Last update is on June-19-2009 - v1.0.2 Beta

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 3.7.x and 3.8.x as well as vBulletin 3.6.x and earlier

Now, to speed up the introduction, here's the small summary of DnP Instant! Musicbox with some pictures.

Features :

1. Lightweight, Fast response and 95% AJAX powered musicbox. Supports cross browser, non-javascript browser and greets search engines friendly.
2. More than 50 customizations (and continue to grow each version) to fit your own way. Explore them yourself!
3. Allows the creation of Singer Biography , Album Records and Lyric for song.
4. Members can rate the song based on Who Like It feature.
5. Playlist is built-in. Data is saved on cookie file for fast access and database safe.
6. Templates are built-in. No necessary change is required.
7. Easy installation process.
8. Fully integrated with vBulletin forum. Tested on 3.6.x, 3.7.x and 3.8.x

These blocks can display new topics, new singers or albums, showing announcement, list of friend websites, random songs, etc...Check them out too if you have time.

HOW-TO & F.A.Q

1 - Add musicbox link to navigation bar. Wut to do!?

Edit your style template
AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Your Style template to edit > Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > navbar.

FIND :
ADD BEFORE THAT :
Change the word Instant! Musicbox to anything you'd like. Save the change.

2 - I make a category in AdminCP. When I post a song I see no category appears in the list OMG!!
Category Level 1 is considered as Parent Category therefore it cannot be used. Create a sub-category under it and you are set. Currently it only supports 2 Levels of Category.

3 - Hey how I post youtube video clip?
On the Post page there are four small buttons next to the URL box, with the icons of Youtube, Metacafe,Dailymotion and Googlevideo. If a youtube link looks like this
The bold part is the only part you need to copy, and then click the Youtube button to paste the link in the box. The you choose Flash for the File type and Set!




4 - Can my members add artist ? or Album ?
No.

Why?!
Imagine how a mess it would become if one member adds "Lady Gaga" , then another adds "ladyGaga" and his friend who also plays the forum does "Gaga lady", but a random member does not like those names and wants to do "Gaga my luv" for himself while a noob dont know wat and dont know how where he accidentally creates "Lazy haha" into the list.. The same reason applies for Album records therefore only Admin can create the artist and album. It might be a hard work but you want your musicbox looks good with working portraits and correct information.

5 - silveryhat I cannot edit any song I post, a no permission page appears, are they gonna be perpetual that way now :(( ?
OK.
dat wasnt the answer!
^^ you have not fully explored the configuration file. Go ahead and disable this part
6 - I mean no harm but. WTH should I look if I want to delete/edit a song ?
Definitely not in H :D , take a peek



Please note, the two buttons there, Edit only shows to poster of the song OR administrator. Delete button appears for Admin only.
