Bridge and group_by option

Installation and Configuration


Glad to hear that - thanks

Particular Notification option missing?

Using Jamroom

Could be - I was doing that from memory - whatever lines up with the "help" in the notification option is the correct one.

Changing profile look

Design and Skin Customization


Modify the skins/ActiveSkin/profile_menu.tpl and manually add that link in.

Let me know if that helps.

What is a Jamroom advertising module going to bring to the system that Google Adwords (or any of the hundreds of ad networks) can't? "IPB went so far as to incorporate it into the core in the new version" - can you let me know what that means? Is it as simple as just saying "input your adwords code here"?

One thing I've learned is that there are more ad networks than there are sites out there - just among our hosting customers there are dozens being used, so integrating an ad network with JR is pretty straightforward (usually just a javascript line in your meta.tpl).

This is hard - I would love to have a large number of 3rd party modules doing all sorts of stuff, but my experience has shown that this is almost never good for the end user. They have to always wonder if the module is coded right, does it have best practices when it comes to security, is it going to be supported, etc. My experience has shown that there are very few 3rd party developers who are in it for the long haul. I know that this may limit Jamroom's growth as there are users who view the 3rd party ecosystem as primarily important, so it's something we will continue to evaluate and see if we want to expend our energy in that direction.

Thanks again for the feedback!

Bridge and group_by option

Installation and Configuration

Sorry - should have updated this that I pushed a new version of the Bridge module a couple days ago - you should be able to use group_by and order_by now - i.e.

Let me know if that works for you.

Embed Local Media in TinyMCE not working in Chrome on iOS

Using Jamroom


Sorry - my response was tongue in cheek - I know a lot of people (unfortunately) use Chrome. As a developer I view Chrome as the new "Internet Explorer 6". People use Chrome because they feel it is fast (and it is), but that speed comes at the expense over very, very aggressive caching that causes issues for site developers.

iOS however does NOT allow different browser rendering engines, so Chrome is actually Safari under the hood, but just has it's own interface, so it SHOULD work. When I get a chance I can check it out, but Chrome on iOS is certainly going to be the minority of users.

Creating a Page

Using Jamroom


Yes - you can use if statements in your templates to show different tags, etc - that's how you'd want to do it.

A Footer similar to the JR Footer on this site

Using Jamroom

You'll need to just add it to your footer and play around with it - since it is all in the footer ID, should be easy to target with your CSS.

What really helps us is if users take time to write reviews or post about Jamroom - for example, on our Hotscripts listing here:

http://www.hotscripts.com/listing/jamroom-the-powerful-social-media-platform-145720/

having a good rating AND positive reviews really helps a lot.

Also - forum posts (like what you have done Jimmy) really help as well. Any "talk" about JR can help drive traffic in our direction - it all helps

Thanks!
