Would it be possible to add a preloader for sound similar to what proboards.preload([array_of_sources]) does for images?

I agree that sounds need to be preloaded, and it's something I was meant to implement a while back, but kinda left it until I begin work on a specific plugin that's on my list.

I really want to switch to HTML 5 for handling sound, but then people get left out, and it causes further issues due to the the same domain policy (really just for audio?? annoying).  I haven't had too much experience with sound in the browser, all I know it's a damn pain to get working nicely cross browser, and at the time bgsound and embed was the easiest solution (not sure if it still is).

I would suggest a complete rewrite of the sound class, but from my last tests, it did work in 4 browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE, and Opera.), as to what IE version is supported, I can't remember.  Also, never tested in Safari

Am up for discussing this further, or someone else making improvements too it and committing to the branch. 

I suppose we need to move the element creation outside of "play" and allow the author to call "yootil.sound.preload(sound)".  We could make these modifications to the current class, though getting it to preload is another question, no doubt we would run into a browser that just wants to annoy us.

Peter: I think the next logical step in the bar object is to add a "left" and a "right" option. The left will add it to the left; the right will append it to the list.

By doing this, we can fix the above issue. Code creators can right that in as an option for their code.

Yeah, would be handy.

Do you want to do it?  Or I'll do it in the week.

Ok, I'll do it at some point in the week when I'm taking a break from work. 

I took on another plugin request, I regret it now lol.

Small update.

0.8.8

yootil.bar now has 2 new params. 1 for function, and 1 for the context.

The reason for this, is that you may need to execute a function on your plugin icon. You can prevent the link from following by return false in your callback.

Example:

yootil.bar.add("/", this.message_image, "Show All Messages", function(){
console.log(this.messages)
return false; // Link won't go anywhere
}, this);

The link to download this doesn't seem to be working... I was wanting to add the monetary system to my website, which requires this yootil plugin. Any help is appreciated! :)

Download is working fine for me right now.  May have been my host that went down.

Updated to 0.8.9

The "get" method in the Storage class has a small bug for JSON strings.

[Peter]

Updated to 0.8.10

New methods added to the Yootil.bar class.
Also a new change to the "add" method will need to you to change a few parameters around, otherwise it will no longer work.

The "add" method now needs a unique key / id passed in. This is so that you can have access to the item you added, which also allows you to remove it.

add: function(link,
img,
alt,
id,
func,
context)


Notice that func and context have been shifted to the right to allow for the id parameter to be set before them.

This allows us to use these methods...

- yootil.bar.remove(key)
- yootil.bar.get(key) // Returns the item wrapped by jQuery
- yootil.bar.has(key) // Checks if an item with the key exists in the bar

Example:

add_plugin_icon: function(){
if(yootil.user.logged_in() && this.message_image && this.hidden){
if(!yootil.bar.has("pdgmsg")){
yootil.bar.add("/", this.message_image, "Show All Messages", "pdgmsg", function(){
yootil.storage.remove("pdgmsg", true);
yootil.bar.remove("pdgmsg");
this.show_hidden_messages();
this.hidden = 0;
return false;
}, this);
}
}
}

Docs have been updated.

yootil.pixeldepth.net/files/src/bar-js.html
yootil.pixeldepth.net

Soon, the Yootil Plugin will need updating, as I will be adding in a settings page to allow for things to be tweaked by the forums.  So for example, allowing you to set the Yootil Bar to be on the right will be one of them.

0.8.11

Added yootil.page.member

Looking For Plugin?

Download: yootil.pixeldepth.net/yootil.library.pbp

Or

Install Directly: www.proboards.com/library/plugins/item/38

Tip: Move the Yootil plugin to the top of your plugin list.

Note: There is no need to update this plugin when a new version of Yootil is released (we post about docs, features, and bug fixes).  However, it's advised to bookmark this thread, as we may modify the plugin to include settings in the future.

Current Release: yootil.pixeldepth.net/yootil.min.js

Plugin: yootil.pixeldepth.net/yootil.library.pbp

--------------------------

Experimental: yootil.pixeldepth.net/yootil.src.js
Project: github.com/pixelDepth/Yootil
Docs: yootil.pixeldepth.net

--------------------------

The plugin contains a global header that includes the yootil.min.js file. This is so it can be kept up to date.

Will update this topic when anything is changed.



Edit: Just to note, things will likely change considering ProBoards v5 is still a Beta

OK.... I feel so stupid about asking this, but I've held onto my question for a long time. I was hoping I could figure this out on my own.

How do I use this plugin? Just install it and that is it?

I have other plugins that say that I need to install this one in order for me to use theirs. I put this one directly above those and still, nothing happens. Both this plugin and theirs are enabled. There are no settings for me to set... still, nothing happens. I know since I'm nearly clueless about codes and the like, that it most likely is something I'm not doing that I'm supposed to do. I just can't figure it out.

If anyone could help me, I'd appreciate it greatly. Thanks ahead of time.  

[Former Member]

I have often wondered the same….. I'm using this plugin on my forum as another plugin needs it to work, but please don't ask me which or why! LOL

Not been very helpful have I, sorry!
