New Posting Features - Now Playing

Installation Instructions
Step 1: Upload the .xml file to the Product Manager
Step 2: Read the install.txt file for template edit instructions
Step 3: Click INSTALL!

What does this Plugin do?
It let's you and your members display what they are listening to at the time of posting. The user will have to type in what they are listening into the now playing box at posting as there is currently no program that can see what you are listening to at this time.

Screenshots?

for another look :

REMOVE:

<if condition="$post['nowplaying']">
<!-- nowplaying -->
<div>
<b>Now Playing:</b> <smallfont>$post[nowplaying]</smallfont>
</div>
<!-- / nowplaying -->
</if>

Find :

<!-- icon and title -->
            <div class="smallfont">
                <if condition="$show['messageicon']"><img class="inlineimg" src="$post[iconpath]" alt="$post[icontitle]" border="0" /></if>
                <if condition="$post['title']"><strong>$post[title]</strong></if>
            </div>
            <hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
            <!-- / icon and title -->

Replace by :

<!-- icon and title -->
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="60%"><div class="smallfont">
                <if condition="$show['messageicon']"><img class="inlineimg" src="$post[iconpath]" alt="$post[icontitle]" border="0" /></if>
                <if condition="$post['title']"><strong>$post[title]</strong></if>
            </div>
            </td>
    <if condition="$post['nowplaying']"> <td align="right" style="border-left:1px solid" width="40%">
<!-- nowplaying -->
<marquee direction="left" scrollamount="5"><div class="smallfont" style="height:18px;"><b>Now Playing: <blink>:</blink></b> <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed">$post[nowplaying]</span> <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/playing.gif" alt="" /></div></marquee>
<!-- / nowplaying -->
</td></if>
  </tr>
</table>
<hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
            <!-- / icon and title -->

Live demo : here
( look like a song playing in the iPod screen )

[Azhrialilu]

Nice idea would there be any way of getting it to pull the information from a last.fm account to grab the song playing?

I removed the product and took out template edits, still cant post to site!

[yesfans]

I loaded the Product back to the site and I am able to post. If remove it I get the above error!

[RaptureM3]

Sorry a little off-topic, but how do you get the username bar on top (like in the first pic) and on the left (like in the second pic)?

Is this an option in vBulletin?
