Hello mate,

Have you entered your API code in the parameters?

you need to enter the API code...

i did all need it, but still the same.

the button is still DISABLED???

the button is only disabled when no API key has been introduced in the parameter... :S can you make a screenshot to the parameters and post it here so I can check that everything is ok?

Germi

Same problem for me.. and also "scan a folder" don't work.

I put my API Key in configuration.

I'm working in a local XAMP joomla, can it cause some problem?

Thanks

Same here .. API is set but no luck. Searches return nothing, button is disabled if the button is clicked once, if field is empty it returns error

Call to a member function children() on a non-object in /home/rrbconsu/public_html/lounge/administrator/components/com_muscol/controllers/albums.php on line 93

just contacted you by email

I get...

Fatal error: Call to a member function children() on a non-object in [my edit]/administrator/components/com_muscol/controllers/albums.php on line 93

Hi Germi,

i'm frustrated, ich just can't understand, what is happening with this tool, ich have great plans with it, but because of this errors, i can't go on. How can i get this running?

Thxs Salsamundo

Any news/updates???

two more days have passed. Any chance of a resolution?

By following the directions here;

http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/en/features/discogs-integration.html

I was able to search and find album data without any problems...

Hope that helps!

I know how it's meant to work - it just doesn't and gives an error message.

I spent my money and want to use this - but for two weeks it's just sat there waiting for a response. Every other supprt request on the forum is getting attention, but I'm not.

The support has been lousy and, to be honest, I'd rather have my cash back.

I feel the same.

I didn't get any mail.

I'm trying to solve, but I have more and more problems,
can you give me your mail please?
I'll send you an admin access of my site.
I can't go on-line only for MC problems.

Please contact me as soon as possible!

Thank you very much!

hello to all of you

please don't be angry. I've spend last week on bed (I caught the flue) so I've not been able to respond to your messages.

I'll be glad to keep working on this for now on.

let's see...: @stefanoborghi. can I have access to your site to take a look? (did you already send e it?)

Thanks Germi.

I am happy for you to Admin access my site. I can't seem to PM so do you have an email address?

yes. please send it to joomlamusicsolutions@gmail.com

(I won't be able to test it until tomorrow, tho)

Hope you are feeling better...

hello

I am, thanks. we could solve the problem that @cubanate was having, and also some other's.

in your case, @trseaman, what the issue? nothing comes out when you make a search in discogs? or just an error comes out?

I need joomla and FTP access to take look around and solve..

For some reason some of the results from Discogs show a completely different album when 'get release data' is clicked!!!

It seems to work for 60-70% of the albums listed although the details are right in the results list...

Ya know what... Mine was working fine and was able to search and add all the beatles albums without and problems.

But now, from the main component page it does nothing.

However from the album song tab, I can search for tracklist info without any problems.

Since I was able to search before, I'm guessing I may have changed something but have no idea what. It would be nice if there were a "reset to defaults" option in the component Parameters.

I'll forward my info so you can check my settings and other info...

Thanks, Tim

this is really strange, Tim... you could search, and now you can't? :S does any error message show up?

No error message at all...

I enter my search info, click search and nothing happens.

If I select an album and edit, I can then go to the song tab and search for tracklist info and get results.


I sent my login info in a separate email, if you have time please see for yourself. Maybe I have an incorrect setting or something...

Tim

ok, I'll take a look.

this is weird... it is not a missconfiguration issue, because it that was the problem, you wouldn't be able to search in any of the two places... but you can search for tracklists!

:S

Not sure what it means but I just noticed that when I mouse over the button for "search on discogs" or "scan a folder" that it says; index2.php in the status bar on internet explorer.

Just wanted to share...

Any luck on this issue???

hello!!

sorry, Christmas vacation

no idea what can it be... if you send me access data I'll take a look (maybe you already sent me data in the past.. but with so many mails... I will be unable to find it!)

b the way... I asume you're using the latest version of Music Collection, right?

send me FTP data access too...

Just sent site info in a private email...

Oops I forgot! Yes, everything is up to date!

mm.. looks like I dont received it... what's your email address? maybe it went to spam inbox..

Hey Germi,

trseaman (at) yahoo.com

Let me know...

Admin

I'm having same issue many others are describing

I have the discogs api in place but when I try to search it does nothing but sit on same page....

Have you had any luck with this? And if you need it I can give you access to my site.

please advise

Will

1) check that you have NOT ENABLED the Upgrade MooTools plugin
2) if results still not show up, then it probably has to do with the avility of your served to receive GZIP data... check (or talk to your hosting provider) that Apache's mod_gzip module is ON.

bump.....I really need help with this one.

Will

I think that did it....sorry for the bump, didn't see it right away.

sorry, I dont understand: could you solve, or not?

Is this suppose to pull the song files as well?

Because it's not and just pulling the contexual information about the songs.

thanks

NO!!! of course not!! only the information!

how do you expect to pull the files?? that would be SO ILEGAL! :lol:
the files have to be yours!

ok, so why pull the album information if don't have any songs from it to show? It's just for looks?

ok, so why pull the album information if don't have any songs from it to show? It's just for looks?

it's to have the album info, and the tracklisting info.. so you don'thave to put it manually, which can be a pain! it saves you lots of time...

