Hi there,

In the demo, where can I find the URL option for songs?

It seems its only possible to upload a file. What about a youtube link or link to any other file format somewhere on the net?

Soundcloud integration also possible?

I'd like to know this before purchase

yes, it's possible.
there's a field to write the URL, no problem

but soundcloud integration not possible I think... how does soundcloud work?

Germi

Good question and thx for the answers.

Could be interesting:

http://support.soundcloud.com/soundcloud/topics/direct_link_to_mp3_files
http://support.soundcloud.com/soundcloud/topics/download_link_url_not_working_in_itunes_podcast_feed?from_gsfn=true


So just to be sure:

- a youtube video URL would work in Music Collection?

One last question:

- the 'buy now' or download link could also redirect to e.g. the soundcloud download link without to much hassle?

If so: great!

1 - well, soundcloud seems to allow direct URL... so if that's the case, no problem!

2 - youtube links work in Music Collection, in the VIDEO field of each song (if you enter a particular song, in this demo, you'll see a sample video. well, that video is displayed just by entering the youtube URL, yes)

3 - the buy now button is just a link. so it can direct to anywhere you want!

Germi

OK purchased it. Installation works great.

Anyway, where to enter the URL`s to the songs? There only seems to be the option to upload a File instead of a link.

Something in the configuration?

On that song page, instead of putting a file in the the box next to the browse and uploading it, I just typed in the full url in the box that is next to it on the left. Making sure I included the http in the front of the url. That has allowed me to play songs from my other server that is on another domain.

ThX! That works.

Is it possible to have this Field in the frontend user upload Fiels?

Now its the 'upload file' field instead of this one (which has no name?)

I see its called the 'youtube url' field. I would like to have that available for frontend users instead of file upload.

well, the youtube URL is a different field (its for the video) and its already on the frontend.

I understand what you want is the free text field for SONG url in the frontend.. right?
don't you see a "text field" before the UPLOAD option in the song form page?

Thats right.

After Clicking 'add a new song'(frontend) you see (By the way: there is no 'add a new song' only album + songs or artist):

disc num
song num
position
name
file (upload that is)
length
change

I would like to have that URL text field here. Maybe its the wrong menu item?

edit: just be sure I would like to have the URL text field instead of the current Upload file option. Could you please give me the pieces of code (if necessary) that I need to change?

ok, sorry, now I understand. I was thinking you talk about the SONG form, but you are actually talking about the ALBUM form.

ok, here's what you need to do:

open /components/com_muscol/views/album/tmpl/form.php and go to line 518

where you see this: type="hidden"

please change "hidden" for "text"

then open /components/com_muscol/assets/songs.js line 38 and do the same

that should to the trick

Germi

Thanks, I will try to change this.

I was talking about the song form. (Disc Num Song Num Position Name File Length Change).

To my understanding the File will change to a text field after this change, where a user can 'upload' a link to a file.


Germi, I'm sorry to ask one more thing.


The menu item I linked to in the usermenu now list 'Album details', 'Songs', 'Part of a set'.


1. Is it possible to have frontend users add songs and select the album they belong to without auto creating a new album?

At the moment every new entry creates a new album... (not necessary for each new song)


2. To have users to be able to select to create a new album, instead of auto creating it?

e.g. having to select 'create album' or not creating a NEW album per default as in the current situation.


I'm not sure if I am linking to the right menu item as these things same so logical :unsure:

1 - not out of the box. yiou'd need custom coding for that.

2 - what you mean? I mean.. there's currently no option to "automaticaly" create it...

Germi

Germi

Thx. I mean that there is no option to add a song now.

The only option there is, is to add an entire album. So if a user already created album X, but did not list all the songs, its not possible for an other user to add his songs.

No other way of fixing this?

Its build as if every user always adds and album + all its songs?

thx again

Germi,

That 'hidden' and 'text' trick didnt do it.

Could it be that just replacing the 'FILE - upload file' field with the Youtube link field would do the trick?

I really like to change this

mm.. no, it should be taht.

the HIDDEN thing should REALLY to the trick.
no offenses, but.. are you sure you did it right?

I'm pretty sure this should be the solution!

Its just two replacements uh?

Or do I need to replace more in those lines or something?

I can the files if you want so you could have a look?

