A more Powerfull Event Module


Suggestions

Luis456:That is what I referring too, I'm sorry but I think you guys are more development focus than customers. You need to give customer options and make it as simple as possible. Just think that not all your customers are developers.
Your team need to provide options for your client. For example, you want a simple module here it is it cost this much. You want a more advance module with features here it is and its cost this much. You need a module or template that is more social news, or entertainment related, here it is.

This is exactly how we do things. JR5 is designed to be easy to use for the common use case. What you have to realize however is that NO two sites want the same thing. This feature (ticket selling) is obviously important to you, but it's not important to the other 99% of our users - literally, no one asks for this. I created a ticket selling module for JR4 and almost no one used it.

So in this case if this feature is something you would like, it would be something we would do as a sponsored "feature" upgrade for this module - i.e. you would pay for the custom development work done on it. It would be cheaper than normal custom development because it's something that would be available to ALL users after it was done (we don't do any "exclusive" development).

Quote:I don't know how big your company it is, but I thinks you need to have a resource focus on developing modules, templates in order to provide more options to your clients.

We are a small 4 man team that also tries to lead lives offline, so we do our best.

Sorry if I sound frustrated - we just get these types of posts form time to time from users who are upset that Jamroom does not meet their needs 100% "out of the box".

I think it is important to think of Jamroom as a site development platform - it will get you 90% of the way there, but that last 10% is stuff that is unique to YOUR site - and that is going to take work on your part (or hiring someone to do it for you) to get it to 100%.

Paul has opened a ticket on this, so after we research the type of work that would be needed to add this feature in I believe he will be in contact with you.

Thanks!

Unwanted HTML gap/space


Using Jamroom

This is what I get pasting in what you have posted (see screenshot). I've made some small tweaks in the HTML "cleanup" code that I'm hoping will help out any stray newline/return characters, because that can be dependent on the OS and browser used. We'll have the new beta core out tomorrow, so let's see if it helps you.

See all users' timeline mentions


Using Jamroom

iamtimbo:On your own page, you can see your timeline or your mentions. When you visit someone else's profile, you can't choose the 'mentions' option. Is that changeable?

Right now this is an option just for the profile owner - we can check it out though.

Thanks!

@ Tag mentions in Profile Forums


Using Jamroom

Make sure you have the "Convert @ Tags" option checked in the core Quota config options - it should be working:

Unwanted HTML gap/space


Using Jamroom

michaelcawood:Sorry but no. I was pasting originally. But I eliminated that by creating a new widget and building the table with just the tools in the widget. Nothing but a table... no other content. Three rows... and it made a result roughly 6 high (maybe more).

Please post you what you have entered - I have tested this the same here (table into widget HTML container) and am seeing no issues.

Thanks!

Grid of Videos


Design and Skin Customization

gary.moncrieff:I seen grid for the video module today. Didn't check the others.

You're right Gary - there is a grid template option for the Video module - Michael or Paul must have snuck that in :)

YouTube Video Gallery Scheduling


Suggestions

johnchansa:I've been trying to have a video channel on my site.It's a pity JPlayer can't handle youtube videos and I don't host/store any videos locally.

This is a violation of YouTube's TOS, so of course we don't support it.

Grid of Videos


Design and Skin Customization

michaelcawood:Thanks Gary... but where is the Grid option? I don't see any grid options anywhere in Jamroom.

There are some modules that have grid template options in Site Builder (such as profiles and image galleries) - I don't think anyone has ever wanted a "grid" of videos yet though, so grid templates are not something we've added for videos. Which video module are you using? Video, YouTube or Vimeo?

Note that having a grid of YouTube and Vimeo videos could be a "heavy" hitter if you try to load dozens of YouTube videos at once - just an FYI.

disqus commenting no longer on forums (bug report and solution)


Installation and Configuration

soaringeagle:i didnt change it i just used what was on an older version so it worked
the 2nd code worked the 1st 1 was in the new version of forums and doesnt work

The first is what SHOULD be in the forums module - it prevents both regular comments and disqus comments from showing on forum posts (which is what we want).

The forum already has "comments" in that people can respond to a forum post by adding their "comment" to it. Having Disqus comments at the bottom of each forum post would be confusing for most users, and I'm not sure you would want that - but I'm glad it's working for you.


Thanks!
