a mp3 file as streaming, and admin has to approve the mp3 file first. Im not able to approve it so that its added to the list. When I click approve and save it still shows "0" and wont change that setting. Thus wont add to the playlist.

So then I try again with another file. But if I add the mp3 files with streaming as false then it adds to the player with approval set to no. It then shows in the player but wont actually play ( and yes its linking to the correct mp3 file ).

We are having problems with the approval system, for some reason its working fine on some boards but not others. I've noticed that by setting the Admin Approval to Yes - I can add mp3's with no problem - I am hoping to have a fix for this shortly.

I just installed this mod and after installing it when I try to add an mp3 to the playlist I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_pm in /includes/class_dm.php on line 763

Sorry if this has been answered earlier. I tried to search for the error message and it came up empty.

This relates to an error if you do not follow the instructions carefully.

Re-import the product.xml again, then press Refresh on your browser. Go to Mp3 Player Management -> Settings and make sure you click Save. If you fail to click Save the PM system will not work and that error will appear.

Thanks for the quick answer syrus you beat me to it before I could edit the post. I had just figured that one out but I do have another problem . When I add an mp3 I can see it to approve in Playlist 1 but when I go to approve it does not save the status as approved and it does not show up in the playlist.
