n3rdskwat-mp3player

Description

The n3dskwat-mp3player is an idea of n3rdskwat member L.Gero.
Combining our interests in music, video and art n3rdskwat creates.
This time I created the mp3player that fitted our needs and might fit yours!

The n3rdskwat-mp3player is a very simple player, which allows the visitor to listen to mp3’s while browsing the website.
Most mp3players stop playback when you follow a link, this one re-codes the blog to load internally. This means you never really leave the homepage, but you still have access to the entire blog!

FAQ

The plugin screws up my design!?

If the mp3player rips your design apart, you can try to add a couple of lines to your stylesheet:

n3s_body { position: relative; }

Are suggestions that have worked on other theme’s, I hope it will help you fix your style back to normal!

The plugin [x] only works on the first page I load

That’s the only big bug that I haven’t completely fixed yet.
When you load a new page on your blog, the mp3player handles the request for you.
This means that scripts depending on the ‘page is loaded’ functionality need to be activated again.
At this point only the ‘lightbox’ plugin functionality has been added and tested.

If you have plugins that stop working, please let me know so I can add them to the (temporary) plugin compatibility function.

Or, if you know something about javascript, you can add the function-call to the ‘n3s_initialize_scripts()’ function in the ‘/js/n3rdskwat-mp3player.js’ file.

Why doesn’t WP Ajax Edit Comments work?

The WP Ajax Edit Comments plugin uses a strange way on the document.ready functionality. This way I can’t reproduce the code when a new page is loaded, which is vital for correct plugin functionality. As long as they don’t change the way the plugin works, I cannot make the mp3player compatible with WP Ajax Edit Comments.
