Template Edits

Step #1
(Edit template based on the version you installed, default or custom-color)

Edit template memberinfo_block_mixpod

• Change two occurrences of "fieldX" to actual field number you noted (eg. field50)
• Customize green highlighted color variables to match the colors of your forum
  • If you install the custom color version, you can skip this step
    

Default Version:

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldx]">
<div id="mixpod" class="tborder content_block">
    <h4 class="thead block_title">
        <a href="#top" class="collapse_gadget" onclick="return toggle_collapse('mixpod')"><img id="collapseimg_mixpod" src="images/buttons/collapse_generic.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
        <a name="albums"></a>
        <span class="block_name">My MixPod Playlist</span>
    </h4>
    <div class="block_content" id="collapseobj_mixpod" style="">    
    <div class="alt2" align="center">
    <embed src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/mp3/mixpod.swf?myid=$userinfo[fieldx]" quality="high" wmode="window" bgcolor="ffffff" flashvars="mycolor=4d528c&mycolor2=f2a0f9&mycolor3=ffffff&autoplay=false&rand=1&f=4&vol=100&pat=1&grad=true" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" border="0" style="visibility:visible;width:100%;height:300px;"></embed>
    </div>
    </div>
</div>
</if>

Custom-Color Version:

Edit template memberinfo_block_mixpod

• Change six occurrences of "fieldX" to actual field number you noted for all 5 user profile fields you created (eg. field50)

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldX]">
    <div id="mixpod" class="tborder content_block">
        <h4 class="thead block_title">
            <a href="#top" class="collapse_gadget" onclick="return toggle_collapse('mixpod')"><img id="collapseimg_mixpod" src="images/buttons/collapse_generic.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
            <a name="albums"></a>
            <span class="block_name">My MixPod Playlist</span>
        </h4>
        <div class="block_content" id="collapseobj_mixpod" style="">    
        <div class="alt2" align="center">
        <embed src="http://assets.myflashfetish.com/swf/mp3/mixpod.swf?myid=$userinfo[fieldX]" quality="high" wmode="window" bgcolor=$userinfo[fieldX] flashvars="mycolor=$userinfo[fieldX]&mycolor2=$userinfo[fieldX]&mycolor3=$userinfo[fieldX]&autoplay=true&rand=1&f=4&vol=100&pat=1&grad=true" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" border="0" style="visibility:visible;width:100%;height:300px;"></embed>
        </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</if>

Step #2
Edit template MEMBERINFO and search for

$blocks[groups]
$blocks[visitors]

Put $blocks[mixpod] underneath anyone of those lines. Example:

$blocks[groups]
$blocks[mixpod]
$blocks[visitors]

Your members will now go to their control panel's Edit Details area to fill in their playlist ID. See screenshot for example.

Hello,

It's great Mod and i installed it but i have small problem.

I can't change the colors for the player on my profile page and it's show only one color.

Can you help me to fix it please? and can you tell me how to change the Auto play to off?

PS. I used the Custom-Color Version, and can you tell us what's the different between them?

* clicked install and Nominate

==== Edit ====

I installed the Default Version and everything is ok now.

I Just can't change the auto play to off mode ; ;

By the way, should i be signed in to mixpod.com to show my playlist on my profile page? cuz i think it's won't show for me if i'm not signed in ._.

[Chadi]

You don't have to be signed in, its a public playlist (assuming you set the setting to public).

If you want autoplay off, edit the mixpod template and change

autoplay=true

to

autoplay=false

[Xeye]

Good job, everything now is perfect ^.^

Thank you.
