Glad to hear it - thanks!

Index Not Found

Installation and Configuration

Yeah that is going to cause an issue - it assumes all images are located at a DIRECT URL (i.e. the path points to a real file) - in JR however, these small images go through a view that outputs the correct image based on whether or not the admin has uploaded a custom image.

I think what we want to figure out is how to exclude your JR domain from that rule - something like:


You might need to play with it but that's the idea I think you'll need to use.

Image Upload Issue

Jamroom Developers

For most image URLs in the JR we append the update time of the image to the end of the URL - this makes MOST browser reload it if it changes. I will check on the forum to be sure that is setup, but "Chrome is the new IE" is something I keep saying - it's a browser that has abandoned data integrity in the name of speed.

Emoji should be working now in JR 5.3.1.

Yes - if someone finds a technical solution to a problem that does not make it a legal solution. "popcorn time" is a well known product that relies on torrents for most of what it does and is not concerned with TOS violations. I would never run that on my site.

Explaining the Sign up form, a two-way problem, and a possible two-in-one solution

Using Jamroom


This is not really a good idea. Most sites do not want to hit a potential signup user with 50 questions at signup time - much better to collect the non-required (or optional) info at a later time. JR's flexibility by having 2 forms is essential.


This is a "set it up one time and works forever" scenario - spending 10 minutes customizing your forms is likely a very small part of your work on your site. We try to optimize for those actions that tend to be ongoing and repeated.


you will likely rarely use profile/create - that is for MANUAL creation of a new profile. This is not involved with SIGNUP, which is found at user/signup.


Imagine you have 100+ quotas (as some of our sites do) and you want to make a change to a field only for a subset of quotas. That's easy right now, but would be more confusing and difficult if there were 100+ different form designer forms.

There are no plans to change any of this - most of these functions are central to how JR functions and changing them would be a very large undertaking for no obvious benefit. If you can let us know wherein our documentation we can be more clear so as to help, that's always appreciated.

Thanks!

There is an update in the latest Profiles module (1.8.1) that will truncate the Profile Bio at 300 characters (if it is longer) - see if that helps.

You can select the type of files you want to allow in the Comments -> Quota Config.

Hope this helps!

I've got a new system in place for JR 5.3.1 that will handle emoji's - were in the process of testing it right now, but this should be fixed fairly soon.
