[MindTrix]

Ohh no not the now playing hack :)

Thanks mate this will come in handy on my forum, Thank you

[Chris Gwynne]

Great job Dan, I'll be using this when the time comes round! :D

[Koutaru]

Pfft, and you didn't know what to hack? This is great :) will look into tonight

[Dan]

Technically I already hacked this. I just upgraded it to vB3.

[Koutaru]

I figured that would be your first vb3 hack here (seeing it at vbulletin.nl)

[MarkB]

Would have been nice to have been told about this, since I created the original one ;)

[gmarik]

It would be cool if you hack could read my:
1) winamp playlist
2) Windows media player playlist

and copy info from them - maybe you should ask some help at the winamp board?

[Dan]

Sorry Man, I thought you had disappeared or something and I had already hacked it in for vB3 a couple months ago. If you want credit or something I can give it to you. But I really didn't know you even created the original one.

[flamingpeach]

This is a great hack, and I can't wait to install it.

The only thing is, I'm new to this, and at the risk of looking stupid, what do you mean when you say

"-----------
|Run Query|
-----------

ALTER TABLE post ADD nowplaying VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL"

:ermm:

I'm not sure where to do this, and its probably very simple and obvious, but like I said, I'm new. :disappointed:

Thanks

[MindTrix]

Everyone starts somewhere mate ;)

A query is basically a piece of code that needs to be run on your MYSQL database, Usualy in PHPMYADMIN that your host should have linked you too, or you will find in your hosts Control Panel.

[mmw]

In phpMyAdmin select the database then click on query and just past the code from above and click submit query. If you don't have access to phpmyadmin or something similar just email your webhosts asking them to do it for you :)

[flamingpeach]

Thanks guys, I appreciate it :D

thanks mindtrix for reply i was mid-typing when I recieved a message saying you replied with the answer.

Thanks everyone so far that has installed this hack!

[MindTrix]

I know the feeling Dan, your half way writting a response then someoen else posts it :)

[TheAnt]

I may actually use this mod. It'll be easier than having it done via Profile Field.

thanks for the add-on yabba I'll add a link to the first post.

[SiXXGuNNZ]

here is the way I modded the postbits, regular and legacy, this puts the nowplaying box under the attachments in a box like the attachments use



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



attached are examples :)

[Dan]

thanks for doing that I just put it in a place i could easily find a spot to put it. If you wouldn't mind I would like to add this to the install file.

[SiXXGuNNZ]

go for it, my members loved this for vb2, so I am grateful you did this for vb3, if you need the rockin' out mullet smilie, I will attach it just in case :)

[flamingpeach]

I installed this and my members are using and loving it. The only thing they have mentioned is that sometimes they forget to fill in the form, and would like to go back and edit thier song in or correct their spelling mistakes in the song title etc.

Would there be a way to modify a template or one of the php pages in order to show the "now playing" field after a member clicks his or her edit button?

Just curious :o

[Brad]

It is not hard to add that to the modification but I dont have time to document the changes atm, ill post them later on today when I find the time.

[NuclioN]

It's nice Sixxgunzz but the fieldset/legend lines are always white and on a dark style it looks terrible. Is there a way to color the lines in these fieldset blocks?

[MindTrix]

Hey Dan, you might want to add in the instructions when editin the postbit template, to edit the postbit_legacy one aswell ;)

[Dan]

I will when i get home... not home at this current time... it is simple to do though.

[SiXXGuNNZ]

It's nice Sixxgunzz but the fieldset/legend lines are always white and on a dark style it looks terrible. Is there a way to color the lines in these fieldset blocks?
I was looking thru the templates and couldn't find the info that tells vb what the legend is supposed to look like, all we have to do is find where that is and then it should be easy as pie.

[SiXXGuNNZ]

it is easy, in the style's css

[proxyMX]

hey got a problem
I want to

1. Limit the characters that can be input in this field because it can squish the postbit up.
2. When posting with a new thread, i get one of the de-notations as used in the code as in <--- Now Playing then it goes to the box
3. I want to write above the input "Song now playing: (Not Required)
4. I want to be able to have this input box BELLOW the post where you can add attachments etc.

