tifig software error in the System Check.
Installation and Configuration

pch:Should it be the line you provided or:

$_conf['jrCore_tifig_binary'] = '/usr/bin/tifig';

as suggested in the documentation? (See my first post above)

I will get the documentation updated - we recently moved all the binaries to the System Tools module, so the correct way is jrSystemTools_tifig_binary.

Thanks!

ALLOW_ALL_DOMAINS missing
Installation and Configuration

I was just testing this as the Log in to Stream is not going to fix it. I've just pushed a NEW Core beta - 6.4.0b6 - update to that then:

- Go in to the ACP -> Core -> Core -> Tools
- Click on "Advanced Config"
- in the "add a new advanced config key" section enter:

(for the "Config Key"): jrCore_disable_play_cookies
(for the "Config Value"): on

and save. That will bypass the play cookie checking, which does not work when the stream URL is access directly.

Let me know how that works.

Thanks!

Update to Core 6.4.0b6, reset caches and this should be fixed. Let me know if that looks better.

Thanks!

I know why the extra spacing issue is happening and am fixing it for the next core release.

It should still work - make sure the Core -> Global Config -> Content -> "Log in to Stream" is NOT checked.

Unfortunately this is a change that has been pushed on us over the last couple years by browsers no longer sending a referrer header, so it had to change.

Combining Sign Up and Subscriptions
Using Jamroom

Note that you can set the custom redirect URL for each quota in the ACP -> User -> User -> Quota Config -> "Signup Redirect Page". So you can setup a flow where the user creates their account and are directed right to the subscriptions page to subscribe.

A little bit of history on this one - back in JR4 we used to support this and it was very, very problematic for our sites - the problem is that a profile_id must exist for a subscription to work (since the subscription is basically an "item" belonging to a profile) - so what we had attempted to do was create the profile/user from the payment system callback - but that depended on the info coming back to us from say PayPal - and we had lots of users who would use payment information that was NOT the account they wanted to be under, so there had to be mechanisms to "repair" profiles and user accounts that had been created with the wrong information sent back to us in the callback.

Having the account created first solves all these issues, and is a very "normal" flow for internet accounts (i..e you can't become an Amazon Prime subscriber without signing in first, etc.).

Let me know if that helps.

Alt Image Tag Issue
Design and Skin Customization

derrickhand300:A couple years ago i paid someone to remove the file type from my alt image tags
I have never understood the reasoning behind jamroom automatically adding ".jpg" or ".png" to every alt image tag

"alt" tags are for accessibility - they should be a textual representation of what the HTML element is - in this case it's an image, so the image name being in the alt tag makes sense.

derrickhand300:When I upload an image to a news article I use the file name as the caption to the image so i dont have to go into the html code and add the caption
For instance if i upload an image of a Bear I would name the file " This is a bear"...then my mod would automatically add that caption to the photo

The issue was a few years back jamroom was adding the file type to the alt tag so my captions were reading "This Is A Bear .jpg"

So again I am having to go into the code each time I upload an image and remove the file type from each alt tag

Is there a reason for this file type being added to the alt tags and how to remove it?

Where are you mainly seeing this at? Is your News Articles module a custom module or a JR module you're using for news?

derrickhand300:I am not wanting to pay again to get this done...

Also with recent updates uploading images i am experiencing a problem with the image settings being cached

Used to be once i set the image at 320 px Position float left Margin 10- it was cached for additional images....for some reason the position is no longer being cached and is now going to a default of STRETCH instead of "float left"
Thanks!

If you're running the latest Jamroom Core 6.4 beta releases, and are using Chrome (or a Chrome derivative such as Brave, Chromium, etc.) make sure and do a REAL cache reset - if you are on a Mac it is:

Command-Shift-R

I'm not sure on Windows, but the regular "refresh" will NOT reload the JS properly, and JR Core 6.4.0+ is updating to TinyMCE 5.0 which changes a number of things. It could be there is additional changes needed - I can check the image embed module and see if I can reproduce this.

tifig software error in the System Check.
Installation and Configuration

pch:Hi Michael. Thanks for the reply.

Well, I can't find the location of the tifig on the server. How to know whether it is even enable or not and how to enable/install it on the server? I have root access through SSH.

Is there any other solution to fix this tifig error in the JR System Check apart from adding this line to /data/config/config.php?

Thanks.

No - that is how it is done. It sounds like (for whatever reason) your server does not like that binary. You would need to have your hosting provider install tifig at the server level:

https://github.com/monostream/tifig

and once that has been compiled and placed in /usr/local/bin (or wherever) then you can update the config.php file:

$_conf['jrSystemTools_tifig_binary'] = '/usr/local/bin/tifig';

Note that tifig is ONLY used to convert HEIC and HEIF images from iPhone X (and newer) to JPG - it's not even needed most of the time since the iPhone will convert to JPG for uploading by default - it's only used if the user chooses to upload the raw photo.

Let me know if that helps.
