Have a lot of favorite songs? Not sure which video you want to put on your page? The Problem is now solved! You can now create a Music Video PLAYLIST in just a few easy steps.





1. Open Notepad, wordpad, or any other plain text program

2. Copy and paste the following code into the document:






3. Replace SONG NAME HERE with the name of the song.

4. Replace ARTIST HERE with the artist of the song.

5. Replace VIDEO URL HERE with the URL to the video you want. You can get this URL by right click on the video while it is playing, click Properties, then copy the Location URL.


*NOTE - IF YOU WISH TO ADD MORE THAN 5 VIDEOS, JUST PUT THE FOLLOWING TEXT BEFORE THE *










6. Once you have all the videos you want, go to Save As, and save the file as Playlist.asx.

7. Now, upload the Playlist.asx to a host such as Angelfire, or Yahoo's Geocities or your own personal host.

8. Once you have your URL address to your Playlist.asx, Go to the Video Code Generator and put the URL to your Playlist.asx in.


Now put the code provided into your profile, and your video playlist is ready to use! Simple use the Next and Previous buttons to scroll through it!

A quick and easy way to change the layout of your page is to put all your friends and comments into a scroll-box.

This will stop the your friend's comments from stretching your page and causing the layout to mess up!

Simply put the following code at the end of your 'Who I'd Like To Meet' section, and it will take effect immediately!







All you need to do is change the values for height and width to suit your needs.

Also, if you have already customized the colour of your scrollbars, this scrollbox will be affected by it also!

Current mood:  frustrated
Note: This code assumes you understand about URL's
and already have your music hosted ONLINE

This really is quite simple. Firstly, this is how it will look on your profile:




Note: These songs aren't real, they are merely to show you how it will appear on your profile!





Cool, Huh? And the great thing is, it's a piece of cake to implement into your profile!

First things first, you need to download the player and playlist file (click here ~9kb)

The file is in .zip format, which requires
WinZip
to extract!



Once you've downloaded and extracted the file, you will have two files, player.swf and playlist.xml. Open up playlist.xml in notepad, or whatever text editor you use. Edit the lines that appear like this:









By putting the EXACT URL to your mp3 file in the "path" attribute, and then the Artist and Track name in the "title" attribute. NOTE: You cannot use the & symbol in the path or title, you should replace it with & or it will NOT work.




Of course if you have more songs than there are lines in the xml file, you can add as many more as you like!



NOTE: The songs MUST be valid CBR (Constant BitRate) MP3s. VBR MP3s, WMA, ASX/ASF etc... files WILL NOT WORK




Now upload your completed playlist.xml file and player.swf to your webhost of choice.




The URL to your files should look something like this:

http://www.YourWebHost.com/player.swf


http://www.YourWebHost.com/playlist.xml





Use this code to place the player on your page.










Change these values to your specific requirements.



src - Set this to the EXACT URL of your player.swf file.


playList - Set this to the EXACT URL of your playlist.xml file.


ShowPlaylist - This controls whether the playlist is visible upon startup. 1 for yes, 0 for no.


ShowEQ - This controls whether the equalizer is visible on startup. 1 for yes, 0 for no.


firstTrack - Sets which track should be played initially. Setting 0 will turn autostart off.


initVol - Sets the initial volume of the player. 0 (mute) to 100 (maximum)



And that's that! You could even extend this further by putting the player in a DIV container, and absolutely positioning it anywhere on your page!

If you do not want the music to play automatically than change autostart="true" to autostart="false" the viewer will have to press play for the music to begin. You can also change the loop="false" to loop="true" if you want it to play over and over instead of just once through. You can change the volume="50" to "100" or something else so that the start volume is set how you like it and obviously you can change the width and height.


IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE IN MP3 FORMAT


instead I suggest SingingFish
Search for the song you want than right click the link click 'properties' than copy the URL.

ps. this is NOT the code for video.

Note: You may need the Manual Submit Button, to complete this tutorial

Firstly you need to put this code in your 'About Me' section.



The "top:125px;" bit specifies how far from the top of the page the overlay will begin. 125px is the exact amount needed to start directly below the advertisment banner. Increase this number if you want it to start after the navigation bar.

Then place this code in your 'I'd like to meet' section.



After submitting, this is how your profile should look!

To hide just your friends, use this code:

This will leave a small box where the old friends list was. Unfortunately this is unavoidable!

To hide just your comments, put this code at the very end of your 'Who I'd Like To Meet' section:
You may need to adjust the 400px bit, incase your friends space is slightly bigger/smaller than normal.

To hide both your friends and comments
, put this code at the very end of your 'Who I'd Like To Meet' section:

THE CODES ARE PLACED IN THE PICTURE CAPTION SPOTS! The best way to do this is by clicking "safe mode" on your home page then clicking the 'images' tab. BACKGROUND CODES: IF USING A IMAGE FOR YOUR BACKGROUND: <style>body{background-attachment:fixed;}</style> <body background="http://tinyurl.com/7jsoa"> Use tinyurl.com to make a url small enough to fit. TABLE CODES: This is the center area that your pictures lay on. <style>table, td {background:transparent}</style> or <style>table, td {background:PICK A COLOR}</style> Make it transparent if you're using a image for the background or choose a color if you want it to be a solid color. Each code goes in a different caption spot. You can apply other codes such as image filters, cursors etc. as long as the code will fit in the caption area. Love HTML Guide

Do you think the 'XXXX is in your extended network' section is useless? Well why not replace it with your own image? <style type="text/css"> .blacktext12 {color:transparent; font-size:0px; height:75px; width:435px; background-image:url("YOUR IMAGE URL HERE")} table table table[height="75"]{ background-color:transparent; background-image:url('YOUR IMAGE URL HERE'); background-position:center; background-repeat:no-repeat;} </style> Paste this code in your 'About Me' section. Replace *YOUR IMAGE URL HERE* with of course, your image URL.(same URL in both URL spaces) Notes: The image should be 435 pixels wide, and 75 pixels high to fit correctly. Remove any '.blacktext12' codes that may already exist in your current coding. For users that are NOT using the backward page code, when you preview after inserting the code the image will appear as if it will be on the wrong side of your page, submit and it will still look as if it will appear on the wrong side on your edit profile page, view your profile and see that this is not the case, it is in it's correct position. It is positioned on the wrong side on the preview and edit page to allow use of certain links. i.e, 'view my profile'.

Background music is fucking obnoxious, nothing is more annoying then having NO control over music on a page.
<bgsound src="**URL of song**" loop="infinite"></bgsound>
When you add your URL be sure to take OUT the ** **. To get the song URL, RIGHT click the link you're getting the song from, click properties on the menu than copy the songs URL off of the pop up.. must be a song file!! If you just don't get it.. SEND ME THE EXACT LINK TO THE SONG AND I'LL GET THE SONG URL FOR YOU.
