[Plugin: Audio Player] Player in Custom Field not working

You can use insert_audio_player function for this. I show how to use it for adding a player to the sidebar here: https://wpaudioplayer.com/frequently-asked-questions

You can pass it the value of a custom field.

Thanks a lot!!

For anyone who had my problem:

Create a custom field in the post called ‘player’

Set the value with:
[audio:https://www.domain.com/path/to/song.mp3%5D

than place the code below in the place you prefer in the post template (or anywere else)

`<?php $customField = get_post_custom_values(“player”);
if ($customField) insert_audio_player( $customField[0]); ?>

thx again doryphores!

doryphores/smokingweb:

I need to pass the value of the custom field…but have it work within a loop.

I have this very close to working, but am missing one small piece.

We are looping through and outputting a list of items.

I’ve had to replace the default audio player with a different one.

The only problem is that the custom mp3 player is not looping — it just shows the first track_mp3.

If I use:

‘echo get(“track_mp3”,$i, 1, false);’

Then the shortcode — [audio:https://URLtoMP3.mp3] — displays instead of the player.

@yourcustomblog

This looks like an issue with how you retrieve the custom fields. I think what you should do is this:

insert_audio_player(get("track_mp3",$i, 1, false));

Martin:

That worked perfectly. I’d like to express my thanks here and via a donation, which you can expect shortly. I appreciate the free WordPress Audio Player plugin (which is a real success) and also your availability and advice via these support forums.

Cheers…

For anyone out there interested in seeing the code — for using WP Audio Player plugin in conjunction with Flutter (replacing the default Flash .mp3 player), here you go:

<?php
$groupItems = jt_get_flutter_duplicates("track_name", "track_art");
if (is_array($groupItems) && count($groupItems) > 0){
    foreach($groupItems as $i) {

echo '<div style="background:#F5F5F5;border:1px solid #D8D8D8;padding:5px; margin: 10px 0 0 0;">';
echo get_image("track_art",$i, 1, 1);
echo '<h2 class="section-title" style="display:inline; margin-bottom:10px;">';
echo get("track_name",$i, 1, false);
echo '</h2>';
echo '<div style="width:380px; float: left; display:inline; margin: 10px 0 0 0;">';
$customField = get_post_custom_values("track_mp3");
if ($customField)insert_audio_player(get("track_mp3",$i, 1, false));
echo '</div>';
echo '<br />';
echo '<h2 class="section-title" style="display:inline;  margin: 0;">Buy This Track On:</h2>';
echo '<ul class="buttons"><li>';
echo get("track_amazon",$i, 1, false);
echo '</li><li>';
echo get("track_beatport",$i, 1, false);
echo '</li><li>';
echo get("track_itunes",$i, 1, false);
echo '</li></ul>';
echo '<div class="clear"></div>';
echo '</div>';
    }
}
?>

Flutter duplicate fields code from: https://calisza.wordpress.com/2009/09/21/simplifying-flutter-duplicate-groups-and-fields/

Here’s a cleaner version of the code:

<!--start music box:  flutter custom fields-->

<?php
$track_names = get_post_meta($post->ID, "track_name", false);
if ($track_names[0]=="") { ?>

<!-- If there are no custom fields, show nothing -->

<?php } else { ?>

<!-- otherwise, do this! -->
<?php

$groupItems = jt_get_flutter_duplicates("track_name", "track_art");
if (is_array($groupItems) && count($groupItems) > 0){
    foreach($groupItems as $i) {

echo '<div style="background:#F5F5F5;border:1px solid #D8D8D8;padding:5px; margin: 10px 0 0 0;">';
echo get_image("track_art",$i, 1, 1);
echo '<h2 class="section-title" style="display:inline; margin-bottom:10px;">';
echo get("track_name",$i, 1, false);
echo '</h2><div style="width:380px; float: left; display:inline; margin: 10px 0 0 0;">';

$customField = get_post_custom_values("track_mp3");
if ($customField)insert_audio_player(get("track_mp3",$i, 1, false));

echo '</div><br /><h2 class="section-title" style="display:inline;  margin: 0;">Buy This Track On:</h2><ul class="buttons">';

$amazon = get("track_amazon",$i,1,false);
if ($amazon)echo '<li><a class="amazon" target="_blank" href="' . get("track_amazon",$i,1,false). '">Button</a></li>';

$beatport = get("track_beatport",$i,1,false);
if ($beatport)echo '<li><a class="beatport" target="_blank" href="' . get("track_beatport",$i,1,false). '">Button</a></li>';

$itunes = get("track_itunes",$i,1,false);
if ($itunes)echo '<li><a class="itunes" target="_blank" href="' . get("track_itunes",$i,1,false). '">Button</a></li>';

$yoshop = get("track_yoshop",$i,1,false);
if ($yoshop)echo '<li><a class="yoshop" target="_blank" href="' . get("track_yoshop",$i,1,false). '">Button</a></li>';

echo '</ul><div class="clear"></div></div>';

    }
}
?>

<?php } ?>

I would like to get the file path, titles and artists all from their own custom field to make the updating a easier. I cant get the player to read id3 tags.

Any ideas how to do this?

All the values pulled from their own custom field
[audio:your_mp3_file.mp3|titles=The title|artists=The artist]

All help appreciated. Thanks!
