Hi again,

I just want to know few points.

-Can I make MC show nothing when I don't enter an info about albums. For example, when I just cant enter whole song times or edition date etc it shows "0" for those infos. I want it to show nothing instead of showing lots of zeroes. Can I do it?

-Can I show the songs' names as flat text at album view when I dont have anything to add about them like lyrics or what. I just want to show flat list without links when I cant provide info.

-Can I show a video icon or what when I add a YouTube video for a song. I just want to emphasize it when I add a video link for that song.

-Can I have multiple price options? For some albums I need to enter different currencies than default one. So I asked.

-Can I use SEO components? I had ArtioSEO but it seemed to have problems with MC, so I disabled it. Are there any SEOs working with MC?

PS : I noticed a small bug. When I changed the currency from Euro to Dollars, it shows at front-end correctly, but at the back-end album list it shows Euro still. This is not effecting MC but I just wanted to mention.

Thanks for now.

    1) you have to add conditionals to the template file, wich is
    /components/com_muscol/views/album/tmpl/default.php
    for the album view. you need small PHP knowledge for this.

    2) again, you have to add conditionals to the template file, wich is
    /components/com_muscol/views/album/tmpl/default.php
    for the album view. you need small PHP knowledge for this. just add a conditional, when printing the songs, that checks if "$song->lyrics != ''"

    4) no... sorry
    5)of course. JomSEF works fantastic, is the one we use in this site. but you need to download the plugin! http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/downloads/doc_details/38-music-collection-15-artio-joomsef-extension.html?lang=en

    6) ok, I'll keep in mind! thanks!

    I would be interested in the above two questions my self! Any chance of providing us with an example on the coding? And what happens if we upgrade later on? Changes lost?

    yes, canges would be lost... :S so that's up to you!...
    however, probably new versions will improve this templates, so they dont show unfilled content...

    I really dont recommend meesing up with templates if you dont have some PHP knowledge... on the other hand, if you do have php knowledge, adding conditions will be easy for you

    example of code: if you dont want to show the field "label" if not present, you have to replace this sentence (search for it on the file)

    echo $this->album->label;

    for something like this:

    if($this->album->label) echo $this->album->label;
