Hi Todd, wanted to say thanks for the amazingly fast support. I echo Threadsmith’s sentiments.

I’m planning on replacing AudioPlayer with your WPaudio. I appreciate the forethought to include the option to handle AP tags. Another feature I’d like to suggest is the ability to define a path to a default audio directory. AP includes this option and I (and I expect others) have used this for past posts. Rather than have to grep the whole database and risk other issues, this would be helpful in making the conversion.

Also, I’m not sure if I’m clear on how to call the wrapper in my template. Thought I would ask you to post an example here so others can benefit as well. Thanks.

Really like the simplicity of this player. Thanks for sharing it.

For my site I need to use it hardcoded in my sidebar sans shortcode (shortcode will only work within a widget and I need finer control of when the player appears).

I plan to use custom fields to pass the .mp3 and title fields so that the player only appears if a file is available, and the sidebar can hold the file related to the post.

I know I can figure out how to do the custom field values, etc,(I’ve done that elsewhere) but I would appreciate a basic example of how to call the WPplayer from the sidebar without using the shortcode (passing in a straightforward .mp3 link and title to the function).

Happy to share the custom field trick once I get it working too. Thanks.

I’d like to add some additional info that might help others with this problem. I had 2 installs of WPmu running on my server (migrating from one to the other) one was v.2.6.1 and the other 2.7. The image resizing seemed to be working on the 2.6.1 version, but the image size radio buttons were greyed out when I tried to upload images to the 2.7 install.

In my case the solution seems to also be that the GD library extension isn’t enabled for PHP. I discovered the reason things seemed to work in v2.6.1 was that prior to 2.7, without GD library WP will just upload the full size image and resize it in your post with height and width tags to the image size you choose.

This behavior was changed in v2.7 when code was added to disable the radio buttons if the other image sizes aren’t created (by the GD lib) automatically on upload.

see: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/7151

So for me, it looked as if 2.7 ‘broke’ the image upload size feature when in fact it was just uncovering a problem I’d had all along.

Hope that’s helpful…
