Hi guys

I realised my charts are not updating. Is there some setting that I have missed out?

I'm not aware of any issues with the charts - how do you know they are not updating?

Thanks!

Hi Brian

Good question! How do I know if the charts are updating?

I tried clicking on the Weekly,Monthly and Yearly but the result looks the same. Is there something that I should look out for?

SteveX had some good tips in the comments of the jrCharts docs page:

"jrCharts"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/274/jrcharts

Quote: If you want to get a sense of how charts are working over time, add this to your song_chart_row.tpl
chart_count: {$item.chart_count}
chart_position: {$item.chart_position}
chart_new_entry: {$item.chart_new_entry}
chart_change: {$item.chart_change}
chart_direction: {$item.chart_direction}

Hi Michael

Thanks for the reply.

Could you let me know where do I add this in the song_chart_row.tpl ?

Do I add these additional code to the top of the original code already there?

Those variables are already in the song_chart_row.tpl file.

I'm not 100% sure, but you may have to wait the amount of days set in the chart_days parameter in the jrCore_list function before entries start to move.

You could change change that parameter in your skins/jrNova/song_chart.tpl and skins/jrNova/song_chart_weekly.tpl files to 1 and see if that makes a difference. At least that would let you know that it is working.

Hope this helps,
Douglas

When I go to http://music412.com/song_chart , there are no chart movement. But when I click onto the second page, all listings are accompanied with chart movements.

I'm going to guess those top ten are just in that order - there;s pretty good space between most of them as far as plays go, so they are not going to "move" unless one of them actually overtakes another.

So how can I display a "TOP 10" weekly chart? This should show the 10 most played tracks.

You can use the jrCore_list function to get a top 10 list of the most played tracks.

Something like this should get you started:

{jrCore_list module="jrAudio" order_by="audio_file_stream_count numerical_desc" search1="profile_active = 1" pagebreak="6" page=$_post.p}

Hope this helps,
Douglas

Hi Douglas

Do you mean I should add this code to song_chart.tpl?

{if isset($_conf.jrNova_require_images) && $_conf.jrNova_require_images == 'on'}
{jrCore_list module="jrAudio" order_by="audio_file_stream_count numerical_desc" search1="profile_active = 1" chart_field="audio_file_stream_count" chart_days="7" template="song_chart_row.tpl" require_image="audio_image" pagebreak="10" page=$_post.p}
{else}
{jrCore_list module="jrAudio" order_by="audio_file_stream_count numerical_desc" search1="profile_active = 1" chart_field="audio_file_stream_count" chart_days="7" template="song_chart_row.tpl" pagebreak="10" page=$_post.p}
{/if}

No sorry, I thought you wanted to create a separate list of top 10 most played songs.

The Audio Chart page for Nova is already setup to show the top 10 most played songs for the week on the first page.

Is that not what your seeing?

Hi Doglas

Apparently, this is not what's happening. The songs in the first page doesn't seem to change.

They are not going to change, as there is quite a number of plays difference between them, and unless you have a bunch of users playing each track, you're not going to see any movement if it is just you playing them (as you will only record 1 play per day).

Clicking on the Weekly/Monthly/Yearly shows the same result. This is what confuses me.

Has it been more than 7 days since the charts have been live?

The Charts have been running ever since started the site (more than 2 years).

Make sure all your settings in the 'Advanced Charts' modules are setup:
yoursite.com/charts/admin/quota

so that all the users are are allowed to be included in the charting system.

Also that the charting history is long enough. By default it is 60 days.

Jamroom 5 has not been out that long - did you update from JR4?
