..::How to install::..

The installation of the Music Bar for Arrowchat will be done in 3 steps.

Step 1. UPLOADING

First you must upload both the music player application and the music.php backend to your admin folder.

The folder structure has been setup for you to automatically just upload both the admin folder and the applications folder that comes with this install text.

-NOTE-
If you do not want to upload the simple folder structure that is already made, you can individually upload each required folder/file.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////

The structure is:

admin/--images/--icons/-music.png
      |
       -music.php
      |
       -php.ini
      |
       -config.xml

applications/--0m3ga_player/--images/-icon.png
                            |
                            --includes/-player.swf
                            |
                             -index.php
                            |
                             -install_config.php
 
cache/
includes/
language/

popout/
recieve/
themes/
upgrade/
uploads/
...
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

I've bundled a php.ini file along with the music.php and config.xml. the php.ini file is not required but is recommended if you
will be uploaded large MP3 music files. A default server can allow 2 MB of upload at a time. This php.ini boosts it up to 10 MB.

The config.xml file is used by the player and music.php backend.

Once all the files have been uploaded, you can now move onto step 2.

Step 2. INSTALLATION

Firstly, when the uploading has finished, go to your arrowchat admin panel, and install the 0m3ga_player application. This will
put the music player in your arrowchat bar.

For you to add music to the player, you must visit the music.php file.

Your address bar would resemble something like this:

|http://yourwebsite.com/arrowchat/admin/|

To view the music.php, simply add music.php to the address:

|http://yourwebsite.com/arrowchat/admin/music.php|

If you do NOT want to have to deal with manually surfing to music.php do this:


FIND CODE:

<li <?php if ($_GET['do'] == "notificationsettings") echo 'class="active_nav"'; ?>><a href="manage.php?do=notificationsettings">Notifications</a></li>

inside of the pages_header.php file in admin/includes

ADD CODE:

<li <?php if ($_GET['do'] == "editmusic") echo 'class="active_nav"'; ?>><a href="music.php?do=editmusic">Music Bar</a></li>

DIRECTLY beneath it.

There should now be a link in your admin panel allowing you to directly go to the music bar settings.

WARNING
THis build, is designed for those who have setup arrowchat to be directly under the site that uses arrowchat. For example, I use
arrowchat on my forum:

http://0m3ga.net/forum

and arrowchat is installed here:

http://0m3ga.net/forum/arrowchat

If your setup is not similar, the player might not function as advertised.
