Jamroom Core 6.0.0 beta 1

SteveX:
Is it skewed by my laptop localhost, or does the baseline 1000 figure need updating?

I think this is correct, as the "baseline" is based on a single CPU. Your localhost has 4 CPUs though, so there's a modifier in there that gives you a "bonus" for the extra procs (since it will be able to handle more work simultaneously).

What I probably need to do is break it down so you see that however - i.e.

950 + 200 multiple CPU bonus

i.e. base score + show CPU bonus

I'll check it out. Thanks!

Jamroom Core 6.0.0 beta 1

SteveX:
Just to be clear, the linebreaks in the blog work fine when updating and creating further blog posts, it's just the post created on installation which doesn't work right.

Thanks Steve - I'll revisit this and make sure the initial blog entry is fixed up.

Jamroom Core 6.0.0 beta 1

I've just pushed up beta 1 of the Jamroom 6 core to the alpha channel - I'm not quite ready to push this out into the general beta channel, as I'd like to get a few more days of testing in. Please take some time to go through the full change log for JR6:

Quote:
- New: jrCore_is_datastore_module() and jrCore_is_media_module() functions added
- New: A module can now include a "recommended" key for other modules in the meta function
- New: New "error_notice.tpl" template to allow customization of jrCore_notice() errors
- New: jrCore_db_get_multiple_items() now caches results by default (use $skip_caching)
- New: jrCore_get_option_image() now supports "notice" and "warning"
- Change: Cache performance updates to improve cache access and deletion on large systems
- Change: Low Level DataStore schema changes to improve performance on large sites
- Change: Delete Skin and Delete Module option is now a header button in the info page
- Change: Skins in ACP skin list are now listed in alphabetical order
- Change: Module and Skin Info pages updated with new layout
- Change: Section header in Global Config no longer shows if it is the only one on the page
- Change: Modules missing an icon will now show a default icon (default_module_icon.png)
- Change: Skins missing an icon will now show a default icon (default_skin_icon.png)
- Change: Old form session and play key cleanup moved to Hourly Maintenance event
- Change: Removed DataStore active cache functionality - moved to future, separate module
- Change: bundled TinyMCE WYSIWYG Editor updated to version 4.4.1
- Change: Lightbox will now "wrap" to the beginning when at the end of a group of images
- Bug Fix: {jrCore_image} may not use correct URL for skin or ACP enable image override
- Bug Fix: Approving/Deleting pending item may not remove associated pending jrAction entry
- Bug Fix: jrCore_hilight_string could highlight matching HTML substrings
- Bug Fix: Some SQL Queries generated by jrCore_list could cause an SQL error
- Bug Fix: It was possible to change a module URL to an existing module URL
And let me know if you see any issues with any of these changes. There has been quite a lot of low level DataStore work (and reorganization) and since the DS impacts pretty much every facet of JR< please let me now if you see any SQL errors or any listing issues.

I'm going to be traveling this week so will be online less than normal, but will be checking in when I can. Please let me know if you see any issues - I'm hoping this JR6 release is going to be really solid.

Thanks!

Jamroom Core 6.0.0 Alpha 5

Another quick alpha Core update - this has a few more tweaks and changes in it that relate to the DataStore. Since Core 5.3 the datastore functions have supported "plugins" so in the future alternate database systems can be used. This latest update does some rework in that area to make pending item logic and caching sit OUTSIDE the plugins, which is where it should be.

Other changes:

- New: jrCore_is_datastore_module() and jrCore_is_media_module() functions added
- Change: Delete Skin and Delete Module option is now a header button in the info page
- Change: Skins in ACP skin list are now listed in alphabetical order
- Bug Fix: {jrCore_image} may not use correct URL for skin or ACP enable image override
- Bug Fix: Approving/Deleting pending item may not remove associated pending jrAction entry

Please test this out and let me know if you see any issues.

Thanks!

Only had time to do limited testing but no obvious problems are jumping out at me.

Thanks Gary - I appreciate you checking this out. Barring any issues the next release will likely be beta 1.

Thanks!

Active Cache Workers tool Not Found [Alpha 3]

SteveX:
When I click the Active Cache Workers tool button I get a Not Found at this url:
/core/active_cache_browser

Yep - I forgot to remove that tool in the last alpha - have already removed it for the next release.

Thanks!

Jamroom 6.0.0 Alpha 2

SteveX:
I used to see this very often when using Update All, but haven't seen it for a long time, which is why I mentioned it. Not a problem though.

Yep - I used to see it on Update All fairly frequently as well - I've managed to get that working probably 98% of the time - finding the root cause of when it does NOT work isn't something I haven't been able to track down yet.

Jamroom 6.0.0 Alpha 3

Oh yeah - we have some really cool stuff coming along that is going to be cool for all sites. This is just my updates to the Core, and I want to be sure my changes that I have in place to help large sites are not going to break anything :) My performance updates while being targeted at larger sites will also help smaller sites that are on slower hosting .

We have significant updates to the Activity Timeline and URL Scan module coming, as well as an all new skin for Jamroom 6 (Follow Me) that highlights the new features.

Right now those changes are almost ready for alpha - you guys will be getting your hands on it within the next week.

Thanks!

jimmyk:
Thanks for the error_notice.

No problem - note that that covers the "critical" type error where right now you just get a white screen with the error - that should allow you to change the text to something different or style it if you want it styled.
