Normal topicMingle forum & Proplayer

Hi there. Say, I read a couple threads already about this issue, and I'm having the same thing. I'm helping a friend design a music community and really want to use Mingle for the forum as it's compatible with the Mingle plugin for social networking. We do need a flash player on the site and Pro Player is the best looking solution by far. However, upon installing the forum, posting does not work. The error is that, the posts appear as (in the Last Post column) "Latest Post by Guest on January 1, 1970, 00:00" and when you go to see the post, it fails to appear. Disabling Proplayer does make it so that after posting the post does appear normally, made from the user (in this case Admin) and clicking on it the post appears. Although, the posts made during the time Pro Player was active still show as the same in the Last Post column (made by guest ect.) and still cannot view the posting. If Proplayer is re-enabled, you can see the posts made when it was deactivated, but it fails to work. Info as follows for what is being used:

Wordpress: Version 3.0

Plugins:
Contact Form 7 version 2.2.1
Gigpress version 2.1.9
Mingle version 0.0.31
Mingle forum version 1.0.08
Pro Player version 4.7.7
WP e-Commerce Plugin version 3.7.6.5

Skin: Twenty Ten

The only one causing the conflict appears to be Pro Player. Oh, and I did try several different skins and none have made it work either. It would be great to get these two to co-exist. Thanks in advance. :)

I will d/l proplayer later today and see if I can find the conflict. I bet it has something to do with the way proplay is using $_GET['']
Thanks!

Hi again. Quicky update that I got the latest version (1.0.12) and it's still not working with Proplayer. Just thought I'd mention it.

Well I'm pretty sure ProPlayer is where the issue is. I think it's grabbing things from the URL without seeing if it belongs to it first. I haven't been able to verify it yet but if that's the case then there's really nothing I can do to correct it on my end. It would be something that the ProPlayer Plugin Author would need to correct.

If you can vertify it, perhaps we can contact the pro player developers and have it fixed. :)

I have done some looking into his code and it's some pretty crazy stuff. It looks like he's grabbing all sorts of stuff :D , including the entire page content. So he is going to need to be contacted on this. I noticed he does have an isError() function. If he could even come up with a solution or method that would detect the Forum and return an error that would be cool. But perhaps the easiest fix for him and a great feature anyways would be the ability to disable ProPlayer on certain pages.

Is it a PHP problem or a javascript problem.

If it is javascript, then in pro-player.php around line 135, would it be fixed by adding something like

function addHeaderCode() {
if ( !is_page('forum') ) {
print "";
else
print "<script type='text/javascript' src='".$this->PLUGIN_URL."/js/swfobject.js'></script>";
}

The above code does not work, but perhaps I am doing something wrong.

I think it's a PHP problem but your above code would work if you took out the ! (not) expression from the if statement.

I think I found a way around this issue -- even though I still maintain the problem is on their end :D -- however, this workaround will be available in the next release 1.0.16 of Mingle Forum. ENJOY 8)

Awesome :D Can't wait for this, after the project I'm gonna be putting this on my own blog site as well. Thanks for getting this figured out, even though it's not really your issue. :)

No problem. I've done quite a bit of testing and as far as I can tell the two are playing very well together. This work-around should fix similar issues with other plugins too so it's really a win-win!
