Audio File location in JASympony Audio Articles?

ae3d1

In JASympony when setting up the RELEASES page, where are the audio files coming from?
Obvsiouly they need to be preloaded into a server.
The Article type has to be AUDIO
but

A) Where do you enter the Audio File URL?

😎 Does the file need to exist from WITHIN the Joomla installation?

C) Can it use an (.mp3) that exists in my other domain and or server?

Hi
yes, you can upload it on your server and give the path of the file.
It support mp3 file, you have to provide correct path of the file from site.

I found an issue with this setup.

I asked if the file can exist from OUTSIDE the Joomla installation or Joomla ROOT. You said yes.
I asked if it can exist from an ALTERNATE server. You said yes.

But this isnt working.

Im looking at the article "Demacia Rising" which exists in the DEMO version.
The mp3 path you use in the demo is
images/joomlart/audio/item-3.mp3

youll notice it does not start with "http://www.website.com/" instead its directly calling from the IMAGES folder.

I edited this file into: http://grooveclip.com/mp3s/ThePlaylist/xxxxxx.mp3 for example.
THe file doesnt stream / play when i click it in the article so i looked at the webpage source code.

It has taken "http://grooveclip.com/" and it added a PREFIX
When you look at the page source it says "/symf/http://grooveclip.com/"

the folder /symf/ is the folder i have installed this version of joomla into.

Why is it calling a subfolder when i am hard linking?

In trying to resolve this issue i came across this warning:

Warning! Path Folder
Changing the 'Path to files folder' from the default of 'images' may break your links.
The 'Path to images' folder has to be the same or a subfolder of 'Path to files'.

Which means that NO the file can NOT exist from outside of the Joomla installation.
THis is exactly what i was asking about in my original message. Can you please clarify?

Hi
The Audio is defined for the site root folder.
So you only need to select the file from the site folder to give a user friendly way, upload and select file.
If you want it to load from external uRL.
Open file "/html/layouts/joomla/content/audio.php" in template "ja_symphony".
Find and remove :

JUri::root(true).'/'.

Line 42
Original code: $audioLink = JUri::root(true).'/'.$src;

This will remove the site URL from file path.
Now you have to add complete path of audio files
