Music Database [version 2.x through 3.0 beta]

[Cccddd]

aight. filemanager 1.0a2 released on my pkg server.

Changelog:

1.0a2
* added "Files" graphic button (thx to babylonking!)
* downloads are now done through the script, so file paths can't be figured out
* added more filetype icons
* fixed a couple install bugs
* renamed a couple functions to save from confusion with other mods later
* maximum file size and directory size configurable in admin page
* file size is now checked by script, not just html (asshole prevention)

I upgraded to 1.1 beta 1 yesterday and I can't seem to pull up the lyrics db anymore.

I added:

'music' => array('Music.php', 'Music'),
'musicadmin' => array('Music.php', 'MusicAdmin'),

into index.php.  Is there something else I'm missing?

Thanks,
Jason

yeah man. you need to re-read my post:

ONE MORE BIG PROBLEM!!

You will have to completely remove all versions of the music database previously installed. This means removing all tables, all files, everything, in order to use this version. I will make a converter for v2.5 -> v3.0 later, but for now, there is no converter. Fresh install, or the large website gnome will trash your stuff!

The problem is that I renamed and added stuff to the sql tables, so its all sorts of different now.

if you were knowledgeable in sql, you could import the stuff on your own. you just gotta figure out how to import the stuff from table to table.

no the package server is up.  currently the music database 2.5 is the current most stable version  then there is 3.0 beta 2. if you new to smf i say wait for 3.0 final or stick to 2.5.  or if u want 2 try it out the beta use it on a test board first to make sure everything is fine.  its up to you.  also 3.0 beta 2 need the filemanager installed.  ask Cheschire so he can give you mor edetaile dinfo if you want.

Is there a working model of the latest version of the Music Database? I've been keeping track of this and I decided to wait till it becomes final.

[Cccddd]

I don't have any working models installed at the moment due to the fact that I spent the last couple days refurbishing my old mods, so my beta board kept getting reinstalled to test the packages.

Lil_J usually installs all the latest versions though even though I repeatedly say not to so you can probably ask him where he keeps it installed.

As far as figuring out WHEN the mdb will be final, I was waiting to release a stable version until the filemanager becomes stable, but I think I can add some admin options that hide all of the aspects that rely on the filemanager mod until that gets a stable release.

I didn't upgrade your mod at all so I'm not following you here...had I changed your mod, that would make sense to me...

Do I need to upgrade it in order for it to work with 1.1. beta 1?

Thanks,
Jason

Do any of the mods work with the beta version 1.1 beta 1 of smf? I thought we were advised to not install the beta smf for a site with mods because mods have not yet been changed to work with this new beta version at all?

[charlottezweb]

I don't believe it's true that *ALL* don't work, but I can see ones that are heavily imbeded might not.  This one is basically independent except for some calls for the music pages -- Cheschire, correct me if I'm wrong.    I'm no expert, but I believe SMF versions shouldn't impact this mod once installed for the most part -- (other than needing to update the newer files to input the proper include commands which I thought I'd one).  Again, I'm no expert, so I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

right sorry i didnt read your post close enough. too many 1's so i guess i just saw the "beta" and was like omgz dont install it!!1 1

right so anyways, i havent tried it with beta 1.1 yet. i have no idea what problems there may or may not be. most likely this will mean a 2.6 release. ******. that means i probably have to go clean up some more code. maybe work in a better uninstaller or something. oh well. dual trees. this is horrid. i need more people to work on a mod this large.

[Azraeliitti]

Where I can edit the max length of lyrics? I think the allowed amount of letters is too small

[Cccddd]

geez you think 2000 characters is too small? you might want to try not repeating choruses...

anyways just do a search for something like 2000 or 2500 or something. i think i will make that an admin interface option in 3.0

[Cccddd]

ah btw i just released 2.6 in the stable branch. those of you still using 2.5, i suggest downloading this before rolling over to SMF 1.1.

It wasnt any big changes. I dont have time to work on 2 mods with more than one branch, so i only changed what i needed to make it work in 1.1. I didnt add or remove anything else.

Well, it's not that I get any error messages, I just don't get the lyrics page.  It just refreshes my main page boardindex.  So it may be an oversight of some piece somewhere on my part?

This is what you get for designing such a needed and awesome mod!

nah the problem was just the way that i queried mysql. i dunno what changed in SMF 1.1 but i had a good idea of what was causing hte issue. luckily my first guess was rigt and it was an easy fix.

Music Database Beta 3 released!

The primary focus for this release was to get the mod working without the filemanager, so that I can hit a stable release on htis mod without having to do so on the file manager.

Please uninstall the old version before installing this version. There is no upgrade script, and lots of random changes have been made that you wont want to make yourself.

I just installed the mod, everything says succesful.

But nothing appears, or what m I supposed to see or do?
I don't see the option in the control panel erither ( Edit Features and Options ).

Very Nice mod Cheschire!!!
