If I can get it to work I will buy this product. The CoffeeCup team assures you that this is leagl as long as there is no link for downloading your music.
Ok, I have uploaded the Jukebox files to my server, they automatically place them on the root of my site,
http://mydomain.com:2082/frontend/x/files/index.html
Then I am instructed to paste a code onto the web page I wish the jukebox to be seen on. I assume that I needed a block for that, right. I tried all the code blocks, but none work. I then tried an article much like I did the You Tube blocks I have, a partial success but still the jukebox does not show.
Here is the code I was told to add.
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="288" height="241" id="CoffeeCup" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="myjukebox.swf"/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="myjukebox.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="288" height="241"
name="CoffeeCup" scale="noscale" salign="lt" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>
Wouldn't I also need the URL added to that for the jukebox to show? Should I have uploaded it to the forum root instead of my site root?
And which block would be best for showing this or should it be an article?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Yes you do need the URL..
If you add the complete URL it really doesn't matter where you uploaded it....
http://www.marion.com/myjukebox.swf -- absolute path will work.
Thanks, Jeff. Do I just past the URL at the end of the code?
Yes Marion,
You need to add it in two places..
Example:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"
width="288" height="241" id="CoffeeCup" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.manichols7.com/myjukebox.swf"/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="http://www.manichols7.com/myjukebox.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="288" height="241"
name="CoffeeCup" scale="noscale" salign="lt" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>
That should work for ya.
Which would be best, an article or a script-block?
scriptbox definitely!
Still, not working! What else needs to be done? Any ideas?
You need ask Aku..
he's good with this stuff, shoot him a PM im sure he wont mind..thats really all i know about it..?
sorry..
Thanks Jeff, I'll wait for him. :)
I don't think this can be done. I check with the support for CoffeCup and they referred me to adding it to my space, but that did not work for me.
The only thing I can think of doing is adding it to one of my web pages and then adding a link to it. It isn't what I want so I most likely will not buy this product.
Marian, Check so the permissions are correct for the files and folders you have uploaded to your forum. /755 or 777
666 / 644
Ok, will do.
Ok, I did change all the permission for the jukebox, I then copied the code from here and added it to the scriptbox and activated. It still is not showing up.
http://manichols7.com/forum/index.php (http://manichols7.com/forum/index.php)
I did it.
I had uploaded it to the root of my web site which is the default place for the player. BUT, it gave me the option of WHERE I wanted it uploaded, so I change that to the forum root. I then created a scriptbox and copied the code they gave me, just like it it was with no altercations. And it worked. I also installed their flash video player. They can be seen on my site now. I will buy both of these products. Thanks y'all for your suggestions.
Oh yes, I didn't need to change anything else, not even permissions. I did remove or delete all of the original files from the server and uninstalled the player from my computer and started all over again. I actually got the video player installed first on my first attempt, I then applied that knowledge to the jukebox with successful results.
Is it a Free player?
No, they are about $30 or so apiece.
Correction, $34 & $39

Do you gotta have your own MP3 files, or can you download from the net too?
ps.
Marion, you need to add your Player in a PoPup Window ...
What I am going to do is convert my CDs that I own to MP3s files and use them. My collection are mostly oldies, from rock to country.
Pop up window? Would that keep the song playing no matter where I went on the forum and stop it from starting over each time? I wouldn't know how, do you?
sure,
i show you how..hang on a sec. popup allows your music to keep on playing going from page to page..it doen't reload with the page. :)
First make a mp3.html page: then Upload it to Forum Root:
<html>
<head>
<title>MP3 Player</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="black">
<div align="center"><embed src="http://www.yoursite.com/to-Your-plalyer-code" width="300" height="300" /></div>
</body>
</html>
*Then create a new Script-box and add the Link to the popup window which contians your player:
<a href="javascript:newWin=void(window.open('mp3.html','newWin','resizable=0,status=0,menubar=0,toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,directories=0,width=300,height=300,top=0,left=0'))">MP3 Player</a>
Add there you go...just add your player -- width="000" and height="000">
I guess I didn't do it exactly right. I'll attempt it again.
I am having no luck with this, the popup thing. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I'll try again tomorrow.

Jeff, can you help out just a little more? I have tried everything with no luck.
In this section here,

</html>My player code, I tried adding the code generated by the program but it still is not a popup block.

And here, can you be a little clearer, show with a 'dummy' address where I would place this the link.
I'm sorry to be so much trouble but if I can't get this to work properly I won't use it.
Thanks,
Marion.
it's no trouble at all..& can you share your player code with me and I will gitter working?
