Confusing Page Titles
Installation and Configuration

I'm starting to feel a little bit bad here Clay - seems like there's 10+ issues every day on your site, and while we're trying hard to help out and identify the issues, I hope you're not getting frustrated.

1) Search results can contain results from many modules..

2) Isn't this correct?

3) I'm guessing you want those separated?

4) Again - isn't that correct?

5) note/notes is correct - "note" => Module URL (required) - "notes" - this is the VIEW function that is run IN the "note" module. If you type in yoursite.com/notes then that will load the "notes.tpl" file from your SKIN - it's not a module view.

Itunes
Design and Skin Customization

musicquest:is the a way to make jamroom function just like itunes where users can sell music but the site determines the cost and then get a % of all the sale?

Yes - you would use the FoxyCart module and set the "Payout Percent" to something less than 100, and then you would use the "audio import" tool to pull in audio and create profiles based on uploaded music you control.

Hope this helps!

More weirdness - missing blog post
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:What I did not find was the 33 blog posts she created.

If "landen" is not in the blog_title or blog_body, it will not be found by search.

Home Page Anomalies: Latest Forum Posts AND Newest Members not updating
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Latest Forum Posts
For some reason, the Latest Forum Posts content block is only reflecting changes I am making. This was working on Sunday and stopped working at some point Sunday evening, probably.

It sounds like something did change on your server - I can't think of any instances where things that "were" working just stopped for no reason.

Quote:Since the @FBM-srl profile was created (this is a second profile in an account in a new quota to test the ability to share profiles among members) there have been at least two new member signups that I have approved that don't show up on this list.

A lot of site level templates require images in order for the profile to show - if the profiles do NOT have a profile image, they may not show (depending on your skin settings).

visitor - /crossdomain.xml in users online log
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:I don't have audio on my site. What other flash objects are there? Likes? Ratings?

Just curious.

--- edited to add ---

YouTube video player?

It could be anything - "crossdomain.xml" is kind of like robots.txt - lots of bots and spiders will look for it. Just ignore it. If I were you I would turn off your access_log - just use something like Google Analytics, as access logging just slows your server down and provides very little insight into what is going on your server. Just my 2 cents.

streamed content on diferent drive/subdomain/cdn
Suggestions

soaringeagle:would that also move photos
id like to keep photos on the fast drive

Yes that would, but I don't think that would matter much.

EDIT TO ADD: your photos are being served out of data/cache/jrImage after being resized, so you'd be serving photos from your SSD. The "master" image would be on the SATA drive.

streamed content on diferent drive/subdomain/cdn
Suggestions

soaringeagle:ssd drives are expensive but awesome for fast load speeds
sata drives are cheap for massive ammounts of data
it would be awesome if all vids and music that use alot of space could be moved to a sata drive an account like cdn.domain.com
and all streamed data that eats up a whole lotta space can be streamed off a cheaper drive

You can already do this:

- add a second large SATA drive to your server
- move /data/media to the SATA drive - i.e. /mnt/media
- create a symbolic link to the new location - i.e. in /home/jamroom/public_html/data you would create a symlink:

media -> /mnt/media

Then all your site media is located on the SATA drive while all other parts of JR are on the fast SSD.

I'd recommend it if you have the setup for it.

Home page content block not updating, bad URLs in Activity feed
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:These changes are in index.tpl? It's impossible to get a timestamp as updating any template file on a page updates the timestamps on all of them. Or at least it does in my system. I made footer.tpl inactive, saved changes, now all of the modified template files have the same modification timestamp.

Is this in your FTP client or in the Template Editor?

Thanks!

Home page content block not updating, bad URLs in Activity feed
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:On a related note, and I apologize for doubling up -

The Latest Forum Posts content block on the home page is now only showing posts I created.

It's not showing ones I add comments to and it's not showing posts created or updated by other people.

This was working properly yesterday. I know it was.

I did not modify anything else on your site besides the jrForum/templates/item_activity.tpl file. Are you sure something didn't get updated on your site overnight?

thechocolatelife:Brian -

Had I modified item_action before you made this fix? I keep a change log of the modules I work in and the dates but I don't have a log of changes I might have made here.

No - it's not something you did - the item_action.tpl is wrong, but it could actually appear "correct" some times, so it was tricky to "see" the problem.

The real fix for it can't happen in the template so it will be in the next module update.
