I've just finished updating the Jamroom 5 downloads page with the latest Jamroom 5 beta release - beta 5:

http://www.jamroom.net/Downloads5

This new release adds a TON of new functionality and features, as well as fixes bugs that have been reported to date. Some highlights:

New in the Jamroom Core

New "jrChainedSelect" module for creating select form chains (i.e. the choice in one select form element changes the options in the "chained" select form element).
Performance and bug fixes in the Data Store - systems should be faster and more responsive.
Updates to jrDeveloper module to bypass all caching (as long as developer mode is checked) - this really helps during development.
new {jrFollower_following_count} smarty function for getting following counts for a user_id.
A ton of bug fixes and tweaks to make everything work better

I've also uploaded the latest version of the Jamroom 5 Super Pack - we've added and updated almost every module included, as well as added a bunch of new features:

New jrFoxyCart module for adding sales and subscriptions to your Jamroom - note that this is the FIRST release of this large module, and we'll be working on it extensively over the next week to make sure it is solid.
new jrUpimg module - upload images directly from within the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor.
new jrSeamless module - combine multiple Data Store list calls into one to create powerful listing options.
new jrRecommend module for recommending music to viewers based on artist influences.
new jrMailGun plugin module for adding MailGun email support to the core.
all new jrFlashback Skin - this is a Jamroom 5 version of the Jamroom 4 Flashback skin - it also includes the "Sage" CSS theme. This skin has been designed as a replacement skin for the Jamroom 4 Flashback, Sage and Cobalt3 skins.
updated jrEmbed module allows embedding of media into posts created in the TinyMCE editor.
major updates and enhancements to the jrOneAll module for linking up to 20 different social networks for logging in, signing up and posting to a user's activity stream.
all new jrVideo "dark" video player skin + MP4 conversion support for mobile devices.
updated jrNewsletter module now with better unsubscribe setup and delivery options.
too many other tweaks, bug fixes and updates to list.

So we added a bunch of new stuff to the Super Pack (bringing it to 24 modules and 2 skins), which is an awesome deal - if you have not picked up the Super Pack yet, I'd recommend doing so soon - this is likely the last beta release before Jamroom 5 comes out of beta - at that time you will no longer be able to buy the Jamroom 5 super pack.

I highly recommend that everyone do a fresh install of this release - it's not required, but we've tweaked a lot of the existing menus and templates, and it may require some manual DB changes if you want to remove stuff from previous installs (mainly in the jr_jrcore_menu table).

If anyone has any questions about Jamroom5 beta 5, please make sure and post any issues or questions in the Jamroom 5 Beta forum:

http://www.jamroom.net/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=24

All of us on the JR team hope you enjoy this new beta release of Jamroom 5!

Thanks!

- Brian

Hi..
Can I get a clarification on what the chaindselect option is and what will it do, and where and how is it to be used..

TIA..

Michael · Jamroom Team

Think its for things like selects with different levels. eg cars make and model

a select box for car makes:
* mazda
* honda
* toyota
etc....

Then another one for the models
* 323 //only for mazda
* hilux //only for toyota.
etc....

Its not specifically used anywhere right now in any of the modules, but it is available in the 'Form Designer'.

The 'Form Designer' is like "Custom Form Fields" was in JR4 where the admin can add new fields for the different forms.

Its an extra field type for building the forms you need.

If you check out the demo site I've set up some chained select fields in update profile for country/state/city and in audio for genre/sub-genre.

After getting this error I tried running the install.php file again and I get this error:

jamesd116 · Posted: 04/09/13 06:01

if all else fails you can do a fresh install create a new db and go back into your settings and change the db to the oldone and delete the newly created db... ive done this plenty of times

Thanks James! I'm pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff but I'll definitely try that if I don't come up with something even easier. It's sounds like it would be simple but I can see myself screwing up the database by hitting the wrong button somewhere.

Paul · Jamroom Team

I assume you've run the integrity check? Its a long shot but sometimes helps.
The problem is that JR5 puts lots of stuff on the database and during beta, if we decide to do something a different way, or make other changes, old database entries can remain ready to bite!!
Are you getting anything in your error logs?

Paul · Jamroom Team

Well, it looks like there two instances of the jrGuestBook_quota_config() function !!
Also, the GuestBook quota.php file only has 48 lines. How you somehow appended instead of overwriting when updating files?

That's weird... Everything seems to be working fine now! I'm not sure why "jrGuestBook" was in there twice since I just copied everything the same way. I just deleted the oldest jrGuestBook and that seemed to fix it. I ran the integrity check and the info shows that version 5.0.0b5 is running so it's looking good right now.

Thanks to everybody who had some input!
