JR Chat Icon


Using Jamroom

The Firefox dev tools make it really easy to see what CSS is being applied to what sections:

1) Tools -> Web Developer -> Toggle Tools
2) Click the "Inspector" tab in the developer tools
3) Click the icon on the VERY FAR left of the tabs - it's a small square with a cursor pointer (see the red box in my screenshot)
4) Click on the website what it is you want to inspect - i.e. a button, chat pane, etc. You'll see as you move your mouse around it "highlights" the sections of the code source.
5) after clicking on something you'll see the CSS RULES get loaded on the right. You can then see what is overriding stuff, make changes, play with stuff, etc.

Spend 5 minutes in it and you'll see how it can quickly help identify issues on your site.

How do I delete old modules and skins


Using Jamroom

izhmel:
There was a way to delete old modules ,i.e. (system core 5.0)

It's still there. In your ACP -> Core -> Marketplace -> Global Config set the "Marketplace Versions" to the number of versions you want to keep including the current version. So if you set it to "3" you'll have the CURRENT version + 2 older versions.

Change your setting to what you want it to be then run an integrity check - if your changes mean older module and skin versions need to be removed it will happen during the integrity check.

Interesting about invest or buy new custom plugins


Design and Skin Customization

I hate to be bearer of bad news, but we have no plans of a mobile app. I hate to say "never", since we could get someone to sponsor the $50K needed to develop an Android or iOS app. But beyond the massive amount of work required to build a mobile app, there are just a ton of issues involved with developing for mobile.

Instead we've focused on the mobile web and that's where our work will be.

Of course using something like Proxima:

https://www.jamroom.net/proxima

As an add on to your JR site works well with a mobile app, so if you're very serious (and have the $$) then you can always hire a mobile development company to build an app for you. Just be ready to spend some big money as it is NOT cheap, and you'll want to investigate Google and Apple's developer TOS, since I believe on Google you are not allowed to sell music through an app. Just an FYI.

We are definitely open to sponsorship of new modules. Note that we do not do any "exclusive" module development - everything we develop could be released (depending on how useful we feel it would be to other JR users), so if it is something we think could be useful you'll get a better price on sponsoring it. Sponsoring development basically moves it to the front (or near the front) of our development and priority queue so it gets done quicker. You get first access to the new module as well.

Let me know if that helps.

Lost the trashcan/delete icon on Index page Timeline in jr6?


Using Jamroom

Strumelia:
On my jr5 live site, I have the nifty 'delete' trashcan for items on both profile page Timelines and on the Home/index page Timeline of my site. This hover trashcan enables admins to delete an item's mention from the activity feed (without deleting the actual item from the site).
On my jr6 (non-live site), I seen that a 'link' icon has now been added for both the Index page and Profile page Timeline entries. The link icon takes you to the Timeline page for that item, such as: yoursite.com/profilename/timeline/9 That's a cool new feature (though I'm not sure why it doesn't take one to the actual item instead of to its mention in a timeline- seems it would be more useful to take one to the actual item where it exists, like a comment on a photo for example).

That "link" icon links to the page for the specific action item (i.e. detail page for the action). This allows for things like comments on a timeline entry, ratings, etc. Since it is all templated you can change that if needed.

Quote:
HOWEVER on to my subject- On my jr6, the Trashcan icon is now missing from the Main/index page Timeline entries. It's still there on profile page Timeline entries. It's SO convenient for admins and moderators to be able to quickly remove a particular mention from the home page activity feed (without removing the item itself). This covers occasions like if a member keeps editing their video description over and over- we can remove lots of those so they don't take up the whole main page timeline. Or if some member says something I don't want to actually delete, but I dont necessarily want it broadcast on the main page of the site.

How can we get back the trashcan delete feature for the Homepage Timeline entries in jr6? Thanks!

I have a feeling this is something you added in yourself custom to your JR5 skin - can you confirm that? Typically create/modify/delete are only available ON profile since we can be sure the "user_active_profile_id" is accurately set - otherwise if you delete an item that belongs to a profile that is NOT the active profile ID for the admin, then the wrong cache is reset.

Thanks!

JR Chat Icon


Using Jamroom

I've got the chat working properly now on your site. What I did is add a little check into the chat listener to ensure it can only added the chat template code to a page ONCE. That way, even if your templates are not correct (i.e. double closing body tag) then it still works right.

Let me know if that looks better.

Thanks!

JR Chat Icon


Using Jamroom

Dazed:
Is there a way to make the chat icon change color upon new unread texts?

Thanks

It already does - if there are new posts in chat when chat is minimized, it will be highlighted. Looking at your site however, your chat is messed up - something is broken and causing the chat to be added twice.

Stream Pay


Using Jamroom

This post is about Stream Pay ;) If possible, make sure and open a new post for new issues. I've only been online a small amout this week, but will be back to a normal schedule next week.

The "profile_balance" key is common among all payment systems for Jamroom.

profile_jrAction_item_count - number of timeline entries for profile
profile_jrRating_home_item_count - "profile pulse" key for number of ratings profile has made
profile_jrLike_like_home_item_count - "profile pulse" key for number of likes a profile has made
