Welcome ,
This is the SEO friendly and AJAX powered musicbox by DnP Network, it is coded by Silvery Hat in the late 2008 and early 2009. The original version was used way back in the '06 or '07 with limited functions and no ajax support. An upgrade and modification have been made few weeks ago for this release, main goal was to make it faster and compatible with all vBulletin forums. Recently there are requests from users who want to buy this code for a good price but then, I would release it for free to the public .
Compatible vBulletin 3.6.x and earlier
For vBulletin 3.7.x and later :
Click here
However, please be aware : For every Modification, there might be bugs somewhere that the author have not yet found them himself. The same gravity applies for DnP Instant! Musicbox. Though I have manage to solve all the issues before anyone notices, there is still a great chance it's not perfectly bug free. Even vBulletin itself. I urge any kind souls who will contribute their time and effort to help me improve it for every coming version. Bug reports, Ideas, Feedbacks are truly welcomed.
Simplified 2-Step Installation :
1. Upload all files and folders under the "
upload" folder to your forum root.
2. Run
forum_root/install_dnp_musicbox.php to setup new tables to your database.
This little friendly webpage is also AJAX supported. Delete it after you have finished installing the data.
[
Note] : For Unix host, please make sure the folder you have uploaded the musicbox content to is CHMOD to 666 or 777 (writable) if you receive a permission error during installation.
And, That's all the installation steps!

AdminCP > DnP Musicbox Options to add new categories, artists (optional), and albums (optional).
