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 working. After adding the link and wrapping the tags it disappears.

[TheLastSuperman]

Redo the BB code and thanks for the post soundbarrierpro!

I fixed it in IE per joh's post in the 3.8 thread, please REDO the BB Code and thanks for the help!

It works now in IE and FF!

Basically redo the BB code per the updated info above, making sure the .swf player file is in your forum ROOT folder!

Thanks again Joh!

Let me know, I have had to host this for a few sites but currently you must make a $5 donation for me to host the player.

It doesn't work for me. Installed as directed (with the player_mp3.swf file in my forums root) and the player doesn't show up at all in the posts.

I viewed source on the thread page and this is the code that shows, which appears to be correct when comparing to your demo - and your demo works for me so I'm not sure what the problem is.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="player_mp3.swf?mp3=http://www.bluesrockworld.com/musicfiles/guitarsolo1.mp3" height="20" width="200">
  <param name="movie" value="player_mp3.swf?mp3=http://www.bluesrockworld.com/musicfiles/guitarsolo1.mp3">
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>
