Some Videos Playback in Playlists only 1 Minute?


Using Jamroom

The latest Video Support module (1.3.0) now has a "Video Sample Length" Global Config option where you can set (or disable) the Sample creation.

Hope this helps!

Kos:It's enormous and looks attributed to posts during migration. Should I email it over for your guys to view? Paul did my migration yesterday

Since Paul has been working with you, and I see your tickets, let's just follow up there.

Thanks!

Jamroom Hosting - looking for a few beta testers


Jamroom Hosting

Ken_Rich:
paul:Its pretty easy - Just click on the server icon top left, select SFTP protocol, fill in the Host, Port, User and Password from the values seen in your server Control Panel (the one here on Jamroom) and off you go.


Hi Paul,

Ok - that does sound easy enough. I'm not scared off by that part of it anymore.

1) What about back-ups? I understand you have daily back-ups, but is that the built in Amazon S3 Redundant storage? Are we able to make .gz back-ups that we can download and take to any hosting provider and reconstitute (if we decide to go back to an external hosting situation at some point)?

These are weekly full disk backups + daily incremental. You will not have access to the actual backup files. You of course can SFTP into your Jamroom Hosting VPS and download all your files + export your database, which gets you all your data.

You can also run the S3 backup module on your site if you wish.

Quote:2) I've already paid for my skins and modules, but now new ones and unlimited use of them is free in this set-up. So, if I decided to go back to regular c-panel hosting at some point, would I just be charged for any new modules I've added, and if I have more than two instances of purchased modules?

Basically you would just go back to where you are right now - all the "free" licenses would no longer be attached to your account - you could purchase them if you wanted to.

Quote:In other words, what is the exit strategy? What fees are imposed when transferring back out, what process is in place to accommodate those who wish to leave?

There's no "fees" - just shut down your server if you no longer wish to use it. If you change you're mind we actually save your root disk for 3 days and can remount that and spin up a new server for you putting you right back where you left off.

Quote:As a possible scenario, someone may build up enough external sites to justify the expense of their own server, but only if their Jamroom sites are moved out to it.

I'm not sure what you mean here - can you clarify? Not sure if it is a question..

Thanks!

Shrunken Videos Surrounded by Blackness


Using Jamroom

Videos should look better in the latest Playlist module update (1.0.15) - update to that and the videos should be bigger.

Hope this helps!

Jamroom Hosting - looking for a few beta testers


Jamroom Hosting

New Domain Jamroom installs on Jamroom Hosting using the latest version of the Jamroom Core (5.2.23) will now be automatically configured for the Marketplace and Support Center, so that's 2 less things to worry about when doing a new install :)

Some funky things happening on cloned skins when styling


Design and Skin Customization

John - this should be working much better in the latest Core 5.2.23 release - update and let me know if that looks better.

Hope this helps!

Kos:Now my site is completely blank. A plain white screen.

Log in via FTP and look in the data/logs directory for "php_error_log" - download that, and the LAST entry in the file will be the root cause of the issue.

Most likely you modified a template and introduced a syntax error.

Hope this helps!

How do I...?


Genosis

lisa:Hi, Brian! Loving GENOSIS though I don't get to spend as much time on it as I would like! As I am adding events to an ancestor's life, I thought I would like to add when a spouse/child/parent dies to their timeline, but I am not smart enough to figured out how use the form designer (though I have looked at it). :-) Will you kindly give me an idea how to go about that? ~ Lisa

You shouldn't need to use the Form Designer - just click on the + sign at the top of the Timeline and you can add an event type you want. When creating a new event, just enter whatever you would like to call the event (i.e. "Death of Parent") in the "new value" field to the right of the Event Type select drop down - it will be remembered and you will be able to select it going forward.

Hope this helps!

Using Jamroom

derrickhand300:Hey Ken- quick question ( off topic)
Do we need to pay now to ask questions in the forum?
For come reason I am no longer allowed to post a question and I am not sure if its because I am no longer paid support or if I have been banned from it?
If you have seen anything about this pls let me know
Thanks

Are you getting an error when you try to post? We have not started "enforcing" subscription rules for members at this time - but of course reserve the right to do so :)

let me know as you shouldn't see any issues.

are these hack attacks and any way to filter them


Installation and Configuration

soaringeagle:everytime i look at the users online i see attempts to access pages like
/wp-admin/
/wp/wp-admin/
/blog/wp-admin/
having never had a wordpress site on my domain i assume these are randomly generated hack attacks looking for a wp admin login screen to launch a brute force attack on
is there any way at the jr..or server account level to catch these wp-admin attempts and blacklist them

i do have wp sites on the server in diferent account spaces so it cant be a global fix

Yeah those are just zombie servers "fishing" for new servers to take over. I would just Google it to see if you can block them - I'm not sure how you would do that right now.
