Archive content importing in reverse order issues, & navigating that
Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:I know this was mentioned before by someone, but the fact that SOME categories of my content (uploaded audio clips, members, and videos for examples) have imported to JR in the order of being listed oldest first, it produces various problems, especially in terms of navigating to find items.

I've checked this out, and at this time I believe the createdAt and updatedAt timestamps that Ning is including in the Archive are wrong - I'm not 100% positive, but we use the EXACT same ordering and timestamps for everything, and we only see this on SOME pages. I'm aware of it and looking into it.

Thanks!

Form Designer - Checkbox validation
Installation and Configuration

SelfmadeClub:no it don't helps, i added a checkbox and made it required. but i can upload songs without checking that box.

That's because a Check box form field has 2 allowed values - "on" and "off", so I don't believe that is going to work for you. At this time I'm not sure how you would make this work but if I can think of something I will update this thread.

Thanks!

Chart configuration
Design and Skin Customization

You would do:

chart_day_start = 20131001
chart_day_end = 20131101

That would give you a chart for ALL of October, 2013.

Format is: YYYYMMDD

Hope this helps!

profile ids to profile names
Jamroom Developers

Good catch Michael - the reason it works this way is that "_profile_id" is a key on EVERY item, but "profile_id" is basically a special "flag" that the Profile module watches for (via the db_search_params listener) and does some extra work, so that's how it keeps the order correctly. Not sure if there is a fix at the profile level to make them work the same, but I will check it out.

Thanks!

IE 9 Compatibility Issue?
Using Jamroom

IE9 is definitely out of date, but I believe it still works on the file uploads (note that I believe IE7 and older are not supported at all).

I will load up my Windows XP VM that has old browsers in it I use for testing and see if I see an issue.

Timeline Posting
Using Jamroom

Ken_Rich:Yes... But now that I think of it, that's a MSkin problem someone reported to Nate last July that he didn't fix... I switched profile skins and confirmed it's in MSkin.

I haven't had a chance to style another skin to replace it in profiles, so the bottom line is to get out of trouble quickly I either have to try and clone that style, or fix the bug...

The latest Activity Timeline module has a global config check box to "enable editor" that you can use to enable the editor on any JR skin in the profile timeline.

Hope this helps!

Unable to update some Discussions
Installation and Configuration

Jamroom already tries to increase max allowed upload time (I will double check but I believe it is already done).

Unfortunately with the limits in place on your server you're not going to be able to host media of anything but very small size - JR will not be able to run FFMpeg to convert the media, and you won't be able to upload anything very large.

Need for a Search within specific features (& Profiles/member List issues)
Installation and Configuration

michael:eg: normally i can see 10, but with firebug open 5 displays better.

As a developer I agree 100%, but as a user having more "controls" in an interface leads to more initial confusion. From a UI perspective we should always try to do the simplest implementation first - if that does not work and users ask for more control, then we expand. But "simplest" should always be first.
