Featured artists?

0
I noticed that this demo site got featured artists on the front page?! Where can you make artists featured? I can't find that option anywhere?!?

Some artists have agreed to support my site with full albums that can be streamed and listened to, so I want those artists featured.

Any help please?

    featured artists is a module: http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/downloads/doc_details/23-featured-artists-module.html?lang=en

    you can place it wherever you like ;)

    I've tried the module, but on your demo site it only shows on the first page. Do you use a custom frontpage for MC?

    And I don't really like the module, for some odd reason some album covers don't show :s

    Is it possible to just show an artist picture with it's name, instead of the standard detailed view? Now it's very confusing, because it looks exactly the same as standard artists which are not featured.

    on the current version theres no picture for artist shown. just what you see.

    to make it only show on the frontpage of MC (artists/detailed) I made this:

    put the module on an un-used position, for instance lets say user8

    then on the INTROTEXT params of MC, wirte this:

    {loadposition user8}

    where you want the module to render...

    and that's all..!! :) :)

    oh wow, that's a really clever trick ;) I always wondered how to show modules in the content without popping up elsewhere.

    thanks Germi, now I know a lot more about Joomla :)