I checked for apache configuration and mod_gzip. Apache 2 is not compatible with mod_gzip. The module mod_deflate is the Apache 2 equivalent. This mod_deflate is still loaded in my Apache.

But i still became the error while searching on discogs:

Fatal error: Call to a member function children() on a non-object in /home/u1/tekktv/administrator/components/com_muscol/controllers/albums.php on line 93

What's the solution?

well, in this case we can try an alternative solution, based on CURL (must be active in your PHP config)

if you want to try this option, write me directly to joomlamusicsolutions@gmail.com and I'll send you the necessary file to replace.

hey germi, i just sent you the access and ftp information for my domain via email. i am having the same discog error (page shows nothing. looking forward to hear from you about that matter, and a few more i have explained in the email.

thank you

i also noticed that when i was installing the searchbox module (as well as some other modules and plugins) gave an error like: "XML Parsing Error at 1:0. Error 4: not well-formed (invalid token)"

the album search option gave a 500 error, and was not displayed, then i removed t he plugin and reinstalled and now it works ok, any ideas what this XML parsing error could be about? i'm asking cause maybe it's also causing the discog problem.. i don't know..

i sent the mail to the address you mentioned. languages problem is ok now, i was a bit sleepless then, but the discog problem stays as it is... so since this is an important function, i need some assistance to make it work, i sent the mail to your address mentiones, and i'm writing here? is there any other support channels that i should use?

regards and thanx for the marvellous component indeed

i have mod rewrite and gzip enabled in the joomla general settings, discog api key is saved in the mc parameters is there anything i am missing? does it need some extras that hosting company should be looking for?

and something seems strange, when i write a fake discog API code the page seems like loading (and stays like that) but when i write the real code, nothing happens? no loading sign or anything? what is my problem?

hello.

you are the one that send me the email, right? let me take a look! hope we can solve this ASAP!

More info on lookup issues...

Search discogs for 'Cubanate'

First result in list is 'Cubanate - Oxyacetalene'

Link is for: 39778

Check on discogs website: http://www.discogs.com/cubanate-oxyacetalene/master/39778

Result in Music Collection: Different Tastes Of Honey

Searching for 'Tosca - Different Tastes of Honey' in discogs shows that this has the same reference number.

http://www.discogs.com/tosca-different-tastes-of-honey/release/39778

It would appear that more than just the reference number is required to return the correct result.

Germi - could you have a look at this for me???

:S :S :S so strange... I'm thinking that Discogs has changed something in ther API access rules... or maybe they are having some SEF problems, it looks so odd that there are 2 releases with the same ID... :S :S :S

I'll take a look, but I think it's a good idea to go to Discogs forum and see if there are topics about this.

I'll do it, but if you want, you can give me a hand (4 eyes see more than 2!)

Agreed - I'll see what I can find...

Germi,

It seems that when performing an artist search you are returning the master, rather than release ID - which is why I'm not getting the right info...

From the discogs support call I raised - http://www.discogs.com/help/forums/topic/227480

ivailo91 wrote:

Album IDs are actually unique. However, you can take a look at the "type" of the entry the search returns. This is either artist, release or master. Releases and masters can have the same ID as they are different things. In other words, the API is currently available only for releases - when you specify an ID, this is referring to a release ID. There is no way to get master info as of now. We're waiting for this functionality in the API 2.0.

The Joomla 'Music Collection' component has a bug, it shouldn't return master releases.

Germi - did you get a chance to look at this?

aha... I see. I hadn't found that one..
I'll take a look.

you're right, the Masters were included on the results, and only the Releases should

this file should solve the problem (please unzip it first, and replace for the one existing in /administrator/components/com_muscol/controllers/ )

let me know if works!
[file name=albums-20110225.zip size=6729]http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/images/fbfiles/files/albums-20110225.zip[/file]

I've swapped the albums.php and am now getting:-

Fatal error: Call to a member function children() on a non-object in .../administrator/components/com_muscol/controllers/albums.php on line 107

when performing an artist search.

Is this going back to my previous gzip issue?

Definitely the gzip issue - Germi can you change it again?!

hello!

sorry for the delay. I'm traveling now and the internet connection I am able to use is absolute rubbish, so the support is being a bit slow. sorry for that.

about your issue: were you using the CURL option? (I don't remember if it was you who tried it and worked for the gzip issue...) the file I sent you was NOT using the CURL option, so if that was teh case, let me know and I'll send you a new file... hopefully the last one!

I think it was - if you can send me the file I'll get it applied!

Germi - any joy???

oppss.. once more I forgoy about this post...
I was working on this right now.

here's a new file: it combines the CURL solution with the FIX about the releases... I hope this is the definitive one!!! please let me know! [file name=albums-20110403.zip size=6991]http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/images/fbfiles/files/albums-20110403.zip[/file]

Thanks Germi - the new file runs OK but we're still getting look-up errors with Discogs.

As another example:-

Search for 'Cubanate'. 6th entry in the list is for a single called 'Body Burn'.

Selecting this goes to:-

www.discogs.com/pliq-b_hind-one/release/39775

but it should go to:-

www.discogs.com/cubanate-body-burn/master/39775

There's still something wrong with the way Music Collection gets the final release data and the format!
