What is this:?
Ok its The AussieTrance MP3 Playlist Vbulletin Integration.
Its brilliant, fast fun and free. Listen to music whilst on your forum, add to your playlist, remove items, members stay on your forum for longer !

Ok second stab at integrating the http://www.aussietrance.com playlist player onto your Vbulletin forum.

Please note this is tested on Vb 3.7.x only.

Credits goto:

Gary King ( Your own Vbulletin Powered Page )
All of the members on http://www.yobromofo.com for putting up with my Guinnea Pig Trials.

Okay.
This is quite extensive but easy to do, just follow the steps.

Step 1.
Create your own vbulletin powered page, and call it: playlist.php
Here is the code I use. Just copy and paste it into notepad, or other text editor, then upload via ftp to your forum root, example ( forum/playlist.php )

Code:

<?php
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'playlist'); // change this depending on your filename
// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################
// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array(
);
// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array(
);
// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
    'playlist',
);
// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array(
);
// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');
// #######################################################################
// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################
// #######################################################################
$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Aussie Trance Playlist';
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('playlist') . '");');
?>

Step 2.
Creating a Vb Powered Page Template.

Goto admincp>Styles and Templates>Style Manager>Your Style>All Style Options>Add New Template

Title: playlist
Template : add the code below

Code:

<center>
<embed
src="http://www.aussietrance.com/playlistplayer.swf"
width="400"
height="145"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="false"
flashvars="height=145&width=400&file=http://www.aussietrance.com/includes/sources/playlistxml.php?id=$bbuserinfo[field16]&backcolor=0xCCCCCC&displaywidth=125&searchbar=false&showicons=false&showeq=true&showdownload=true&thumbsinplaylist=false&autostart=false&autoscroll=true"
/><br><a href="http://www.aussietrance.com/" target="_new">Create your own FREE music playlist for your profile!</a></center>

Note : In this code it says $bbuserinfo[field16]

This you will need to change after the next step. OK

Step 3.

Admincp>User Profile Fields>Add New Profile Field

Title: AussieTrance.com Vbulletin Playlist ID
Description: Put your AussieTrance.com Playlist ID here.
Max Length of Allowed user input: 100
Field Length: 25
Field Reqd: No
Private Field : Yes
Field Searchable on members List: No
Show On Members List: No

Click Save

Now when you return to the Profile Field Manager screen, take note of the field Number
example field16

Step Four:
Now go back to your template playlist
(find in Styles and Templates, your template search playlist )
Find $bbuserinfo[field16] and change the 16 to your number !

EASY

Step 4.

OK now thats ALL edits done... apart from we now need to edit Navigation Bar.

This is also fairly easy.

In your template:> navbar

Add the code below to the very top of your template

Code:

<!--playlist popup-->
<script type="text/javascript">
function openpopup(popurl){
var winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=450,height=180")
}
</script>
<!--end of playlist popup-->

Scroll down the page, and look for ::

Code:

<td width="100%"><span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></span> $navbits[breadcrumb]</td>
            </tr>

After add:

Code:

<!--menu for playlist-->
<tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" >
<a href="javascript:openpopup('playlist.php')">My Playlist</a>
</td>
</tr>
<!--end of menu for playlist-->

Save.

Step 5.

Goto FORUMHOME template

find

Code:

</head>

JUST before it add.

Code:

<!--playlist popup-->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var win=null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll,pos){
if(pos=="random"){LeftPosition=(screen.width)?Math.floor(Math.random()*(screen.width-w)):100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?Math.floor(Math.random()*((screen.height-h)-75)):100;}
if(pos=="center"){LeftPosition=(screen.width)?(screen.width-w)/2:100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?(screen.height-h)/2:100;}
else if((pos!="center" && pos!="random") || pos==null){LeftPosition=0;TopPosition=20}
settings='width='+w+',height='+h+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes';
win=window.open(mypage,myname,settings);}
// -->
</script>
<!--end of playlist popup-->

FINISHED !

Now all your users need to do, is goto http://www.aussietrance.com , join up for FREE.
Search and add tunes to their playlist.

When they are done, they can click My Playlist

They will see:
Add My Playlist to Vbulletin post or Signature

Underneath is their Playlist ID.

Copy the ID.

Come back to your forum, goto UserCP
Edit your Details
Scroll to the bottom, and Paste the ID into the Aussie Trance box.

Thats it.

Now when they are on your site, they can click the Playlist menu item, and their AussieTrance playlist will popup and begin playing.

Its a brilliant CODE. I cannot convert to a product. As it does require template creation and template edits.

Have Fun Ozzy
