Frontend Media Details Page in MediaLibrary 3.5.x Shop
- Pathway
On the top you will see the Joomla pathway (breadcrumbs) reflecting where
you are inside
MediaLibrary. That part can also be used for easy navigation; the links
are clickable (except for the current location).
- Media
PHP 5 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro
- Media Details
This shows all Media details and the Media cover, retrieved from Amazon
by ISBN/ASIN or entered manually in the Media Manager-> Edit Media
in the backend.
- Buy Now
The [Buy Now] button shows up when
you have enabled this option in Settings
Frontend. You can decide there for which categories you want to show
this button. You can select multiple categories by using
CTRL + click in Settings Frontend.
When enabled, the button shows an internal Joomla link, which when
clicked changes to the Amazon (or to yours site internal page for
VirtueMart) page for the Media, with your Amazon Associates affiliate
ID in it. This protects the affiliate link from showing when hovering
over the button. The affiliate link is also hidden from download managers.
If you want, you can change the button by replacing the image file, called
buy_now.png – for Amazon and
buy_now_vm.png for VirtueMart. It
can be found in the directory
/components/com_medialibrary/images/amazon/.
- Lent To
This field will show who the Media is lent out to. Only if you have enabled
Show Lend Status for the frontend
of course. See screenshot below.
- Lent from - until
This field will show from when until when the Media is lent out. Only if you
have enabled Show Lend Status for
the frontend of course. See screenshot below.
- Media Description
This shows the Media description entered in the Media Manager -> Edit
Media in the backend. This can either be retrieved from amazon.com
automatically (only works reliably from amazon.com, for copyright reasons!)
or entered manually. Once edited, please remember to set the Media's
Fetch Information from: field to
"On your own" in the backend. This will prevent further overwrites through
Information Fetching. In the MediaLibrary Shop Media descriptions, the use
of external plugins is allowed and provided for.
- Lend Request
This button will provide your users with the ability to submit lend requests
for the Media listed in this detail page by pressing the
[Lend Request] button. In
Settings Frontend you can set the
rights to determine who is allowed to submit Lend Requests for Media on your
site. You can select multiple user groups in Settings Frontend by using
CTRL + click. A screen print of
the [Lend Request] form will be presented in a next article in this section.
- Reviews
The header for the Reviews section.
- Add Review button
This button provides your users with the ability to add a review or comment
about the Media shown. Only if you have set the option
Show Reviews in [Settings
Frontend] of course, and only for the user groups which you have set to
allow this option to. If also enabled for Guest users, then the form will be
accompanied by a CAPTCHA screen as an anti-spam measure. In Settings
Frontend you can select multiple user groups by selecting CTRL + click. A
screen print of the [Add Review]
form will be presented in a next article in this section.
