MyMuse for Joomla4 Released!

September 6, 2023. MyMuse for Joomla 4 (version 5.2.0) is released.

This is not a fudge of the J3 version made to work on J4. This is a total rewrite of the Joomla 3 version using the latest Joomla coding standards and best practices.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

With MyMuse you can

  • Sell your tracks online
  • Create Artist/Albums/Tracks, or as we call them, Caegories/Products/Tracks
  • You can create multiple Artist-Categories and assign the products to several
  • You can sell different formats of the tracks (ex: MP3 and WAV)
  • An audio module can play prviews from each page.

Subscribe for your copy today!

UPGRADING

Version 5 includes many database changes and improvements. We can now track sales of different formats.
Because of this, the upgrade from J3 is not trivial and there is no path to go back.
For that reason you should make a BACKUP of your site including your database. You should try things on a staging copy of your site first.

Upgrading any Joomla site from 3 to 4 can present challenges. Make sure all other components and plugins are Joomla4 ready.

4.3.0 Adds Custom Fields, Category Tags, Grid templates

The latest version of MyMuse adds integration with Joomla's Custom Fields and Tags.

You can now add Field Groups and Fields to your MyMuse products. This is a great boon as you can add as many custom fields as you like. If you put them in a field group, that group appears as a new tab in the Products Edit page. For templates, they are accessible in a $products->jfields array.

You can now add Tags to MyMuse Categories. First create the tags in the Tag Manager, add them in the Category Edit page. They can be accesssed in tempaltes with JHelperTags:
$itemtags = (new JHelperTags)->getItemTags('com_mymuse.category', $this->child->id);

The stock MyMuse templates have been rewritten to to use CSS Grid instead of tables. On mobile devices, rows for Track listings or oder items turn into 'cards'. Much improved layout.
If you use your own custom tempaltes, see about integrating the grids into yours.

Off the Road, Back On the Road: Roadmap for J4

Dear followers of MyMuse, I had to take a detour the last year to help care for my mother with Alzheimers.

All is as good as it can be, and we are back into the dev-mobile.

We plan to upgrade the site and find a way to crack down on the bots.

 

ROADMAP FOR JOOMA 4

 

We are in the midst of development for MyMuse for Joomla 4. We are taking this opportunity to rewrite MyMuse natively in Joomla4 style and to make a number of improvements to the database structure.

We plan to hvae a beta version out by the end of 2021 and a production version out in early 2022.

 

At this point, DO NOT upgrade your site to Joomla 4. It will not work with the current MyMuse.
