Stephen Bruce Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hi, I'm looking for an MP3 player that will work with the Downloads app so users can upload an MP3 preview with the songs they are uploading for sale. I was hoping for something similar to Beatport where the player appears at the bottom when you click any of the song previews https://www.beatport.com/ Is there a way to do this or can any custom design it for me and how much would it cost? Thanks, Ste Link to comment
Nathan Explosion Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Had a think about your specific use-case on this one, tested it out on an IPS demo, and an update to my HTML Player plugin will be released soon... Link to comment
Stephen Bruce Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Excellent Nathan! Actually I've managed to add an extra field in the Downloads app so users can upload a preview file but currently it just adds a link so you need to download the preview MP3. So i just need something that will automatically convert that MP3 link into a player like the one you have shown above Link to comment
Nathan Explosion Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Well, the option of the plugin is now available too. To change your custom field in to a player, you would need to look at display options etc (if there are any in Downloads, no idea) and I've given tips on how to achieve that on another topic here somewhere.....related to a Pages database.

Stephen Bruce Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Ok, well I'm happy to buy your plugin if it will work for me. Here's screenshots of the extra field settings (there's not many options) and how the preview currently appears on the downloads page. The preview is in a separate part underneath instead of in the description box, as I want people to be able to upload through the site instead of having to upload elsewhere and paste the mp3 link. Can you confirm if your plugin will do what I need it to do? Link to comment

I can guarantee that the plugin will have zero effect on that field, as it is not designed to do so - it is designed to process Content fields only, and will change the content displayed in the 'Description' of the Download, which is what is shown in my screenshot above. Someone who has Downloads might be able to help you with a theme edit to change how that 'Preview' custom field is displayed, if it is possible. Link to comment
Stephen Bruce Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 ah damn, ok Nathan. The search continues then haha. I'm new to the forums so not sure who to ask at the moment. Any ideas or alternative solutions? Any help is appreciated I would settle for the player appearing in the description like in your screenshot, but how can they upload the preview? Can it be done on site or would they need to upload elsewhere and paste a link? Link to comment
Nathan Explosion Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The description is a text editor, just like it is on the forum... Link to comment
Stephen Bruce Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Ah i see! Sorry for all the questions. If I buy your plugin, how do i install it? and are the colours editable as my theme is dark so might need to change it to a different colour than dark gray like your example Link to comment

ACP -> System -> (Site Features) Plugins Changing the colour of the player is outside of the scope of support, sorry - I'm not sure if the <video> and <audio> HTML5 tags can be modified with custom CSS. If you do purchase the plugin and have issues with it, please use the support topic (which you posted in yesterday) Link to comment
Stephen Bruce Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 I've bought it. Im looking to download the new update but I don't see the 1.2.6. only goes up to 1.2.5 Link to comment
Nathan Explosion Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Fixed but.... If you do purchase the plugin and have issues with it, please use the support topic (which you posted in yesterday) Link to comment
