Changing default music directory that is shown

[NAvAP]

I have 3 music sources, the first is my regular music folder, second is music in a foreign language, and the third is the random stuff that doesnt belong in an album or whatever.

Now if I log in my left frame is populated with all the directories of the 2 sources that are not really as "important" for lack of a better word, and if I have a friend who wants to browse I'd rather him not get bombarded with foreign language artists and the like .

Ive tried playing around with left.jsp but as I dont know jsp it becomes a little hard to figure out how to write it properly.

Code: Select all

<select name="musicFolderId" style="width:100%" onchange="location='left.view?musicFolderId=' + options [selectedIndex].value;" >
     <option value="-1"><fmt:message key="left.allfolders"/></option>
     <c:forEach items="${model.musicFolders}" var="musicFolder">
            <option ${model.selectedMusicFolder == musicFolder ? "selected" : ""}

value="${musicFolder.id}">${musicFolder.name}</option>
     </c:forEach>
    </select>


Thats the code for the drop down box in left.jsp, is there a way to make option 3 selected by default. So that the generated html looks like:

Code: Select all

    <select name="musicFolderId" style="width:100%" onchange="location='left.view?musicFolderId=' + options[selectedIndex].value;" >
        <option value="-1">All folders</option>
       
            <option  selected value="3">My Music</option>
       
            <option  value="4">Hindi</option>
       
            <option  value="5">Random</option>
       
    </select>

Hi,

In the upcoming Subsonic version I've implemented support for remembering (across sessions) which music folder a user has selected. Hence, your friend will only need to select music folder once, and it will be remembered the next time he or she logs on to Subsonic.

I think this generic feature is better than some ad-hoc modification for your particular case.

Hope this helps,
