http://www.undiscovered.com.au

This site uses more than a mouthful of modules and took around 3-4 months of Drupal hacking to get it up and running.

Here's what users can do:

  1. Create a profile page
  2. Submit their mixes and Original Tracks
  3. Rate other mixes adding comment etc
  4. Chat on the forum
  5. Post classifieds
  6. Post DJ/Clubbing Events
  7. Add Buddy's to their profile
  8. Subscribe to most of the content (get alerts)
  9. Private message each other
  10. Create polls for voting on various topics
  11. Keep a Blog
  12. + more stuff....

Anyway check it out and let me know what you think.

that looks Great! really nice job..

questions for ya:

1) your using jeroen player with audio module right ?

2) how do you get the music player to popup and then the links in the popup to always update the original page back in the browser?

3) what audio module function did you need to override to theme both the audio teasers (mixes) and the popup player contained in it?

4) is that the fivestar module for voting? how did you insert that into the teasers for each mix (which theme function)? and i'm not allowed to vote as an anonymous user - must i be logged in to vote?

5) i noticed that music mixes seem to live at path music/mixes/feb07_house_mix (and similar). is that basically an audio node with pathauto at work?

6) this path http://www.undiscovered.com.au/music/house/deep_house appears to be taxonomy. is that correct or is that views? because normally the word 'taxonomy' would be embedded in the url path but i don't see it so how did you override that?

and how did you synchronize the url path taxonomy terms to be reflected in the breadcrumbs which parallel the taxonomy listed in the url path?

thanks.. a really nice job!

Hey,

Thanks for taking a look, I'll try and answer your questions:

1) Yes it is the Jeroen player. I chose this because I could use the playlist feature to stream offsite mp3s which enabled me to count count the plays. There's some serious moding in this area and at times not very pretty ;)

2) The popup player was a bit tricky to get it to work in all ie's and FF. If you look at the source you'll see code that refers to window.opener. the difficult bit for the popup player was getting the drupal environment in a popup.

3) There's a lot of hacking to get the site to use various audio themes, I made several of my own themes and switch between them using code.

4) Yes the voting it's fivestar. The teasers are done with a massive view which I use arguments to filter each music type and yes you need to be a member to vote, leave comments and get a direct download link to mp3s.

5) Yes you're right. this is pathauto at play here. It gets rid of the taxonomy/ style links. You also need to apply them to categories as well as nodes.

6) For the breadcrumbs, I initially tried taxonomy_breadcrumb and it almost worked :( So resorted to custom_breadcrumbs

Thanks for the praise.. I hope these answers help.

few more..

thanks for the answers..

a few followups (i'll use numbers to refer to the prior post)

1) can you say more about how you feed external files to the jeroen playlist? i don't see that on your site but am wondering how to do that as well. an example link from your site would be great so i can get an idea of what you're talking about.

We hacked a prior version of

We hacked a prior version of the audio module so the user can choose whether to link or upload audio. There's quite a few changes that were made to enable it to do this. But we basically create a standard .pls file (or headers) and the location was just specified as a URL not a relative path.

Hope this helps...

Would it be possible to get

Would it be possible to get some more specific details on getting the Jeroen module to work with the audio content type? Especially to enable it to use external links/urls to mp3s. Could you make your modded version available for inspection?

Wow! Nice!

hey great website, good job!

have a question for you.... how did you create userlist page? this one: http://www.undiscovered.com.au/profile

I want to make something similar for my userlist. Did you use grid view for that or what? How did you theme the whole thing? and how do you make it so that it just have 2 columns?

Thanks in advance, great site, once again.

hi there,
very nice page you build up :-)
i am currently planning to build a similar community like ur's but was wondering what will be the best way to manage "Team DJs", which are registered users and also "DJs" - all the other Artists who are not registered on this site but will play on one event. Did you build your own module for handling djs?

greeetz,
tobi

Sweet
