sorry my english
ok.i´m new and at the moment i have not get a newsletter from your site.
Now I know that.

Music Collection 2.2.1 has just been released, compatible with the new discogs API

Files available on YOUR ORDERS

for Joomla 1.5:
install the file com_muscol_upgrade_220_to_221.zip using the Joomla installer.

for Joomla 1.6 and 1.7:
download the file com_muscol_upgrade_220_to_221_1.6_NOT_AUTOINSTALL.zip
this is NOT an autoinstallable file. You have to unzip it first, and then copy the three files it contains into the right directories:
/administrator/components/com_muscol/controllers/albums.php
/administrator/components/com_muscol/views/albums/tmpl/default.php
/administrator/components/com_muscol/views/album/tmpl/form.php

This new version does not require an API key from Discogs to work.

big thanks. will download and test it now :laugh:

wow it works with discogs now .thanks :laugh:

but my player don´t play the songs. :S
what is now the problem ? fuck inch:

what you mean it does not play? you mean songs that you had already there, and that were playing before?

(remember that discogs is only for getting INFO, NOT the files!)

Hi germi..
my Discogs in 2.2.0 version work good..
I need to update the new version 2.2.1?

you should. the old discogs API (the one used in 2.2.0) will be closed by Discogs on December 15, so it will stop working. only the new API will be valid, which is the one included in 2.2.1

so, if you use discogs, yes, you should upgrade. it's a very simple upgrade, it only replaces 3 files on the backend.

Thanks

i have found the problem.
i had created an other folder for the songs with the same folder rights.
the folder is in the same root.
in settings changed.
i can scan and found the folder, but not play in the jw player.
now i have changed back in settings to songs folder and the player play all files.

@ germi:

if i search an album in discogs - found the album - and click to use it.
your component use all entries. thats nice
but it uses not the artist from discogs.
i must always create the artist manually before.

can you change it, that your application use also automatically the artist from discogs ?
it´s a hard work to create all artist manually

I'll work on that. good suggestion!

i have the next problem.
i will go to my backend.
i scan my folder with all tracks.
i can say all files in the folder. thats ok, but also a problem.
if i have for example 10.000 files in it , i can these not use for a new album.
if 9990 files used for albums, i can not see the new files to put it in a new album.
it must be give a search button for show all new files that are not in use from com_muscol. i hope you understand me ?
so i can not create a new album with the songs. i must put all separately in the album.
i´m an admin and can use putty to copy files if the files already on my server.
It would be very helpful if you could incorporate that.

the next question.

the letterbar A-Z is only for artists.
in my music, we cotalogize the music in cat-number from vinyl or label name.
can you put in the option, what the letterbat be display?

- artists
- cat-number
- label name

can you do it ?

hello

well, that is definitely something absolutely new.
it can be done with custom coding, of course! but this is not something we plan to add as a regular version at all...!

if you're interested in customization, let me know!

Ok

The next question.
In your comment System , not jomcomment - it be displayed the real name and not the username.
Can you fix it please to change this in your settings?
I use only usernames on my website if a user post something.

it's not something to "fix", it's not a bug...!
you can change this manually changing a bit of code on the layout file. are you OK with modifying a PHP file?

yes a little bit.
which file is it?

but the problem is, if you get a new update or new component - the edited php file will overwrite ?

it may overrite, yes... so you will need to have this in mind.
file: /components/com_muscol/models/album.php

line 373 approx:
you see this:

SELECT c.*,u.name as username FROM #__muscol_comments as c

well, just change for:

SELECT c.*,u.username FROM #__muscol_comments as c

ok thank you very much. i have fix it. :woohoo:

but i think more users will have the option to change this
all big joomla apps have the option to change the real name to username.
and your application is big and great.

I just recieved this email from discogs;

Hello, We are writing to you because you have registered for a Discogs API key. As mentioned here: http://www.discogs.com/help/forums/topic/234138we will be phasing out the version 1 API and would like all current users to upgrade their clients to use the version 2 API. API version 1 will be discontinued on Jan 15, 2012. Please make sure to upgrade your clients before then. And let us know if you have any questions. thanks,Discogs

After the upgrade to 2.2.1 Joomla 1.5. editor buttons are missing in albums form (Insert image etc.)
:unsure:

if you open /administrator/components/com_muscol/views/album/tmpl/form.php line 231 you see this:

echo $editor->display('review', $this->album->review, '550', '400', '60', '20', false);

just replace the last "false" for "true"

echo $editor->display('review', $this->album->review, '550', '400', '60', '20', true);

Thanks a lot!

Hi Germi..
I have copy the three files into the right directories but now I have this error when I search on Discogs:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare AlbumsControllerAlbums::get_discogs_release() in administrator\\components\\com_muscol\\controllers\\albums.php on line 279

Can you help me?


EDIT: The problem is that there are two times the function get_discogs_release on the version for Joomla 1.6.. in the versio for Joomla 1.5 the albums.php is correct.
