Search Error

Using Jamroom


Then jrNingPage must still be installed in some way. I don't see any other locations that the module is pulled in at.

If you update to the latest Search the module is checked for being active now - so that should fix this, although I'd like to get to the bottom of why it is happening.

This should be fixed now in the latest Genosis Core.

Hope this helps!

OK thanks - I will check that out. I must be adding that one in at a different location - not sure why I would do that but I will get it working

Thanks!

JR PJ - Comments Sort

Using Jamroom


On your site that should have made no difference - ordering by _created DESC and _item_id DESC should give you the exact same results.

The only reason we had to make this change is that when importing from other sites, sometimes the items can be "out of order" - i.e. item_id 3 actually is NEWER than _item_id 4. But on a JR system that is running on data just input from JR, there should be no difference.

Search Error

Using Jamroom

Make sure you've not added a custom search field for that module in the ACP -> Listing -> Search -> Global Config -> Additional Search Fields - I have a feeling you defined a search field for that module in there.

Hope this helps!

s3 and conversion server

Jamroom Developers


Don't worry about the OS - just use the same image you are using for your other servers - there's not going to be any substantial difference.

The big point is CPUs - you want as many CPUs as you can get - each one can really only handle 1 conversion at a time (you can run more, but they will slow down to the same speed as if you were only running 1).

having fast disk (i.e. SSD) is also really helpful since data is being read and written to the disk very fast - and if you're on a multicore system (say 4-8 CPUs) then you're disk needs to be able to keep up with 8-12 simultaneous conveters reading and writing.

So get LOTS of cpus and LOTS of fast disk if you want to be able to handle a lot at once.

Hope this helps!

p.s. check out mnx.io:

I know they are VPS but you can get an 8 CPU / 8 GIG RAM / 20 GIG SSD for like $47 a month.

Hope this helps!

Arranging Tabs In Profiles: How Do You ?

Design and Skin Customization


Yep - we know that. We know that Jamroom is not going to be the right choice for everyone. User's who aren't willing to learn a little bit about how Jamroom works are the ones that will need the most help at every step, which is hard on a small team like us. It also will likely leave them frustrated as they are going to want point and click at every single step, and that pushes Jamroom in the direction of being less configurable.

I'm certain there are a lot of web savvy Ning creators out there that will appreciate the configurability of Jamroom over our competitors, so I think we'll be good.

That of course doesn't mean we won't improve things where it makes sense and fits into Jamroom's philosophy - i.e. the "Site Builder" would be an appropriate place for drag and drop features - just not in the Core.

Hope this helps!

Can't Find Forum Template

Design and Skin Customization


This is something we'll get added to the NIngJa skin so the forum looks more like a "site" forum.

Hope this helps!

Genosis Events' Translation

Genosis

My latest updates to the Genosis Core and Genosis Events modules should have this all working - update and let me know if you see any issues. Note that the event lang strings were removed from the Genosis Core - they are only defined in the Genosis Events.

Hope this helps!

Yes - you can change the number of conversion workers on a conversion server, and you can also run as many different conversion servers as you want. More info on setting it up will be online once we get it to beta.

Thanks!
