Glad you solved it!

I had some answers ready for you last night - But this site went off-line with lost connections to the DB for some time. :(

So I went to bed. :mricy:

Actually, I did not solve it. I used the media player instead. I had to resolve to using the media player because of:

1. I could not get it to autoplay.
2. I had to use HTML instead of bbcode because I also have a PayPal button in the block also.

Thanks,

I have been noticing that this site is getting slower and slower to load for some reason. I even did a complete OS cleaning to make sure it was not my system.

If you still want to try to add emff - have a play with this.

Open:

/includes/bbcb_mg.php

Find:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

					$html = '<object data="emff_player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="200" height="55" align="top" ><param name="FlashVars" value="src=' . $content . '" /><param name="movie" value="emff_player.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#f8f8f8" /></object>';

Add the params that auto-start it. ;)

Correct me if I am wrong but from what I see, If I copy and paste this code into a block that is using HTML, it would work?

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<object data="emff_player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="200" height="55" align="top" ><param name="FlashVars" value="src=audio/test.mp3' . $content . '" /><param name="movie" value="emff_player.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#f8f8f8" /></object>

Ok I copied and pasted it and it did not work. So I have reworked the code to the best of my kindergarden knowledge and it still does not work. Can you see what I might be doing wrong?

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<object data="emff_player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="200" height="55" align="top" ><param name="FlashVars" value="src=BLAIRCOUNTYTEAPARTY/audio/090109 blair county tea party final.mp3' . $content . '" /><param name="movie" value="emff_player.swf" /><param name="autoplay" VALUE="true" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#f8f8f8" /></object>

Thanks,

Dave

Try this and replace the whole string. Then you will have to use bbCode to "call" the url etc. ;)

Also try to get into the habit of posting complete strings, because I don't know if you've left $html = ' and '; from the original. But I do know that you will get php errors if you do leave them off. :(

Code: [Hide] [Select]

					$html = '<object data="emff_player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="200" height="55" align="top" ><param name="FlashVars" value="src=' . $content . '" /><param name="movie" value="emff_player.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="autoplay" value="true" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#f8f8f8" /></object>';

By the way Dave, where exactly are you locating this, because bbCode doesn't work everywhere. :(

What you originally said was for me to Open: /includes/bbcb_mg.php

What I saw was that it displayed the <object> tag that was wrapped by the $html = '. I therefore assumed that I could just copy and past the <object> tag into a BLOCK where I have to use HTML because of the <embedded> PayPal button.

I omitted the complete entry from the bbcb_mg.php and only copied and pasted the <object> tag.

Does that make sense?

Yes it makes sense, but unfortunately it's also open for confirmation when the reply is "It didn't work". :(

Also you can't change the code by adding your url to it etc, because $content replaces the url with whatever you type between the emff tags, and not only that - If you were to remove the var string $content and replace it with your own url - Then every time you try to add a "New" emff - It would always play whatever you changed $content too.

That' why I said to just add the "Auto-Start" parameter to the html string as anything else is either a waste of time, or will cause other problems in the future.. ;)

Ok Thanks.

Now that I have shown how ignorant I am to the world here, I might as well continue.

Is there a way to use the EMFF(MP3) player in a Block where HTML is enabled? Let's forget about the,"AutoPlay" for a second.

Home » CMS » Blocks Management > 3 Column > Add Block > Text or Html Block
The block may be viewed at: Current Commercial on the Top Right Column.

thanks,
Dave

You have the choice of either creating a new html block with whatever you wish to be added to the cms, or edit an existing block in /templates/default/blocks.

If you opt for the second choice then you will no doubt need some extra markup for positioning your added function etc.

Never tried it myself - But see no reason why it can't be done. ;)
