Hi,

I help to run a quite large, busy Roller Coaster enthusiast site and one thing we're desperate for is a "Coasters I've ridden" collection.

Music Collection on the surface seems to be about the only, decent, collection system for Joomla, but would I be able to customise it for our site?

I can see how I could modify artists/albums/songs to be manufacturer/theme park/coaster but how easy is it to customise to this extent?

Also, we want the user base to be able to create the content themselves so build the huge number of coasters out there (essentially adding albums), but each user needs to be able to build their own collection of "what they've been on". So it's like having a section of "Songs I own". I could maybe see the playlist being customised for that at a stretch, but is there any facility (or planned facility) for adding that kind of functionality?

Many thanks!

Phil

    hello Phil,

    well, "name" customization is not a problem at all (you can just change "artist" to "manufacturer" and such on the language file, that is really easy. but customizing "features", if they require big code changes, is only possible if you're a joomla developer...

    about the "my collection" feature, that is something that would need to be created as custom coding work, it's not something that music collection offers out of the box.

    Thanks germi, very useful. Is there a procedure to go through to get a quote for custom coding?
