Creating a music history site using Genosis

Jamroom Developers

Hey Helmut,

thanks for your input on this subject. Did you get round to installing a test site for your project?

I'm looking into how I can tie various JR sites data for different Cities bands into a single site. I don't know if this can be achieved yet, but maybe some API setups and modules need done for it to work as I envision it. Pulling some data from other JR sites would add an extra layer of complexity but it also would expand JR into another realm of 'Community' site(s) for those interested in this sort of thing.

Mick.

Creating a music history site using Genosis

Yeah, I think you have me sussed, Paul. It seems like we have the same idea for this kind of site, thanks to Pete Frame's project. I like your plan for an 'organic' site, this is just what I had imagined for my project too. We can't be the only ones with this idea, I'm sure. Did you figure out how to link (common musician's) trees? This would be an important aspect, I think. I also thought of incorporating Venues too, as they are associated with multiple bands and solo artists. Some venues may no longer exist but it would be a good thing from a historical point of view.

Creating a music history site using Genosis

Jamroom Developers

Hi Guys,

I'm planning to create a music history site that can tie musician to the various bands they play with during their lifetime, and how musicians in all cities around the world work with, and in association with each other, making up a city-wide musical family of sorts, with ever-changing band members and influences.

I've been curious about the Genosis project for a while now, but never got around to installing it. Now I'm wondering if I can use or tweak the genosis modules and skin to work for my music history project. If anyone has a Genosis installed would you please send me a link so that I can have a look at how it works. Ta.

Mick.

After a lifetime of playing music

Off Topic

Thanks Paul, and thanks for the link. I think this was from a TV bit when the slabs were beginning to be laid. Last weekend was the official launch (I think) so I suppose there will be links popping up soon enough. When I discover them I'll let you know. My name is listed under one of my old bands, 'Mafia'.

I also hope you continue to get recognition for your own contribution (and that's plenty of years) to the music scene in England and beyond.

Rock on bro.

After a lifetime of playing music

Off Topic

This is slightly off-topic.. but I thought I'd share some good news with you guys..

Last weekend I was honoured to be inducted into my home city's Music Hall of Fame and had my name carved into the city's paving stones alongside some of the best musicians in the world, most of whom I've had the honour of playing with over the years.

I'd like to thank all the music fans of Dundee City and the organisers of the event for this great honour.

Mick.

Bundle savings currency change

Thanks Paul, that worked fine.

I've created an audio bundle with the currency set as euros, but when viewing the item list it shows the price saving in dollars.

What do I need to change to have it show in euros?

Video and audio uploads not converting

Using Jamroom

Arvixe was a HUGE problem for me a few years ago. They even kept taking payments from my CC for months after I asked them to close my account. (They done away with the User being able to close their own account and delete CC details).

If you do have problems with Arvixe hosting, give me a shout. I can give you hosting on one of my servers that already host Jamroom sites for my clients.

Better still, if you're not that experienced with the platform it's best to get a basic Server from the Jamroom Network. That way, all the support you'll ever need is included in the price.

customising iskin

Design and Skin Customization

Thanks Nate.

I can see a few references to 'jrISkin' in quite a few templates, so thanks for suggesting that. I was just about to upload the new skin files when I saw your post. I had only thought about changing the include.php and config.php so I'm glad of your (timely) input.

I'll let you know how things progress.

customising iskin

Design and Skin Customization

I'd like to add a few modules into the $_mods = array of the lists in the drop-down choices. Is it just the case of adding new module arrays into the existing iskin's config.php file, or should I first clone the skin then add the new mods, then upload the newly cloned skin. Here's the array I'd like to have...

$_mods = array(
'jrProfile' => 'jrProfile',
'jrAudio' => 'jrAudio',
'jrVideo' => 'jrVideo',
'jrBlog' => 'jrBlog',
'jrEvent' => 'jrEvent',
'jrGallery' => 'jrGallery'
'jrPage' => 'jrPage',
'jrProduct' => 'jrProduct',
'jrServieShop' => 'jrServiceShop',
'jrCombinedVideo' => 'jrCombinedVideo',

Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Mick.
