Use of display:table vs. display:block for Editor


Jamroom Developers

TiG:
I am reading that we should not allow our users to use tinymce under any conditions (all devices) because it allows them to stylize their comments with HTML and CSS. Am I misinterpreting?

No - that is correct. The problem with embedding CSS is that you just can't style it. So let's say down the road you want to change the font face used on the site - with embedded CSS you can't change it - you're stuck with whatever the user has selected.

If it is a function of the site and is needed, then of course use it - that's why it is there, so it's 100% up to you.

Error: Query Error: Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction


Installation and Configuration

I have just tested with an MKV file and see no issues. I downloaded one from here for testing:

I apologize, as I know this is not helpful, but you have pretty much had constant issues on your server going on years now. Always some issue with videos not converting, etc. Unfortunately I have no feedback other than "it works here for me", and for our Jamroom hosted users it is working, so something is setup wrong or incorrect on your server.

Use of display:table vs. display:block for Editor

The TinyMCE WYSIWYG is purposefully disabled on phones - the the interface is just too small to properly deal with on small screens, and we feel it it will just be frustrating for users, so it is replaced with a textarea.

In fact - we recommend that you do NOT use the editor at all for user-facing input - period. The problem is that it will inject HTML and inline CSS into the text, which down the road if you ever choose to change the CSS/style of your site, you'll always be stuck with "ugly" HTML that cannot be modified. But of course that's our opinion :)

You can modify the template to suit your needs. It is currently designed so the editor only shows to desktops, and having the layout display as table makes it easy for everything to "line up".

Let me know if that helps.

Little Code Help


Using Jamroom

Have them log out and back in - remember I updated your Redis caching system as well, so it could be a byproduct of that update.

Little Code Help


Using Jamroom

I'm not seeing any issues here, or I'm not understanding the issue. I'm logged in as "dazed" in 1 browser, and "admin" in another, and with both I see the download link. I was assuming that I would _not_ see it when logged in as "dazed" but I'm not seeing an issues with it - I see the button and can download the file.

Maybe log out and back in again?

Embed Audio Playlist Not Working


Using Jamroom

Dazed:
must be a file we customized down the line somewhere? It is not ringing a bell lol. Damn that looks awesome. Before it used to not display the songs but would play all of them so this is nice to see. Thanks Brian.

Awesome - glad to hear that fixed things up :)

This is fixed now - you were missing a semi-colon in the MixAP_playlist_player.tpl file.
