Jamroom Support: View topic

Brian · Jamroom Team

I have just updated the Jamroom Downloads Page with the latest version of Jamroom - version 2.14. Up front I want to say thanks to everyone for their patience in waiting for me to get this version released, as I have just gone through one of the busiest stretches in my life! Wink

With that aside, there are quite a few bug fixes in version 2.14 that came up in Jamroom 2.13 and earlier. Here is a list of the changes in Jamroom 2.14:

CHANGES:

- Added a new Jamroom tool - "Update Artist .htaccess files" - this
new Jamroom tool (located in the Admin Menu -> Tools section) will
go through your Jamroom an "update" the .htaccess files that are
in your jamroom/songs/id and jamroom/uploads/id directories to the
latest version supplied by Jamroom.

- the .htaccess file that is written in to the jamroom/bands/id
and jamroom/songs/id folders has been changed from a redirect
to a Auth type scheme. This should prevent anyone from being
able to link or view inside these folders.

- Added new "Max Hifi Bitrate" and "Minimum Lofi Bitrate" options
to the Jamroom Config. You can now set both the min and max
bitrate allowed for song files in your system. Check out the
Jamroom Config for details.

- Fixed a bug in the song.php "Modify Song" section where imports
were not showing even if enabled (was working for Add Song, but
not Modify Song).

- Fixed a bug in the message.php script where the "Arrange Messages"
was not working correctly for Admin Messages.

- Fixed a bug in the message.php script where new Artist and Admin
messages were being inserted at the "bottom" of the list. New
messages will now show up at the top on the Artist pages and when
using the admin messages in a template.

- Added a new "Log Filter" section into the Log Browser - this will
allow you to search by keyword through your Jamroom log - you can
search on the log priority, user, ip address or text.

- A bug was fixed in the contact.php script that would allow an
empty email address to slip through causing a foreach() PHP
error.

- Fixed a bug in the message.php where a foreach() PHP error could
come through if you were using the "show_messages" option and had
no messages in the database for the artist (or for the admin).

- the sendEmail() function (in jamroom-misc.inc.php file) was
updated to better handle bad email addresses.

- new Russion language support (special thanks to Igor!)

- fixed a bug in the Theme Generation that was causing the "Total
Plays" text string to be emptied after 1st pass when doing a
Generate All from the admin menu.

- Updated the theme generation so the "counter" variables in the
Artist Themes are now available outside of the generation loop -
i.e. the following variables can now be used for testing:

{SONG_COUNT} - number of songs by the artist
{MESSAGE_COUNT} - number of messages by the artist
{RADIO_COUNT} - number of radio stations by the artist
{ITEM_COUNT} - number of items in Artist store by artist
{EVENT_COUNT} - number of events in the Artist calendar

This will allow the creation of dynamic menus where you would like
to test for the existence of items before showing the menu item.

- Added the ability to define the "popup_width" and "popup_height"
in the theme's config.cfg.php file, and it will override the system
config setting. To set, you can add the following 2 variables to
any theme's config.cfg.php file:

$themecfg['popup_width'] = '500'; // width in pixels
$themecfg['popup_height'] = '500'; // height in pixels

To upgrade from Jamroom 2.13, replace the following files in your Jamroom (make sure and make a backup copy of your sripts first!):

jamroom/*.php
jamroom/include/*.php
jamroom/language/english.lang.php (note that song string 101 has changed - translators may want to update the other language files to follow suit).
jamroom/language/russian.lang.php
jamroom/config/language.cfg.php

That's it and you should be upgraded.

Please let me know of any problems you may run into with this new version - feel free to post them on this thread.

Thanks!

- Brian

I am particularily fond of the log filter! Now that is cool...makes admin a little easier!

Also-

- Added new "Max Hifi Bitrate" and "Minimum Lofi Bitrate" options
to the Jamroom Config. You can now set both the min and max
bitrate allowed for song files in your system. Check out the
Jamroom Config for details.

Is there an easy way you can think of to down sample the really high bitrate songs on the system? I think I have like 34 songs that are over 192kbps, but I want them to be 96kbps. hmm

I dig all the new features...PS- the .htaccess auth works super good! But I wonder, my shell script to clean out the files in the uploads/* directories, will that also clean out the .htaccess files? Or is there a way I can change rm -rf /uploads/*/* to skip .htaccess? I had just realized my cleanout script might clean to much...

I also notice:

- Fixed a bug in the song.php "Modify Song" section where imports
were not showing even if enabled (was working for Add Song, but
not Modify Song).

Seems to still be broken? I see there is the option now to import the MP3 files which was broken before, but it's still missing the import images.

Oh yeah, and where does "dir_htaccess" come from? Is that an apache setting, or a php setting? I assume a php setting but I don't see it in the php information...

Thanks Bigguy!!

Cheers!

Not that I know of - other than to set your lofi encoder up temporarily to encode at 128kbps and then pick those songs...

Paul · Jamroom Team

Uprevved - looking OK sofar, except -

don't think I have any Russian speaking users yet, but how do you install it?

You don't say to copy '/language/russian.lang.php' over as well, but I did anyway, and it doesn't appear in any of the language drop downs.

looks like there's something going on with the server...I can't get anything to load there

http://www.neworleansbands.net/

Looks like they're having some routing problems, as the requests time out half way to the server...not at the server.

Cheers!

Can i update from 2.12 to 2.14 directly? is there any topic or file show me how to update?
thanks!

djmerlyn · Jamroom Ustad

You should be able to upgrade directly by replacing the following...

jamroom/*.php
jamroom/include/*.php
jamroom/config/language.cfg.php
jamroom/language/*.php
jamroom/templates/index/default_index.tpl

Then fire up your jamroom and double check everything is working right Smile

Cheers!
