solved add "Empty Playlist" help text to the profile tab.

This would probably be categorized as an improvement for all skins and I hope it will help out new users on all Jamroom sites.

Could an {if} statement be added to the Photo Album and Playlist item_list.tpl files that would explain (when the list is empty) that the user has not added any pictures or songs yet and then give a link to the site-wide gallery and audio page so they can begin to explore and add media they like?

This would also offer an easy way for Jamroom admins to create and link custom "discovery" pages for their users.

I am finding that "getting started" is the hardest part for new users, once they navigate around a bit they are impressed, which is good.

Thanks for considering this

I think that's a terrific idea! I do notice that members (especially new members) are sometimes confused as to why they are lacking various content tabs on their profile page...while seeing those tabs present on other members' profile pages.

...just another satisfied Jamroom customer.
Migrated from Ning to Jamroom June 2015

It can be done by changing the
/modules/jrPlaylist/templates/item_list.tpl

from the end:
to

But whether it should be there by default or not, im not sure about. We dont have a "click the + button to add an audio file" for the audio module or any of the other ones.

So the question becomes a "should documentation of how the modules work be included in the modules themselves".

Not sure it should. mmmm....

That worked great! Thank you so very much. This is what I used for the playlist module.
