Ditto. Any updates Germinal?

Just FYI, I did get a response from Germinal last month and he said Joomla 5 support would come later this year. It's now November so not sure how later but he hasn't totally written it off which is good.

We are doing our best to release the Music Collection J5 version ASAP.

Looking forward to it @Germinal

Lets hope so..!

Suggestion to update Music Collection to Joomla 5, use the services of a dedicated AI to generate codes. I can mention the Cursor AI Editor, where you can insert all the MC project files for J!3, use the correct prompt to update all the project files for J!5. Another possible alternative would be v0.dev from Vercel.

Hi,
I developed a version for Joomla 4 and now, Joomla 5, with a "news by artist" section and Apple Music integration. Germinal is just a profiteer, a few years ago I paid 850€ for him to add a "Clip/Videos" section, he just duplicated 2 files, since then I learned to manage on my own. This project is dead guys, roll up your sleeves

Any change to share it, or sell it

I tried to do it with chatgpt bu I cant get it that way and my site is heavily depending on MC..

Indeed this site is very misleading nowadays..

If building a new product with your skill and time and resources and then selling it (aka: a job) you call it being a profiteer, then we have different ideas of what "work" is (investing time in something and then selling it for money, basically the primary base of economics). I guess you think people should just give away their work for free.

The development of Music Collection for Joomla 5 is slow, because I have very limited time to dedicate to it, and first Content Statistics and Invoice Manager will be released. If that doesn't work for your time needs, I'm sorry, but it's the way it is.

850€ for 2 files bro !!!!

And what do you say about the fact that you buy a script but you can no longer download the files once the subscription has expired? For updates it's completely normal but for the rest it's abuse...

Anyway, it took me a few days to improve it and upgrade it to joomla 4, if your goal is not to scam people, I don't understand. You were a good guy at the beginning...

@ dzr

I have made some modifications myself added 3 more areas on Artist lay that out I am using for Related, Cover And Various albums myself. But I guess you can use it for YouTube etc also.. If you like I can share the modifications with you... Or with others

Just consider to share a J4/5 file with your modifications with me so I can try to fined out my self how and what to chance, by comparing it with the J3 version of it..

And I forgot
I did also a extra field at album level to include all editions from that album, but again you can fill it with whatever you want I guess...

It's not like making the code compatible for php 8, everything has to be redone, the folder structure, use of Namespaces, PSR-4 structure, end of jQuery by default, etc...

Example :

// Controller

namespace Joomla\Component\MusCol\Administrator\Controller;

use Joomla\CMS\MVC\Controller\AdminController;



class AlbumsController extends AdminController

{

    public function (...)

// Model

namespace Joomla\Component\MusCol\Administrator\Model;

use Joomla\CMS\MVC\Model\ListModel;



class AlbumsModel extends ListModel

{

    protected function getListQuery()

    {

        ....

Yep I know, already tried it with chatgpt, I was just hoping to have a file where the changes are done already so I can compare and try it my self...

I am not a coder in any way, the changes I made, was just digging in the code and copy paste some lines and basically get it done by trial and error.
