Unconverted Videos Showing

Using Jamroom


Their not made active until they are converted, but ARE visible to the Site Owner and admin users (this is so they can modify them if needed).

They won't show to your "regular" users.

Hope this helps!

Using Jamroom

OK this should be fixed on your site now - what's weird is that I should see the same issue here locally, but it's working for me locally, so I need to investigate it a bit more, but you should be good to go on your site.

Hope this helps!

The problem you will likely run into is that the page that that is within is going to be cached, and so even if you can get that small section to not cache, the outer page will be cached and so you won't see it change.

The real solution here is a bit more complicated:

1) Create a small custom module with a "view" of get_unread_note_count (or whatever) - views are NOT cached, but instead it's up to the module to handle it's own caching.

2) Create a Javascript function that runs an AJAX call that calls the view and returns the number of unread and updates the page

That's not hard to do, but is more involved than being able to do it at the template level.

It's got me thinking that have a core-provided solution for doing things like this would be a good idea, so I can check that out.

Hope this helps!

OK just got logged back in to your site and see that was well - let me check it out some more and I will get back to you.

Thanks!

Suggestions

OK weird - let me check that out - those should be URL encoded.

Thanks!

Unfortunately no - Jamroom does not use Smarty's caching (which is file system based) but instead uses a DB cache.

If you can clarify where you're looking to put the check I can tell you if there is a way to do it.

Hope this helps!

Design and Skin Customization


Yep - this is good to remember - you won't see your changes until you run an integrity check - EVEN if you are running in Developer Mode.

Thanks!

Problems importing members

Installation and Configuration

One thing that is not clear from the config help (and I will get it fixed up) is that the 14 days only expires a user's login if they don't visit the site AT ALL for 14 days, so the need for a longer setting length may not be needed.

Hope this helps!

Forgot how to rename cloned skin...again

Installation and Configuration


No - they are "sticky" but are specific to a skin. So let's say you have a custom skin called "CustomSkin" - that would be in this directory:

skins/CustomSkin

Then you customize the templates via the ACP -> Skins -> CustomSkin -> Template tab. Those changes are going to be stored in the database for the "CustomSkin" skin.

If you then CLONE the CustomSkin to say 'CustomSkin2', the database changes (at least right now) that you made to CustomSkin are NOT copied over to CustomSkin2 - only the actual files in skins/CustomSkin are copied.

I believe Michael is fixing this up.

However - if you plan on making a number of changes to your custom skin, I would highly recommend that you do your modifications directly to the templates in skins/CustomSkin. While it works both ways (changing the actual template OR customizing it via the ACP -> template section), you'll get a little bit higher performance by modifying the templates directly.

Hope this helps!
