which pagination? this page I see 9 albums, but this is a MODULE, isn't it?

Germinal,

Thank you for your inputs. I have added around 22 albums as of now out of which only 9 show up on the front page and rest are going behind unnoticed.

Yes, I am using module and have called it using the itro-text area as mentioned in the documentation. Is there any other way to get these. I will have several albums that goes into different categories collectively. I need to show them by clubbing them into separate categories.

I would need your wise help to achive this.

Kindly support.

Best regards,
Syed H

well if you're using a MODULE, the modules don't have pagination.

In the module, you tell it how many albums to show, and that's what it will show. in this case, your module is set to 9, so it will only show 9.

if you want a page that shows albums and keeps loading more, you need to do with with a SEARCH view, filtered by albums. Not with a module...

do you know what I mean?

Germinal,

Thank you for adding your valuable inputs. I am really not sure, however I have just created a Menu with "Search Page" as option under Menu Item Type.

Is this what you're guiding me to?

Moreover I would like to have an ability to group albums into different categories so that when a person selects that category from the menu, it should show only those set of albums.

Please advise.

Best Regards,
Syed H

hello

yes, this is the search page indeed..

we don't have "categories" for albums, we have genres/formats/types/tags.. you can use those.
if you want to create a menu "pointing" to a set of albums, you can simply create a menu to the search page but with some filter on,

for example, to show only albums for "format" equals to 3, you would do:

index.php?option=com_muscol&view=search&format_id=3&search=albums

Germinal,

Thank you for adding your inputs. I have achieved this using the Tag filters. You can see it on the site here under Aduios Menu.

I would ask you to help me manage the related albums that show up under each Album while viewing the Album. Is there a way we can manage the number of Albums that show up there?

Please advise.

Best Regards,
Syed H

well, this is a module as well, isn't it? the related albums, I mean..
then in the module you can define how many albums you want to show...

Germinal,

I guess this is showing up on its own at random while viewing the Album songs. I did not make any module call there.

Please advise.

Regards,
Syed H

oh! I see,

no, this is not "related albums"

this is the ALBUM CHRONOLOGY.

it shows the previous album and the next album, on the artist's chronology.

I get it. But how come it is showing albums that are from a different tag which were not even added in the order they are showing up?

Am little confused.

Please Help.

Regards,
Syed H

the chronology is not about the TAG, it's just based on the ARTIST of the album.

Germinal,

Thank you for being so patient with me and helping me through this.
I get the point.

Is there a way we can show the related Albums below the album being viewed based on TAGS?

Best Regards,
Syed H

well, not out of the box. To show related albums based on tags would require custom coding work.

I hope you will consider this may be next release. This is as per my knowledge will certainly give a boost to the showcasing of albums and may bring in some more views as it will keep the users engaged.

For now I am all set and happy.

Thank you Germinal.

May Almighty bless you with all the Goodness around... Amen

Syed H
