Display MP3 Download Link

You could do this quite easily with a view, or custom template. We use a custom template on the HTB website ( http://www.htb.org.uk ). I'm more inclined to direct people to do that rather than modify the module to display it because they will have greater control over the theming and location of the link.

Let me know what you think.

I am trying to do a similar thing. Would you elaborate on this solution? Cheers

I think you may want to check out the Audio module. It's not as customizeable as being able to just stick this player in where you want it, but it has the Audio Import, Audio Player (you can use the same audio player), and download link, GetID3 info, etc, all in one deal. All you do is import your audio files, add what details necessary to them (if the getId3 part doesn't work right, or if you want to add additional info, and submit. Viola! You've got a node that has the player, download link, summary if you like, etc. It really does work well for sermons.

Another option would be to use the filefield module to set a link to your mp3 file location (I think) - I think I got it to do this when I was trying to get the player to point to a file on my site...

And yet another option is to use the swf tools. This is one I may eventually go with, but you have to jump into the code a little bit to get it to work - basically, it does pretty much the same thing as this module, I think.

Easiest overall on my experience is the audio module.

Hey, I like that method. It looks nice, neat, and simple - to the point, and not overly complex. And using that method, like you did, I suppose you can customize the node anyway you want. Thanks for posting!

By the way, you need to add your church site over at: http://groups.drupal.org/node/2700 (of course, totally voluntary, but it's a great idea for churches to be able to learn from each other).

Yup ConTemplate is a good alternative if you don't want to manually edit the template files. Thanks for sharing.

I have managed to accomplish this by doing the following:
Installed FileForce module.
Edited the node-audio-tpl.php file (for custom use of mp3 player module) and inserted the following piece of code:
<a href="?q=download/<?php print $node->field_mp3['0']['filepath']; ?>">DOWNLOAD</a> You can stick that in a div.
Since I am not using clean URLs hence the ?q= before the link starts.
If you follow FileForce documentation than you'll know why there's the entrydownload/ before the link.
This works on Firefox and Safari.

Cheers for a great bunch of modules that come together nicely!

Awesome

This has only taken me 3 months to figure out since people say "I just used this", or "just use contemplate" Well almost all of what I found wasn't helpful, so here is what I did so the next person can actually figure this out.

create a new tpl.php for your node.
>find the node.tpl.php file in your theme, copy it and rename it node-content_type.tpl.php (replace content_type with the name of your content type)
edit the file and find

  <div class="content">
    <?php print $content ?>
  </div>

change it so that it reads

<div class="content">
  <?php print $content ?>
    <div class=mp3>
        <a href="<?php print $node->field_mp3_audio[0]['filepath'] ?>">  //link to file
             <?php print $node->field_mp3_audio[0]['filename'] ?>  //link text - could replace with "download"
        </a>
    </div>
</div>

What this does
create a div with a class mp3 so that you can format it with css
add a link using the variable 'filepath'
label the link with the variable 'filename'
you could also put "download" or "get the file"

in my style.css file I added this class

.mp3 a[href$='.mp3'] {
background: transparent url('images/download.png') no-repeat;
padding: 2px 0 5px 80px; /* left padding is width of download button image */
}

This adds a picture that says "download" to the left of the link text on mp3 links only.

For what it's worth, the contemplate module was a bigger headache than it was worth, although it did eventually lead me to reading a "how to" that steered me to creating my own tpl.php file for this.

Since most of the posts that had anything to do with mp3player module were more than a year old, I thought the likelihood of getting a timely response would be poor.

But since you offered:
Have you gotten the RSS feed to show the link and file in iTunes?
If so what did you do?
