I kind of have a problem with the current mp3 uploads. The default mp3 uploads don't have any way of labeling what the mp3 is. And I'm not seeing a way to customize this without hacking the actual template files (because I am not seeing a way to replace tags). So I'm left with this: Can the developers look into: Embedded mp3 players that handles tracks? A way to embed pdfs so that a click doesn't download the file? The way my community works, is that we review music in specific forums. And it's very common to attach multi-movement works in a topic or a post, along with a pdf score. Maybe I can get lucky here and the developers can code this in for me? 😀

Man, if you could extend your app to work in topics and posts, I'd hold off on upgrading, and wait to purchase your app lol. Here's an example of how I currently am implementing mp3 tracks and pdf embeds: Example Topic The pdf display is just a simple click, that takes the user to the embedded pdf file. The mp3 player I have is soundplayer, but could be whatever player that allows multi tracks. Let me know if you'd be up for extending your app. The less maintenance I have to do with invision, the better since I am working on another large software product.

Hi @Matt, I'm a little late to the game, but it appears that making template edits is no longer possible. I needed some type of way to read mp3 files, and auto embed a custom mp3 player into a post (I use soundmanager). But I also needed a way to take pdfs and have them clickable via a Google pdf reader. If this is no longer possible with v5, then I will accept it (less work on my end to maintain something ha!), but I just want to make sure before I do the upgrade.

Thanks! Read through it, and posted a question there.

Ok with this new system, I'm wondering if I can achieve the same functionality I currently have. Let me explain what I'm doing: With mp3 uploads, I have my own mp3 player, because it accounts for multiple movements (multiple tracks). I also coded in a nice frontend to allow embedded pdfs using google pdf viewer. My method overrides the default mp3 player behavior using template hooks. It also removes the "embedded attachments, such as pdf uploads". Since I'm making template edits, I wonder if Listeners is what I need? Would it be a content listener? Or is there no longer a way to make a template edit replacement (by inserting custom functionality)?

Ok perfect, this definitely is working out well. I have a follow-up question about hooks. My old code looks like this: class player_hook_attachedFile extends HOOKCLASS_ { public static function hookData() { ... } } Is there anything I have to change here? I'm assuming you renamed hooks to theme editor?

One more question (possibly a follow up). In order to update custom apps, do you suggest "creating a new app" from scratch in dev tools. Then create all modules, or other files through dev. Then copy over the logic from the old app file by file? I tried installing my app just to see if it works, but it doesn't. Something about a namespace. Or is the method even easier? Should I just change the namespaces (by following the patterns in the forum app, etc)? The problem is that if I copy over my app in the applications folder, it says its out of date and must be reinstalled. But I can't reinstall it via the tar file because its out of date.

Oh man, ok, lol. Will have to put aside a few days for this then. Any chance I can get my hands on the new sdk so I can get started on this?

Will my custom applications work out of the box? I hope so, if not, I have a lot of work to do.
