BUG - Profile Avatar Looks Terrible

Using Jamroom


This is really frustrating to read. Jamroom did not "incorrectly enlarge" the image. The fact that you say that indicates you don't understand what is happening here. Jamroom cannot enlarge a 50x50 pixel image to 512x512 - it WILL be pixelated.


Please look at the image again. that image is what Google+ gave to Jamroom - we don't have control over it. When a user signs up using OneAll, OneAll will give us different size URLs to download the user's avatar -we always try to use the highest resolution one FIRST and work our way down if the higher res ones are unavailable. We have users sign up here on Jamroom.net all the time and the image that gets associated with their account is whatever the remote network gives us.

So there is no bug here and nothing for us to do or change.


Again, this just shows you're not understanding how Jamroom images work. Jamroom doesn't "enlarge" anything. If it only has a 50x50 pixel image to work with, then any "size" requested over 50x50 will look pixelated - Jamroom cannot create more pixels than there are.

So the image URL YOU are using in your template is:

https://softart.club/cv/image/profile_image/181/xxlarge/_v=1cdc61552754398

Do you see the "xxlarge" part? You are telling Jamroom to create a NEW image 512x512 in size, and to use the 50x50 as the SOURCE image (since that is all we have). No wonder it is pixelated!

I'm going to mark this post "solved" since this is not a Jamroom issue. I know you won't like that but I'm not sure how else to explain it. If you continue to find this to be a problem, then Jamroom may not be the right platform for you to use since there really is no other way to handle low-res images.

Thanks!

Mobile post editor problem

Using Jamroom


I'm not seeing any ability to "drag by corners". Note that the image insert functionality is part of the editor - that's not something Jamroom inserts or controls, so we don't have control over the size. Would it be better to simply remove the ability to attach an image?

Using Jamroom

You should see "sent" messages in your mail.log - i.e. here's an example from jamroom.net:

Jamroom live broudcast

Using Jamroom


This is not possible with a Jamroom module. You would need to use something like Shoutcast or Icecast

Two Questions About Documentation Module

Using Jamroom

We'll have to see how the detail page for the docs is being processed and see if that is possible to fix up. We'll check it out.

Allow Smarty in SignUp and Login Notes

Suggestions

Unfortunately this is not possible - you would instead want to switch to using the template login and customize the user_login.tpl and user_signup.tpl files.

Let me know if that helps.

You need to look at your /var/log/mail.log and see what is up.

Hey Michael

Michael is currently traveling but I'm sure he will see this - thanks for thoughts

Mobile post editor problem

Using Jamroom

The editor is working as it should on mobile as far as I am aware. Note that (of course) the features of the editor are a bit slimmed down on mobile when compared to desktop. The way the mobile editor works is:

- By default the editor is not "on" - this is on purpose since the editor code is ~400kb and on a low-end or slow mobile connection there is no need to load it if you're not going to use it.
- You click the "book" icon and the mobile editor is enabled. Note that this is a "take over" screen - it is not inline like it would be on the desktop. Think of it as going to a separate editor page.
- When done, click the "back arrow" in the upper left and you will go back to the form where you can change any other form fields
- save as normal

Let me know if that helps.

BUG - Profile Avatar Looks Terrible

Using Jamroom

The ORIGINAL image is horrible:

Jamroom cannot "magically" enlarge an image. You need to upload a LARGE image if you want your images to be crisp.
