hello!

it looks like the ARTIST table is missing 4 fields. sorry for that.

if you have access to your database and know how to add fields, I can just tell you what to add and the problem will be gone.
if not, let me know and I'll write an script that you can execute to solve the issue.

THAT IS A BIG ERROR, how can you release something like this,
a pay for a uncompeted software. You ask me to add something,
but that is not my job, to fix your bugs. If i paid for this, is because i don't
have time to programm. Please fix this, or sende the money back.

@salsamundo: please, behave your manners.

don't tell me what is my job, I know it perfectly.

the fact that the artist table is missing fields is NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. is not "an error included with the software", as you are trying to make it look like.

I was just telling you how to solve this. WHY ARE THIS FIELDS MISSING? I dont know. I'm investigating it. if you look at the install files, you can see how this fields ARE THERE perfectly. I dont know why your installation missed them. other people instaleld exactly the same package as you and did not had this problem. this is a specific problem you're facing, not a "global" problem that the package has!!

please understand.

now: I've already asked to try something out. if you dont want to try, ok. then I'll ask you to re-install it again, to restore the problems. as I tell you, is something that maybe went wrong on your installation process.

I dont think it will happen twice.... so if you erase the database tables and reinstall again, you wont have this problem. I think..

I'm just trying to help out here, don't be so upset

OK, sorry for those words. I was just frustraited. I add the fields and it works, saving the artists. What still don't work is the discog sevice, what can i do?
Thanks

ok, good. thanks for understanding

about the Discogs: most of the time (90% of cases) the discogs facility not working is related to GZIP encoding: mod_gzip must be active in your server, because discogs sends always gzipped data.

so, first thing, if you can, it would be great if you can check if the apache module mod_gzip is enabled in your server.

besides from that, we've been trying a side solution, which is using CURL to connect to discogs. if you want me to do some tests on your site, please send me FTP and joomla access to your site at joomlamusicsolutions@gmail.com

I'll test things and tell you what is causing the problem, and solve it.
