question on new joinup emails
Using Jamroom
Strumelia:Yes i understand what you are saying about the email 'looking like' it's valid because it's in a valid email format.
But what I'm saying is: a person tries to sign up as a member using (for example) Judyblue23@msn.com ....but she doesn't have an msn email account.
Does the current Jamroom 'validity check' check to see if the email is actually functional when a person signs up (whether it needs admin approval or not), or is it simply checking to see if the address 'looks like' a typical email address format? (i.e. not something like Judyblue23@msn@com )

By default the core just does a valid syntax check for the email (which should be fine 99% of the time). If you have the Kickbox module installed, then make sure the "Signup Check Enabled" option is checked in the global config, and that will attempt to "sort of" validate an email address.
Unfortunately there is no reliable way to ensure an email address is VALID (i.e. exists in the target system) just by having the address - the only sure fire way is to SEND an email to that address and have the user respond to something in the email (i.e. validation).
If you think about it, if it were easy to validate that an email address was an actual functional email address, it would be a heyday for spammers.
Let me know if that helps.
Safari browser problem on user account page
Using Jamroom
This is tricky to work around with Safari - any where it sees username/password it tries to be helpful and "autofill" the values for you, which doesn't help here. I have an idea how to work around it so will test that out and see if it works.
How to translate the Dashboard?
Using Jamroom
jimmyk:In regards to the ACP multi-language - might want to bump that up because the Chinese, Russian, and Indian markets are huge.
Just to be sure - I'm only talking about the dashboard - not the ACP. The ACP has literally thousands of language strings, so there's no plans to change that. It would also create a support headache on this end.jimmyk:For what you offer for the price, you'd be a hit in those regions - especially with Proxima. Which is something that should be promoted more because it's a mobile app centric world.
Yep - there's a couple of things we need to get into Proxima and the plan is to begin advertising/promoting it, as it has a very clear target audience and value proposition.Thanks!
How to translate the Dashboard?

jimmyk:
Would it be easier to have the option to just to kick out 1 generic error for all errors in the public view. Honestly, that's all I would need. Have it display a site maintenance page. I think most people would opt for a site maintenance page over translation of every error. A site maintenance page / string is what I'm going to use for every error anyway. IPB has a html file they include in the root that just displays that the site is offline where there is an error type that prevents the site from being displayed... that method works for me.

That's not a bad idea - we'd just need to make sure the error is logged somewhere so we can assist if needed.

jimmyk:No, no specific error to mention. I just want any error that the public sees to be adjustable to what I want it to say, which I assume, would be included if the ACP was mutli-language (those errors would have to be multi-language thus, I could set what I wanted).
What we would need to do is:1) assign an error "ID" to each error - that way we know WHERE the error was triggered even if the site admin completely changes the output of the error
2) The error text could then be translated by the site admin
This would be a BIG job (based on the number of possible errors points across all modules), so it's not something I can say will happen soon (i.e. JR 5.x) but I can put it down as a feature update for a future major release of JR.
Thanks!
How to upload and search audio and video by date and location?
Using Jamroom
pch:My apologies for the excess of the forum post. Yes, with time, I will do my best to make sure I understand how things work.
No worries - I didn't mention that because of the number of topics posted was a problem - you'll just find that usually when customizing JR it's going to involve templates, so in your case becoming a smarty "expert" is going to go a long way for you in helping you get the result you want.

jimmyk:Personally, I'd like to be able to adjust what is outputted when there is an error - and not have to edit the core files. Nothing looks more foolish that an error popping up on a high traffic / trusted website. Makes the admin look like he doesn't know what he's doing - even if the error wasn't the result of the admin's incompetence. If there's an error, that error should be in the logs and a generic error should be displayed like "the site is offline, we'll be back soon" not "can't connect to the database, etc. I hate giving an attacker any information. I'd rather let him think that the site is in maintenance vs. an error.
Is there a specific error you are thinking of? Note that JR can tell if an admin is logged in, and often will show a different (more detailed) error to an admin/master user than a regular user or user that is not logged in.
Thanks for the feedback.
Quote tags displaying in the audio and video comments module.
Using Jamroom
The comment module does not rely on the forum module to work - you can leave comments without the forum module. BBCode support however is provided by the profile forum module, so if you want the quote tags to be parsed correctly, you need to install the profile forum module - there's no need to enable it in your quotas though, so you don't have to make it active for your profiles.
