    hello!

    what you want to show exactly?

    the homepage is very customizable. you can show whatever you want.
    in our DEMO, we show some FEATURED artists, and some featured albums, too.

    how? these are MODULES. (the modules are included in the package)
    on your PARAMETERS, on music collection, there are two fields: INTROTEXT 1 and INTROTEXT 2. this is what is shown before and after the SEARCH bars

    to show modules in here, you must use the {loadposition} tag

    example:
    1) create a new module FEATURED ARTISTS, and save it on position user4
    2) on introtext, put this: {loadposition user4}

    and that's it! the module will show here.

    do you understand? you can show as many modules as you like... :)

    ok! no problem! :)
    hey, by the way: you're from Greece, right? are you going to use the letter bar in Greek alphabet?

    I'm just interested in knowing if the letterbar is correct! I copied the alphabet from wikipedia, I hope I didnt forgot any character! :)

    please, check the PARAMETERS (again!!)

    at the end, there's a dropdown where you can choose the alphabet of the letter bar. one of the options is GREEK

    no, you can have only one letterbar for now.

    to change this letter. go to /components/com_muscol/helpers/alphabets.php
    line 58

    be careful!

    Please find a way to have both toolbars together. It will be very usefull for all europeans. Maybe if you insert in the english toolbar the greek letters it will work?

    I work with component and i have one big problem.
    First with modules. (Random albums, Top viewed artists etc)
    I save it on position "right". When i choose to see the lyrics of one song it appears like screenshot. The modules as can you see its above the video of song

    Also see the Random Albums album. See the dot (.) near the cover album. How can i remove that?

    the DOT over the cover album looks like a LI bullet element. you have to go to your css file and make some statement like...

    li.jcarousel-item{
    list-style:none;
    }

    about the video, it looks like you embedded this directly on the song review, so it's up to you to make it fit! make the video smaller, or... just use the VIDEO field on the song form!

    whats the problem? the lack of space?
    I would open file /components/com_muscol/assets/album.css

    line 60

    and make the width be about 238px

    and also reduce the size of the picture in line 45 approx

    you need CSS styling..!

    I think that the problem with my space in album and the artist review its because the main page of my template is small and the width of the right column is big (300px). I did exactly what you say and it look litle more better than before!
    Thanks

    First of all sorry about so many questions :blush:
    See here my webpage. See down the "Random albums" doesnt look good. The left arrow doesnt appears. Yours in the demo you have other arrows smaller.
    In case i want to add the random albums module to my right column of my webpage (width 300px) how to modify the module to look nice.
    I try to insert in right but doesnt look good. The module was small and the photos, also the arrows doesnt fit right correctly!

    about the DOT: templates/ja_seleni/css/template.css, line 193

    there's a BACKGROUNG property that is adding this dot. delete this property and the dot will be gone forever :)

    about the random albums module: you have to do a little bit of CSS work, I'm afraid...!! first, be sure that all the SIZES that you define on the module's paramters can FIT into your template WIDTH!

    in my demo, I changed the arrows, yes. you can put the images you like! you can copy mine if you want! here is the path to my arrows: http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/modules/mod_muscol_featured_albums/tmpl/jcarousel/skins/tango/prev-horizontal.png
    and http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/modules/mod_muscol_featured_albums/tmpl/jcarousel/skins/tango/next-horizontal.png

    feel free tu use them!

    about the size:

    the module needs 40px of padding in each side (if you dont modify manually the CSS)

    so, if you have 300px... you have actually 220px of REAL space. that is the space for every album

    if you show 1 album, then 220px must be the space of the album thumbnails + its individual padding. if there's only 1 padding of 20px, for instance, then you can set the thumb width to 200px

    there's no real secret about this, but you have to do a little math :)

    hi, i'm using ja purity and i have the same DOT problem in featured & random albums

    which css block is causing that dot? i guess it's the same JA template issue, that's why i ask.

    EDIT: Found the dot and resized via css, cool flexibility of the module, indeed :) and thanks for the arrows
