Event calendar feature requests
Installation and Configuration
I hear you - I just want to be sure that you know there is likely going to be some editing of templates and such that you will need to do if you want to customize your site. For those that don't want to customize their site in any way, they will want to just stick with the "out of the box" Jamroom experience. If that won't work for them, then Jamroom may not be the platform for them.
I learned a long time ago you can't please everyone, and we're hopeful that even if we don't cover 100% of Ning's features, that the hundreds of additional features you can get with Jamroom more than makes up for it.
Also - I just pushed out a new release of the Event module that moves the small "calendar button" as well as the "attending" button into the item detail and list button configuration (which is where they should be). The calendar image has been updated to be a little more colorful to.
Hope this helps!

Duplicate image in first two positions in image galleries
Installation and Configuration
I'm not seeing this here in jrNingja on my site. I've tried both the profile level (clicking on "Gallery") as well as the "images" section.
When you hold you edit the images are the ID's the same?

Sorry to hear you're having issues @andyf - I appreciate you coming here and letting us know. This is a big reason we're moving forward on getting a "hosting comparison" browser online here that will let users rank hosting providers.
One thing I have seen constantly over the years is that hosting is almost always an area of problems, so hopefully we can do a better job of helping users find quality hosting at an affordable price.

Jamroom Developers
b360:Not sure if this will help you folks out but I have a Phpbb 3.0.12 bridge for Jamroom 5 available.
Just to add that I think this is a great solution for anyone looking for a more "featured filled" forum than the Profile Forum module. phpBB3 has a ton of features to it that are way more involved than what you'll ever find in the Profile Forum module, as our main goal with the forum module is to make it more streamlined and easy to use versus feature packed.
Nice module @b360

Proxima Question
Installation and Configuration
jimmyk:Let me see if I understand this correctly:
If I want to focus on the App I should install Proxima. Were Proxima will be a simple front end website (promoting the app) along with the backend. Proxima would provide the services like "hosted App" websites out there. So, if I wanted to create a dating app I would use Proxima to store the data from all the members (simple example).

Yep - that sounds right.
Quote:If I wanted to create an App for my JR core site, I would use your soon to be released Proxima Bridge or would I install JR + Proxima + Proxima Bridge?
Exactly - you would have Jamroom running (which would look just like your existing site - no need to use the Proxima Skin unless you wanted to) then add in the Proxima Bundle + Proxima Bridge module, which would then provide API access to your existing Jamroom items.
Hope this helps!

Proxima Question
Installation and Configuration
jimmyk:The Proxima software looks really interesting. I've read most of the information about it but I guess I'm not fully wrapping my head around the concept.
I would like to have a JR site and create an app for that site. I'm not an app developer, but I'm starting to study about creating apps.
So, as an example, lets say I have an existing JR site with all the modules installed. The site is populated with tons of users and content. I'm looking at creating an app for that JR site:
1. Would I install Proxima and use that as the interface between my app and the JR site OR (2)?

Yes - but not quite yet
I'm working on "Proxima Bridge" which is a Proxima module to do exactly that. I'm hoping to have that done shortly.Quote:
2. Is Proxima a separate install OR (3)?
3. Does Proxima replace JR core?

Yes and No - you install Proxima as a bundle - it runs ON TOP of the Jamroom core.
Quote:Let's say I don't have a site setup and I'm beginning development of both a website and a app.
1. Should I just install Proxima along with all the modules?
1. Should I just install Proxima along with all the modules?
Yeah that is what I would do. The Proxima Alpha skin has been designed to "showcase" your mobile app (or desktop app or whatever) so it's a really good choice for a Proxima site.
Quote:Sorry for the questions. If I had a better understanding of the mobile space maybe I would understand Proxima. I understand that Proxima is providing a link between the data and the app, I'm just not understanding how JR core and Proxima work together or if they're supposed to be used together. I'm just plain confused.
Proxima is a set of modules that run on a Jamroom Core install - just like any other Jamroom module.
If you're familiar with the idea of a "Backend as a Service" (BaaS) - that's what Proxima is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Backend_as_a_service
Basically it provides API endpoints (URLs) that will respond with JSON data (not HTML) so it can be "parsed" by a mobile app. Image you want to add a "leaderboard" to your mobile app (say you're making a game) and need somewhere off device to store that data (so it can be seen by all your players) - you'd use the Proxima Data API service to "store" that data in what is best thought of as big web-connected database.
Let me know if that helps

You need to update your skin config - that variable is a hard coded URL you entered into your skin config.
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks!

Just an update on this that this is still in the works - it's trickier than I thought it would be. I just pushed out version 1.1.0 with some fixes and feature updates as I didn't want to "sit" on those waiting for the other work, so just an FYI that it is still on my TODO.
Thanks!
