Autoplay MP3 when loading my Wiki

Post by Towle »

Just for a single day I want to play "Happy Birthday" when people arrives to my Wiki. I have placed the following code om my opening page:

Code: Select all

<flashmp3>http://www.danacord.dk/wiki/images/happybirthday.mp3|autostart=yes</flashmp3>

<h1>'''Happy birthday, Kennith!'''</h1> (actually in Danish)
I have installed Extension:FlashMP3 (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FlashMP3). I am pretty sure that everything has been done correctly, since I have checked it many times. If I copy the address http://www.danacord.dk/wiki/images/happybirthday.mp3 to a new browser window, the file plays allright i a black browser window.

Maybe this extension is'nt any good? Any simple solution will do: Autostart playing Happy Birthday when entering my site http://www.danacord.dk/wiki

Maybe someone wonder why I have put the MP3-file in /images. Well, me too, but I did'nt know where else to drop it. What is the default?

It works now ... but only in Firefox :evil:
http://www.danacord.dk/wiki/index.php/Forside

I have change the code to load the file internal:

Code: Select all

<flashmp3>HappyBirthday.mp3|autostart=yes</flashmp3>
and the mp3-file is placed in the \image-folder.

Why does'nt it work in MS Internet Explorer 9?

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately it's too late now. The wiki was af birthday present and it was released this morning (GMT) - with or without Marilyn ;-)
