Just downloaded and tested lastest added artist - still getting programming error.

More updates: With Acesef, searching for songs and artist does not work.

I'll take a look at the latest artist module (I thought it was solved...)

about AceSEF: there IS NOT a plugin for ACESEF in Music Collection...!
if you use ACESEF set the handler to "default router" for MC...

I thought you were using JomSEF.. have you tried JomSEF?

I purchased the extensions from Acesef. It seems alright. i tried Joomsef, but the linking was not right. Please read above for more info. I will give Acesef a try again and report back.

Thanks.

I installed Acesef, but it wont work properly with community builder add album and add artist menu. I removed it. The plus using Acesef is that the URL is right. The SEO is also better. But i removed it because of issues with CB.

I just installed Joomsef, like i said earlier, the linking and redirection is wrong: See below:

http://www.justjojoentertainment.com/video-channel-and-music-playlist/l/lj-saviour-of-rap/blasphemy-mixtape/gunz-high

/video-channel-and-music-playlist/ is a submenu and shouldn't aappear have appeared. the right URL should have been:

http://www.justjojoentertainment.com/search-song-album-artist/l/lj-saviour-of-rap/blasphemy-mixtape/gunz-high.

So there is still a bit of bug in using Joomsef.

Germi pls check.

Thanks

Final Conclusions: i have decided to stick with joomla builtin SEF. Music collection seems to be having issues with Acesef and joomsef

I also discovered that both Acesef and joomsef using community builder ( add album and add artist seems to produces error 404. i have been very patient testing the best SEF to use, but my conclusion is that i will wait until an updated MC thats compatible with popular SEF is available.

There seems to be one bug or the other using SEF except builtin joomla SEF.

germi, pls let me know when you can test this on my site. I have removed joomsef.

Thanks.

I have solved the problem with URL linking issues. Its to do with the itemid. I overide the itemide in joomsef and used the right itemid for redirection and it worked.

Now am checking the community builder error 404 with add album and add artist menu......will be right back with more updates

helloooo

I was having lunch

let's see: the CB link issues are solved using the ITEMID parameters on the CB plugin.

the idea is simple: you first create two menu items, "ADD ARTIST" and "ADD ALBUM", on your site, somewhere.

the buttons in CB are actually only "shortcuts" to these menu items. you need to put the ITEMIDs on the parameters of the plugin.

if you don't know how to do it, leave it like it is, I'll do it for you

about JomSEF: I'm quite positive that JomSEF works just perfect when the MC plugin is ON.

I tell you this because I don't want you to "give up" on JomSEF. if that's what you wanted to use in the first place, you can use it. if there's something not working, I'll take care of it. just enable JomSEF, NOTIFY me and I'll do what it takes.

Finally gave up. Its not working. The add artist and add album menu not working after i overide the itemid in joomsef.

don't give up just let me do it.

give me a couple minutes!

@justjojo I just configured the parameters as told and it works just fine...!
the two buttons work great on CB profile...!

can you check?

I have reinstalled joomsef. Pls check if it works. Also check the URL links if that works also. Thanks

it's strange, the FTP account I had does not work anymore. did you change it?

Sorry. I disable it this morning. I will enable it now

I have enabled it now.

Tested the community builder and add album and add artist, i can confirm that its working now

The menu is still linking to http://www.justjojoentertainment.com/video-channel-and-music-playlist/song/108

/video-channel-and-music-playlist/ is a submenu.

hello,

I installed Music COllection's JomSEF extension plugin (it wasn't theree!!!!)

JomSEF URls for Music COllection are working good.

I deleted all Music Collection URls and re-created them. I cleaned cache.

they work GOOD, but they could be more NICE, as you just pointed out: the are starting with "video-channel-and-music-playlist" which is not very nice.

from MY point of view, it would be much nicer if that was actually something like... "music"

do you agree?

to achieve this is very easy with Music Colleciton and JomSEF (remember! this is not a bug whatsoever! now I'm just giving you clues on how to make it look nicer!)

1) on ALL your music collection MODULES, please us the ITEMID field. we will make all them point to the main music menu item, which is 487 (search menu)

IMPORTANT: actually, last point can be skipped: JomSEF offers a kick-ass feature, which is to override all Itemids for one particular component. just go to JomSEF admin -> manage extensions

click on MUSCOL

set ITEMID HANDLING: Override
and OVERRIDE ITEMID: 487
CUSTOM MENU TITLE: music

2) delete all MUSCOL jomsef created URLs. CLEAN CACHE. browse the site.

that should do the trick!

I could do it myself but I want you to understand how it works, and see it yourself.

as you see, from this point on it's all about JomSEF's config. Music Collection is working good!

Germi

I did that what you suggested earlier, and i got programming error 404 when i clicked on the menu item add album and add artist. I will try again.

I tried to add album, but i was only directed to the search-album-artist-songs menu. The form didn't show up

ok, let me look into this.

the rest of the links working properly?

yes. all the other link are fine. Except those two.

To erase a song or album is also showing error messages

I'm working on it.
question: is your .htaccess file correcly setted up, as JomSEF requires..?
I'm starting to think that this one may be the problem...

I will paste the htaccces file here for you to see. Am getting more error 404 on other pages. Maybe i should take it offline.

go back to "default handler" for Music Collection meanwhile, so you don't get any ugly notices. I'll keep working on a solution on my localhost.

I have removed joomsef in the main time. I was getting lots of error 404 on most pages. If this doesnt work. I must as well give up.
