Music on the Site - Page 8

Message # 1 | 12:28 PM 2008-03-19

You can insert mp3 player into any page or message. It may serve to let visitors listen to various compositions. It may be a background for you site (do not abuse this capability, don’t forget that mp3 files weight quite a lot, and not all users have broadband Internet access. They won’t be able to load your site in case of automatic playback)

It is used in the following way:
By means of the BB-code:

Code

[audio] [/audio]

Having entered the following

Code

[audio]http://forum.ucoz.com/i_love_ucoz.mp3[/audio]

we'll get

You can also insert a player with the help of JS-code.
To get it use Multimedia - > Insert audio (mp3)
or Multimedia - > Upload audio (mp3) [after uploading press JS-code near necessary file]
As a result, for the mp3 file at http://forum.ucoz.com/i_love_ucoz.mp3
we'll get the following code

Code

You can also insert it into any place of your site. Besides, it has controlled parameters (settings), which we’ll describe below.

Quote

auto=0;small=0;color=0055e9;loop=0;textoff=0

Values in bold type may be changed from 0 to 1. In this way, you’ll enable them. By means of "color" specify code color.
So, if we change in the code
auto=0 for auto=1 - a song will be played automatically (be careful with this feature, think of those who have slow Internet and paid traffic).

small=1 – will display a small player of two buttons. Here it is:

loop=1 – a file will be played back non-stop (till you press stop)

textoff=1 – will remove text (e.g. "i_love_ucoz.mp3" in the example above)

color=0055e9 (player color management) –instead of 0055e9 write the code of a desired color. Codes can be found out from tables or in Photoshop by clicking on a color.
Example. Let’s take the code of the black color - 000000

Code

we'll get:

Music as a background

Code

where
URL – file name
loop – number of repeats, if loop="infinite" - unlimited

autostart sets possibility to start while loading, takes on the values "true" or "false"

loop sets number of repeats, takes on the values "true" or "false"

Code

As you can see from the example you can insert Flash files, as well as video and audio.

You can write a code with minimal number of attributes

Code

Music in a pop-up (new) window

There is nothing difficult, use JavaScript

On the page where you want to place the button "Play music" insert the following code between the < head> tags

Code

width=300 height=300 – width, height

http://www.ucoz.com/music.html – link to the page with your music

Then put in any place of the page either the link

Code

<a href="#" onClick="openWindow()">Press to play music</a>

or the button

Code

<button onClick="openWindow()">Press to play music</button>
