Private notes-
Installation and Configuration

DannyA:
Ok, forgetting about messages from admin. Is there any way a user on the site can see that there are notifications pending or read their notifications on the site? I didn't see anything, but wanted to make sure.

That's what Private Notes are for ;) But if I understand what you're looking for, you want a "read only" private notes - and that's not supported.

Using Jamroom

DannyA:
sysadmin verified. no connection issues.

It could also be performance - I just tried to load the URL for one of your servers here and it timed out after 60 seconds and did not load, so something is up.

You're right, if I get it there is a limitation to 755 permission max, 777 are forbidden. I just discovered that. But I didn't get any problem with move_uploaded_file before... (there is several other cms installed on the same host).

yeah I see you're running as FastCGI, so it should issue a setuid() BEFORE the PHP call so even 700 should work - since it is not, I'm not sure what it would be without access to the filesystem - do you see any errors in the Activity Log -> PHP Error Log tab?

Thanks!

Hi,

I don't know that, but I tried to set everything to 777 without more success...

Are there any security policies running on the server - i.e. something that will check the directory permissions on each request? I doubt it, but I've seen it before so want to check.

Upgrading YouTube to newest version 1.2.0
Announcements

This should be fixed now - update to version 1.2.2 and the daily maintenance should not do this. Note that I did NOT see this on my test site, so my assumption is that YouTube failed to respond on your requests and the module interpreted that as a failure.

DannyA:
It would be a nice option; much like facebook's notifications.

Alternatively, an addition to the notifications system to show pending Alerts and # of items on toolbar, and a page to see all your notifications. It's a good alternative to email and if the api supported it, it would work much better in an app. Alerts are critical in an app for getting users to engage.

Notifications should not be an issue - Jamroom already has a fairly robust notification setup. What you are looking for is a "one way private note" - i.e. an inbox that the users can VIEW messages in, but not respond or start messages - that's not supported.

Troubleshooting workers
Using Jamroom

Every single one of those errors is a network timeout, so you definitely have connectivity issues. I have never had access to your AWS account - you'll need to double check your security policies to ensure the servers can communicate with each other.

705 is going to be incorrect UNLESS the web server is running as the same user that owns the Jamroom files - do you know if that is the case?

Thanks!

This is not supported - it's not a 1-way communication system - you're best bet here would just be to use email.

Welcome to Jamroom!

It sounds like there is a problem with file reading/writing on your server - what type of OS are you on? Make sure the web user has permissions to read/write to the media, logs and cache directories inside the jamroom/data directory.

Hope this helps!
