FOURM question?
Installation and Configuration
That's the wrong template - open header_menu_mobile.tpl - it does not look like that.
Hope this helps!
JR PJ - Comments Sort
Using Jamroom
Dazed:Hey Brian. Changing this did correct the sort issue. Using _created desc had me all over the map for site comments. I had posts for 2008 appearing as the first post.
OK - those would be posts that were "imported" via the JR4 import tool. We would need to check that out and make sure it was creating the correct time stamp.
Thanks!

Jamroom Developers
DannyA:I think there is also something to be said for auto-scaling. Being able to monitor capacity of existing transcoder cluster and spin up additional servers on demand can really help if you have very spikey encoding demands. No sense leaving servers running unnecessarily.
The way Jamroom does everything via queues, this is really not as imperative as it may seem - all that happens is your queue latency gets a bit higher when you're in a "spike". Since it's not customer facing (i.e. your users aren't waiting on it to get their page rendered) I wouldn't worry about it.
Quote:Is it safe to say that one worker queue job is allocated per core? Does that apply to any queue task?
That's controlled by you. What we've done for our transcoding service is set it up so if we have 8 cores (for example), we have 7 video workers and 4 audio workers. The audio workers are much "lighter" on the CPU and can squeeze in to that last core and the "free" time on the video workers CPU.
Hope this helps!
Migrating From Ning - Can Large Sites Successfully Migrate?
Installation and Configuration
derrickhand300:Hello
I would like to migrate my site from NING to another platform such as JAMROOM. My site has 15,000 members and a huge number of photos videos and pages. I am looking for a platform that I can host on my Amazon server and that I control 100%
I paid a designer in Italy last year to try and fix/rewrite the code for BUDDYPRESS but in the end it turned out to be impossible to migrate using it.
Does anyone have experience migrating a large site to JAMROOM? I would be looking to hire someone who could make this happen
Thanks
Curtis

Hi Curtis - welcome to Jamroom!
15,000 members isn't too large - Jamroom should be able to handle that no problem for you. Unless your committed to AWS I'd recommend alternate hosting (from my experience EC2 is underpowered in the CPU department compared to other offerings).
How many photos and videos do you have? Are your videos hosted elsewhere (say YouTube) or are they local?
Hope this helps!
FOURM question?
Installation and Configuration
mark:Thanks Brian! I figured.
No problem - check the header_menu_desktop.tpl and header_menu_mobile.tpl templates as well - they contain the actual menu items.
FOURM question?
Installation and Configuration
You can't add it there - that menu is for User options (i.e. options related to a user) - they are added by a registered module feature.
You can modify the header.tpl in your skin and add a link there to the forum if you want however.

2 tiny questions bout new search version
Installation and Configuration
Someday we'll have a Jamroom team "get together", which would be awesome. We just need to get sales up so we can afford the airline tickets

ogg conversion failures
Installation and Configuration
soaringeagle:when doing mass conversions of media files they seemto go very very slow compared to when you just upload 1 (i mean it takes days to do only 100 or so files)
Sounds like you have some corrupted files. Note that when ffmpeg is doing a conversion, I've seen some cases where the conversion can take a VERY long time - if you look at the errors coming out it's running into hundreds/thousands of bad "frames" and it spends all it's time trying to "reset" itself.
Make sure you're using the JR provided FFMpeg too - not one that was already on your system. If you still have issues, delete the offending files and retry, or turn off OGG conversion.
Having done tens of thousands of conversions on this end I've not seen it but maybe on one or two files (and they were bad files).
Hope this helps!

defaulting to www
Installation and Configuration
Is your .htaccess file setup properly to redirect non-www requests to www? Since you are using your domain with a www, any non-www requests MUST be 301 redirected to your www version or you will have issues.
Add this BELOW the "RewriteEngine On" line:
# HTTP
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .? http://www.yourdomain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]of course change "yourdomain" to your actual domain.
Then delete all files in data/cache/jrCore and data/cache/jrYourSkin
Log in and run an integrity check, then reset caches.
Hope this helps!
