add a mp3 player on all the mp3 link

laurent107 · February 2007

hello this is not a real extention (with instalation) and to use it you need to edit the page with your ftp prog to add a player on all the mp3 link (only the clickable) just add this $Head->AddString('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://googlepage.googlepages.com/player.js"></script>'); on your page for exemple on /yourvanilladirectory/comments.php in the Define properties of the page controls that are specific to this page (near line 37) then it's look like : // Define properties of the page controls that are specific to this page $Head->BodyId = 'CommentsPage'; $Head->AddString('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://googlepage.googlepages.com/player.js"></script>'); $Menu->CurrentTab = "discussions"; $Panel->CssClass = "CommentPanel"; $Panel->BodyCssClass = "Comments"; $Context->PageTitle = $CommentGrid->Discussion->Name;

if your want to host the script on your own server you can find and download all the files here : the javascript : http://laurent.gandhi.free.fr/player.js the flash player : http://laurent.gandhi.free.fr/player.swf the icon : http://laurent.gandhi.free.fr/play.gif http://laurent.gandhi.free.fr/play2.gif http://laurent.gandhi.free.fr/stop.gif credit : del.icio.us mp3 player remied

of course you can change the icon, but then don't forget to change the size (width height) in the player.js

This gadget works well as a standalone on my desktop.
However, I tried to get this working as an extension but no luck.
It seems this is failing...

if(o.href.match(/\.mp3$/i)) {

The link to the sound.mp3 file never gets replaced by the icon.

the classic regex is this I guess $CONTENT = preg_replace('#h(ttps?://[0-9a-zA-Z\.\&\#\:/~\-_%=?]*\.(mp3))#i', '<embed src="xx$1" width="120" height="23" type="video/quicktime" controller="true" autoplay="false" loop="true" cache="false">', $CONTENT);

"classic regex" ???

I finally got this script to work, but not as an extension unfortunately.
It worked when I added the player.js file manually to the page_end.php file.

I think the extension adds it too early in the load order for it to work.
Is there a way to add it later in the page load order using an extension?

Why not use $Head->AddScript rather than $Head->AddString? Probably wont make much of a difference though... then again I dont see why the head is too early for it to load - that's where all the other js gets instantiated.

Wanderer · March 2007

Tried that, didn't work.

The script replaces href tags ending in .mp3 with an image.

Maybe if it loads before the page does, there are no such tags yet?

Can an extension add a link to the bottom of a page?

[-Stash-] · March 2007

Perhaps all it needs is to be told to fire when the page has finished loading, then it can be put in the head?

circuit · March 2007

it would be wonderful to have this packaged up as an extension...

Minisweeper · March 2007

I guess you could add it to the page end then but I'm not sure what the 'rules' are about doing stuff like that
To use it as an extension try wrapping whatever's necessary (probably just an echo '';) in a function, and using:
$Context->AddToDelegate('PageEnd', 'PreRender', 'functionname');

Yes, my people are having a ball playing with it.
I have even added a new button for the Quicktags extension to make it so easy to use.
It's great that the usually huge .mp3 files are stored elsewhere on the web too!

Unfortunately my attempt to make it into an extension failed due to the reasons outlined above so I had to install the script manually.

Sorry, too vague, I missed the point.

the point was that due to security reasons, the idea for a full Multimedia extension was scrapped.

Wanderer · March 2007

Who said anything about a full media extension?

How dangerous is a link to an .mp3 file?

All the script does is replace all <a> tags ending in .mp3 with an image and uses a hidden Flash gadget to play the sound file.

If the .mp3 file is not valid, it simply fails elegantly, that is, the Flash gadget can't run malignant code if that's what the worry is.

OK folks, I have found a way to make this into an extension.

Testing in Safari and Mac/Firefox now.

Stay tuned, it should be in the add-ons section soon, it will be called: Dplayer.

It's up now.

i'm guessing this won't work without a html formatter extension? i'm gonna test it now... (i have html turned off).

laurent107 · March 2007

it's a great extention wanderer thanks a lot !

circuit · March 2007

ah no it doesn't work without HTML.

i don't mind turning HTML on, but i can't seem to add it to the BBInsertBar in a way that will provide the correct formatting in both HTML and BBCode. i would really like to use this extension, if anyone has any suggestions as to how i could do it, please share!

circuit · March 2007

i think i just encountered a problem with the plugin.

*** beware, this mp3 is NOT work safe ***

<a href="http://www.foosthole.net/snds/Tom_Baker-Commercial_Voiceover_Outtakes.mp3"></a>

comes out double (?) speed. i guess it has a low bitrate.

MySchizoBuddy · March 2007

flash requires constant bitrate mp3's vbr ones will either play slow or fast.

Wanderer · March 2007

Of course the gadget won't work without HTML enabled, <a> tags are HTML elements.

The chipmonk effect with Flash and certain bitrates is well known, ain't nuffin' I can doodle about that.

BBCode, I don't use, it would require a modification to the (rather complex) JavaScript. Feel free to hack it!

circuit · March 2007

wanderer, sorry if i offended you. i wasn't trying to be critical, just had some queries about the plugin and didn't know about the flash player VBR problem.

Wanderer · March 2007

No offense taken mate

I find the ideal sample rate for Flash to be 44100 at 16 bits, it works every time.

Of course if you are using someone else's file, ain't nuffin much you can do about it, except perhaps download it, change the sample rate and store it on your own server.

MySchizoBuddy · March 2007

this should work with BBcode as well, cause it works after the html is created.BBcode generates the html and this plugin makes em Live
I still think improving HTMLformatter for mp3 would have been the best way to do. so u can use the preview as well. but thats just me.

Avcourse u don't actually need flash to play mp3. the plugin can generate a quicktime embed code. or windows media embed code. and they have no problem with VBR's

There was a time when I would have agreed with you mate, but these days Flash seems to be much more universal than Quicktime and you know what I think of anything Windblows!

As for creating embed code, that's soooooo messy in a comment box, my members love the simplicity of pasting in a plain link to an mp3 file using my added Quicktags button: and the rest just happens magically.

MySchizoBuddy · March 2007

well you can always do a check, if Quicktime is available then use that if not then use flash.and live with no VBR.
i was sayign that ur javascript adds embed tags for flash. change the plugin to make it spit out Quicktime. u will still be able to use ur new cool Audio Button and ur users will be completely oblivious to the change. plus a cool extension will be one where it checked the mp3 tags and if it was VBR, will add quicktime?

PS good lord ur a leo just like me.
how come we're so different. we both do love Macs. obviously

Wanderer · March 2007

You give me too much credit mate, that's somebody else's script (couldn't find who to give the credit to) I just packaged it.

By the way, did you receive an email when you were approved to my forum?
I got a fatal error this end!

How's the weather in Arizona?
