PHP 5.6

Using Jamroom

manymoods:
Hi,
My host update the php to version 5.6 when I log in to the admin control panel but can't go beyond that. When I click on any tab or link I get logged out of the site. I informed my host and they switched me back to php 5.4 but the site is still not working anymore. How can I resolve this. Please Help!

I would also look in your data/logs/error_log - sounds like it wasn't JUST a PHP update - JR runs on all PHP versions from 5.3 to 7.0 - but may have also included a web server upgrade, or disabling web server of PHP features that were previously turned on (such as mod_rewrite, etc.)

Your hosting provider has access to the error logs on your server and should be able to fix this for you.

Hope this helps!

How to create a tab on the admin skin

Design and Skin Customization

Here's why you want to do:

1) Clone the skin if you have not yet
2) edit the skins/SkinName/config.php file - you'll see how config options are added - copy an existing one and give it a unique "name" field.
3) run the integrity check
4) you should now see the new option in the skin global config
5) Make sure you are in "developer mode" (from the developer module) and click on the "help" button to the right of your new config option - in the help drop down you will see the "template variable" that you will use in your templates.

Hope this helps!

Having to log in twice

Using Jamroom

This does seem to be an issue that Chrome users have, and I suspect it is a browser setting like @strumelia suggests - possibly clearing the cookies. JR uses a cookie for the remember me function, so if it is not found it will not work.

Jamroom 5.3 Beta Kickoff

Announcements

Intro2Music:
Is it too late to suggest a small feature in 5.3? I'd like to be able to set the listing order for audio and video albums as well as galleries. It's easy enough right now to arrange the items within a gallery or album but, if for example you're using the Photo skin bundle and have a list of a dozen or more galleries, there's no way to order them. Same problem for musicians who have a dozen albums to display.

Just thought I'd chip in my tuppenceworth while we're in Beta.

Mick

Thanks Mick - these are features that would be supported by the modules (since it's only selected modules that offer "album" like features), so we can look into that.

Thanks!

PHP 7.0.0

Off Topic

Just want to add that JR runs awesome on PHP 7.0 - I'm seeing performance doubling in a lot of areas. Very nice

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

Installation and Configuration

"disqus_comments" is the correct one - you just want to change it to:

{jrCore_item_detail_features module="jrForum" item=$topic exclude="jrComment~item_comments"}

By changing it to "disqus_comments", you made that an invalid module feature short name, and so it shows.

A few bugs

Using Jamroom

profile_url is the correct one if you include the @ - i.e.

@the-jamroom-network

NOT
