The AudioPlayer2 extension lets you embed MP3 audio files on your wiki via WordPress Audio Player Standalone.

Installation

• Make sure that the required software is installed before you continue!
• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called AudioPlayer2 in your extensions/ folder.

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

  wfLoadExtension( 'AudioPlayer2' );
  

• Configure as required. (see also the examples provided)
•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

To users running MediaWiki 1.24 or earlier:

The instructions above describe the new way of installing this extension using wfLoadExtension(). If you need to install this extension on these earlier versions (MediaWiki 1.24 and earlier), instead of wfLoadExtension( 'AudioPlayer2' );, you need to use:

require_once "$IP/extensions/AudioPlayer2/AudioPlayer2.php";

Configuration parameters

$wgAudioPlayerPluginPath

Update 5/16/2018: This step is unclear and the external link is now broken.

Set the path to WordPress Audio Player Standalone files which must be installed separately for this extension to work.

$wgAudioPlayer2Settings['width']

If set, specifies the width of the Flash player when opened. (default width: 380)

Example:

$wgAudioPlayer2Settings['width'] = 380;

$wgAudioPlayer2Settings['tags']

If set, specifies the list of tags that this extension should handle, otherwise "player" is used. This setting is for interoperability and easy drop-in replacement.

Example:

$wgAudioPlayer2Settings['tags'] = array('player','audioplayer');

$wgAudioPlayer2Settings['colours']

If set, specifies the colours of the different parts of the player.

Example:

$wgAudioPlayer2Settings['colours']['leftbg'] = '00F80F';

Usage

The <player> (or whichever you choose) tag can be used to embed MP3 audio content into wiki pages:

<player>test.mp3</player>

Tag attributes

The following attributes can be used in <player> tags:

title

sets/overwrites the title of the file being played. If not specified, ID3 data if available is used.

<player title="Title">test.mp3</player>
