De.scription and Message

Hey all, glad to see you back home at the integramod.com domain! I'd ask what all went on but I'm too ADD to pay attention anyways, HA! Hope all is well, and I'm looking forward to your new release.

Anyways, I have a question more than a problem. I want a flash-based mp3 player on my site (dedicated to my band) so visitors can hear some of our original stuff. I've done that part, after trying out several players and finding one I can live with (JW MP3 Player) and did the crackertracker stuff to allow a bit of java.script to run the playlist and settings into the flash. I've tried running it in 2 different places- 1. as a banner on the title bar, and then 2. as a block in the header (right side). All is working fine either place, except one irritation... Every time you follow a link within the website it reloads the player, or starts it over if I set it to autoplay. I'd LOVE to make this uninterrupted, so you can surf the site and listen to the tunes play without them reloading on every click. Plus, if the player is set to autoplay and you open up another tab, a 2nd iteration of the tune starts playing on top of the first. ANY ideas at all on how to arrange this? Thanks in advance from the bottom of my guitar!

OH, BTW, one other question since I'm asking... I moved my site from a subdomain to a FQD once we chose a name and got our domain for it (hosted on the same hoster so no need to move DB). I had to go into the database and do a search and change all references from the old domain to the new, and straight-up copied everything over, in the same subfolder of course. Everything works like a charm, except now I have to log in twice every time I log in. The first one just doesn't take or something, and the 2nd time I'm logged in. Any way to change this?

THANKS,

SeNTry

Oh come on now... 24 views and no one stops at least to say, 'HI, How are ya'???

Well, I found a lead on a possible .script for global play on the flash player, maybe I can mod it around the player I'm using or some fun thing like that. And I finally found a different post about double logins, so maybe I can fix that. Haven't had time to work on it or anything though. If I can manage to solve this myself I'll certainly post up what I did, but ANY suggestions would be a big help.

Maybe a lot of ppl would like to add sound to their site... could be a mod that would complement future versions......

your overall header refreshes every time you view a new page. The only way I found to do what your trying was to put the entire forum in an iframe except for the top of the overall header. It was alot of work and never worked correctly so I gave up on it 2 years ago

Hi helterskelter, thanks for the reply, even though its a bummer. I did have one other idea tho... what about a popup? That wouldn't refresh with the page would it? It could just be a small window holding the player and ppl could open it if they wanted it from a link or it could be set to open automatically when the portal is displayed. Would this be feasible?

That is very easily done. I did that with my old install last year for a internet radio station and it worked quite well and will NOT refresh on new page loads. Obviously the user would need to click a listen now link or something of the such to listen to your music. That i believe is a little more friendly then a in your face popup. Then its a by choice popup.

I happen to know where there is a flash mp3 player at that works in a popup window though, visit my website [url=http]MyShack[/url] , and check out that mp3 player on my page. then click the link under it. If you are looking for something along them lines, let me know and I can point you towards the code. Oh yes and its completely configurable via ACP <img>

the template, CS and HL2 for 140 and 141, both contain popup net radio

Nice <img> Wished I could use 1 of those 2. Built in popup net radio. lol sweet.


The player on my site is infact a flash mp3 player. It is made by a man we call Bigglesworth. Its still in beta but works quite nicely. It allows for upload of songs and you can set it per user as well. And it has a css tool to reskin it to match its surroundings.


It can be found on phpbb.com and it contains install for a normal BB forum or one with mps mod. Just choose accordingly and it should work.

Wow, excellent! I was out of town and hadn't checked here, kind of expecting this topic to fade away. I know I won't be using the CS or HL2 templates since we're not a gaming site at all, but surely there's code to be found! As soon as I have time I'll look more into this, and thanks Helter and MWE 001 both for your help.
