jrcomment wont verify after update


Installation and Configuration

It may take a little bit to run as it has to create new keys, but it should not get a white screen - it took ~45 seconds to run here on Jamroom.net. Try an integrity check and let it run again.

Latest Ning Import module released.


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:Paul- whew thank goodness- I can do a simultaneous comparison. I will do this this weekend!

I think we can all agree that this whole 'forums vs groups vs discussions' subject has been a giant pain in the butt confusion between ning and jamroom... =8-* The good news is that as we struggle and tweak it will make the road a little bit smoother for those who come later.

A LOT of the confusion on our end was that we thought Ning actually had a "forum", but their idea of a forum is really just "pages with comments on them". I think if we had realized that earlier on then we would have stuck with the Forum "group" idea instead of using Jamroom's Profile Forum module, which is more of a "real" forum.

comment back (tip)


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:So, if i understand right:
enabling "reply" in your comment module means you will be replying to the person's comment on your wall in the same location- right under their comment in a threaded manner, in your comment wall.

Exactly. One important thing to know though is that if you are using the "editor" in your comments (which I am sure you are), the user will be scrolled down to the bottom where they enter their comment (if you're not using the editor your comment textarea goes right there inline). This is because the WYSIWYG editor cannot be moved around the page once it has been displayed without breaking. So just an FYI.

Quote:Whereas using "Comment Back" will take you to the other person's comment wall on THEIR profile page, to a new textbox where you can reply to them on THEIR commment wall (doing this can then notify them that someone has left a comment on their profile, which is the advantage over responding to them in your own comment wall).

Yes...

Invalid Signup Account Type


Installation and Configuration

musicianband:Hi,

I am getting this error on http://www.muzicieni-trupe.ro :
"Invalid Signup Account Type - please ensure you are choosing a valid Signup Account Type"

and signups are blocked.

I would really appreciate some guidance, as I had no success in solving the problem.

Thank you,

Regards

Go to ACP -> Users -> User Accounts -> Quota Config. For each Quota in your Jamroom check the "Allow Signups" option and SAVE if you want to allow users to signup to that quota.

Hope this helps!

Profile Domain Module - Procedure not Recommended?


Using Jamroom

Ken_Rich:I really want to get this module working on my network, so I sent the installation guide to my server guy.

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/2239/profile-domains

He came back with some links and a warning. He said he would not recommend doing it that way!!!

The problem he said, is that root should not be used to store anything

I'm not sure what he means here - Jamroom is not doing anything with your root account, nor storing anything in it.

Quote:and the changes manually made by SSH that the Jamroom guide suggests, could be overwritten by a panel update, or lost in a crash. There would be no way to restore and even the network itself could be lost.

This is 100% untrue, and it if it were true it would apply equally to any config by any server (apache, mysql, etc.). He is correct however that if you are using CPanel on you server then you will need to integrate it differently depending on where your Apache config is. I can't claim to know every config for every possible way your server could be setup, so our guide is designed for a "default" install of Apache (we use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS). Your server guy should know this.

Quote:He suggested there may be a better way, having to do with splitting the Apache. These links are what he is basing his opinion on. Are his concerns unfounded?

I can't tell you how to configure this with Cpanel - I don't use Cpanel (and wouldn't) but the issue is going to be:

- if you want to run this module and let it configure Apache for you, you'll need to set it up like we indicate in the guide. How and where that is done on your server I don't know.

- you can skip the Apache config in our guide and manually configure each new domain as a ServerAlias yourself if you want. Your server guy should know how to do this and show you how if you want to do it this way.

Hope this helps!

Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:I thought it was a new feature. BTW, there may be a bug in the sort ordering when threading is enabled.

I mentioned it to Paul here:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/ning-to-jamroom/22423/profile-page-change-sort-order-of-comments

Enabling threading appears to invert the sort order, displaying oldest comments first when order by Newest is selected.

I tested pretty thoroughly, so it should be good. I just tested the Sort Order here and don't see any problems. Is it a specific page you see it on?

You will see "Reply" if you have enabled comment threading, which is available in the latest User Comments module update.
