Create an audio tile

An audio tile works like an album: a cover, a text, and a list of tracks that play right on your site, one by one or in a row.

An open audio tile: the cover on the left, the player and the tracks on the right
On the site: the big button plays every track in a row; each track also has its own player.

It is made in two steps: first the tracks (Track), then the tile (TileAudio) that brings them together.

1. Create the tracks

  1. In Content Manager, click Track, then Create new entry.
  2. name: the track's title.
  3. media: the audio file.
  4. image (optional): shown instead of the cover while this track plays.
  5. content (optional): a text shown while it plays (lyrics, credits, notes).
  6. can_download: TRUE shows the player's download button. When false, the button is hidden, but this is not a protection: a savvy visitor can still get the file.
  7. Click Save (tracks have no Publish button). Repeat for each track.
A track: name, audio file, image, text and download option
A track.

2. Create the audio tile

  1. Click TileAudio, then Create new entry.
  2. title: the title shown at the top of the open tile (for example the album's name).
  3. tracks: Add or create a relation, then pick your tracks one by one. Drag them by their handle (⠿) to set the playing order.
  4. tile: open the block and fill in the title in the mosaic, cover, themes and date (see the tile block).
  5. content (optional): the album's text, shown under the player.
  6. Save, then Publish.

A track can be in several tiles (an album and a compilation, for example). Editing a track changes it everywhere.
