How to edit and translate genres and Categories?


Using Jamroom

pch:Well, by entering a new genre while uploading an audio file, will it replace (modify/update) the old genre or will it create a new one (a separate one)?

The only thing that created is the song which will have the genre you selected (or entered) as one of it's data keys.

If you want to go back and CHANGE existing genres, you can modify the songs and change the genres. If you need to do it in bulk use the Batch Editor module.

There is no such thing as "deleting" a genre - every song will have a genre, and the genre will no longer exist once there are no more songs using it.

There are no plans to change how that works.

pch:Will it make any sens having genre or category duplication? If a site has 4 languages installed, it will end up having a lot of genres: 4 genres, one for each language version.

True - that is what you would get.

pch:Hope things will be improved in future Developments.

Like I mentioned earlier - trying to provide multi-lingual content is going to be a challenging issue for you - I'm not aware of any CMS's that handle that, but it might be worth looking for alternatives (or find a way to integrate Google translate) as there are no plans to move in that direction with Jamroom.

Jamroom's multilingual support works great for all areas that are NOT content created by a user (i.e. menu entries, etc.).

How to edit and translate genres and Categories?


Using Jamroom

pch:Hi Brian,
Thanks for your reply. But it seems you didn't understand my question.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I would like:
1) To modify (edit) an existing genre, not to enter a new one. e.g. When uploading a audio file, I created a genre called "Song". Later, I would like to edit and rename the same genre to "Music".

Yep - I understood you - how I outlined it is how it works. It's important to understand that genres don't live on their own - they are part of the data for a song. So to CHANGE a genre, just enter the new genre you want that song to use and it will be changed. There's no "editing" of genres.

Quote:2) To create a set (list) of genres/categorie at once, ready for the next use, instead of creating them one by one when uploading new audio files. Now the problem is when trying to create a list of genres using the Form Designer, the first genre I created earlier when uploading my previous audio file, is not there. So, how to create a list of genre using form designer that will include/incorporate the existing genre?

You would just to make sure the existing genres are present in the OPTIONS for the select and text field (directions on doing that are in the HELP drop down for the options field in the form designer).

Quote:Also thanks for your reply confirming that there is no multi-lingual support for genres or categories.
Here is a scenario:
We have one audio meeting recording (in english), the same meeting file was translated/interpreted later to Spanish and many other languages.
In JR, we added the English version of this file into a genre called "meeting". We would like to add the Spanish version of the very same meeting recording. Should we create a new genre/category called: "reunión" (which the word "meeting in spanish")?
Please give me your opinion, a good approach of handling this scenario.
Thanks

Yeah I think you could do it that way - the key here is understanding that the genre for an audio item is another piece of data on the audio item (just like the title, length, etc) - it does not live separately from the audio item, so if you need different genres they will need to be entered as options in the form designer (if you want them to pre-exist for users to select from).

Let me know if that helps.

RSS Error


Using Jamroom

derrickhand300:Maybe I should tell you what I am trying to accomplish because there is probably a better way than this...
On my page that displays a full size video- in the right 3 column side I want to show a list of video titles/thumbnails of the latest videos uploaded-the same type template that youtube has when you go to their site and watch a video...I am wanting to do the same thing for IMAGES...

That is not related to an RSS Feed - that would just be a standard jrCore_list call...

Click on the "YouTube" search button when creating a new youtube video - you can import multiple videos at once using the search.

How to edit and translate genres and Categories?


Using Jamroom

When you modify the audio file, you'll see there is a field for the genre that we call "select and text" - you can either:

- pick an EXISTING genre from the select list
- or enter a NEW one in the text field.

So in this case you would just enter the new genre you want to use in the text field.

There is no multi-lingual support for genres or categories - these values are USER CONTENT so are not translatable (outside of using something like Google Translate).

Email Sync for NEW members with Aweber.com


Suggestions

There are no plans at this time to create a module that works with aweber - if a user steps forward and wants to sponsor it's development, then it can be created (that's how the Mailchimp module was created).

I know that's not what you were looking for, so sorry about that...

Upgrading from very old Site Builder


Using Jamroom

iamtimbo:Ok - I'll give it a bash at some stage soon. If I remember correctly, it should import all the menus and sub menus, shouldn't it, even if they need reformatting...?

Yes - it should import those for you.

derrickhand300:Any way to get a feed from combined video?

use "video" instead of "uploaded_video" - i.e.

yoursite.com/feed/video

Let me know if that helps.
