Recruiting an opencart developer to build an audio player into my site

garyfl · 18 Mar 2016 at 00:36

Been ragging my hair out over this for 5 weeks now, spent loads of cash for nothing, been conned, scammed, installed crap and i still dont really have the final missing piece to my puzzle.

thepatchbay.co.uk

Ive built this website ( still in middle stage development) but i dont have the skills to be able to code an audio player that is global, plays the sound demo even when you navigate pages without interruption until you pause/stop or change it. has a few dedicated buttons in the header/ or the main player bar at the bottom. Incorporates a full bar along the bottom with a waveform view.

Could someone do this or point me in the right direction ?

Budget isnt massive, but i can pay.

Hi mate didn't get any email edit: oh I get you

Yeah it's currently being developed

There currently sites 2 frames in the index or something he's doing a few workarounds

Hi,

Cookie will be implemented in the header text rotator

The site does use ssl currently

I use opencart, though I am building a landing page I'm using basic css and js for that. For the store opencart seems to be the best thing I've tested everything else was a mind boggle or slow.

Thanks

Also the main site is now a landing page

Database is now at

HTTP://lib.thepatchbay.co.uk

Haven't got round to changing it yet ! And yes there's typos everywhere I just put quick placeholder ideas in until it comes to actually sorting through that area/module. Still embarrassing to read about it so sorry about that.
It's just a beta test environment I have it locally so it's not important but I guess I should change it anyway.

Changed the above

I have absolutely no idea what any of this is but I must say that your site looks absolutely amazing. Top quality work, well done!

Thank you !

im not sure if this was sarcasm aha as ive had to put my lib domain in maintenance mode, unfortunately with recruitment ive had interest from competitors who are now trying to start up their own similar thing. Ive been watching them mimic features so ive tried to turn it off from the public until launch. i have disabled maintenance for now maybe youl get a better idea

You got rid of the mighty lion . Poor lion!

it was originally there to show the stature of the patchbay, the apex predator whos here to stay but part of my business model has changed to create something more streamlined and easy to navigate so ive taken out the big sliders and instead will put that on the main landing page.

Instead ive added a subliminal message that pops ups very briefly when a lib page loads it reads "GAME OVER" its a nice little message for all the competitors either copying me or saying nasty words in emails when i try to work with them.

desktop mode? its been coded to be responsive, should look great on a desktop are you referring to this domain ?

http://lib.thepatchbay.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=283 - shady plug of my personal content

cheers

i know what you mean, problem is the framework is either responsive or it isnt. if its not it looks the same on all devices like the desktop and its not very nice ( dosent score me high on google insights either due to tap size) with it being responsive, it looks more like an app on mobile and more like a desktop database on the pc/laptop/tablet

dayum, noticed other day someone changed my name to wang in the admin, GG

garyfl · 14 Apr 2016 at 21:52

Yeah it's on the list of things to do to tweak I'll look into it found some competition the other day splice sounds and they're destroying me even though I had the idea in 2012 never was able to financially portray it. Got a lot of market research to do but right now focusing on linking the global player to the products themselves and attaching in the sound cloud api etc

Took the advice from this thread and the website is now coded to show Seo urls

Eg

http://lib.thepatchbay.co.uk/SYNTHWAVE-INSPIRATIONS-VOLUME-ONE-STUDIO-ARCADIA

garyfl · 17 Apr 2016 at 16:38

I see completely what you are saying

I'll have a play around

garyfl · 17 Apr 2016 at 16:38

Oh and the caps lock was on everything is just a test product anyway

garyfl · 17 Apr 2016 at 17:35

http://lib.thepatchbay.co.uk/Studio-Arcadia/FL-Projects/Synthwave/Synthwave-Inspirations

I did that but it results in the page not being found maybe I will have to replace the / with -

I originally emailed top people from the scene, but it's been a bit of a mess around and my now competitor seems to have them locked down in contracts. I have about 10 designers, but moving forward I'll just open it up so anyone can apply, it makes it more transparent and community driven.

Oh the audio designers, the people who would actually make this site actually worth visiting haha.
