this problem occurs if you are running PHP 4.

you need PHP 5 to run Music Collection! (it's said before you buy!)

if you cannot upgrade to php5, then you'll just need to change this function to str_replace()...

not a big problem

According to my Hosting I am running version 5

A simple PHP Info Query shows:

Current PHP version: 5.2.14

wow.. that makes no sense.. this function is perfectly defined in PHP5! look:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-ireplace.php

in any case, you can try opening that file and replacing this function for str_replace

I have replaced str_ireplace with str_replace and the error went away but it shows no results in the search.

It says No records found

Anything else there is to do?

Thanks for all your answers.

Huerfanitos

please put a link

I have enabled the module.

Visit huerfanitos.net and hit the "coleccion" link in the menu at the left; that will show the search form in the content area.

I have only added three artists to the database:
Archae
Rocafuerte
Eduardo escalera

Do a search on any of them with the default filters.

Additionally, if i click in the corresponding letter (A,R,E) the artist shows up.

Let me know your findings.

Maybe I have not populated enough fileds within the artist's record? :dry:

Thanks,
Huerfanitos

Sorry! Menu at the right not the left

its a bit strange.

let me tell you how it works: the system always searches on the KEYWORDS field, of the album form

maybe, for some reason, this field is emapty in your albums...

this is weird, because the system fills them up automaticaly when you create the album... it concats album name + artist name...

Solved!

You were right.

I read in other threads that keywords were needed for the search engine to work so I added keywords to the ARTIST but not the album.

By adding keywords to the album the search engine was able to find the artist, album, song.

But raised some other questions for me.

So the important keywords for the search engine are the ones that are in the record of the:
Album?
Artist?
Both?

Is there a particular reason why the search only uses keywords as a means of finding records instead querying other fields like artist name, album name, etc?

If you say that the system fills the keywords automatically when the album is created, then what went wrong? I know there are many variables but any hint or pointer to further investigate will be appreciated.

Thank You,
Huerfanitos

the search system is a bit particular.

the good thing is to have both album and artist name on the keywords.

search system looks for "entire" works.
so if you have "abbey road the beatles" and you type "abb" on the search, it will return nothing. you need to write, at least "abbey"

on the other hand, the order does not matter. it looks at every word independanly. so "beatles road" will return the album, as well, for instance.
