Hi,
I have had this issues for quiet some time now and I hope you guys have a solution for this. (http://www.chizomiz.biz/dev)
alright,
so I have the "playlist" module loaded on all pages (its on the VERY TOP of the page). now, if you try to access an album through the main page (the ADDED ALBUMS MODULE) everything is PERFECT. works the way it should be.
Now if you try to access the the same album through the menus things are different. the playlist all of a sudden gets filled with ALL THE SONGS.
I've got 2 menu items both directing to "Music Collection / Search". one is on the top, and one is in the USER MENU. what's causing this?
examples :
this is the Ok link :
http://chizomiz.biz/dev/component/muscol/h/8-hooman-sezavar/13-hokm
same album but accessed through the menus :
http://chizomiz.biz/dev/albums-test/h/8-hooman-sezavar/13-hokm
what am I doing wrong?
p.s. HOW do you clear a playlist as a visitor?
THANK YOU SO MUCH
(I have high hopes in this component eventhough its giving me a lot of hard time, I am sure I set things up wrong)

0on that note, it looks like when I create a menu item to link to music collection, If I use any of the SEARCH choices (Default, Detailed, Grid ...) it automatically FILLS the whole playlist with all the songs.
and that's what I need to use because that's the only way I can show all the latest albums added with their detail.

0I'm not sure if I understand your problem on this...
if you use a SEARCH view DIRECLY, it will return ALL results (is that what you want)
SUGGESTION/SOLUTION: you should use ARTISTS view instead, wich already has the search bars, OR simply USE THE SEARCH MODULE!!! (but never access the search view without passing parameters, wich is actually what you'r doing)
you know what I mean?
your second link says "file not found"
another suggestion: are you using the MC ITEMID parameter? this is probably the key of all this. you should fill it with the itemid you want to use for all the MC part on your site. you know what I mean? -

0I don't think we quiet understood each other. sorry
please have a look at the 2 following links, both link are the same album only accessed differently. 1- accessed through music collection's "Added Albums" module on my main page. 2- through a menu item I created. Please look for the PLAYLIST which is at the VERY TOP of the page.
1- http://chizomiz.biz/dev/component/muscol/h/8-hooman-sezavar/13-hokm
** Works As Promised **
2- http://chizomiz.biz/dev/music/albums-download-album-%28zip%29,-tracks-%28mp3%29-and-create-save-playlists/h/8-hooman-sezavar/13-hokm
** The playlist is filled with all the SONGS in music collection **
BY THE WAY WHAT IS MC ITEMID that you brought up?

0a couple things:
first: I dont see playlist on the first link, only the second
second: on the second, yes, all the items of your collection are in the playlist. THAT CANNOT HAPPEN unless you made a modification. let me explain: the playlist should be EMPTY. if its not, it means that you modified some code of the module to make this happen (you said you hired a programmer, right? well, then...ask him, because he did something). therefore I cannot help you on this, because I dont know what code did he changed.
ITEMID identifies wich modules to render on each page, so you avoid the problem of having diferent modules rendered depending on how did you access the album -

Germi I've already talked to my programmer and he said it has nothing to do with him besides he's a super pro and his job has been fixing things not breaking them. in any case the point is to get this fixed somehow.
this ONLY happens if I create a menu item to link to music collection using any of the SEARCH sub-choices (Default Layout, Detailed Layout & ect.) and that's what I need. I created a menu item set as EXTERNAL LINK and gave it this link : /component/muscol/ and everything goes well after that. what would be the link to music collections SEARCH PAGE where it also shows the latest albums , maybe I give that a try.
in conclusion the playlist behaves differently according to HOW you access music collection. just try browsing around the site and you'll see.

0yes, I understand that, and that's what the parameter ITEMID works for
just give me admin access and I'll try to fix this for you...
I believe your programmer is a super pro
but so am I, and I can tell you the playlist cannot be automaticaly filled unless you change some source code... look at our site: the playlist says "No valid filetypes found in this playlist" because its emtpy. so should your be for me, as a "new" user. you know what I mean? -

0the solution was, as I tell you, the ITEMID.
I cannot explain you what an itemid is in Joomla, it would be too long
what I did: linked both music collection and its modules to the itemid 9 (unassigned, I think), using the PARAMTERS. that way all the links are created the same way
other suggestion: you could avoid this using the Artio jomsef plugin for joomla... because thats a SEF thing
