i have a test site where i test out things before going to my LIVE site and this one is strange.
When i use the ALBUMS module and turn on the Carousel feature for the module, the entire site is broken
The page is all white. I mean CSS doesnt load and it completely breaks my template.
Now theres two clues which might solve this problem
1) the DEBUGGING report says this "....nothing..." because it wont show up HAHAHA
The only thing that will appear right now is my LOGO.... well a HYPERLINK that says LOGO
I was able to see the error in debug yesterday but now i cant. I think it said ... something simething file path.......Carousel.php does not exist.
What?
Ok it says the file doesnt exist, strange, then how could i set the settings?
Maybe its a permissions issue on a particular php file inside the module folder?
Also in the ALBUM module administration area, there is a line that says under "BASIC OPTIONS"
Orientation - (Carousel mode only) =
and there i can choose = Horizantal
but i cant choose vertical.... because there is no button to choose that and there is no text NEXT to horizantal.
Strange things to see so im going to guess
A) a php file for carousel needs to have a different permission setting in FTP?
B) the module isnt fully installing?

0Actually germi you can get there in the account i set up for you a couple weeks ago
its still active
Just go in there to the modules admin area and activate the module called
"Germi Albums" I already have the configuration set. Just ENABLE it
Then go to the front end of the site and click DOWNLOADS. Because its only set to show on that page.
If you cant see the main menu, just add "downloads" to the url and hit enter -

0well, this is confusing. what's this? look at the error. it's like it doesn't find a components table or whatever.. but it's look for com_community!
that's JomSocial
what does this have to do with Music Collection? when do you get this?
I'm sorry to ask this stupid question but.. are you sure you're having a problem with a music collection module, and not some jomsocial thing? -
Accepted Answer
0thanks for pointing that out
its very strange because i wasnt doing anything to the site.
the only thing i did today was to log in and try to ENABLE the albums module a second time (copy module) in a different location
other then that, i havent touched or editing anything
The only thing i have been working on is the Music Collection installation-
Germinal Campsmore than a month agoat this point I really would have to see this myself to see what could be going on...

0ok the big problem here was that ERROR REPORTING was switchted to MAXIMUM
which basically diabled the entire website even will all the modules in question turned off
So here we are finally where we can get back on track
Im trying to use the ALBUMS module twice on the same page.
Once showing a GRID of recently added albums (in the intro text)
and once again using the carousel mode to show RANDOM albums (in the BANNERS position)
So while i am tying this i noticed something
The OLD version of the "Albums " module was called "mod_muscol_featured_albums.zip"
This does not exist in the new MC package. Too bad because i think i can get the OLD one working as CAROUSEL
and the new one working as Recent albums
working together on the same page
While im trying, lets try that--- ill need to find my OLD "mod_muscol_featured_albums.zip" file
Ok found it. That didnt work
any page this module is loaded onto makes the site appear jjust a blank white page
Im not sure what the problem with my site using the new CAROUSEL.php file is but or the new jQuery loaded but for some reason
i just cant use the CAROUSEL feature ... and id really like to -

0Yea i know im posting a lot here but
i just tried activating the Albums module along again and i did NOT set it to Carousel
I just set it to show 15 recent albums in a GRID form
and it whiped out the page.
Albums is in the "introtext1" position
i attached a screenshot of the module admin settings
Also attached is what the DOWNLOADS page looks like when the module is active on THAT page.
As you can see the only things showing up are
Logo ( a hyerplink to the logo area ) in the top left
and the two top most placed module positions
however i have TWO log areas on the page, and only one is showing
Also the module that appear have no CSS tied to them when the Albums Module is activated.
There are 6 other modules set to appear on this same page and because CSS is knocked out, nothing else is showing including the main menu
However if i got to the main page of the site, All is working correctly there because the Albums module does not appear on that page.Attachments:

0THANKS!! now one question. which file did you correct? Because once this site goes live
ill be setting up another test site to make changes there before making them on the LIVE site.
so for now, i wanted to pull down the corrected file,
drop it into the albums_module.zip
and then i can re-upload it into a test location later on with no problems.-
Germinal Campsmore than a month agoI have re-packed the package into version 2.4.2 of the module so the new fix is included. you can re-download it.

0Hey Germi, it happened again
the entire CSS is broken in the site.
I went to the modules admin area
created another ALBUMS module "Latest Sound Packs"
its set to pull RECENTLY added from a single FORMAT ID
and its set to appear only on the MC homepage
well, i reloaded the page and the CSS was broken again.
Can you log into the site again and see whats happening? -

0ok so here is what i finally did
I wanted to make sure that it was my TEMPLATE that was messing up, thinking it had nothing to do with MC
So i reinstalled my template - that didnt work
i cleared my cache folder - that didnt work
i removed and re-added the MC homepage menu item - that didnt work
i deleted the PARAMETERS file which is a configuration for the template - that didnt work
i deleted the "templateDetails.xml" file ( because i edited that a week ago to add the new module positions) - that also did not work
With all the poking around i have done, i wanted to make sure it WASNT MC that was causing this but
the problem only shows up as NO CSS loading on all MC pages.
The last thing im going to try is to load a completely NEW template for the site
and see if that works. If the same problem is there (NO CSS LOADING) then i know for sure its the MC installation for some reasons
which is causing a BUG -

0I just tried something drastic.
I even UNINSTALLED the MC compoment completely
cleared the cache and files
and then reinstalled the MC compoment
this too did not work
ok this is REALLY bad timing. I mean completely bad
i have a deadline to have this site go public in Mid January (thats about 7 weeks from now)
and i still need to get all the tutorial content uploaded into the site + all the downloads entered into the MC component,
and there are thousands of items to add.
I need to START with the downloads but i cant do that now.
Most people would be hissing a fit about it not working because they take their sweet time and rush n the end
but in my case..... i have been building this site since January 2013, so i havent been taking my time to get started
i started a long time ago. The client already paid for a year of NOT having a site in a PUBLIC condition...... -

0i cant say its the ALBUMS module causing the problem
At this point the problem is that CSS is not loading at all on any of the MC pages.
CSS does load however on All other pages in the site
CSS does load if i change the template to another Joomla template
basically CSS works everywhere OUTSIDE of the MC component -

0Sorry Germi. one more thing. I just checked the source code for the MC pages against the source code for the website HOMEPAGE
the MC pages are just not loading anything between the HEAD tags
Mc is only loading this
but the rest of the pages on the website are still loading all the META information, stylsheet info, menu link info, and everything else between the HEAD tages in HTML that are supposed to load -

0the template is from Joomlaxtc.com
Its called STylecouncil http://www.joomlaxtc.com/index.php?option=com_jxtcslim&view=package&id=1910
I began thinking it was the template as well but
i changed to a different template on my installation and the problem only existed INSIDE any MC pages on the site
With this template turned on aod others turned on, i tried looking at pages in the site OUTSIDE the MC installation
Homepage | forum | Community | Contact page | and others
and on those pages, the stylesheet loads
also on those pages if you look at the source code, there is PLENTY of information loaded into the HEAD area which is not being loading in the MC installation
I have to at that point think this is only happening inside of MC. I was able to prove the template is working everywhere else. -
