Sound Plugin for homepage?

[iambellaswan]

Oops, I posted this request on the wrong board a few minutes ago, so I'm posting this here because it's where it belongs!


 Good morning to all of the fantastic (and highly talented!) Mods:



Is there any plugin in existence here that can insert a sound (.wav or mp3 file) to start playing automatically when a member logs in and reaches the homepage?



My forum has a Halloween theme for October and I got the idea of how cool it would be if they could hear spooky Halloween music playing in the background on the homepage when they log in?!

you don't need a plugin for that. just insert html code in main header/footer

What kind of HTML code?

Is there a specific kind of website music player code or something that I need to put in the HTML code? Sorry, but I'm totally new at all of this!!!!

I found and created this music player code that I want to insert into my homepage, but when I went into the Layout Templates >> Forum Wrapper, the audio player would NOT play on the homepage no matter WHERE I put it on the Forum Wrapper!!! I put the code near where it says 'header' and that didn't work...then I put the code near where it says 'footer' and THAT didn't work either.

Can you or someone else please help me and tell me exactly WHERE (which line) to put the following code INTO my homepage and WHICH section I need to go to so I can do this (Layout Templates/Forum Wrapper or Advanced Styles & CSS/Style Sheet)  




<object height="45" width="167" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="audioPalPlayer" data="http://content.oddcast.com/host/audiopal/swf/workshop_player_shell.swf?mId=65849891.1&doorId=427&ds=http://host-d.oddcast.com/&playOnLoad=true&polFreq=1&polUnit=session">

<param name="height" value="45" />



<param name="width" value="167" />



<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />



</object>



I would SO appreciate ANYONE that can tell me precisely WHERE to insert this code in the HTML/CSS template portion of my forum...I don't know what I'm doing...and I DON'T want to mess anything up!!!

Yes, it should have worked in the Header section...but it didn't.

^^^^line1 and as for the main header put on top

The music player code highlighted in blue represents me putting it on Line 1 where you suggested that I place it.

Then when I read the part where you said "...as for the main HEADER put on top..." I didn't really understand what you meant by that (as far as placement is concerned) so the music player code highlighted in purple represents me putting it at the Top of where it says <head>. 

Neither one of those placements worked.  This is SO frustrating...

I went to the milltown website and can hear my music player on there....that makes me even MORE upset...  ...that you were able to put it on your site SO easily and yet, I've been trying to get this done for over THREE hours now and STILL don't know exactly WHERE to put the music player code so it plays on my site. I feel like I'm going to cry out of anger and frustration...

Adwoman  could you please insert my music player code in the example Forum Wrapper below so I can see exactly what you mean by placing it on "^^^^Line 1 on Main Header":
