lets see: what exactly do you want to show? just an album?

what you see on www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/en/music-collection.html is a CONTENT PLUGIN (called "showalbum") wich you can download on our downloads are (plugins section)

Hello,

I have installed the plugin entered the id
but the album is not displayed...

but wait a second: you have to call the plugin on the "introduction text" field of Music Collection. have you done that?

the calling to the plugni have to be something like

{showalbum 1}

(1 begin the ID of the album)

yes i just did that
at component parameters but no luck...

does it have do anything with menu link(i have the artists option)

Germi i found it...
I placed the code in the menu intro text...

Two more questions

1) the letter bar does include the album or artists when clicking on there appropriate letter..is there a parameter for it?

2)For playing the album music files from an external file where do you place the exterenal file location?

Thnx in Advance..

1) I dont really know what you mean. when you click a letter, all the artist classified under that letter are shown.

2)you have many options. if ALL the files are going to be on an external server, then you can use the "songs server" MC parameter. if only certain songs are streamed for an external server, the you can write the path to the song directly on the song field for it (for instance, h t t p : / / www.externalserver.com/songs/song_sample.mp3 )

(dont forget the http)

if Music Collection detects that you are writting a full path, then for that song it wont consider the "songs server" parameter

This is the result when clicking on A on the letter bar...

On My site this does not happen to any letter although i have added an album...

About only certain songs are streamed for an external server,

I place the mp3 url in the song details at the "File" text box before the browse button...but it is not working... am i missing something?

I dont quite understand what is happening with your letter bar. the artists dont show up? check out the clasification letter for the artists..

Please Check out..[hide]http://www.mykarpathos.net/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=artists&Itemid=112[/hide]

I have an artist on the letter "B" balaskas is the last name of the artist...but selecting "B" letter on the bar does nothing....

Finally about streaming a file from another server... I place the mp3 url in the song details at the "File" text box before the browse button...but it is not working... am i missing something?

Do you have skype??

now I see what you meant, the letter bar is not working!! :S :S really weird. did you installed version 1.5 from zero? what joomla version are you running?

I see you changed some template (for instance, album template). did you changed anything else? it seems like maybe you erased something you shouldnt!!

about the external server streaming: the cause might the permissions. all the flash players in the world (including JW, of course) require a CROSSDOMAIN.XML file on the external server in order to allow streaming.

take a look at this: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/flashsecurity

so you may need to add a crossdomain.xml file on the server in order to allow external streams.

Germi i Have reinstalled component and all plugins bar works fine now but
on [hide]http://www.mykarpathos.net/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=album&id=2&Itemid=2,3,4[/hide]

Although One player per song is selected in the JW plugin the player per album is shown also...

the player per album will always show, even if one player per song is selected

by the way, what's this??!?!?! Itemid=2,3,4

??? :S :S

Itemid should be only one number!!!

Germi everything works fine now except the playing the songs from another hosting account....

In the MC parameters in the "song server" field i have placed the
the address where the songs are hosted http://www.mysite.gr/songs/">http://www.mysite.gr/songs/
I have added the crossdomain.xml at the root of the joomla installation at http://www.mysite.gr
which is:
[hide]
"
xml version="1.0"?
!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM
"http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">

cross-domain-policy
allow-access-from domain="mykarpathos.net"/
allow-access-from domain="www.mykarpathos.net"/
cross-domain-policy>

"[/hide]

Finally at the song file at MC component i have added the file "prologue-introduction.mp3" which is the same as the one in http://www.mysite.gr/songs/">http://www.mysite.gr/songs/

But song still not play...could you tell me if there something wrong..

Thnx

do the songs work if you stream from the same server? do you have access (permission) on www.mysite.gr/songs/ ?? (I mean, do you see the songs if you write this path on your browser?)

Yes i do...Check it out...
[hide]http://www.allaboutkarpathos.gr/songs/[/hide]

Hello Germi....

Can you tell me what goes wrong with placing the songs to another location and trying to stream them

there's nothing wrong. are you talking about an external server or just another folder on the same server?

the only thing is that if you stream from external server, you stream server probably will require a CROSSDOMAIN.XML file to allow extenral stream

OK let's take it step by step:
[hide]
1)At server configuration field i have placed:
www.allaboutkarpathos.gr/songs/">http://www.allaboutkarpathos.gr/songs/
At the first song path i have placed the file name
prologue-introduction.mp3 so the links show an mp3
www.allaboutkarpathos.gr/songs/">http://www.allaboutkarpathos.gr/songs/prologue-introduction.mp3

2)I already placed the CROSSDOMAIN.XML in the roort of joomla installation at www.allaboutkarpathos.gr as said before...

xml version="1.0"

DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM

"http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"





	

cross-domain-policy>

	allow-access-from domain="mykarpathos.net"/

	allow-access-from domain="www.mykarpathos.net"/

cross-domain-policy

	







	

	

3)Check the page where the album is
http://www.mykarpathos.net/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=album&id=2&Itemid=119

Trying to play the first song which is on remote server
the status bar shows the address but does not play the song

See attached files mock ups of the backend [file name=mock_ups.zip size=39829]http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/images/fbfiles/files/mock_ups.zip[/file][/hide]

I need to be a registered user in your site to see the player...

Ok i enabled...
also i enabled the download option where if you try song can be downloaded...but the payer does not play the song...

So i guess it has something to do with the player....

please, increase the HEIGHT of the player so I can see actually what is the error that is throwing out

hey, wait a second. it is tying to reach this file:

http://www.allaboutkarpathos.gr/songs/songs/prologue-introduction.mp3

notice that double SONGS folder... it shouldn be there!!

if you already have the /songs on the songs path parameter, you dont need to write it also on the songs server parameter...

thnx Germi you are the man...

I really thought using the remote field(in the parameters) will not insert the value of the local field....

Works fine, thnx for the Great component and the support...
