Video Genre Field
Using Jamroom
douglas:
I just tried changing the URL from Music to Audio and it is possible and not that hard to do...
1. Go to your Audio modules info tab and change the URL to something other than audio so we can use that for the URL.
2. Rename your music.tpl to audio.tpl
3. In the audio.tpl file, there are 5 links that you'll need to change the URL from music to audio.
4. In your side_music.tpl and music_genres.tpl file, change the form action parameter to use audio instead of music.
5. In your header.tpl, change the music links to audio.
6. Clear the cache and test.
Hope this helps,
Douglas
Hi Douglas, once again thanks a lot for the support.
Thanks for your modification Tips. Then, I have just noticed that I will loose the word "audio" in the audio URL/page which is something that I don't want to.
I would like to keep it the way it is:
e.g.
http://demo.jamroomnetwork.com/richard-hefner/audio/1/deep-purple
The URL looks great and it makes sense.
Unfortunately, "music.tpl" can not be renamed to "audio" without renaming the audio module. Because "audio" will already be using by the audio module. Unfortunately that is the way it is.
Right now in JR5 it is impossible to have the text "audio" as a standard (default) word in all URLs regarding audio files.
Example, you can not have:
http://demo.jamroomnetwork.com/audio (listing all the audio files)
and
http://demo.jamroomnetwork.com/richard-hefner/audio/1/deep-purple (showing a specific audio page)
which would have definitely made sense.
Apart from changing music.tpl, side_music.tpl and music_genres.tpl, hearder.tpl or renaming files when needed, please bear in mind that we still have Music by play, Music by rating, Music Charts, Music Charts Weekly, Monthly, Yearly etc to edit.
The same procedure (file name changing and file editing) you show me must be done with "artists" in order to change it to "author".
You have shown me how to modify things and renaming template files in order to get things more generic. Now what do you say about skyn update? Have you tried to imagine how will the skin/template update be handled or difficult? All this, just because one needed to have a more generic looking JR5 site?
JR5 can be used out of the box without almost no major skin modifications, maybe just little things needed to be made in the header and footer. JR5 is ready to go.
Unfortunately, IMHO, making JR5+Skins more generic to be used by non-music/artists-based site is the only thing that requires so many template file edition/modification/hacking, template file renaming etc.
That is the reason why I am talking about a more generic JR5 in my other post:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/using-jamroom/2387/a-more-generic-jr5
All skins were made with music/artists interest only in mind, not for non-music/artists-based site.
