load a sound once at 1 page

[Ogierini]

Hi therem,


Is ther e a script available for this?

I would like to load a sound at loading of 1 specific page. It should load the sound only one time....

Is this possible in website baker?

I made a swishmax file but cannot load it once....

kind regards Irene

Hi Irene,

the only method I know to load a sound only one time would be setting the WB-site into a frame. But I would never do that.

Could it be a solution for you, using the swf only on the home-page, and using a jpg instead for the other pages?

Best regards

The picture and sound should only be heard 1 time at the home page and not at the rest of the pages.
How could I load this into a frame /wrapper one time with what code? And why is this not ideal?

kind regards Irene

You can try to download some flash player wit auto start, then put it in hidden <div> maybe that can help..

Hi Irene,

And why is this not ideal?

I am shure, for searchengines it would work like an eye of a needle. And this is really bad.

The picture and sound should only be heard 1 time at the home page and not at the rest of the pages.
How could I load this into a frame /wrapper one time with what code?

If it is a header-animation, my sugestion is to use this animation on the home-page, an a (standing) jpg instead on the other pages. There are different ways to do this. one easy way is to make a templateclone fore the home-page.

Best regards

If you know a bit of programming you could create a bit of PHP which checks for a cookie, if no cookie present then loads the sound and then sets a cookie.

This way you have the sound loaded once during the visit. Of cause, if the cookie is still present, when the surfer comes back next time, it will not play the sound again. But if the cookie is not present it will play. You could also give the cookie a limited lifetime ...

Hi Klaus,

that's a very elegant way. But this way I will never hear the sound, because I use a positive-list for cookies in ff. Ok, I know that I am a little bit exotic here. 

Best regards

Yeah, Klaus I know, unfortunately I am no php scripter.
Dreamweaver cs3 has a standard code for this but now use cs 4.....

- hoped some one had a simple code a la this.....

It's not a hard thing ... have a little look here: http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_cookies.asp ... of cause that doesn't help people with "cookie issues"

there is simpler way to do this, instead to clone template:

Check this code:

Code:

<?php
if (file_exists("".WB_PATH."/templates/".TEMPLATE."/pagepics/".PAGE_ID.".jpg") )
{
echo "<img src=\"".TEMPLATE_DIR."/pagepics/".PAGE_ID.".jpg\" title=\"".PAGE_TITLE."\" alt=\"".PAGE_TITLE."\">\n";
}
else
{
echo "<div class=\"pagepics\"><img src=\"".TEMPLATE_DIR."/pagepics/default.jpg\" title=\"".PAGE_TITLE."\" alt=\"".PAGE_TITLE."\"></div>\n";
}
?>

You should make a folder: pagepics in your template folder. Then add picture names: defult.jpg and the other should be named 1.jpg or some other number ---look for page id number in backend admin> pages..

You could put as much pictures in that folder as much you want for all pages, and they are named 1.jpg , 2.jpg...etc.. and if you are on page who has page_id == 50 and you dont have picture 50.jpg , the defult.jpg picture will be used..

You can also make simular line for audio, like:

Code:

<?php
if (file_exists("".WB_PATH."/templates/".TEMPLATE."/pagepics/".PAGE_ID.".wav") )
{
echo "
<embed src=\"".TEMPLATE_DIR."/pagepics/".PAGE_ID.".wav\" hidden=\"true\" autostart=\"true\" loop=\"1\">\n";
}
?>

I hope I helped
cheers

@ crnogorac081 ... you should try to read better please ... this user wants to use audio (sound) files ... not images or video ...

cheers

I think she said in 9 posts above:

The picture and sound should only be heard 1 time at the home page and not at the rest of the pages...

If you have .mid, then just put instead .wav ---> .mid  in the code:)

you can add additional parameter: volume=\"30%\"

cheers

Thanks you guy's!
I resolved it by making a little flashfile with a turn on and turn off button.
And in websie baker I choose for play it by activating/once....

So it works as I wanted now!

Thanks for your help!
