Hi there!! Thanks a lot for this piece of software. Is great. Now, I've downloaded the source code, but when I try to open it in VS2005 it gives me an error about the ajax toolkit. I do have the Ajax toolkit added to vs2005.
I also tried to open the website on VS, and it did not give me the error. I just did some cosmetics changes to it, but I want to add some stuff ( and take some out ).
Any help will be appreciatted.

Please refer to the Developer Instructions. You'll notice that the web.config is empty. We have devised a way to manage the config files so that many developers can work on the project simultaneously without having to keep changes the config files. Let me know if any of your changes need to be added to the core code base and I'll give you write access to the subversion repository.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. I did see those instructions, but at the beginning it says that those instructions are deprecated and I didn't pay attention to them. The changes that I want are more cosmetics than anything else.
I want to add a blog for music news and expand the player to play videos.
More ideas to come.
Thanks again for this great software.

Quote:at the beginning it says that those instructions are deprecated and I didn't pay attention to them. Yea, good point. I should move those developer instructions somewhere else. I stamped the thread depreciated because I wanted users to start using the Wiki for installation instead of a forum thread. Quote:I want to add a blog for music news and expand the player to play videos. That's a great idea. A rolling music ticker or something like that would be awesome. I considered a few features that never made it into the final release such as a feature that would give you all the concert dates for any artist in the getartist page but since our user base is primarily outside the U.S. I wanted to be able to make the CMS as global as possible. Let me know when you have the new features in place and you can publish them on our subversion server or just email them to us to be placed in the next service release or revision.

You just gave me another idea >=). I'll let you know as soon I finish the changes.
In the mean time, is there a way to force kick-off the scanner; it hasn't updated since the las scan last night, and I've added more albums to the collection.
I tried to clear the cache, delete cookies, etc.

Bad news if the FileSystemWatcher is not kicking off and you're sure you entered in the correct psth. This would be indicative of a larger problem. In any event take a look at your log file and search it for a new album you added that has not appeared in the collection. You will likely see an error message relating ISession or any of a number of errors that have been reported based on IIS settings and various permissions settings over the versions of IIS. In any event, you can stop the App_Pool and the website in IIS manager, then delete the logfile. Restart the App_Pool and website and log back into the site from a client. This will kickoff a new scan. If this new scan does not resolve the issue you're having then start a new thread and we can work together to identify what's going on with your installation (why the FSW is not triggering?)

Well, the problem is not the software or IIs or anything like that. I changed some of the tags of some of the mp3s without stopping the scanner and that seemed to mess up the DB. I had to delete the DB and re-start the application pool and IIS; that fixed the problem.
So in order for this not to happen again there's 2 options:
1 - stop the application pool and IIS and then modify you MP3s
2 - before you put you MP3 in you file scan path be sure that you don't have to change them =P
Now onto my last question before I plunge into programming weekend:
is there a admin/manage page? there's on missing from the source code, if not no biggie, I'm planning to implement one anyways.

Once the scanner finishes it's first complete scan and goes idle, you should never have to do any administration. You should be able to add, delete and modify files in the file system and the CMS takes care of it's business behind the scenes. If you're having to do this administration just to change a file then something is not functioning correctly. When you change an ID3 tag you need to rename the file to trigger the FSW but once you do that the Modified Time attribute is changed, which triggers the File System Watcher, which updates the database. jmarte wrote:

The management page was never completely migrated from v1.2 but Symon added most (if not all) of the features we wanted in the management page in his Mp3CmsMembershipProvider.cs and Mp3CmsRoleProvider.cs classes). We just ran out of time in building the UI for it. ;) Looking forward to your work in the project! Please join the MP3-CMS Project Mailing List so any question you have can be answered by all the developers (I'm usually the only one checking this board)