[MrWee]

4. I want to be able to have this input box BELLOW the post where you can add attachments etc.

instead of adding the <!-- nowplaying field --> section after the <!-- /subject field --> as instructed in the orignal instructions, replace it after this instead:

[Dan]

Sorry... at this time my computer is down and I'm unable to help support my hack currently. Hopefully I'll be up and running again in the next few weeks. I am sorry to anyone this may trouble.

[MrWee]

Anyone works on Now Playing in Quick Reply Box ?

Greets yabba
Yeah, i also got it in the quick reply box, although it doesn't look very pretty.

i put the same <!--Now Playing --> block of code in the "showthread_quickreply" template
after this:



Code:

I dunno if that was the best place to put it, but i have it centered under the text input field, and it works, so it's good for me :)

almost impossible, not with out a plugin to ie

I was only messing about - it's a simple hack. And yours is probably better than my slap-dash vB3 effort anyway LOL

Good on yer matey!

[adusei]

... very nice hack, thanks for posting!
One question:
how do I get the text inserted to my new field (e.g. nowplaying) into the searchindex? If I'm now searching for that inputs, it's not working. Would be great to get a help;

regards,

adusei

[amseven]

is this hack compatible with RC2?

[yabba]

jepp. it works perfectly with RC 2

[Ky Kiske]

jepp. it works perfectly with RC 2Mine isn't working...I can't get it to post the Test

EDITTED IN:
My custom code had some missing variables.

[amseven]

thanks for the reply. Im somewhat of a newbie when it comes to adding hacks so I have just one question, how would I go about doing this..
-----------
|Run Query|
-----------

ALTER TABLE post ADD nowplaying VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL

any help would be much appreciated.

[adusei]

[QUOTE]
Just run SQL-Query in your admincp and add

ALTER TABLE post ADD nowplaying VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL

in the editorfield.
Then follow the rest of the install-steps.

Regards,
adusei

[amseven]

excellent, thanks for the reply.

One question:
how do I get the text inserted to my new field (e.g. nowplaying) into the searchindex? If I'm now searching for that inputs, it's not working. Would be great to get a help;


Ok, again:

I changed the nice hack for my board. The input will now be added to the title of the thread. But two things I can`t fix:

1.) The input only appears on showthread.php, not at forumdsplay.php, where I like to get it too!

2.) The input isn't accessable for the search. How is that to be changed?

Any ideas?

Best regards,

adusei

Why would you want to show it on the forumdisplay.php page?

Also what is the reason for searching this? I can do both of them but it will take time. I'd just like to know the reason why you would need these features as I don't really see them as much of a use.

[adusei]

Hi Dan,
thx for your reply!
Of course, it sems to be somehow senseless, but I ty to explain.

I need more than the one input in the editor, because I want (somehow) "force" the user to give special information. And for those who are not so used to www, PC & Co. it is more easy, when there appears this input-fields.
The board - it's not ready yet - will be for cars and spareparts; so it will be fine, if I get the users to input:

e.g. i.)brand of car / ii.)type / iii.)year /iv.) price ... and so on--------> to let it appear in the threads SUBJECT or TITLE ROW above the message.

The "Nowplayig-Hack" helped me to change my db, to insert the additional fields etc. I must say that I'm an absolute beginner and that this hack took me a lot of steps forward - although I don't need, what the hack is for originally! So I appreciate the hack and the work the author did!!!

Everything is working with it - but only my "connected" thread-title appears, when showthread.php is opened - I want it to be seen also, when forumdisplay.php is opened.

And being searchable should this "puzzled" title too - I gess now it is clear why.

I hope now it is understandable, what I mean.

Maybe through this it can be possible to add to the "Nowplaying-Hack" something like a "Boost-Your-editor-Hack"...?

Thanks for your attention,
best regards from

adusei

btw: sorry for my poor English...! :disappointed:

[Owen]

when I post a reply it doesnt show...

Oopsie forgot I was using the legacy postbit.

Is there anyway to show the top now playing poster on forumhome?

[Dan]

Oopsie forgot I was using the legacy postbit.

