Jamroom Hosting - looking for a few beta testers


Jamroom Hosting

Ken_Rich:Not a question Brian - just envisioning a scenario where someone might possibly want to leave Jamroom hosting (even if it's totally awesome).

The only part I'm not clear on now, is if a person did want to leave, how would the new site be able to accomplish the transfer? My current understanding is, a proper back-up is a .gz folder that contains everything, and that's what the new host needs.

No - that's not needed. You would use SFTP to download everything to the new server, then export your SQL and import it on the new site.

Quote:In the Jamroom hosting situation, what is the process for transferring out?

Like I mentioned above: Download your site files, export your SQL and shut down the server.

Quote:Is it - SFTP into your Jamroom Hosting VPS and download all your files + export your database, which gets you all your data. Then compress to a .tar and then a .gz to arrive at the same place as the c-panel 1 click back-up?

No - this is not cpanel - there are many ways to export or download a site. No need for gzipping or tarring. Just download your files just as if you're using FTP.

Quote:If that's the answer, it's a little "unsettling" to have a process so daunting and untried be the basis of my security. Do you get where I'm coming from? I need my security blanket like "Linus" - lol.

I understand - you're used to a control panel doing everything for you. With Jamroom hosting we specifically do NOT use any control panel, since they always make your server slow. And cpanel is a VERY BIG hacker target - I would not personally run it.

Site Builder


Using Jamroom

I'm not seeing any issues with it here (see my screenshot).

Go into your ACP -> Site Builder section and make sure all FOUR of the site builder modules are installed and enabled.

Michael added that - I think it is Site Builder related, but I am not sure - he would need to answer that.

Pam Givens:Problem is it doesn't appear as SE shows in the video.

It may be a bit hard to see - its a light colored font - but it should be there. Are you using the Slate or Ningja skin with all the Site builder modules installed and active?

2 seperate video issues in 2 seperate browsers


Installation and Configuration

I'm not aware of any issues with this, and just got done testing video conversions here. Note that a "screenshot" is grabbed from the video, but that's not going to happen right away. If you have a custom video item_detail.tpl file that is trying to show the video image, you will see that image error until the conversion process happens and it can create the video thumbnail. This is why the jrVideo/templates/item_detail.tpl file does NOT have the video image on the page.

seo metatag manager and custom form fields questions


Design and Skin Customization

soaringeagle:1 of my shops owners is trying to optimize a product
and brought up some questions that got me wondering

i see u can set title descripotion keywords etfc on "item details'

now say i added a product_title
product_keywords
product_description feilds to the form designer can i use smarty codes to simply add those entered text strings
what would these smarty codes look like

You would just use:

{$item.product_keywords}

i.e.

$item.YOUR_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME

Hope this helps!
