Continuing truncate issues
Using Jamroom

Whenever you truncate you have to also strip HTML or you'll get issues - i.e. change it to this:

{$row.blog_text|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|jrCore_strip_html|truncate:150}

You also no longer need to have the "nl2br" in the jrCore_format_string white list either as of JR 5.2.21.

Hope this helps!

Natedogg265:You look like a sports writer. That fixed it.

lol - maybe in my next career :) I'm a big Mariners and Seahawks fan (been living in Washington since 1975)

going live on new domain in hours need clarification on new base url tool
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Alternatively, I can sign up for a Mailgun account between now and Monday. I have already downloaded the jrMailgun module, I just haven't activated or configured it.

I would recommend going with Mailgun - you'll get significantly higher delivery rates than sending directly from the local server.

Make sure signup for Mailgun account, install the free Mailgun module and configure it, and then in the Email Support module make sure you select the "Mailgun HTTP API" as your Active Email System.

All email will then be sent through Mailgun. Arvixe will actually shut your site off if you exceed X number of emails per minute, so I would skip their email handling all together and setup Mailgun.

Hope this helps!

Context sensitive menu in Tiny MCE editor?

There is an "Insert/Edit Link" button in the toolbar - is that what you saw?

Profile pages show not found
Installation and Configuration

Natedogg265:I updated my site last night. I noticed today if I am not logged in that I get "page not found" when trying to view any profiles. Is there some setting I am over looking?

ACP -> Proxima Core -> Global Config -> Enable User Profiles -> check it and save

By default on a Proxima site the user profiles are hidden.

Hope this helps!

Jamroom 4.3.0 - How do I edit the terms of service?
Installation and Configuration

Pages in Jamroom 4 just map to a template in your active skin directory - i.e.

yoursite.com/skins/SkinName/terms_of_service.tpl

Hope this helps!

going live on new domain in hours need clarification on new base url tool
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:The JR install is in what will be thechocolatelife.com/ and not in any sub-directory.

The only line I need to change the config.php file is the base URL file.

Do I need to run the rebase URL utility from within the Jamroom ACP?

No - rebase is for moving module release directories back to their main directory - you don't need to do that - just:

- update URL in config.php
- reset all caches

Hope this helps!

thechocolatelife:Brian -

Tested this and it works like a charm. Enabled it for most user quotas. This is going to be a real help for my members.

Awesome - glad to hear it - thanks!

For both Proxima and the Jamroom Cloud modules I do plan on having some diagrams online - just haven't made them yet :)

Events - Adding Multiple Dates
Suggestions

Looking at this a bit further, there is actually already a number of custom form fields that are created by the events module on INSTALL (to handle the recurring stuff).

Paul - I think we could support this fairly easily by adding the "end date" field(s) into the install.php as well, so Ning users could just "enable" the fields and have it work.

I agree however on the "delights of the Form Designer, ACP Editors and Templates" - to really get the most out of Jamroom you need to understand the form designer and templates. Invest a couple hours NOW learning about them and you will be able to do anything you want with your site.
