Give Drigg the capability for users to upload an Mp3 when submitting a scoop. Have an embedded mp3 player so visitors can play the mp3 right on your Drigg website much like the video player. I think there is one for Drupal? I'm new here so I don't know if it's compatible.

Thanks,
CP

Hi,

I am not entirely sure this is a "valid" feature request for Drigg... It will require a lot of customisation work, with the upload form (which we haven't managed to get it to work just yet) and an embedded MP3 player based on Flash (which I haven't been able to find yet, not GPL and ot *good* anyway).

Sorry, I a marking this as "won't fix"... however, will try and write a tutorial on how to do this when th D6 version of the module is out.

Thanks for the reply.

I've been trying to get this to work with what little skills i have with Pligg, but keeping my eyes peeled on Drigg. There's an outdated (of course) module that uses the flashplayer http://www.1pixelout.net/code/audio-player-wordpress-plugin/ for Pligg; it's just a player so yep not a solution for uploading.

A tutorial will be great, will be looking forward to using Drupal/Drigg
Thanks again!

We can at least offer a way to point the URL to a mp3 file as we do with embedded content. Will work on this

Hi,

Cedric... also, file uploads now *should* work. So *maybe* if we could find MAYBE a GPL player (warning: I looked and looked and looked and looked and couldn't find one under the GPL that I could include in Drigg)...

Bye!

Merc.

I'm using a Creative Commons licensed flash player, Dewplayer
http://www.alsacreations.fr/dewplayer
It's free to use even in a commercial project.

What do you think ?

Hi,

The problem with it is that Drupal.org won't let us add it to Drigg's codebase, because it's not released under the GPL.
We *can* add it; however, we need to 1) Create a special directory in Drigg 2) Give users precise instructions about downloading the player and placing it in the right spot 3) Write the module so that it warns people if the player is not available. So yeah, it's a bit of a hassle. It's *doable* (I mean, some people do do it) but it's a pain.

Bye,

Merc.

Have a look at the audio module, it has mp3 uploads + several flash players (some of which can be themed). There should be a way to incorporate its functionality into Drigg. No sense reinventing the wheel, right?

I modified drigg.embed module to work with Mp3 files.

Here is what I've done :

* added a LGPL image in teaser mode to show that there is a mp3 file
* added pixelout player (the one included in audio.module). I choose the pixelout one, which is skinnable
* added an option to do not link scoop to URL : if you don't want to make a link to the mp3, for copyright reason. So if someone submits a mp3 as the scoop url, the scoop won't be clickable but there will be a player to listen to the mp3.

Hi guys,

We have been trying to get this feature working at WPscoop for external podcast .mp3 files but cannot seem to submit a url with an .mp3 extension as the submission form times out and goes blank.

The url we are trying to submit is below.

http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-34224/TS-152923.mp3

We have enabled the mp3 embedded feature from the drigg control panel and have tried submitting with the settings not to link to file and linked file both settings give the same results.

Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Stuart

Hi,

Hummmmmmm
I think I know what this is.
Can you please open a new issue for this one?

When you do, please let me know what happens if:

* Dirgg's Trackback discovery mechanism gets turned off (DRIGG's! Not Drupal's! It's in Drigg's configuration)

I think it's quite possible that your server is trying to download the whole MP3 file searching for a trackback. This would be a rather important bug to squash.

Please open a new detailed bug.

Bye,

Merc.
