you don't need maiansearch for the component to work.

The plugin will extend the joomla standard search to include maian media albums... If you have 30 albums or less, you probably don't need search... i would think most users will simply browse your catalog;


in the meantime, as far as getting the component to install, just upload the 2 files from the zip (maiansearch.php and maiansearch.xml into the plugins/search directory.

Installing the tmp directory gives this error:

How Do I? is an error in xml? or component works without this plugin

Hi:

This one is a head scratcher for me. I changed out my artist's free download song recently, tested it (it worked) and now it doesn't ... and neither do any of his other songs download for purchase. They were all working fine previously. The previews work just fine. I suspect that something is wrong with the file path, but I don't know where to look. I have the mp3 for download file outside the public folder as it always has been. Any suggestions?

answers are inline:

- pay on download (Paypal gateway, i.e) and download directly for some free items
>> YES

- possibility to select more than one article to benefit reduce final pricing (-20% off upon 10 articles
>> volume discount - yes if you group them into one 'album'

- display the detail product in a modal box (click to enlarge) with the the detail of the cart
>> yes but you would need to customize the template, add the necessary classes and add the necessary jquery plugin to handle the modal; you could also try using Modalizer from nonumber, and then assign the classes in the template.

- after payment, the user can choose to download the same product in 2 different ways (emailing template or emailing template ready to install in a J! component like Acymailing i.e.)
>> yes you can provide 2 different zip files on the downloads page, however this could get tricky since you would need to appropriate the artwork field for one of the 2 formats, or use Rereplacer for every link to add a 2nd format in the case of it being tracks);

i think you have to recognize that this component (stemming from the original Maian Music php script) is structured with a certain 'business logic' , and that is very much related to the selling of audio files that are grouped into albums (similar to iTunes).

It is always going to be difficult to take this and try to use it for something not related to music.

Hi all,

I have to create a "online shop" for Joomla materials (mainly templates for emailing and newsletter) and extensions (modules, mainly).

I search for a Joomla component (prefer for a 2.5 version) with such features :
- pay on download (Paypal gateway, i.e) and download directly for some free items,
- possibility to select more than one article to benefit reduce final pricing (-20% off upon 10 articles,
- display the detail product in a modal box (click to enlarge) with the the detail of the cart,
- after payment, the user can choose to download the same product in 2 different ways (emailing template or emailing template ready to install in a J! component like Acymailing i.e.)

Is your component ready for such features ?
Thanks in advance for your complete response.

Regards

Acutally I meant which maian media template; but anyway if you are seeing the field
Album artwork(zipped), that is the correct field;

however there is a bug that will prevent you from selecting a zip file using the media browser.

You will need to just type in the URL to the zip there, since the media browser will not display zip files... i think something needs to be changed in the code to make that a file browser instead of an image browser.

not sure i can really help..sounds like more of a joomla installer issue...

you might try uploading the .zip file to /tmp and install with the URL to that location.

see these for more info:

I loaded the album artwork zip file in the album folder in the FTP site and when I try to link it, the zip files don't show up. Which folder on the FTP site do I have to upload the zip files for them to be able to be linked to the album for purchase?

Thanks,
Michols

Right that would solve the issue. So an album for the desired tracks have to be created first :-).

Thanks for that :-)

Hello I am trying to upgrade from Maian 1.3 to to 1.5.8. I am never been able to install the component through the upload, but I have always been able to install from the directory. This time I try to install and I get the error message Please enter a package directory. what am I doing wrong?

I have joomla 1.5.22

A great feature would be the ability to set a Track / Albums release date.

This would be good as it gives people the ability to see the track / album but they wont have the ability to purchase it until its released.

Seems as if i can add an empty album fine but the creating of tracks does not happen. it seems as if you HAVE to select an album when creating a track otherwise the track is NOT created.

Is there anyway for me to clear ALL tracks from the tools as it states i have 4 tracks when I only have 1 because of this issue

Cheers

Just worked on it and found that the changes must be performed to several files. I decided to backup and try to overwrite all the files, including the admin. It works fine... till now. It shows the comments and found no problem. My question: are there any sql changes on the php files from the 1.5.8.2 to the 1.5.8.4? Should I run the sql file on phpmyadmin?
I'm using the latest but it still shows 1.5.8.2 so I believe the code is on the database, correct?
I hope it doesn't create any problem. If you can, please give me your opinion regarding to this. Because I couldn't get the upgrade to use the database (only 2 tables) I decided to go around it.

Thanks!

JP
