yes, you are right. I'll include this on the next version

Wow.. thanks :-)

Bones Germi,la verdad que haz desarrollado algo increible con este componente.

Ya esta disponible esto que comentas en este post.Dado que es muy importante para que nuestros artistas,álbums y LP salgan bien posicionados en Google.

en la version 1.0.2, las tags son generales en todo el componente (no son diferentes para cada album/artista, etc)

intentare que en la proxima version, 1.0.3, se puedan definir las keywords y description para cada album artista o cancion individualmente

veo que todavia no eres usuario de MusicCollection.

si te interesa, añadir tags concretos a cada pagina (artista, album, etc) es realmente facil. aunque yo no lo incluya hasta la 1.0.3, puedes hacerte con la 1.0.2 y te digo como hacerlo para añadir lo de los tags, no te llevara mas de 2 minutos

Aceptas transferencia bancaria,es que tengo bloqueada la cuenta de paypal y de momento no consigo desbloquearla.

Si me interesa tu componente,ya que es una herramienta básica para una página de música del estilo a la mia.
En local estoy mejorando mi site pero utilizando el Mbox component,que ya se ha quedado viejo y no avanzan con nuevas versiones,es una pena porque es muy bueno.Espero que tu componente vaya creciendo y vayas implementando cositas nuevas dentro de este.

si, el componente lo voy mejorando constantemente, inluyendo mejoras que se me ocurren a mi y otras que sugieren los usuarios. de hecho, solo tienes que echar un vistazo al foro para ver que los usuarios sugieren un monton de cosas, y varias de ellas ya las he ido incluyendo en las actualizaciones (1.0.1 y 1.0.2 hasta el momento)

se trata de ir mejorando poco a poco el componente, ya que es un proyecto abierto

yo nunca llegué a usar mbox, ya que cuando me hizo falta esta aplicacion vi que no tenia lo que yo queria, así que me construí la mia propia, que acabo derivando en este proyecto

si, acepto transferencia bancaria. si decides comprar el componente, dimelo y te mando los datos de la cuenta a tu email, y en cuando tenga la transferencia te envio el componente directamente a tu email

un saludo

Germi enviame los datos de la cuenta y te hago la transferencia.

Más adelante espero hacerte varias preguntas para intentar mejorar tu super component.

I would be interested in the changes to be done to put the meta tags for each artist and album. You could explain? But I expect if the new version 1.0.3 comes out soon.

wait for 1.0.3. will be released next week (I hope! )

Ok.. thanks

Hi Germi..
can you say that changes do for not have all the same meta tag? I have already received the alert from Google for this thing and I would like to correct this problem.

Thanks

hello
for the artist view:

open components/com_muscol/views/artist/view.html.php

as you can see between line 37 and 42 is where the (music collection general) keywords and description are added.
the function to set the keywords is

$document->setMetaData( 'keywords' , THE_KEYWORDS );

obvioulsy replacing THE_KEYWORDS for whatever you want the keywords to be. For instance, in this case (we are in the artist view) you probably want to include the artist's name on the keywords. You have the name of the artist on the variable $artist->artist_name.

for instance, lets asume you want the keywords to be "The Beatles albums list, review of The Beatles albums" (The Beatles representing whatever the artist is)

the you have to add (for instance after line 42):

$document->setMetaData( 'keywords' , $artist->artist_name . " albums list, review of ". $artist->artist_name ." albums" );

I dont remember if you knew some PHP, I hope you do

for the description do the same, but writing 'description' instead of 'keywords' in the first parameter of the function.

before telling you how to change the the keywords and description in the album or song view, tell me if you understand how to proceed in this case I have just explained and if you succeed

Unfortunately it does not work. From 68 to 73 I have this code:

		if($params->get('keywords') != ""){

			$document->setMetaData( 'keywords', $document->getMetaData( 'keywords' ) . ", " . $params->get('keywords') );

		}

		if($params->get('description') != ""){

			$document->setMetaData( 'description', $params->get('description') );

		}

then add what I said after this code! I said line 42 because I though this was the line

I have add this:

$document->setMetaData( 'keywords' , $artist->artist_name . " albums list, review of ". $artist->artist_name ." albums" );

After the code of my previous post but does not work. No matter, do not worry.

Germi puedes decirme como hacer esto,ya se que en la próxima edición del com lo vas a añadir,pero mañana o pasado comienzo a subir el nuevo portal al hosting y me gustaría tener esto listo,para que todas las páginas de tu componente queden con sus metas y keys.

