recomended server side caching options (linux/centos apache 2.4 newest php)
Installation and Configuration

soaringeagle:the jr search sucks

I couldn't disagree more, but you can have your own opinion :)

Quote:what are the best server cache options

We use Xcache on Jamroom hosting and it works well.

How to access jrCore_get_flag('my-custom-array') in tpl file
Jamroom Developers

You need to include it as a replacement key in your jrCore_parse_template call - i.e.

$tmp = jrCore_get_flag('my-custom-array');
$_rp = array(
    'my_custom_array' => $tmp
);
$out = jrCore_parse_template('my-custom.tpl', $_rp, 'myModule');

Inside my-custom.tpl you can reference $my_custom_array.

Background tree
Genosis

The template that controls it is the "pedigree.tpl" file in the Genosis Core module - you could set a background image on the "container".

Hope this helps!

Photo Pro skin menu
Design and Skin Customization

Intro2Music:Hi Guys,

When viewing the Photo Pro Skin on iPad or Android Tablet, the menu doesn't show in 'Portrait' view.

We will check this out.

Quote:Also, are there any plans to make this skin work with the 'Combined' Audio and Video module?

It should already work - do you see something not working?

Thanks!

Some quick observations on new site builder
Using Jamroom

derrickhand300:this no longer seems to work in the new site builder-is that by design or just a bug with my template?
{jrConstructionKit_rotator module="jrGallery" crop="auto" order_by="_created rand" }

This will not work - construction kit is part of the old Site Builder.

Using Jamroom

derrickhand300:I had the images in the rotator set to _created_rand I had a slideshow on the home page that had 10 random images from the site

We don't have a way to do random images yet in the rotator - we will need to add support for that.

derrickhand300:My image slideshows quit working after updating- how do i get them back or recreate them? I am not understanding how to make the image slideshow with this new system

Go into the "Insert Images" widget and put a checkbox in the images you want to be part of the rotator.

Some quick observations on new site builder
Using Jamroom

I think the best solution to this is some type of "preview" mode when editing a widget - we might be able to work in a "source" type component at that time, but it would be hard as most widgets are NOT templates but direct PHP code.

However I have to agree with Michael on this that extra buttons/functions for the most part are only going to confuse users who do not understand "why" they are there (trust me - ANYTHING added beyond what is absolutely necessary is going to confuse some users) - and when they click on it they will not understand it and will come here posting questions about it.

SB is designed to be the "easy to use" side of Jamroom. For those that want to see the "code" side of things you can always dig into the templates.

remove seamless internal sort limit
Suggestions

soaringeagle:for weeks i was trying ti figure out why my seamless lists were:
1 not ordered properly and
2 had thousands of "blank' pages

now it seems to me a module thats made to combine multiple modules lists into 1 should expect more not less so shouldnt have any internal limits at all in the sort order

Unfortunately it has to have one or it would not work - it will be set high enough that 99% of our users will not encounter this as an issue going forward.

Thanks!
