Some questions (from a Social Engine user)


Design and Skin Customization

With JR this is totally doable - BUT - you would want to make sure you don't use Jamroom's power user and multi-user profile features, as in those instance it could break (if the user never visits their home profile after logging in then their active profile id would not be set).

It sounds like you're actually looking for chat then?

Sorry - don't do skype :)

JR can do this - that's no problem. But like Twitter, your users will be on their own profile when they make a post (for example - I cannot POST to my timeline from twitter.com - I have to go to twitter.com/jamroom). Users can leave comments on other user's profiles as well.

We do have some big updates coming in the next revision of our timeline that will make things a bit more interactive, but you can likely do most of what you want right now.

When it comes to configuring/customization JR can do most anything you want - if you feel JR doesn't do something, just post here and we can let you know.

Thanks!

not an action_text activity error


Design and Skin Customization

No - it's created at the same time as the item is created (using an event trigger).

not an action_text activity error


Design and Skin Customization

soaringeagle:
why would a module timeline entry need approval and not just 1 manually added?
i would think only those added by typing something in would need approval cause thats the only way to spam using the timeline

Because those actions are tied to other pending items (say a song) - doesn't make sense to show a "so and so just posted this song" timeline update if the song is not approved.

I think we're road blocked on the whole public activity feed

Jamroom can show a feed of site activity if that is what you're looking for. If you can clarify (with details) what you are looking for we can let you know if it is doable.

not an action_text activity error


Design and Skin Customization

This isn't a very helpful error message - I'll get that fixed up. What this means is the timeline entry is NOT modifiable, since it's not an action entry where the user typed it in - it's a timeline entry that was added by a module (i.e. "so and so just posted a new song", etc.).

The default in pending is to link to the "update" view, and sine automatic timeline entries have no update view you see this error.

I think we'll need to add a custom pending items setup in for timeline entries, as well as update the error message so it's more helpful - we'll check that out.

Thanks!

Queue depth status


Using Jamroom

DannyA:
Sounds promising. A couple of questions:
1. Can different types of encoding jobs have different priorities? Or Is it just by job TYPE.

For each job you want to be able to adjust the priority on, just make it a unique worker.

Quote:
2. Is there a reason you went with just high/low vs a numerical value? It seems a numerical value would give you much more control.

It actually is numerical - the default priority for a queue worker is 5.

HIGH_PRIORITY_QUEUE = 1 and LOW_PRIORITY_QUEUE = 9. So if you need to you can use any value between 1 and 9. "HIGH_PRIORITY_QUEUE" is just a named constant, which makes it easier to understand what it means rather than "1".

Quote:
3. When is this release expected?

Next version of the core - hopefully soon - it's in testing right now so I would anticipate sometime in the next week or so.

Let me know if that helps.

Queue depth status


Using Jamroom

None of this is really an issue on a busy system. Queues are never held up in any way - there just may not be enough active processes on a system that has no one hitting web pages that a queue may sit there for bit. You'll really only ever see this on a development system. On a "live" system there are enough web processes calling up workers that everything gets worked through very quickly with almost no delay.

I've got something in place for the next Core that will let you set the priority of a queue worker if you want - i.e.
jrCore_register_queue_worker('jrCore', 'send_email', 'jrCore_send_email_queue_worker', 0, 4, 3600, HIGH_PRIORITY_QUEUE);
Note the new HIGH_PRIORITY_QUEUE flag on the register worker call. There is a corresponding LOW_PRIORITY_QUEUE flag if you want the worker to run after all other queues are checked.
