Re: jnm_audio
johno, I think you are confused. This plugin does not install any “advanced options” field.

Re: jnm_audio
I am confused. I am very, very confused. Is there a hole I can crawl into?
Might I just say your plugin runs WONDERFULLY under Apache on Linux and Mac OS X. Thank you for your hard work (and patience!)

Re: jnm_audio
haven’t tested extensively but since upgrading to Txp 4.0.5 -> Firefox 2.0.0.4 is struggling with playing files – system is running at close to 100% processes; maybe a symptom of this is the movable bar is not performing smoothly as before
just wanted to see if others are experiencing same thing – or maybe this is unrelated to 4.0.5 upgrade!

Re: jnm_audio
jnm,
I’m new to textpattern and your wonderful plugin.
I have the plugin installed and ready to go. My basic question is now what?
For example where do I go next in the setup process?
Do I upload files through txp or through ftp to a mp3 directory?
Do I have to add the code to every article when I write it or can I setup a generic code and just tell it what mp3 to load?
I know there is a way to type in the name of the mp3/file in a custom field and then the player reads it but I don’t know how to do that.
If you can point me to a detailed primer to help understand the complete setup process a little better I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks again for such a cool plugin.

Re: jnm_audio
Have you checked out the plugin’s help?
It’s not super detailed, but the plugin is not very complex. ;-)
You can use a custom field to hold the file info, and then a form to output the plugin tag (although that’s almost as much work as just entering the plugin tag for each article). I normally just use the standard ‘files’ directory.
I just use the file ID myself. EG: Listen now: <txp:jnm_audio fileid=“34”>”</txp:jnm_audio>
How you get the MP3’s onto your server is up to you, but most people would FTP, unless the file size is pretty small.

Re: jnm_audio
hey I appreciate your help, Neila, I tried uploading a mp3 through the files but it is not showing in the list. What could I be missing? anyway I’ll keep working on it. thanks.

Re: jnm_audio
Chances are the file is too big.
Many hosts limit the size of file that can be uploaded via PHP to a pretty low limit (my host seems to have a limit of around 2Mb).
In which case, FTP is the way to go.
Cheers

Re: jnm_audio
You were right, When I compressed the file below 2MB it showed up in TXP files menu. As you said thats a bummer but I’ll use your workaround. Also I noticed that when I use the “fileID=” it does not find the file but when I use “URL=” it does. After doing some digging I figured that it is looking for the files in …/files_download/ instead of the ../files directory. Any ideas on how I can redirect without damaging something else? thanks.

.p depending on the host you can actually change your own file upload size limit by editing php.ini found somewhere on your server via ftp. i had to do it for a few clients hosted on godaddy.com who were in need of uploading video files. i changed their 2 meg limit to 50 :)

Re: jnm_audio
Also, don’t forget, when you upload a file via FTP, you then need to go to the files section and assign that file an ID, using the ‘existing file’ drop down.
Cheers

Not with this player. You need to look for another flash player plugin. Sorry :(
