*OBSOLETE* HOW-TO: Facebook + Zune Card (and other sites)

THIS IS NOW OBSOLETE BECAUSE:

1)There are Facebook apps that [use my method to] display that card as an application itself.

2)You can get the Zune Card code by clicking on "Zune Gadgets" on your profile (right of the card)

3)Use "http://card.mygamercard.net/apps/zune/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE.png" to get an image-based card (instead of flash).

- Fred (The Bed Head) ;)

PS: Please, if you plan on adding more Facebook apps and you used my tutorial, credit me (as Frederick Suleiman)


I've seen a lot of people going around the forums, asking how to embed their Zune Card onto their Facebook profile (or other sites / profiles). Here you go :)

NOTE: [if you're not using Facebook, just follow the link in step 2 to get your code. No need to resize]

1) Add the "Flash Embed" application


2) Go to: http://www.dangrossman.info/zunecard.php?zunetag=bedheadfr3d (put in your Zune Tag at the end of the link, or use the space in the top right corner). Copy the code. If you're adding the bigger one (with more detail), resize it to: Width: 387, Height: 261 (Maximum size that will fit)


3) Choose the second bubble over the code box (insert information manually) Paste the code into the correct spaces.


a) In the URL field, for the large card, put in: http://social.zune.net//xweb/lx/swf/zunecard.swf , for the smaller one, put in: http://social.zune.net/xweb/lx/swf/zunecardmedium.swf


b) For dimensions (ONLY FOR THE LARGE CARD), put in Width: 387, Height: 261


c) For "Flash Variables" (aka flashvars), put in "baseURL=http%3a%2f%2fsocial.zune.net%2fzcard%2fusercardservice.ashx%3fzunetag%3dYOUR_ZUNE_TAG%26src%3dlarge&MMplayerType=PlugIn". If you have spaces in your Zune Tag, replace them with "+" 's (ie. Bill+Gates). In case you're wondering, this is the code that grabs your music info from this site.

5) Done!

 ISSUES:

1) Anyone can fave one of your songs under your profile (that's all they can do, don't worry)

2) When you have more than 2 or 3 faves and you click on the "faves" tab, all the song titles are cluttered into 1 pile (use the album art to navigate)

Written from scratch (but the code generator and Facebook app were not made by me)

Hey thanks for this post. I followed the instructions but I guess Facebook has trouble updating flash content immediately. Hopefully it will work later. Thanks again man!

re: HOW-TO: Facebook + Zune Card (and other sites)
this didn't work so well for me.  it's frustrating that you have to click a button to get it to work as well since swf files won't play automatically.
thanks anyway.

Is this blank as well? coz the one I already had is blank also unless you click it. I think the problem is that facebook doesn't allow flash