Germi, should I add the files here so you can have a look?

hi,

I'm very busy these days preparing the upcoming version for 1.6. if you contact me back at the end of this week, when the version will be out, I'll take a look at the files and see what's missing... ok?

sorry for the delay...
Germi

OK I'll add the files later on.

Just want to make so that members are able to upload youtube and other links, not files.

Here are the files. Really need help on this

[file]

I'm not allowed to upload files?

How can I get them across?

what does the forum say when you try to upload? what's the error?
try to make a zip file...

Before you buy the components I wanted to know, you can set the folder to another server
Because my files stored on another server and the site on another server

yes, absolutely.
this is a feature included in Music Collection, you can just place the URL of the song on the external server. No problem.

I need to took a folder from another server, not in stalyat address every time an audio file

My friend is such a component, but he does not know how to do it, I saw a demo component
In misconfiguration on the component, there is a line of music server for which this line?

I'm going to make a serious site because I want to learn in detail and choose which components are best suited for this purpose

I wanted to know more can I watch the demo admin panel

I don't completely understand what you ask... are you using Google translate?

I don't understand the question. streaming songs from external server is OK, you just have to manually put the name of each song, manually.

Sorry for the bad translation


I mean let's say

Address of the site where there is a component

/home/klod/domains/my_site.com/public_html

And the files are located on another server
/home/tipax/domains/ohter_site.com/public_html/music_folder

the path is entered as an URL, not a FILE PATH.

hey, are you using Music Collection already?

germi wrote:

No I do not use this feature, because I have not decided and I can not choose my desired component
There are several musical components Joomla i do not know what to choose
My friend is your component but he does not know the answer to my question
So important for me to find out the details before you buy a component
So I wanted to see the admin panel component that would verify

I understand that as your component can not take the files if the folder is located on another server?

yes, it's can play song from another url or server

it PLAYS the files from an external server.
I told you, there is no problem with that. for instance if your song is in this URL:

http://www.anotherserver.com/mysong.mp3

you just type this into the field and it will play OK!!

I hope you understand my question correctly?

I'm ready to buy your components

No, I do not mean it that way
Because paste each link in the field is not easy, given that a lot of files
I need a component that has scanned the files from another server

I am very impressed with your component, but I need that would not put every once in a reference paste or write URL field hands, but what if the component could to scan files from another server

I have the same question. I think what he means is this:

Is it possible to upload a song in the frontend or backend and the song is uploaded to another server in a specific folder?

then no, scan files from an external server is NOT possible.
this cannot be done in a web server...!! it's not possible.

No I do not mean
I mean that I have downloaded audio files on another server and the site is on the other, and I want that component to scan files in the folder that is on another server
Everything is so simple that that is not clear?

I have already answered this, please read above:
Scan from ANOTHER server is not possible.
it is only possible to scan the SAME server.

Songs can only be added one at a time to MC if they are on another server, via entering the url of the song. MC can only run scans on music that is local and on the same web server as MC is running on. It does not support nor have access to run scripts on external servers where it is not installed.

When you "upload" songs from another server, you are NOT uploading the song to your server. You are just pointing MC to the song on that other external server. The song does not get copied or moved. If the song gets removed from the external server, then it can no longer be played in MC.

Mass entering songs from an external server can be a little tricky since you can not run a scan on an external server. I have seen some people mass enter all the music information through 3rd party scripts. For example, you would need to have access to the server that has all the music on it. You can then run an application to export the file paths, artist, album, and song titles, and save it in a text file. Then it is just a matter of running a sql import script to get all that information mapped and into MC. This is not something that MC can do by default, as it is fairly uncommon and every users situation would be different. If you already had a list generated with the file paths, artist, album, and song information, you might be able to get germi to do this as custom work at an extra cost. It shouldn't be to hard if you already have this list saved as a well laid out csv file. Again this would only be used to point MC to the music to play it and does NOT copy or move any of the music over to your website where you have MC running.

I hope that helps clarify.

No, I do not mean it that way
I already have downloaded audio files, files located on another server and the component is on another server, I mean can the components of which scans the files are located on another server
It seems simple to explain?

@megallodon, stop asking the same question. I answered you several days ago

NO

your question: "can the components of which scans the files are located on another server"

my answer:

NO
