Hi i was hoping someone can help me with this?
i was wondering if there's a way i can create/make or install a hide tag.

basically it would be like other tags but hide whats in it?

Code:: [hide] [/hide]

what i want to do is put music in them for certain stickies,announcements,post and my rather long forum overview/rules. i am using Imeem.com for the background music i have now.but i dont like the player in view
i want to be able to hide the player.with hide tags this would be possible.this would be for post,stickies,announcements only.not for putting music in the overall forum/background. if anyone can help it would be very much appreciated.i have seen this option on other forums but do not know if forumotion have or offer this?

if you go to my forums home page/portal click here for forum portal you can see what i have for back ground sounds
now. i do understand that i can put that in the overall background. but i really want to be able to do it for any given post without seeing the player????

thanks

i would be interested in the last hidden code.

what do i just put that code in add my mp3 player code with the song and end it with

Code:: <embed>

shiii i'm confused can some one help me ..

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

Time to time if you want to make your forum more attractive then
you can think about adding some nice background music to it. However
please don't forget that html background music needs more bandwidth. The
usually used mp3 files are small compared to .wav files, but even so
much bigger then a normal html page. The W3C not approved
<embed>. Besides this it can annoying peoples, even if you make
it possible to control the sound. After this introduction let's make
some work.
Using HTML background music is not a complicated
task. You just need to select a sound file. It can be mp3, wav, mid but
don't forget that is should be as small as possible. After you have the
music it's time to integrate it into your html document. To do this we
need to use the <embed> html tag. The <embed> tag inserts a
browser plugin into your webpage. This plugin is installed on the
client machine.
It's time to see a basic html background music integration. Here is a code which plays your sound:

Code:

Code:: <body> <p>Background Music</p> <embed src="bgsound.mp3" autostart="true"> </body>

This code simply plays the given .mp3 file as the page is loaded.
However if the file ends the music will stop, so you maybe want to set
to play music in a loop. Of course you can do this by the loop
parameter and as result your code will look like this:
Code:

Code:: <embed src="bgsound.mp3" autostart="true" loop="true">

You can also control the size of the browser plugin like this:

Code:

Code:: <embed src="bgsound.mp3" autostart="true" width="400" height="20">

It's nice that with this solution the visitor can control the
background music, but it destroys your page design. So you maybe want
to hide the control panel of the browser plugin. In case of <embed> tag you can also use the hidden parameter as follows:

Code:: <embed src="bgsound.mp3" autostart="true" loop="true" hidden="true">

At the end once again be careful when to use html background music.

To add this player, go intro your Admin Panel => General => Homepage => Configuration - Homepage Message

{kirk here}
see this last code is what i want. but it dose not tell you how to add the mp3 file/html code.
what are we supposed to upload the mp3 file too. to get the html code for the mp3 file?and how do we incorporate it with the codes you are providing.

thats all i need to know... lol or if theres a way to create a hidden tag then that would solve everthing for me.

bump.

please anyone? this has bin up for a week tomorrow.
all i need to know at this point is what is the music file being uploaded to.
how are we to incorporate to the given codes above?
forget the whole hidden tags thing.

it makes no sense the way that is explained with out telling us ware and how to add a music file and being incorporated.

the codes are there. i just dont know what or how were supposed to add a music file to. what is the music file supposed to be generated uploaded to for it to work.

these codes mean nothing without knowing how you are supposed to add the music in.
know what i'm aggravated. forget i even asked. a mod can just delete the whole thread if they want?
i'm moving on.there's no use of beating myself up over this inquiry anymore salut

this is not solved. i just clicked that so staff can see this and hopefully remove the thread for me.

thank you all for reading this though. it can be a Lil confusing.
but at the same time easy.. so i dont know what i missing here. Sad
