Upgrading to Jamroom 6

Using Jamroom

Awesome - glad to hear the upgrade went fairly smooth. We knew going in to the release that the Timeline would be a bit of an issue, since the entire framework for actions has changed quite a bit. We knew that timeline templates would need to be updated before working properly. I spent quite a bit of time trying to make it backwards compatible, and still work with the new setup, but ended up having to "bite the bullet" and make the change. The good news is the new Timeline framework is set up much better to scale and give us the features we need to do some cool stuff.

Thanks!

New “Profile Pulse” for profile notification counts

Using Jamroom


At the moment yes - we'll likely add it into other skins where it makes sense. With Follow Me focusing 100% on 'social' it makes sense it will use it a lot.

Basically what Profile Pulse is is a new "what's new" notification system - i.e. modules can say "when this event happens, create a pulse counter". The Profile module provides the framework for allowing create and update pulse counts.

It's up to the skin to "get" the counts where needed, as well as reset them when needed. Initially we were going to try to automate that part as much as we could, but realized that each skin is likely to do it differently.

Let me know if that helps.

No issues here - make sure you've subscribed to the Jamroom 6 Beta channel on the site. I just tested from one of my "live" sites and I see it.

Wrong Meta Lang value in the Meta Tag

Using Jamroom

I have just finished testing this and I think I know what is going on here. So by default if Jamroom sees:

1) the user is not logged in
2) does not have a language preference cookie set
3) is not SETTING their lang preference (via the "set_user_language" param)

Then the next thing it does is look at the user's HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE string from their browser and see's if their browser preferred language is available on the site - if it is it uses it, else it drops to using the default language.

So in this case when you are testing it your browser is likely reporting that English is the primary preferred language, which is why you don't see the meta tag lang strings change.

Let me know if that makes sense.

Thanks!

There's no functionality lost in Jamroom 6, so let us know if you feel something is no longer working.

I don't believe it is supported in a blog post, but timeline entries and comments should be working.

comments order newest first?

Installation and Configuration

What you're asking here is for comments to be order one way for the entire site, and then one SPECIAL way for just one location. Due to how the comment module has to handle threading, replying and ordering, this is not something the module can support.

Sorry!

The New birthday module is a not a ning import module - it is it's own code base that I'm certain works differently than your custom module - just don't use the new one if it doesn't work for your site.

You should be able to mention users - I'm not seeing an issue with it here.

Where are you doing the mention at?

Thanks!
