Issue with audio player after upgrade

Operating System: Microsoft Windows NT 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2

Database Platform: MSSQL 2008

mojoPortal Version 2.3.7.0 MSSQL uipgraded to  2.3.8.1 MSSQL

I upgraded for the audio player. No errors uploading the files to my server or running /Setup/Default.aspx, but when I added the audio player I got no skin for it. Just text for the basic controls and list of audio tracks.

I added a player to the main page of your demo site to compare and contrast, and could find no obvious differences in the settings or source code generated back to the browser.

Additionally, I checked in the /Data/style/jplayer/ folder on my server and the two basic skin sub-folders are there, along with the file allskins.css.

My (broken) audio player can be seen at http://www.lahoradevictoria.org. Any help in understanding why it does not behave properly or what I might have missed during the upgrade process would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

J.

Re: Issue with audio player after upgrade

Have you added one of these to your style.config file?:

<!--
<file cssvpath="/Data/style/jplayer/allskins.css" imagebasevpath="/Data/style/jplayer/">none</file>
<file cssvpath="/Data/style/jplayer/bluemonday/jplayer.blue.monday.css" imagebasevpath="/Data/style/jplayer/bluemonday/">none</file>
<file cssvpath="/Data/style/jplayer/pinkflag/jplayer.pink.flag.css" imagebasevpath="/Data/style/jplayer/pinkflag/">none</file>
-->
<file cssvpath="/Data/style/jplayer/bluemonday/jplayer.blue.monday.css" imagebasevpath="/Data/style/jplayer/bluemonday/">none</file>

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Issue with audio player after upgrade

I did, yes. I was browsing the audio player instance settings and noticed the information in the help link for the "custom css class" setting under miscellaneous. I actually added references to several skins' style.config file (under /Data/skins/<name of skin>/), and then switched between them hoping that it was just a refresh issue. Following that same thought I recycled both the application pool and web site (I use Arvixe, their control panel has controls to allow for that). I set some skins to the bluemonday only reference, some to the pinkflag one, and some to both (referencing allskins.css). Still nothing, but I'm sure that is somehow related to a missing css reference.

I set up a simple test using the jplayer example files from before it was directly integrated into mojoportal. I created a /js folder, a /skin folder, and populated them appropriately, then created a jplayer.htm file that can be seen here: 

http://www.lahoradevictoria.org/jplayer.htm

That one works until (interestingly enough) I rename the jplayer.blue.monday.css file to something else (jplayer.blue.monday.css.old, for instance), and then it looks EXACTLY like the one I'm trying to embed via mojoportal. That tells me I could probably create an <iframe> and point the src to my jplayer.htm file above as a cheap and easy work-around, but I am still digging around to find out why i can't seem to get the .css properly linked. I'd prefer to resolve the issue on my site rather than work around it. That way the playlist can be managed via mojoportal, instead of editing the .htm page source.

Re: Issue with audio player after upgrade

Nevermind, I got it! Wrong folder. I've been updating /Data/skins/<name of skin>/style.config with the references to a jplayer css file, when I should have been embedding that code into /Data/Sites/1/skins/<name of skin>/style.config. Man I knew it would be something silly...
