How can i embed mp3 music to index.php?

[AnotherJacob]

Is there a way to make the forum main page (index.php) play a mp3 file just like on a html file?

I did try and search for it but came up empty.

I'm sure you can google it and find out what to add to your FORUMHOME template, but I would strongly suggest you don't do this. It's annoying. Whenever I go to a site that plays an mp3 when I go there, I close the window and don't go back.

I'll vouch for that, theres nothing worst especially if its a song you hate remember you can't please everyone

yes i have googled it, i just thought maybe a vBulletin version of something like this was made : http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/200...r-website.html

It's totaly optionaly to click play or not, it won't play automaticly. The thing is that i think vBulletin has a special design over it, and adding stuff from like the link here makes it look more amateurish (if that's a word? lol).

The player at that link looks fine... to me at least. I think there may be a mod to play mp3s on the profile page (or am I thinking of video?). Try looking in the Profile Enhancements area of the mods. See what that player looks like, and if you like it, use it on your page.

You can have it play everytime the page loads by adding this code to your header template

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") != -1)
document.writeln ('');
else
document.writeln ('<EMBED SRC="Mysong.mp3" AUTOSTART="true" HIDDEN="true" VOLUME="80%">');
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<BGSOUND SRC="Mysong.mp3">

Except that method is RIDICULOUSLY annoying. Most websites that do that are instantly navigated away from.

I know, but note the code sample provided in the post before mine

*snicker* I don't think I'm going to go there to see how well this works out.

I once had this guy need help on his site and it played music when I went to it. I told him I wasn't willing to go help him if he didn't turn that off. He got all huffy at me and wouldn't turn it off. No one else posted in his thread to help out.
