Hi

I am using the website as a way to show artists albums / list song names. I have managed to on the album view page to remove the link to the songs. However they appear as a tab on the artists page. Anyway I can hack the code to remove the songs tab and can anyone point me to the correct file?

I would also like to remove the ability to upload songs via the add albums function can anyone point me to the correct file to get this done as well? As I dont want users to stream music I wont to disable the upload function but I am happy for them to add albums, tracks and artists.

I have hidden the playing of music on the site and it contains no music files but b4 I open this section to the public I just want to disable the music uploading b4 my server gets swamped with file uploads only I can view.

Thanks for any help.

the file to remove the songs tab is in helpers/helpers.php. search for function artist_tabs()

the album frontend form file is: /views/album/tmpl/form.php. there you can hide the songs part.

Hi

I could not find artist_tabs() in that file..

Perhaps a way to remove the links to the songs? I have removed it from the albums page thanks to yours and another members help but I totally just want to remove any links going onto songs pages.

Hi

I have installed version 2.3.0 so going in via the backend and checking installed components it says 2.3.0

When I edit the helpers file that says * @version 1.5.0 at the very top of the file.

Hi

The file is /httpdocs/components/com_muscol/views/album/tmpl/form.php

So basically on the Artist/Album upload form I am attempting to remove the upload file capability as I am not storing any files for the songs and don't wish for any users to try and upload songs if they add an entry themselves.

I have removed line 169, 193-196...

The Upload button next to the song still appears.

the file is /assets/songs.js
