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?
Using Jamroom

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.

Hope a solution will be found one day. Anyway thanks.

Yep - as more dashboard functionality is extended to admin users (not necessarily master users) it's something we will look into and get in place.

90% Disk usage on new install
Installation and Configuration

Dzynz:
I'm using a shared server. The only thing that makes sense is Jamroom is reading the entire server, and not simply my portion of it?

Yep - that's it - PHP has no way of only showing the disk usage for your account (it's not aware of that), so you can ignore the disk space on your site. If you don't want to see it, just click on the panel in the dashboard and you can select a different panel to show there.

Let me know if that helps.
