you just have to click on "save the parameters" and save them.. that's all!

Thank you for the help thus far. My site is www.hiphop.org, we have been in business for over a decade.. I know that Music Collection is going to be a great addition to the site.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled with the bare minimum components, modules and plugins. Just the below

com_muscol_2.3.0_3.0
plg_muscol_1.0.1_1.6
mod_muscol_jwplayer_2.3.1_2.5
plg_jwplayer_2.2.2_3.0

Everything seems good so far, EXCEPT the following PHP code being above a artists picture..

params->get('showletternavigation')){ echo MusColHelper::letter_navigation($this->album->letter); } $itemid = $this->params->get('itemid'); if($itemid != "") $itemid = "&Itemid=" . $itemid; ?>

and this PHP code being above the artists data table

trigger('onDisplayAlbum', array ($this->album->id)); ?>

Found the answer to that issue..

"the problem is that you have the SHORT_OPEN_TAGS set to OFF in your server and needs to be ON."

One last problem, when I click on the artist name from the main MC page, it's returning a 500 internal server error. Is that a permission issue involving the "component/muscol/" dir ?

oh! so that was it... ok!

about the problem: it looks more like a SEF problem. if you disable SEF, the error still occurs?
