hey, I get a 404 not found if I try to acces the folder thumbs_40 or thumbs_115
check that you created those correctly, inside albums folder

and then re-upload the images on the backend to make MC re-create the thumbs

Hi germi

I just purchased music collection and everything looks good, but I would like to change its default image folders from images/albums etc. to img/albums etc. Could you tell what files do I have to modify to make this change?

ups... this would be a lot of files...
do you really need this?
in the next component update, there will be the possibility to generate the images dynamicly, so no "thumbs_40" or "thumbs_115" will be needed.

anyway, if you really need to change this, tell me and I'll tell you all the files you'll have to change...

but, again, this will be a lot of files!! at least 10 or 12... :S

As you probably know, in default Joomla robots.txt, images-folder is disallowed. I have couple subfolders there, that I'd like keep out of search engine index, but wouldn't mind if I got visitors from people who search for album covers from Google image search and other search engines.

Sure, it would be easier to edit my robots.txt, but if it only takes 10-12 files to edit, I'd like to give it a shot, just to keep my "searchable" images in one place.

Looking forward to your next update, can you give a release date yet?

file administrator/components/com_muscol/tables/album.php

between lines 131 and 176 the images are stored and the thumbnails created. replace the folder for the folders desired. ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!! I really don't recommend to modify code for people not familiar to PHP

here are the front-end files where the iamges are displayed... I suggest you to search the sentence "images/albums" and replace (one by one, you must know what you are replacing) for whatever you choosed your images directory to be. again, I DONT RECOMMEND modifying such files unless you understand every step that you're doing! these are many files so it's easy to make mistakes... and of course, for future updates, you'll have to remember what files you modified because these files can be replaced for new ones.. there we go!:

components/com_muscol/views/album/tmpl/default.php
components/com_muscol/views/song/tmpl/default.php
components/com_muscol/views/artist/tmpl/default.php
components/com_muscol/views/artist/tmpl/detailed_album.php
components/com_muscol/views/artist/tmpl/grid.php
components/com_muscol/views/artists/tmpl/detailed_artist.php

...good luck!

Thanks germi, I appreciate your quick response.
