Music Player

[Steve Blane]

Hi. I need some help to mod the Ning music player to allow 100 songs to be seen on the Main page, be able to comment on each song and to split the music into genres.

Anyone out there?

Hello Steve!

This sounds like a pretty tricky modification. If you want all of these features to be exposed in the flash player, you may need to replace the player entirely. Depending on how you'd like this to appear, you actually may want to create a new widget / feature to support this functionality.

If you'd like to investigate making these changes check out /widgets/music. The models folder contains all of the storage information for tracks, and the various controllers do all the work.

Cheers!
Mike

Mike- I need someone to implement this. My skills are not up to the task. Do you know anyone?

Hey Mike, just a quick hack (might not even require code). I notice that the upscale button on the featured music player on the homepage opens the player in a new window which appears to have a web address (but which if you copy and paste into your broswer won't actually show the player). That address ends with some track listing numbers.

Question:

Can you edit e.g. the embed code for that player to enable it to show 99 tracks or do we need to hack the music widget php code inc. controllers?

Best wishes
Pete
