Change the ‘look’ of playlist items previously listened to

Hello @evamusby

Thank you very much for using our plugin. The plugin assigns the current class name to the item in the playlist that is playing. So, you can modify its appearance by entering your style definitions via the menu option “Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS.”

If you need additional assistance modifying the styles, please, indicate the URL to the page that contains the player to check your current styles.

Best regards.

That sounds hopeful, thank you for that prompt response.

Currently, the item that is playing does indeed look different. But if someone navigates away and then returns to the page, that information is lost. So I’m wondering if, a bit like with Audible books, there’s a way for the system to remember where someone left off?

The page is on https://anorexiafamily.com/bitesize-complete-playlist/ and needs a log in. I’ll organise that if it’s useful for you to reply.

Thank you!

Eva

Hello @evamusby

The URL provided does not include the music player.

Best regards.

Hmmm, not sure I understand. The page https://anorexiafamily.com/bitesize-complete-playlist/

uses shortcodes for the CP Media Player. For instance:

[cpm-player skin=”classic-skin” width=”100%” playlist=”true” type=”audio”]

[cpm-item file=”https://media.anorexiafamily.com/bitesize/010_100_Welcome_what_youll_find_in_Bitesize.mp3″%5DIntroduction to Bitesize[/cpm-item]

[cpm-item file=”https://media.anorexiafamily.com/bitesize/010_200_Our_story_My_experience.mp3″%5DOur story, so you know what we have in common[/cpm-item]

etc

etc

Did I understand your question? I’d be really glad if there was a way to style it so that users could see where they left off, or what they already listened to on a previous visit.

Many thanks

Eva

Hello @evamusby

From my side I see this:

The plugin does not store the files played for every user in the database. The next time the user visits your page, the player will not be able to recognize which items were played or not.

Best regards.

Thank you for that clear reply ??

Best wishes

Eva