Gracias de nuevo.Y como dije hace unos meses preparaté que eres unos de los tres mejores creadores del año 2009.
Dentro de Joomla.Y lo mejor de todo es que eres Catalán.

buenas facundo

con el pequeño tutorial arriba no te sirve? deberia funcionar bien para personalizar las tags para cada artista, album, cancion, etc

dime que te falla

Hola de nuevo Germi,he seguido el tuto pero se ve que hago algo mal.Y cuando accedo a las páginas y le doy a las teclas ctrl + u para ver el código,no veo nada de metas ni descripción del artista.

lo estoy investigando, cuando lo averigue te lo digo

Ok master,confio plenamente en ti loco.Bienvenido de nuevo,ya que estabas más perdido que la llave 10-11.
Por lo que leí tu crusastes el charco para NY.

HI,
i have a question about the meta tags, too.
the setting "keywords" on every album is NOT the META tags, right?
I use SH404SEF so i can add some Meta Tags. I installed the plugin and it works ok.

Is it correct that in the new version is the possibility to add META Tags to the albums? What would you prefer - the sh404sef plugin or the integrated Meta tags?
Greetings

"keywords" is not the meta tags, just words to be searchable.

I prefer sh404sef tags, thats what I use (well, I use JomSEF, but its the same)

Thanks germi,

maybe you can help me in this case, too.

If you can see on the attached screenshot, there is no seperator between the "alphabetic letter", the artist name and the album name in the firefox bar. in the url all is correct.

Do you have any idea why the seperator is missing?
[img size=628]http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/images/fbfiles/images/sef.png[/img]

hm... that I dont know... it must be some sh404sef bug. in JomSEF it is OK... :S try to look at some sh404sef forum...

Hi Germi,

i looked in a sh404sef forum but they told me that the problem is the plugin because the information is stored into the plugin.:unsure:

I dont understand this, because the URL looks like on your demo page. but the titel of the browser looks strange.

Sound-eckeBBuju-BantonRasta-Got-Soul
but it shoul look like this:
Sound-ecke - Buju Banton - Rasta Got Soul

do you have any idea why the separotors between the artist name and album name is? and why there is the letter B bevor the artist name (Buju Banton)??

I looked into the plugin file but i dont understand anything :/
If you have some time - can you have a look at the plugin? maybe you will find the problem?
Greetings,
Steffen

Hi Germi,

i dont solved this problem. so i looked at joomSEF and i think i will give this extension a try.

you use this extension,too. i read in some forums that in the past, there was some hidden meta and links to the developer. do you know anything about this?
on the homepage there is the info that on the "free" version a link the in footer is displayed but i would buy the version so there should no link.

Greetings,
Steffen

Hi Germi,

i installed now joomSEF and all works.

Only a small problem is there - maybe you can help me. I posted the problem in the joomsef forum but no one can help me.


i dont know, maybe you can remind yourself that you show me the modification to make a menuitem that is pointed on a genre
so i have some menuitems and if i click on them i see only the genre i want.

this is one of these links:
index.php?option=com_muscol&view=search&search=albums&genre_id=2&Itemid=152

these links are not a SEF URL and i have to manually put them into joomsef.
i did this:

OLD URL: index.php?option=com_muscol&view=search&search=albums&genre_id=2&Itemid=152
SEF URL: sound-ecke/hiphop

But nothing happens, in the explorer the "OLD" URL is shown. I used the url that is shonw in the explorer if i click on the menuitem i want to show in SEF URL.

Is there any thing i have to know that this works? Maybe i using the wrong url? If you have any tips for me that would be great.

Thanks!

first of all, Search URL are not SEF (the plugin does not translate this urls)

so as you said, the only way is to create a "custom sef url" in JomSef. dont need to include the Itemid on the url itself.

but if JomSEF is not translating it even if you have created your own custom entrance... :S then you should ask to Artio people, because I dont know what the problem may be

Hi germi,

yep i saw it on your demo page that the search URL are not SEF (do you think this is coming? )

yes i talk to the artio people but at the moment the can not help me. i hope i get a result very soon, i will post it here.

It is very strange, because i tried both (with and without the itemid) but the url is not "translated" into an SEF URL.

With SH404SEF it works so that is very funny because i have now with bot my problems

I asked you, maybe i have to use an other url like this one i see in the frontend on the menuitem.
thank you anyway!
Greetings
