when i tried to look in the documentation for webmaster resources, i get this.....
There were no results returned for your Search Query!
There were no results found for the search string you entered. Some suggestions to help in your search:
Make sure all words are spelled correctly
Make sure your search term is at least 4 characters long
Try a different Search String
Try Searching Again
there used to be a whole area for resources for webmasters. i spent so long looking for it, i forgot what I was looking for it for.....
Big guy your gonna have to have a somewhat of a whole new help section on jamroom version. Just thought that would suck. Maybe you should make a forum specified for that so people who have been working with jamroom 3 can answere specific questions so it will be easier to make the help doc.
Me loves it already.....answers a couple of questions without even being complete
Although I always have one.... does the jr_flash_player smarty player work just in artist themes. Probably worth splitting into "style/theme" for ease of reference. Probably easier to update that way as well.

Great stuff, what's your ETA on the release?
I think realistically Jamroom 3.0.1 will likely be Tuesday - I had hopes for tomorrow, but the beta team and I are still doing some last minute testing. I'm out of the office for almost the entire day on Monday, and I hate releasing right before I know I won't be able to be around a lot, so Tuesday morning would be good since I can be available for support issues, etc.
I also just flushed out the Jamroom 3 documentation outline, so any feedback on that is welcome:
One suggestion with the new version. For the installation guide, you may want to add a section for root install. Since v3 is more CMS, I think many will make this their main index page.
I think as jamroom goes forward, something really well laid out with a pro search function like robohelp has...will be invaluable (not to mention you can publish it 1 time for online and downloadable documentation, I would like to have it on my desktop personally ).
When I'm trying to find an answere I need to search/find right away before I stumble out of my thought process...the help docs here have been a bit difficult in those regards. Usually I have more luck finding an answere by searching the forums- then being directed to the specific help doc I need. Sorta backwards, but it works best when I'm trying to find an answere here.

That robohelp looks cool, but is also $999 that's a bit too much for me here. To be honest, I think the "search" (on jamroom.net - not the forums) works pretty well, or at least better than the forums. I find that the most relevant results are almost always on the first page.
I'm open to any other ideas as well - I've tried a few open source help system, and have found them a real pain to work in, so it needs to be easy to update, edit, etc - the current setup I use works well for me in that regard.

Okay... I just built my own table of contents creator that's realy easy for me to work with.
Instead of looking for any alternate packages, I REALLY like that everything on Jamroom.net is integrated with my custom CMS, so any suggestions on ease of use, or other suggestions, please feel free to let me know.
I'd really like everything to be easy to use and intuitive, but being a programmer at heart, I know that my idea of what is "intuitive" is likely different than a lot of others, so feel free to offer any suggestions you may have.

When I log into PayPal it tells me I have to "Activate IPN" in order for a website and Paypal to talk. However it has a place that it ask for a URL for paypal to send information back to. I have searched the forums and documents but have yet to find any such url to put in that section of my paypal account to activate IPN. Any suggestions?
Ok after playing with the script I see now If I want Jamroom to completely handle every thing without modification, my users have to upload a song at the same time they load a new vault file. The vault file needs to be the exact same song. This will put the cart code with the song on the audio page and of course in the vault page. You can not show the vault and the cart codes will be on the audio page still. Cool! The store needs to be turned off and of course uploading 2 of the same songs eats more harddrive space because 2 files are uploaded at the same time. But until the new updates change all of this, it works for me.
