Why Do Images Default to this Value?

Design and Skin Customization

I just pushed another update to the ShareThis module - we needed a custom template for jrProfile in order to directly share the profile index. I also removed the "crop" from the image URLs.

Hope this helps!

Have done customizations outside of templates that you feel won't be easy to transfer? Ideally it shouldn't be hard at all (maybe take 10 minutes of your time...)

The vast majority of our customers want to create community sites - i.e. a site about basketweaving This means they want profiles that contain blogs, forums, discussions, images, etc - you'd be surprised how many sites are not using Audio at all.

If you're trying to make an rdio or spotify clone, then your best bet is likely to create something custom from the ground up. Jamroom is very heavily "profile centered", and it looks like you're more interested in creating an internet radio station where the songs, videos, etc. are curated or handled by you. Jamroom can do that, it's just not setup like that "out of the box", and it would take a completely custom skin to make it all appear seamless. It's actually not hard, but I get the feeling you're hoping to get something "out of the box" that works for you, which is why Jamroom may not be the best fit for what you're looking for.

I'd try contacting the author of the script you've posted and see if they do custom work.

Hope this helps!

The hardest one is your #2 - having audio that plays all over the site. I've actually worked on this, but there's only 2 ways to do it:

- make the entire site an AJAX based "single page app" so you're never really going to different pages. These types of sites have horrible SEO though (all the "history" and "URL" hacks to make real URLs are finicky and prone to errors). This also makes it much harder for our customers to customize their site

- Make the "audio engine" popup on a window, which the user minimizes, then the actual audio is targeted through this open window. This is how we will eventually handle it in Jamroom since it will fit in better with existing designs and functionality.

It's a lot of work and there are quite a number of issues that our customers have made higher priority for us.

awesome - glad to hear that

Thanks!

- Jamroom supporta albums, singles and I'm guessing "mixtapes" (not 100% sure what that is). If it can be represented by a music file, then JR supports it.

- I agree this would be cool, but we don't support this at this time.

- Style is really varied across sites - we try to present designs that are easy to customize.

- Jamroom already supports this.

Sorry it hasn't worked out for you - hopefully you can find something that suits your needs better.

Thanks!

Skin User Menu

Design and Skin Customization

I've just released version 1.3.0 of the Profile Followers module. It moves "Followers" to the profile menu, which is where it should have been all along. Update and this should make more sense now.

Hope this helps!

Meta Information on Playlist shares

I just tested here on a playlist and it is working - I added "test" as a playlist_description custom form field:

Yes - remove that. I have tested here on the audio module and see no issues - it is picking up audio_description. I will test with playlist, but it uses a DS so should be identical to audio.
