LOL, well mine doesn't have the scroll down bar with all the songs in the playlist...

Are you sure you got it from my site??

[XtremeCuztoms]

i went to block_playlist.xml and edited the track title, song and location. and we got the scroll bar. after adding morethen 1 song the scroll bar becomes active. although after looking at your site, i kinda like the version with the floater.

[Heckler]

Got it to work Xtreme, If you want the player with the floater, you can get it at ehpdesigns.com

I just wanted a nice mp3 player that plays from a list.xml but that i can have in a side block and be able to have it pop up in a new window so members can search the site while still being able to listen to the songs (Don't know if this is what your looking for)

I found a decent player at psychosquids(you can change background in any paint program) site and after searching for days on how to make it pop up in new window, i found this code, ( might work with your player ) just change the link to your player and the size of the popup window that you prefer.
Put before the html player code:

Quote::

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- Begin function popUp(URL) { day = new Date(); id = day.getTime(); eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=200,height=260');"); } // End -->

and this after the player code

Quote::

<form> <input type=button value="Open Popup Window" onClick="javascript:popUp('http://.../mp3/mp3player.swf')"> </form>

Works great

Kind of reviving an old thread here, so please forgive me.

I am pretty much a newborn baby to the whole DF CMS system. I was trying to get this music module and block working on my site.

Now, I have no problems if I edit the .php and tell it what song to play, but for whatever reason I can't get it to play off the XML playlist. It just sits there looking to connect.

I am sure it's something retarded I am doing but I've been messing with it for a couple hours now and I haven't gotten it. I "thought" it was as simple as replacing the "mp3/song#1.mp3" from the default .php file to "player/block_playlist.xml" but it's obviously not that simple.

Any suggestions or do you need any more info from me? Thanks in advance gang.

[Malachi1975]

Okay, well nix that first part. I finally got it working fine in the block, but the float still doesn't want to play off the playlist. I did change the "mp3_float.php" file as well to match the same settings as the in block player...but not dice.

Watch though, I will probably figure it out and have to come back and say I figured it out here.

Go figure, it's usually when I break down and ask for help on forums that I suddenly figure something out.

EDIT- I should say that I still haven't been able to get a "playlist" to show on the player itself in either the blocked player or the float.

It should just work to put "player/block_playlist.xml" in both files

To get the playlist showing make the mp3 player height like 180 and then let the display height be 100. For the width I would put 150. If you change it to this you should see the playlist.

Woot! Thanks for that info on how to get the playlist to show (you know...I prolly could have read that above )

The float still isn't working for me though. I can actually see the songs in the playlist on the float, but it can't seem to connect...so I am obviously missing something silly here too.

EDIT: Oddly enough, to get the blocked player to find the playlist I actually had to point it to "http://www.gametechworld.com/player/block_playlist.xml"

"player/block_playlist.xml" wasn't working for me. Now, like I said, the .php files for both the blocked player and the float are identical, but the float just sits there spinning away unable to connect.

SECOND EDIT: Actually, even more odd is that the float player won't read or see anything if I use the full url "http://www.gametechworld.com/player/block_playlist.xml" like the blocked player does (in fact, that was on the only way the blocked play would work).

I am starting to wonder if there's something hinky with my host because it is "trying to connect" on the float...it's just "waiting for gametechworld.com" forever.

Can you post the code of your mp3 player block and the mp3 float, it is easier to help then.
