mailgun stopped working
Design and Skin Customization

derrickhand300:
The VPS says that EXIM is now configured ( was already installed) so now I have tested and the emails are still sending through mailgun and my sites newsletter module...so fingers crossed and about to send a 1st email...

If you have updated EXIM, you need to reconfigure Jamroom to NOT use the Mailgun HTTP API...

Nova skin showing different sized images problem
Installation and Configuration

There's something weird with images on the site - I'm suspecting that it may be due to your server running "Lightspeed" which is an Apache replacement - I've not seen this issue before, but your images are NOT displaying like they should, so something is different at the server level.

Player wont play on Facebook
Using Jamroom

This was fixed by adding:

ALLOW_ALL_DOMAINS

to the Allowed Domains setting in the Core -> Global Config.

mailgun stopped working
Design and Skin Customization

derrickhand300:
Thanks Brian
In GLOBAL SETTINGS.Mailgun domain
Would I use
api.mailgun.net/v3/drillingahead.com
or would I use simply drillingahead.com?

Just drillingahead.com ...

Also I am configuring this because of my need to SEND emails OUTSIDE my server-I like the UNSUBSCRIBE link that Mailgun includes and that its automated in that it removes the person automatically from my lists AND it seems to keep a SUPPRESSION list in that if a email is undeliverable for what ever reason it does not send to that particular email in future emailings..

With all that said I still need it to be a solution for higher volume emailings...I would probably use it to send 4 emails per month as a newsletter on what happened on the site that week BUT I need them delivered quickly and reliably

I think from my understanding of what you explained is that we actually need POSTFIX on the server to make this happen...which apparently it cannot be configured on sites with cPanel...

Is this a correct understanding? If correct- then can you tell me if their is a similar program to POSTFIX that will work on cPanel sites?
Sorry for all the questions but this has been a real struggle

Postfix is not required, BUT you will need to be able to configure EXIM at the server level so you can configure EXIM to use a "smart host". Looks like there is a guide here:

http://3sq.re/blog/2014/07/configure-exim-cpanel-use-mailgun/

You definitely do not want to send high volume using the Mailgun API - you need to get EXIM configured properly if you need to send high volume.

Let me know if that helps.

Mailgun error message
Jamroom Hosting

radiomusicgroup:
Is there a limit to the number of domains you can add to the server? I thought no but I have 4 and I have this message in my hosting panel:

Your Mailgun account has exceeded the number of domains allowed!
Make sure you have entered payment information into your Mailgun Control Panel:

https://mailgun.com/cp

which will allow you to create more than 5 domains. Clear This Message

So do I have to setup a paid account with Mailgun?

Yes - you just need to enter your Credit Card info in your Mailgun Control Panel - you won't be charged, but you can then go beyond 5 domains. You are only ever charged if you send more than 10,000 emails a month.

Hope this helps!

URL Mapping - rules size
Installation and Configuration

Update to version 1.1.0 - it will import your existing config options, and you'll see there is a new Mapped URL Browser that will allow you to put in up to 4 billion mapped URLs - hopefully that is enough :)

Hope this helps!

mailgun stopped working
Design and Skin Customization

This is not going to work like this - Mailgun does NOT expose a direct SMTP port for you to use. Since you cannot modify the EXIM config, you need to:

- install and enable the Mailgun SMTP module
- configure the Mailgun SMTP Global Config with your Mailgun API Key and Domain
- in the Email Support -> Global Config set the "Active Email System" to "Mailgun HTTP API" and save

Email should work. HOWEVER, be aware that this is not going to work really well as a HIGH volume email solution, since for every email it has to send it has to establish a new HTTP connection.

Let me know if that helps.

Yeah that's going to be less flexible. How soon do you need this? I might be able to update it tomorrow, but I can't today.

Thanks!

Merchandise Payment/Fee Flow
Using Jamroom

Stripe takes 2.9% + 30 cents:

https://stripe.com/us/pricing

All the money goes to your account. When you want, you go to ACP -> FoxyCart -> Tools -> Profile Payout and PAYOUT to your profiles. This will download a PayPal Mass Pay text file you can use to send out payments via paypal, or you can just open it with a text editor and pay your profiles manually any way you want.

Hope this helps!
