Plugin / Module Licensing


Design and Skin Customization

Have not checked out your module yet, but did you see the Followers to Friends module?

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/393/followers-to-friends

it turns the Followers module into a "friends" module.

/modules/jrCore/tools/ffmpeg' has size=15950411 instead of 15951292


Using Jamroom

No - you don't need to do any of that. You have 2 choices:

1) Figure out why the stock, JR provided ffmpeg is being corrupted when uploaded to your server. This has been happening to you for a long time, so I would recommend getting to the bottom if it. Maybe your hosting provider can help you with that.

2) install or compile your own custom version of ffmpeg (you'll need to include libfaac) and then update your Jamroom data/config/config.php file and override the core provided ffmpeg:

$_conf['jrCore_ffmpeg_binary'] = '/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg';

Use the correct path to your custom ffmpeg.

Using Jamroom

Repair Modules fixes jamroom module data in the database - it does not change things on your file system (and likely does not have permissions to change ownership on files).

Plugin / Module Licensing

This sounds pretty cool - what module have you created?

Our primary concerns when it comes to 3rd party modules are:

1) Support - are you going to be here 2 years from now to help users who may have questions?
2) Security - have you used Jamroom's security functions to ensure your module does not expose a security issue on the site running it.

Since you based your module on the MPL, we usually would like to see it released for free - since you're building on work we provided for free. However, if the changes are substantial and are going to require ongoing maintenance work, then we can check it out and see if it makes sense to have it be relicensed under the JCL.

Feel free to shoot me a copy of the module to support [at] jamroom [dot] net - I'd like to check it out. Note that I''m just about to head out here though, so would not be able to check it out for a day or two.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

I just posted you the output of ls -l on the ffmpeg binary, so you can see the SIZE.

More performance questions


Jamroom Developers

DannyA:We've been looking at some ways to improve our DB performance. Our logs are showing A LOT of calls to INSERT INTO jr_jruser_session. How can we identify and reduce the number of calls being made. What is inserting? Are there ways of saving more of that information in a cookie for example?

This is Jamroom's user sessions, and it already uses a session cookie. You're not going to be able to reduce these calls in any way, other than offloading them to a new session handler (which is coming with the Redis module in JR Cloud 2.0).

Every single request by a logged in user will trigger a write to the session DB - that's how PHP sessions work.

Let me know if that helps.

Annush:Hi Brian - Sorry. That was an absolute waste of your time and only goes to show my lack of know-how. I've had my platform from you guys for some time now and haven't done anything with it as i don't have any understanding of putting it together.
Could you please advise me how best I can go about approaching you/your team to set it up and asses the cost. I've tried the monthly support, of which I get my problems solved, but mean nothing to me since I cannot implement them.
Thanks for your time. Much appreciated.

No worries :)

Contact us at support [at] jamroom [dot] net and we can help you get setup how you want.

Hope this helps!
