Installation

0
Hi. In your install instructions it reads:
Go to Music Collection administor area and click on "Parameters" icon to set up basic configuration for the component. Be sure to do that before you start working with Music Collection.

Well I have your latest version installed. I uploaded com_muscol_1.0.2. It installed, but I just don't see the parameters icon anyway for basic configuration. I'm either blind, or just can't find it.

Any help would be appreciated. Also after installing this com_muscol_1.0.2 it seems as if the modules don't wish to install as it says they are already there.

Your help will be very much appreciated. Thank you for your time, and this great program.

    hello

    1 - you must be Super Admin to see the Parameters icon (thats a joomla secutiry issue, not MC's. in Joomla, only Super Admins can see Paramaeters :). The parameter icon is in "Music Collection -> Albums"

    2 - the modules are included in the distribution, but you have to install them (when you install the com_muscol_1.0.2.zip file, only the component is installed: you must also install the plyaer plg_keithplayer.zip and all the modules you want to have. Like this, we avoid to install a lot of modules that you may not use)

    :)

    Thank you very much germi. I guess I was blind. The icon for parameteres is on the far right side (on top) over after clicking albums. I appreciate your help! I am looking forward to getting this going.

    Hi. Sorry to bother with more silly posts from an obvious newbie. I'm having a hard time just getting things to go without an instruction guide. I love your work, and really appreciate it. In fact I love it. But I just need some help to get going.

    Ok, I've uploaded songs into the appropriate songs folder on the server. I am using JomSocial.

    The whole idea is, I just want people to be able to upload and play their music through this Website as a demo for other musicians. Just snippets so they don't get taken.

    I have a whole album up there for a demo. But I just don't seem to understand the procedure for getting the dewplayer or the keith player to go inside an album page. I have it active in the plugins, but how do I call it to appear on a module?

    Perhaps to save your sanity and mine, should I just have you go in and do some things to get it going?

    yes, thats a good idea. send me an admin username and password and I'll check it (tomorrow! ;) )

    dont be afradi to ask, I am sorry I dont haven't published (yet) a user's guide.Is just that I dont have the time!!!:)

    anyway, check that you have , on Parameters, the option "allow users to listen to songs online" set to "Everybody".

    besides of that, remember that ONLY the admin can upload songs!

    Ok. Germi. I replied to the email address that your system sends out when a post is answered. I hope this is the best way to get a hold of you. If not just let me know through this forum. Thank you very much for your kind attention.

    Hi, Germi, I'm just planning to buy pro version of MC component, I saw many topics about difficulties in its installation, my Joomla skills are near zero (this CMS is pretty new for me), now I'm learning Joomla video lessons, and also want to see installation process of MC. So I will know can I use it or not (and will make a decision to buy MC or not).

    that's ok.

    this video was uploaded by a user, I dont know if he can upload it again.

    in any case, version 2 is about to come out (veeery very soon, maybe tomorrow if we're lucky), and the installation is easier.

    also, we're working on video tutorials, bu may take still some days to be publish...

    Germi
