Chords (Basic sheet music)

010101

flarum-ext-chords

Post basic sheet music on your Flarum. It's similar to the concept of ChordPro. If you play guitar I'm sure you've heard of that. Beta 8+ compatible.

Install

composer require zerosonesfun/flarum-ext-chords

Upgrade

composer update zerosonesfun/flarum-ext-chords
php flarum cache:clear

Usage

This extension looks for specific bbcode tags and converts them to the code needed so that your sheet music chords are above the lyrics. Wrap the entire song in [song] [/song] and then where you want a chord, use [chord] [/chord]

Example of what you would type into a new post:

[song]

These [chord]G[/chord]are lyrics to a [chord]C[/chord] song.

[/song]

Customize

Change the look of your sheet music by going to assets > extensions > zerosonesfun-chords > styles.css and modify the stylesheet.

This is an interesting idea. Care to post some screenshots?

Victor12 Thanks! Glad to see it works somewhere other than my forum. Some CSS tweaks will probably be needed. I haven't done a lot of testing. But, besides the bbcode conversion part, it's pure CSS. No JavaScript needed. 😀

010101 No, thank you! My community has some music and songwriting sections, so it might come in handy. You can share some tweaks, if you come up with something in the future. Cheers mate!

Updated composer file so that this can be installed on any future beta 8 minor release.

If anyone actually uses this, a quick note that this is compatible with the latest version of Flarum, beta 14.

Beta 15 ready.

Does anyone use this extension? Well, if you do you will want to update to the latest version. The previous version included a secret [c] BBCode which conflicts with the standard code BBCode. Now, that secret/shortcut code is [cd]. In other words, you can use [chord] or [cd] for short. See first post for more details.

This extension is ready for the 1.0 stable release of Flarum.
