Embedded MP3 Attachment Player

[admin]

This is a simple modification that will embed an "attached" MP3 player so the file can be played inline. It uses a simple flash player from Google. There are many MP3 player mods but none that I could find that would actually play an attached file and in my community this was a the most missed feature since the upgraded to 4.x.

Open up postbit_attachment and add this at the very bottom:


<!-- Embed Player -->
<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3247397568-audio-player.swf?audioUrl=attachment.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}attachmentid={vb:raw attachment.attachmentid}&amp;d={vb:raw attachment.dateline}" width="400" height="27" allowscriptaccess="never" quality="best" bgcolor="#ffffff" wmode="window" flashvars="playerMode=embedded" />
</vb:if>
<BR />
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
<a href="/register.php">Register for free</a> today to download files or play them directly in our embedded media player
</vb:if>
<!-- /Embed Player -->

I have added a register option for guests, if you have attachments viewable by guests though feel free to strip that out of this code.
