Changing the height of the header
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Thanks for the pointer.

This class does not appear to accessible from the style editor in the ACP. So I downloaded all the CSS files and searched to find the .spacer class in header.css.

All class should show in the Style editor - you may have to click on the untagged tab, as not all classes/id's have been "tagged" (with a title and help).

Hope this helps!

new "performance test" accuracy
Installation and Configuration

soaringeagle:one thing we found is although they told me ramdrive was mounted at a particular path and i configured the server that way no ramdrive was mounted
so that could be a significant cause

i upgraded mysql and litespeed and requested they mount the ramdrive
pindom tools testing from a freinds pc had 2-5 second loads everytime so thats definately a good speed for a kinda heavy page
but i think the ramdrive being set right shoiuld really improve that score

is there a details log i mean it says it runs several tests to determine the score
a details log that tells you wich tests lowered the score would surely help you find the cause and fix it

A 2 - 5 second page load time is really not good - not at all. Your page load should at max 1 second with Jamroom - unless you're just doing something really crazy it should never take 5 seconds.

What are you using a ramdrive? The only thing that would help on a server by using a ram drive would be to set MySQL's /tmp partition to the ram drive, but then if you get too busy and run our of space on that ramdrive you will have issues.

Embed Vimeo videos using URLs? Why not?
Installation and Configuration

The Jamroom Media URL Scanner module uses the Vimeo API to get information about the video being embedded so it can show the title of the video which you can't get just by simply embedding it.

My Developer Tools skin cloner is not working right
Installation and Configuration

Ken_Rich:What I suggested to Brian, is that it might be better for us to have the "changeset" info, so we can tweak our clones, rather than work in the opposite direction and add our mods to new Ningja versions.

You should not be doing it that way as it is. The "compare" tool was designed to help you with this:

- when a new version of NingJa comes out, update to it
- go into the TEMPLATE tab of your custom skin
- click on "compare" next to the template you want to compare
- adjust the drop down so it shows the template from jrNingJa - i.e. "jrNingJa/index.tpl - 1.0.11"
- that will show you the difference between the NEW jrNingja/index.tpl file and YOUR index.tpl file.

We actually do have some small updates for this coming in the next release - Michael has worked in a nicer looking compare screen that did not quite make it into this last release, adn there's a few other tweaks and updates as well that could help.

Maintaining change sets is not something we will go back to however, so we just want to come up with a solution here that is workable.

Thanks!

Bounced emails


Jamroom Developers

DannyA:When sending via Mailgun, the sender of email appears as

admin=mydomain.com@bulk.mydomain.com; on behalf of; admin@mydomain.com

Is there a way to simplify that? so its just admin@mydomain.com?

Am i missing something in the mailgun config?

You would need to contact Mailgun for support with this - when Jamroom sends the email it simply sends from "admin@mydomain.com".

new "performance test" accuracy
Installation and Configuration

The performance test runs completely on your server - your browser has no impact on it.

Based on the performance issues I've seen you post over the weeks, I'm really suspecting your server is not setup properly OR you are not actually getting what you are paying for. If you are on a dedicated 8 core server with 3.8ghz CPUs, with 8G RAM you should never, ever get 40. The only way that would happen is if your disk subsystem was so slow that it brought everything way down.

One thing I can do for the next release is break out the CPU results and Disk results and show how they contributed to the overall score. But if your disks are so slow they are pulling your server down to a score of 40, you need to replace them.

How much are you paying each month? What are your disk requirements as far as space goes?

Hope this helps!

Multiple profiles per user account (?)
Installation and Configuration

Multiple profiles per user in Jamroom is actually pretty easy. Make sure their in a Jamroom Quota that has the "Power User" featured enabled (ACP -> User Accounts -> Quota Config -> Power User Enabled). You can set how many "extra" profiles can be created, and what quota those profiles can be created in.

When the user is logged in and viewing their profile they will see a + in their profile where they can then create additional profiles.
