    This gadget does one simple thing!
    It turns plain links to mp3 files into an icon which, when clicked, will play the sound.
    v1.0.2 - Includes contextual link to the .js file
    v1.0.1 - Includes Dinoboff's improved link to the .js file
    v1.0.0 - Uses new pathfinder function to linked files.

    Has anybody been able to get this to work?

    edit: ah, I found the problem - all the links to files in the extensions folder do not work.

    fo fix - manually change all links to extensions/Dplayer/player.js to absolute links. there's probably a better way but that'll do for now.

    Might be worth implementing the new pathfinder function wanderer?

    This is still half broken for me.

    Where default.php wrrites out the <script> tag is still a bad path.

    I use this version of default.php:
    <?php
    /*
    Extension Name: Dplayer
    Extension Url: http://lussumo.com/addons/
    Description: Turns plain links to mp3 files into playable icons.

    */


    if (in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array('index.php', 'categories.php', 'comments.php', 'post.php'))) {

    class debplayer extends Control {
    function debplayer(&$Context) {
    $this->Name = 'debplayer';
    }

    function Render() {
    //echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="extensions/Dplayer/player.js"></script>'; //commented out
    }
    }

    $debplayer = new debplayer($Context);
    $Page->AddRenderControl($debplayer, $Configuration['CONTROL_POSITION_FOOT'] - 5);

    // new line below
    $Head->AddScript('extensions/Dplayer/player.js');
    }
    ?>

    Well mate, that does not work for ME!

    It adds the link to the script too early before the page fully loads and it does not find the links to work on.

    Wanderer, I'm not looking for a fight - I'm just telling you that I am having problems with your script.

    If you'd rather not use the $Head-> method then please address the fact the Render() function is injecting a relative path that won't work in every installation. Most crucially a "default" installation.

    Also, there are ways other than the onload event or adding the script at the bottom of a page to get an event to fire when the DOM is ready or the page has rendered. You might want to look into these.

    Hey emsef mate, I wasn't picking a fight, and my installation is as "default" as it can be as far as I know.

    I have implemented guru Dinoboff's method, it works for me, but then all the others (except yours) worked too.

    Version 1.0.1 coming up...

    Yes of course I test, it always works for me.
    Line 20 is Dinoboff's fix, it worked for me but then it wasn't broken for me.

    I don't understand what could be so different, I even installed Friendly URLs to test it with, works a treat.

    Sorry about the hassles, just fix it for your set-up (make the paths absolute), nothing in the actual player script has changed, the problem seems to be the path to the files in the extensions/Dplayer folder.

    Sorry, I didn't checked if the there was a Context property. Fixed with the following code:if (in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array('index.php', 'categories.php', 'comments.php', 'post.php'))) {

    class debplayer extends Control {
    var $Context;
    function debplayer(&$Context) {
    $this->Name = 'debplayer';
    $this->Context = &$Context;
    }

    function Render() {
    echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="'. $this->Context->Configuration['WEB_ROOT'] .'extensions/Dplayer/player.js"></script>';
    }
    }

    $debplayer = new debplayer($Context);
    $Page->AddRenderControl($debplayer, $Configuration['CONTROL_POSITION_FOOT'] - 5);

    // new line below
    $Head->AddScript('extensions/Dplayer/player.js');

    So Dinoboff, it adds the player.js twice?

    Once in the head section and again at the end of the body section?

    I beg to differ mate, it, gets added in the head and in the body sections.

    What confuses me is that the head reference is relative and the body reference is absolute, they both work for me, but others say the relative method does not work.

    The other consideration, due to the way the script works, is that it must load after the page load is complete.

    I took out $Head->AddScript('extensions/Dplayer/player.js'); so it only loaded at the end of the body section and it worked.

    Then I took out the function Render() and put back $Head->AddScript('extensions/Dplayer/player.js'); and although the .js file was added to the head correctly, the script failed to activate because the page had not loaded yet.

    I have problems with version 1.0.2 in Firefox, the play-icon is simply not displayed. In IE6 and Opera everything is ok. It's a problem only in my forum, since the demosite (mentioned in the howto.txt) displays it correctly in Firefox.

    OK, I can confirm your test works on Safari and it does not in Mac Firefox 2.0.0.3.
    I don't understand because it works for me on all browsers.

    The .js file is found but something is stopping the script from firing.

    Maybe one of the many errors the page generates...

    ok, so there's no problem with the player add-on.
    i guess i have to live for a while with that problem, cause the vanilla green style hasn't been updated to match vanilla 1.1.x criteria and, as i just decided to start learning css/xhtml and so on it will take a good while til i'll be able to do fixes myself ;-)

    But the problem is that attachement extention doesen't create direct url to file, but something like this :
    http://mysite.com/discussions/?PostBackAction=Download&AttachmentID=6
    and Dplayer doesen't recognize is it .mp3 or different file type.

    Surely though, the mp3 file has a URL you can point to?

    In any case Dplayer is complete as it meets my original needs and no further development is planned.

    Feel free to use it to develop your own if you wish.

    The .swf is the Flash engine that drives it, a mini Flash application actually.
    The images are required for the interface, make your own if you like, that's why they are external to the .swf

    OK, just put this in the head section...

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://path.to/wherever/Dplayer/player.js"></script>

    If it does not work there put it as the last thing in the body section.

    Once the page can access the script use something like this anywhere on the page...

    <a href="http://wherever.the.sound/file/is/sound.mp3">
