[New Plugin] Simple Flash Mp3 Player flexicontent field

Hi to all,
in order to follow a request from a friend i've implemented a new flexicontent field that allow to upload mp3 files and embed them in a simple mp3 player ( flash-mp3-player.net/ opensource). I've adapted the gallery flashmatic source code modifying where it needed and adding some other functions to render the swf object.

A FEW SCREENSHOTS

1. BACKEND
Creation of a new field of type "Simple Flash Mp3 Player". Available parameters






Field value in New Item / Edit Item


- vers. 0.2 add remote mp3 support


2. FRONT END
Simple view in default template (quick test with no skin and no gradient to fit the specific template look)

- vers. 0.2 add remote mp3 support




CSS
In order to change style edit:
plugins/flexicontent_fields/sfmp3player/css/sfmp3player.css or set your template css class parameter

Skin
To add background skin place images (gif/jpg and i've not tried with png) into dir:
plugins/flexicontent_fields/sfmp3player/images

Configuration / Help
Detail about the simple_mp3_player.swf in
plugins/flexicontent_fields/sfmp3player/config/help.htm. In the same folder you'll find an example of configuration.xml|txt and playlist.txt|xml (not implemented)

Languages:
English
Italian
French (thanks to micker)
German (thanks to Rehne)

Limitation:
- no playlist xml support (the swf player does) and i choose not to implement it because like the filefield plugin you can add any number of files at once
Bug
- It's a minor problem but the fileselement windows popup (Back-end) doesn't underline and strikes files already assigned to items. I would need to modify the original flexicontent "view.html.php" because there's an array of array js who's not supported in the original script (first level only).

Note
I still need to work the code to clean it and i'm not familiar with Subversion so i attach here the file. I take a lot of codes from this site, sharing even if it's a simple plugin it was the least I could do.
If anyone wants to download and test it, i will really appreciate feedbacks or bug reports.

Tested on
Joomla 1.5.24
FLEXIcontent version 1.5.6 beta2 (r948)
Apache 2.2.17 php 5.3.5

thanks

Fantastic,
thanx a lot micker

I've update the post and attached version 0.2, now it support remote mp3 and french translation




If remote Mp3 has a value (and is a valid http url) it has priority over local file.
Just clean the input text if you want to use local.

great work ... thanks

i made a german translation

Regards

Tiny update to fix an error on admin backend (autoplay doesn't have to work on backend, i forgot). Updated the first post with v.0.4

Just a question for flexi developer, if i want to make it compatible to Flexi V2 and joomla 1.6 what tricks i need to use (i use global frameworks and all the usual stuff but i need to change something to let i work with V2?)

hello
for me it doesn't work if i load mp3 player in backend all script or out ....

Hello,

before anything else, I want to thank you for this plugin, I really appreciate it.

Though, using this plugin, I came up with some errors:

1. When I try to choose a local file to insert, this seems to work, but in the frontend the mp3 file won`t play. I then copied the generated link (local file)into the field remote file, where it showed up as a link to the whole absolute path (http://www....). This works but I think this wasn`t meant this way.
2. In the file-path (lokal or remote) there is missing one last closing slash before my filename, what also causes the mp3 not to play. But I was able to put the slash in manually. Works this way.
3. When I activate to show up the question mark in the player bar view it won`t show the filename, but only "00:00:00 inconnu"

Though all this does not cause, that I couldn`t use the plugin, I thought you would like to know about these issues.

Thank you again.

Thank you for the plugin! I have a small problem though, likely the same as shalb54 mentioned before: my mp3 plays in BE, but not in FE.

Details:
- installed plugin -> ok
- created field of type ~'mp3' -> ok
- connected field to type ~'audio' -> ok
- created audio-item, uploaded mp3 file ->
- - tested with both media and secure; paths are ok
- listened to mp3 file via BE > item > your player -> ok
- pressed playbutton in FE -> silence
- flash var in FE-DOM: 'showlist=1&mp3=components/com_flexicontent/medias/440hz-5sec.mp3&title=Track+cv4Oze&showinfo=0&showvolume=1&volume=75&volumewidth=40&volumeheight=8&autoplay=0&loop=&shuffle=&showloading=autohide&loadingcolor=494845&showplaylistnumbers=&playlistcolor=66645C&playlistalpha=30&showslider=0&sliderwidth=20&sliderheight=6&slidercolor1=8F8E8B&slidercolor2=6C6A63&sliderovercolor=AFC400&bgcolor=FFFFFF&bgcolor1=444444&bgcolor2=000000&textcolor=66645C&currentmp3color=AFC400&buttonwidth=20&buttoncolor=8F8E8B&buttonovercolor=AFC400&scrollbarcolor=585857'

what can i do to fix this?

thanks for your advice and your work!
