Title: about music background
Post by: armpouniotis on April 28, 2010, 21:14:52
Hi all,

i have put somewhere in my site's template the jw player, in order to listen to music, when users get in this site. But, everytime I click on a different menu item, the players starts from the beginning.

How can I make it play the track without starting again and again, every time a user navigates to different pages in the site ?

The site is here: http://www.wingchun-kungfu.gr/

Regards

Chris

well, actually you cannot... Each time you navigate through menu items, the whole page is refreshed, so is the jw player...

The only way i can think of right now is to make an index.html (and tell server that is the starting page), which will contain the jw player and a frame with index.php. But this way all urls will always be the domain name (bad for seo).

Hope someone has a better idea...

I will answer in another way. Have you tried this new bot?

SoundCloud Bot 1.0
http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/multimedia/253.html

I sent a message to the bot's creator. maybe he can answer better  :)

Hi everyone...

No... SoundCloud bot wont do the trick...
I'm rather oriented to apkoutsou's approach!

Cheers

Armpouniotis, apkoutsou says right, that is only one solution but pay attention: search engines hate framed sites.
but there are two alternatives too:
a doorway page (index.html) with your sound and a redirect to your site opened in a new window when the doorway page is loaded and in meantime your doorway page will working in background, but this is a not good solution always for search engines.
another solution, surely better, is to create a pop-up with your sound when the home page is loaded. if the visitor don't want listen the music, will close it  ;)
there's and handicap. if the visitor block the pop ups, no music for him.

ok,

the sure is that I am not going to try frames. It doesn't sound to me very good idea, (in many options). Perhaps, i will keep using JW Player.

Maybe I am asking to much.... :D :D :D

Thank you anyway !
