Typo

Just fixed it - thanks Steve.

Latest chat updates

I've pushed a small javascript update that I'm hoping (not 100% sure) will fix the chat bubble issue. Please do a full browser refresh so the latest chat JS gets reloaded in your browser.

Thanks!

Yeah I've seen this too and will check it out.

Queue depth status

Using Jamroom


The actual queue functionality is part of the Core, so that will be in the next core release.

Customize ACP menu

Jamroom Developers

Parts of the ACP are not modifiable, but you can tweak some of it by modifying the modules/jrCore/templates/admin.tpl file.

Copy that file into your active custom skin @ skins/SkinName/jrCore_admin.tpl then customize it to suit your needs.

New Module - Single Front Page Presentation for Profiles

Suggestions

What is a "Front Page" - do you mean a splash page?

Queue depth status

Using Jamroom

I have just pushed new versions of the Queue Client and Queue Server that will help with this. The 404 response is actually correct - it means "no queue entries found". What I've done with the latest update though is have it return a 200 response with "queues are empty" as the data response - this way you know the request was actually successful, even if there are no queue entries.

I also added a new helper function in the Queue Client module:
That will return an array of active queue entries on the Queue Server.

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks!

Some questions (from a Social Engine user)

Design and Skin Customization

Then I would say yes - JR already supports all this - the only difference is the URL. You would not post from:

yoursite.com/members/home

but

yoursite.com/yourprofilename

I though you were looking for a place where all members of your site could post without being followers - i.e. a "public wall".

Let me know if that helps.

Correct - but facebook does not have:

facebook/members/home

where all 1 billion members can interact. That's what I'm getting at. You interact with your friends only. Same way in JR - you interact with people who have chosen to follow you (ala Twitter). This is the best model for avoiding spam as well - if you don't want to hear from someone you just unfollow them.

Some questions (from a Social Engine user)

JR can do anything SE can pretty much, so that's not a problem. Jamroom can easily make "community" type pages, etc, listing anything from your profiles any way you want.

If you plan on having a small niche site, that's all good. I would highly recommend that if you plan on having a lot of users online at the same time interacting with your site, you avoid "community" style pages. Imagine that page you posted a screenshot of with 500 people posting at the same time - it would be unusable. This is why when you go to facebook or twitter there is no "community" section - all the interaction takes place on your profile or other users profiles.

Of course it's 100% up to you, but having been doing this for a very long time I've seen many sites really struggle with performance as many of the features that work great on a small, intimate site suddenly blow up once they get a surge in users.
