Music/Videos in profile
There are similar mods already, but they are not featurich enough.
I was thinking of having a media player on each user' s profile, which plays a playlist of 10 songs or videos. I might want to seperate the two players, one for music only and the other for videos only. I am afraid there could be display problems to have different media types in one playlist. Songs and videos will be hosted elsewhere, either on a video portal or on a free file hoster. What is needed? 1. a flv player. I have found two: http://www.mcmediaplayer.com/ http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Media_Player One of those will be integrated in profile. I think that this won' t be a problem. There are some articles about adding a new tab or block to your profile. 2. (a) new custom profile field(s). I am not sure what to use for the playlist. It will probably look like this: http://h1.ripway.com/shakiro/playlists/Music.xml Either using 20 single line input fields for the playlist or using 1 text area input field. I think using 20 custom profile fields is a little bit easier concerning coding knowledge, but it does not look very efficient. A text area custom profile field is setup more quickly and might have performance advantages, because you do not add uneccessary columns to your database. Probably only 20% of the users will use the player. If presented to the user, you need to strip off all code from the playlist but the media title and url. I don' t know if performance is an issue with having so many custom profile fields. I have looked at the pc specs mod and they all seem to use single line profile fields. 3. optional, but desired: users should be able to sort their playlist. I don' t know if there is a variable for the position in the playlist, I have not seen one yet. Maybe you need to have an extra custom profile field for each media. I have seen a non vb site where the playlist was displayed and you were able to click up and down arrows to move the songs. It probably was javascript. I think that this is all you need to create such a mod. If you notice that I have forgotten something important or the outline of this mod is wrong, please reply. But my main questions are these: 1. which player would you choose or is their a better one? 2. 20 fields or one field only? What php functions would be needed, eg preg_replace? |
