This is the new version of 1pixelout audio flash player (version 2) for Joomla 1.5. Most of the code has been re-written to support Joomla 1.5 latest version, including the new upcoming Joomla 1.6

What has been included in this new release (1pxielout audio player 2.0):

• Compatible with Joomla 1.5 and 1.6
• Play more than one song with next/prev buttons
• Resizable flash player width
• Show remaining time (instead of lapsed time)
• Customise Artist and/or Title information displayed for every song (ie override the idtag to insert your own)
• Can play mp3 file from an external url
• Added volume control
• Translation for different languages (en/it/fr/de/es)
• More xhtml standard compliant

That's right, we finally have a new update of 1pixelout player for Joomla and this one works on J1.5 and 1.6 version. I know some changes in the new Joomla has rendered this plugin somewhat unusable but these have been fixed in this new version.

What's more, it's been quite a significant update (added volume control and width size is changeable too) so maybe it will get it's own one page website? we'll see...

I have to say, a big thanks to Marco Del Percio who decided to rewrite most part of the outdated scripts and have add swfobject js to make it more standard compliant.

Stay tune for more updates.

Oh! here's a demo: http://www.fabc.eu/1pixelout-audio-player-demo

(You can even add more than one track now, sweet!)

From the article i wrote about getting uploadprogress extension working on MAMP 1.9. Someone left a comment asking how to get uploadprogress php extension working under MAMP 1.9 with PHP 5.3.

So i decided to recompile it and this one seems to work, at least it is now showing up in the phpinfo page for PHP 5.3

If you want to test it out, here it is: uploadprogress 1.0.1

INSTALL:
Unzip the file and place uploadprogress.so file into directory: /MAMP/bin/php5.3/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/

Open up file in text editor: /MAMP/config/php5.3/php.ini

and add this line below:

extension=uploadprogress.so


to php.ini file where it shows the other extensions (around line 530 - 540)

At this stage initial, i haven't been able to test uploadprogress since Imagefield running Drupal 6.17 does not seem to work on PHP 5.3 (though i could be wrong?).

Please leave comment and let me know. read more »
