Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality

Installation and Configuration


If you are using the new functionality in the Gallery module that shows ALL images instead of the individual galleries, I think the best solution is probably just to change the profile menu entry from "Gallery" to "Images" - they both then line up with what you get when you actually click on it...

Yeah I definitely would not recommend S3fuse any longer - I think it might be the "simplest" in that it integrates right at the file system, but XtremeFS is a much more complete (and maintained) solution.

Creating an S3 "layer" for Jamroom's media system is a pretty complicated task - much more than it may seem on the surface. The reason is that in Jamroom most of the media handling is done via queue entries as "chunks" - i.e. some bit of work is done on the file, then it is put back, then something else might pick up the file and work on it, then put it back, etc. This all works great and isolates the processes really well, but is a problem when the file is not local.

The way Jamroom's media API layer works is not an event/listener like you've used on other modules, it uses Jamroom's plugin functions to do the work. This means you make a specific filesystem (say S3) the "active" media file system (there is no control for this at this time since right now Jamroom only supports the local file system), and then any media function calls - say jrCore_get_media_directory() - will in turn call the active plugin function - i.e. _jrCore_local_media_get_directory(), or jrS3_s3_media_get_directory(), etc.

I do plan on making this work - eventually, as I see cloud storage as an important part of the Jamroom Cloud. There's just not been much demand yet for S3 support, so it's not been a high priority.

Just was reading this:

http://htwp2.com/to-ping-or-not-to-ping/

so it looks mainly like a tool to update blog search engines that you have new content.

Can you clarify how this works for us - what exactly is an "update service"? I'll do some searches on ping-o-matic and see what it does, but clarification on what services it reaches out to would be great.

Thanks!

I don't think there is anything wrong with the DB. Most likely what you're seeing here is Genosis's "privacy" setup kicking in.

Go to ACP -> Genosis -> Genosis Core -> Global Config and you'll see a setting "Public View Cutoff" - I believe it is set to 1900. What this means is that anyone WITHOUT a birth date OR a birth date AFTER 1900 will not be visible to users who are NOT logged in. This is so you can keep information about family members that are still alive private.

So set that to something like 2100 if you want your entire tree to be public.

Let me know if that helps.

No worries - definitely not a silly question! I've learned that for every person that asks a question, there's probably 10 people wondering the same thing

Thanks!

Events - Adding Multiple Dates

Suggestions

That looks correct, and should work - did you activate the template and reset caches?

No - you're not being obtuse at all.

I think the issue here is that you only have 2 profiles on your site - and if they are on different trees then the chart is not going to work.

Go into one of those profiles and add parents or children and the chart should work - I don't believe it will generate a chart without any relatives.

Let me know if that helps.

One thing that might be confusing here (not sure) is that if you enable the index Blog Posts, they show on ALL trees. Let me know if you were expecting those to change between trees...

Hmm - it seems to be working here for me.

When I click on:

Ceri Shaw - I get "My family tree. ( under construction )" and the tree name is Ceri Shaw

Example Tree - I get "An example tree!" and the tree name is Example Tree

When I click on "Tree 3" I get "Tree 3"

So all that looks correct to me. I've not seen an issue with this before so I am not sure what to suggest. What browser are you using?

Thanks!
