yeah it's ALIVE!!! It's a great one!

I did the modifications and it looks good. Quickly made some buttons and already looks and work good.

Actually it's always like that with mods(the default theme) but this morning I was still sleeping.:D

Tnx for notifying me on this one (and of course for making it too).

Ed

PS.
There's only 1 problem: I dont see anything about it in the Control panel of the forum. Is it supposed to appear there too? And other members then me can't see the Mod.
To install something for the cat's 'cut' is never nice..... (old dutch saying) :D

Cccddd

two places. first, in the permissions area. you gotta set permissions per membergroup. you dont want guests editing your music!! (or maybe you do?)

second place is at the bottom of "Features and Options" but thats only in 3.0+

HRM

A'ha! Thanks!

I have it in the permissions.

I dont have it on "Features and Options"

did you install 2.5 or 3.0 beta 3?

No Idea, I got the one from the link at the first message of this topic.

But in the Package manager it says version  2.5

I never trusted that thing though.
But I have to say this is the first mod the really worked straight away from the pakcage manager for me.

heh. well 2.5 is old. its nice for the lyrics, but it doesnt do files too well at all. 3.0 does way better on file handling, and it just feels more solid as far as the rest of the site is concerned IMHO. things are a little more intuitive now than 2.x

Cccddd

oh, i mean 2.6. I forgot i released that update the other day.

Cheschire, this is looking really good. I decided to go ahead and install the beta music database and the alpha file manager onto a test account I'm running (don't want to use it on my writing forum that is a live site yet), and I am going to try to actually convert it to be more than just a music database but a media database in that I also want to use it for movies (the genres are the types of movies like drama, horror, etc.; the artists the actors, directores, etc.; the albums the films themselves; and the songs will be the story details and/or reviews).  I think this could be converted to use even for like games, books, and others along the same lines and so why I'm calling it a media database for mine.  This will go better with my site that has movie, book, and music reviews in one area of the forum.

I just want to thank you for working so hard on this mod as the options it is offering already are very complex and the potential is really great once everything is working together fully

Cccddd

you know like a year or more ago when i started this mod, i wanted to make it a media database mod. eventually i went with the thought that i should stick with the music portion until it was solid, then move on to other aspects. Movies was my next choice actually. I was thinking about changing the lyrics page into a review thing for hte movies, and eventually tieing in threads so multiple people could write reviews for it.

i realized along the way though that music is very complex by itself, and each aspect of media is equally complex in its own right, so while this mod could be remodded into other aspects of media pretty easily, I don't quite see it coming all together like that. I'm thinking once this mod is pretty much "done" then I can move on and modify this thing into other aspects of media and package them separately.

its good to see that people are thinking outside the box with this mod though. gets me all motivated and stuff to get it ready faster! :)

Thanks Cheschire.  Will upgrade tomorrow and post back :)

I think I'll give this a spin very soon.

there was an issue i found late last night that kept the file manager features from working properly. Gotta release a bugfix today.

I think i will try to get the upgrader to work on this version though.

Alright guys! Beta 4 released today! I know I know, I just released beta 3, but when I find time to do things, I do 'em. I just happened to find 3 whole days where I wasn't doing much of anything, so here we are!

This is the last beta test hopefully. I have completed my "todo" list for version 3. everything else has been pushed to "version 4" but in reality it could just be version 3.1 or whatever. I really dont care. all I know is 3.0 is done as far as adding stuff goes. The rest is all bugfixes.

Those of you with large databases already established in version 2.x, it would be really cool if you could backup your stuff, and try out the upgrade script included with this latest version. It only upgrades version 2.5 and 2.6 SQL tables to beta 4.

I have realized that upgrading is highly dangerous with mods, because everyone writes mods differently. As such, the only upgrading that I will ever do in the future is SQL tables. Before you install any version of this mod, you need to uninstall the old version, which wont remove hte database, and then install the new version. Since the latest version comes with the sql table updater, there's no reason why this shouldn't suffice.

v3.0 beta 3 to beta 4:
* fixed problem where filemanager features wouldn't show
* added play button to song page
* song page now works even without lyrics so you can have just mp3 database
* moved all text except errors to language files
* finally added sql upgrading
* created a script that checks for old versions of mdb code from broken/partial uninstalls
* page title finally set. took way too long to do that

Eeks!!! I should not have done the upgrade (to version 3 beta) but now it doesn't work at all.


Table 'muziek4u_homerecords.yabbse_music_artists' doesn't exist
File: /home/muziek4u/public_html/forum/Sources/Music.php
Line: 118


Now I installed version 2.6 from the package manager server and it's alive again.

It's probably  the " Looks like you still have fragments from an old Music Database instal " thing.

Now I delted evrything from the package maner but still says:

2: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
File: /home/muziek4u/public_html/forum/Packages/temp/check_oldvers.php
Line: 24

Well actually you helped a lot cuz if you hadn't then someone else would have gotten screwed, so you saved someone who might not have been able to figure out how to fix it as fast as you did yourself right?

oh im a ******ing retard. It's a typo.

find this line:
foreach($key as $word)

change to:
foreach($keys as $word)

I'm still at a loss though because I don't know why my stupid server didn't pick up on that. I ran a clean install AND an upgrade and didnt have any issues with this.

Are you using SMF 1.1 or SMF 1.0?

Cccddd

ah nevermind i see you are using smf 1.0.

dammit I haven't tested with that yet. I knew I should have, but I thought I might get away with not testing because there shouldn't have been THAT much that changed. I guess I was wrong.

alright download the same 3.0 beta 4 again. I updated that package file and just dumped the check_oldvers.php file so it doesnt check anymore. I don't know what the hell is going on with it.