Is there anyway to show the top now playing poster on forumhome?Um... I don't know what you mean... but yabba did make a mod Last 10 songs on Forumhome (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=455585&postcount=17) by yabba (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/member.php?u=20728)

[Owen]

What I mean is to show the user that has posted the most songs with the now playing function.

example: if john makes 10 posts with now playing and mike make 15 with now playing Mike is the top song poster.

[yabba]

Hmm, thats a good Idea, but not released now.

A script must count the nowplaying field and get an output of the most counted User.

Another and I thing better feature where a chart script for the "Most played Songs" I think that was a truley fine feature too.

That would be very cool. Like a [insert forum name] Top 50 Hitlist

[Owen]

How come my users can use html in their now playing thing? I was able to post an image and other html good in the now playing thing. It actually worked :S

[SlackerAPM]

I have a quick question. I had this hack installed before it went to htl, when it was first released so my nowplaying table already exitsts. Upon upgrading vb I installed the htl and now want to use this hack via the htl, however, it won't get past step 1, running the query, as the table already exists. What should I do to skip that step?

Many thanks.

[Sketch]

Nice hack. Might come in useful, but yeah, I'd like to see it read:

-Winamp playlists
-Windows MEdia Playlists
-iTunes playlists

Not sure how to read all those (Are they in plaintext and what are they called?). Of course if I knew that info, I could add that functionality myself. Ah, shoot...lemme go look. :D

I can't do that unless I knew how to code plug-ins for those, but i don't know how to code plug-ins for them so it is unlikely I'll ever do that.

can u release a text file version :o
please of 1.3

thats not version 1.3 text file thats only htl

Right now I have very tight time restraints. I shall try to make time to make one but you might have to wait till Sunday as I'm unlikely going to be on till then.

ok i converted the htl file into normal text instructions

hmm the htl file was a bit messed up since it asked me to do some file modifications twice for the same ones so was a bit annoying

anyway check the attachment for version 1.3 in normal text format
this should work fine as its a direct copy of the instructions plus i also have it working on my forums

because it doesn't conflict with another hack
a java script one that i use for smilie popup

i think the tables disrupt some of the harmony of the quick reply
as when i use the tables version it also seems to check both the signature and the quote message checkbox's at once

Weird I never had any trouble with that... I'll look at it and maybe change it later as I'm rather tired of looking at the code atm.

well the main benefit is that its tableless so it should be faster

It would be nice if this played the song one was listening too.

That would require coding of the software they use and I'm unable to code that. It allows for the user to specify what they are listening to if they choose to say so.

i realised theres no point to have it on editpost coz it could interfear with the now playing thats already in the post

and it makes sense that u actually have a now playing at the time u made the post

the only way it could work is if the now playing only appeared in editpost if the post didn't have a now playing already

[PalmNut]

Nice piece of work.

I'd also modify the quick reply HTML and JavaScript so that the input field is disabled if threading messages until a message is selected. Like so:

I then installed the Yabba hack "last 10" and have got it working, unless you decide to log out and try to access the page.

My site uses "Vbindex" and I am using Vbulletin 3.03. It does this on my forum index page as well when I try it. I have been working on this for a while now and can't seem to get it to work. Whenever I insert the code into my index.php and save it, I am able to see the last ten displayed properly, but if I log out of the page, it will not let me back in. Web page is http://ashkins.net/forum

This looks like a great hack, I'm eager to install it.

Although I'm wondering if it's just me, or does having the "Now Playing" look like somewhat like a quote or code tag look a little wierd? Is there an easy way to maybe put this somewhere else like on the left where the "Style: Dark Blue" thing is now on these forums, or maybe somewhere else more organized?

Thanks! :D

How can i change the maximum limit of characters that can be entered???When you run the query to add the nowplaying bit to the post table change the VARCHAR(40) to VARCHAR(whatever limit you want). If you've already ran the query just make sure to alter the VARCHAR bit with phpmyadmin or something.

Well, that's what I did and I'm a moron. Should be easy for anyone else.

Or you can just change the maxchars attribute of the input field and not have to screw around with your DB. :)

It is not hard to add that to the modification but I dont have time to document the changes atm, ill post them later on today when I find the time.

Has any one come up with a solution to edit? I am using this hack as thumb caption and I badly need the edit. I have to go in database to make a change.
