Hey all!

I copied over the code of the Cobalt Player into the Home_header.tpl file so that the proton theme now has the player. The problem is the linkfor the large player. I get a not found error.

Below is the path and I am guessing this is the issue since I have the dsplayer_cobalt_large.swf in the Proton theme.

Any ideas?

Code

{if is_file("'$THEME_DIR'/dsplayer_cobalt_large.swf")}

Thanks!

i don't know how much of an impact this has, but you want back ticks ( ` ) around the variable, not apostrophes ( ' ) (back ticks are right under the escape key and above the tab key, on the same key as the tilda (~). so then it would be

Code

{if is_file("`$THEME_DIR`/dsplayer_cobalt_large.swf")}

Thanks smith.kyle for looking at it.

Yeah that was my fault. I removed those so the bad link would not appear on the artist page. Then I added them back in when posting. Any other ideas?

I don't have the proton theme to try and help out on this, but I do know that the variable "$THEME_DIR" doesn't seem to work in all parts of Jamroom. If you had a link to where its at, I could look at it for you.

Hey DS!

Here is a link. Basically I am using a cut/paste of your code. I did copy the dsplayer_cobalt_small.swf and dsplayer_cobalt_large.swf into the Proton dir and change the links but I still have the issue with the large player.

Thanks for the help!

check the guitaristworks.com/bands/415 directory for the file called "player.php" cuz i dont think this is a problem with the player, but it literally is missing the file. it could be that the theme isnt generating a player.php page maybe? check the theme.cfg to see what it says. if it isnt there, then you need to add a line. create a new template with the large player inside it (call it whatever you want, i'll use large_player.tpl for an example) then, in the theme.cfg file for proton, add the line:

large_player.tpl | player.php

hopefully that makes sense, and better yet, hopefully that works!

Hi SK!

That was it. I just needed to add it to the theme.cfg file.

Now can you fix my IE7 issue in the other forum?

Thanks agian!
