Lots of issues with Music Collection

0
Hello,

I bought the standard version today. I am building a site local with xampp, Chrome browser, responsive Template by shape 5 (Bootstrap framework). In the same site I am using the component Event Gallery, an image gallery.

I may say, that nearly nothing works with the component. So far I installed the component, module Recently Added and the module JW Player. The necessary plugins are activeted and configured, the options of the components as well. I followed thoroughly the instructions in the documentation.
By the way, I am no "newbie", but do my work with Joomla already since 2008 (passing through, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 2.5 and all versions of 3.0). Only to explain, that I nornmally do know, what to do.
But this component lets me without clues.....

Here are my issues:

1. For test reasons I uploaded one album with 6 songs via the backend, what worked as should. The album is shown in the frontend but without any further information besides the cover and number of songs. Though configured, there shows no download button etc.

2. Clicking on the album to open, results in a blank page.

3. Recently Added module shows the uploaded songs, clicking on one of them opens the player, that does not work. I cannot play the song. On top of the module there are these lines of code showing:
get('show_album')){ ?>get('show_artist')){ ?>get('show_rating')){ ?>get('show_album')){ ?>get('show_artist')){ ?>get('show_rating')){ ?>get('show_album')){ ?>get('show_artist')){ ?>get('show_rating')){ ?>get('show_album')){ ?>get('show_artist')){ ?>get('show_rating')){ ?>get('show_album')){ ?>get('show_artist')){ ?>get('show_rating')){ ?>get('show_album')){ ?>get('show_artist')){ ?>get('show_rating')){ ?>get('show_album')){ ?>get('show_artist')){ ?>get('show_rating')){ ?>
, what seems to be the coding for the structure of this module.

3. JWPlayer in module only shows a link saying "show player in popup", clicking it has no result.

I hope, you can help me. If not, this component does not serve for me. Also I am not able to pass hours and hours of trial and error.

    Hello,

    the problems you describe seem all related to the same issue:
    your PHP variable "short_open_tag" is set to OFF, and it should be ON.

    can you check this and change it?

    (this is mentioned on our installation instructions.. did you have the chance to look at them?)

    also, have you installed the jwplayer plugin? basically, I will ask you first to be sure to follow all steps of the installation instructions. then, if you still have issues, please don't hesitate to contact me immediatelly.

    Hello,
    thank you for your response. I switched this php-parameter to ON and some issues really are solved. Though I do not get the Player to work. As mentioned in my first post, I read the manual thoroughly and as I see, everything is configured right. I attach a screenshot of my player here, as it appears after clicking on a song. On top there is the non-working module of the player.
    As I am not able to play songs, also the adding to playlist does not work.

    One other question: Is "short_open_tag=ON" a default configuration on hosted webspace? Currently I am developing local, where I have access to my php.ini, but on hosted webspace I won`t. Could that cause problems?

    hello,
    could you post a link to your site? otherwise I can't check what the issue may be...

    usually in hosted websites the parameter is set to ON, yes.

    Hello,
    meanwhile I installed my site temporarily on my webhosting so you can have access. The URL: www.musipic.de, the login I will send to your address.

    Still the player does not appear, when clicking on a song. With open song, clicking on "add to playlist" the player in the module (top) appears but is not able to play the file.
    Your help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Kind regards
    Stefan

    Hi,
    unfortunately it does not work yet. I am not able to upload files. Yes, I followed instructions, try to upload only one file at a time because of max_upload, I tried all ways of upload possibilieties to get my music shown by Music Collection.
    I am working already one entire day to solve an issue, that should be fundamental for this component.

    If I cannot get it to work, do you refund?
