Another way to connect the two databases is two backup your jamroom database using phpmyadmin in your cpanel... then export it to your mambo database, this will add the tables and no editing is necessary. Very Happy

ejcdke,
ill be sure to try that thanks,however - it does seem an awfull lot just to widen 1 mod on the front page ? like the mod displays etc its just not wide enough , is all that realy neccesary ?

johnypneumo,

That code isn't for widenting the spotlight module. My code is to use the nice names bonus pack so that way you can use nice names to open a band page in the mambo wrapper. I set my site up to do this because I want all band pages to open up within the main site rather then as a separate page.

I would imagine that your module is limited by how much space you have available for the module position in your template. I really haven't played to much with the spotlight code so I wouldn't be the best person to ask about that one. You may want to look at the bottom of the spotlight code to see if it's generating any width limitations within the html code.

Mambo 4.5.1 final is out. I'm going to try an upgrade this weekend and then I'll post how things go. My site is nowhere near done so I can play guinea pig for those with stable sites.

I imagine the parameters functions of the modules will need updating as suggested by the mambo upgrade documentation. My big fear is the wrapper component as I hear it works but it's not very accessible from the backend. If I have to make any code changes I'll post an updated wrapper component since it's no longer in development.

At any rate, if you're not going to upgrade to 4.5.1 be sure to upgrade to the latest 4.5 (1.09) security fix that came out today. This fixes a new security flaw.

I'll post my findings by sunday...unless someone gets to it before me.

Everything for 4.5.1 works fine but the wrapper. Mambo 4.5.1 has a built in wrapper so you would have to update all links to use that wrapper. If I find time I'm going to see why the old wrapper doens't work because I don't want to have to remake any custom code. The modules will need some updating but not much...they do work but the paramaters is the only thing that needs fixing. I have my paramaters hard coded so it really doesn't matter to me.

ejcdke · Posted: 09/26/04 21:10

Ok, I got the old wrapper working. You need to reinstall the original wrapper component and then dump your old sql entries back into the mos_wrapper table in your database. This will keep the new wrapper in mambo 4.5.1 from working but the old wrapper works fine. I guess it all depends on how much you rely on the old wrapper code.

I'm having problems getting Mambo Post User Processing to work.

Does this mean that when someone signs-up to Jamroom, a user is added to the Mambo user database?

If so, I can't get it working, please could someone run through the config for me.

Thanks

ejcdke · Posted: 10/01/04 15:24

Make sure you put the file in (jamroom_folder)/configs directory. And make sure it's called post_user.php. If it's any other name it won't work. The only configuratin you need to do is by editing everything in the file under the #configuration header around like 24 of the file.

I'm pretty sure your mambo tables and your jamroom tables have to be in the same database for this to work...which may be your problem. I hope this helps.

I haven't tried this to see if it works but looking at your site and answering my biggest question I would like to design some new play buttons for your charts if you would like. Email me productionz21@aol.com and I will be happy to.

I personally have not upgraded to 4.5.1 but I have built sites with it that dont use jamroom, it seems to work pretty differently.

I will revise my modules soon.

I doubt I will ever go so far as to make a full component but I might.

Does any expericenced php programmer want to help me make a bunch of modules and maybe even a component.

I would also like to get the modules in a state where I could post them on mamboportal.com but that would mean they would have to be bug free and portble.

The BIG difference in 4.5.1 is the way the params work, they are all stored in the module xml file which I have not yet done.

Anyone that wants to help me update these as time is at a premium, please let me know.
