The One Pixel Out Player is a Joomla!TM 1.5 implementation of the 1 Pixel Out MP3-player developed for WordPress. It reuses the Flash player but wraps it around a clean Joomla! 1.5 architecture.
This plugin not only wraps up the Flash player, but also allows for easy customization of the colors through a color-selection box - check the screenshot below.
Sample output
Click on the "Play" button below to start playing a MP3:
{play}images/mp3/eddie_vedder_society.mp3{/play}
About this plugin
This plugin is loosely based on the Joomla! 1.0 plugin written by Yuriy Smetana. Ofcourse the code has been written entirely to be Joomla! 1.5 native, so the old code is gone entirely.
Coincidently there is another 1.5 plugin written by Davien doing exactly the same as this plugin - the 1pixelout plugin. The plugin looks the same and does the same. There are some differences though (mostly technical). Here are the improvements of this One Pixel Out Player compared to Daviens work:
- Colors can be easily selected through a popup color-box
- Output can be overriden using a template override
- This code does NOT generate PHP Notices, so is fully compliant to PHP coding standards
- This code has no old structures like $_GLOBAL or functions, but uses the new class-infrastructure of JPlugin
- This code has been commented and uses clear logic to keep the source as open as possible
- The plugin has an extra option to disable remote MP3s, which should be considered a risk
