How to View your Audio Album on the Frontend

Introduction

You can add nested or multi-part audio content to create multiple audio albums, podcasts, etc. After adding the audio tracks to the album, you can display them in the desired order on the front-end. First, you need to add an ‘Album’ or 'Parent' content and then you can add the ‘Audio Tracks’ or 'Child' content (see the below screenshot for nested or multi-part audio content structure)

Creating Nested Content Groups

Before creating the nested content, you can create the structure of the nested content. You can define how many levels will be in the nested content. For example, you create a two-level group like “Album” and “Tracks” to create audio album, podcasts, etc.

• To create a group, navigate to “Content Management” -->”Content Settings” in the CMS.
• Click on the “Nested Content” tab.
• Click on “Add New Content Group”.
• Type the Content Group
• Select the Number of Levels form the drop-down.
• Type the “Level 0” name (e.g., “Album”)
• Type the “Level 1” name (e.g., “Track”)
• Select the “Display of Level 1”. That is how you want to show it on the front end. Select the structure (i.e., Drop-Down, Separate Page, Heading, Tabs)
• Click on “Save”. The new group will be created. You can create multiple groups to add different types of multi-part content.
• You can also, “Edit” a specific “Group” or delete a “Group”.
