solved Missing Add Button For Audio, Video and Youtube

I installed Jamroom and all the modules that I purchased. I enabled all the modules and add them to user profile in addition to adding the licenses but when I create an account and then go to the profile page to add songs, I cannot do it. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Have you enabled the modules for the profile quota?

Yes I enabled that also. You can see for your self. I can send you a private message with the information if you want.

Do that, or send to paul [at] motagator [dot] net

Is there a way to create a song without the audio file? I want to be able to add songs to a chart without putting a song there.

The charting system is going to adjust itself upon how many times the song has been played.

Those songs with more plays get higher chart position.

So without an audio file to play, the song would never get onto the chart.

I need to know what mysql table I can modify in order to provide custom streaming stats. Basically I want radio stations to report the total number of streams, and plays they have for each song each week that way I can compile them and update it in Jamroom so I can have a universal music chart. I built the script for the reporting part and used it on Jamroom 4, however I am not sure which table to use in Jamroom 5.

Try using the jrAprana module to build create a starting point.

Then use the Form Designer to add in the fields you need.

"Using the Form Designer"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/1275/using-the-form-designer

mysql tables are not going to help you because JR5 has a new data storage system called 'datastores'

"Datastores"
http://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1023/datastores

That setup will allow you to enter whatever data you need into the database and retrieve it.

I think the best option for this would be a custom song module.
Maybe use jrAparna to create the base module, say xxSong, which will have a title field. Then use the Form Designer to add in any additional fields needed.
Make one of the added text field 'song_stream_count' so that you can manually (or otherwise) log the plays. You can then chart by that field.
(Note - any numeric field that ends with '_count' can be charted)

Thank you both. I am going to try that and see what happens.

where can i find the jrAprana module? I search the marketplace

disregard. I found it. I will get back to you all once I start using it.

I just thought about something. If I am going to report the chart information I must be able to load the songs in the module title field, unless I disregard creating a new module and just do it from the audio module.

I would like to display the total number of streams on the audio support module when updating the file. Is there a way to do that?

If you still want songs without actually uploading a file, you could still use the jrAudio module by disabling the file upload field in the form designer.
(Have not actually tried this)
Then add in a text field called 'audio_plays_count' (say) then chart by that field.
The audio_play_count text field will show in the create/update forms.

from what i understand:
* instead of charting the song plays on your actual site, you want to be able to manually input the number of plays of the song into a field in a form related to that song. There does not need to be an actual playable song.

So for that scenario I would forget about the jrAudio module, you dont need it. jrAudio plays songs that have been uploaded.

I would use jrAparana to make another module called xxChartable

That would give you a module where when you click on the + button you would see a new form with only:

TITLE: ................

and you could enter the title of the song that was chartable.

From there I would use the 'Form Designer' to give that module an input field
'chartable_plays_count'

That allowed the user to input a number.

my guess is that should be enough. just update the song name with the current plays each time you get a new number and it should be chartable.

ok. and I wouldn't have to do anything different in order to add them to the music charts, meaning I don't have to add the chartable fields to the music chart template?

You would need to edit the {jrCore_list ...} in the charts template to tell it what module to list and what to chart by (chartable_plays_count).
