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

Yeah - I understand what you're looking for in that regards - it will be something we add specific to the NingJa skin (not a JR feature).

Hope this helps!

Time to spice up the Timeline!
Suggestions

I'm not seeing any issues with it here:

https://www.jamroom.net/brian/action

note the module Michael is talking about is the Site Builder, and entire skin/system - not a single module.

Hope this helps!

Installation and Configuration

You have a problem with your server - it's very hard from here to tell you what it is, but you've got something that is restricting the time a script can run, the amount of data it can read, the amount of memory it can use, etc. Your hosting provider would have to check out your PHP install and figure out what it is, although my 11+ years experience doing this I'm fairly certain your hosting provider will say it is a script issue - they always do.

Sure - if you want to accept larger videos than 32mb, you'll need to set your php.ini settings to something much larger than 128M - say 1024M, which will get you a 256M upload limit.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

UrlScan module?
Using Jamroom

gary.moncrieff:Ah gotcha, was just curious as I paste links here to tinypic.com and the images weren't showing inline.

Ahh - that's an "offsite" URL, so we'd have to have a handler specific to TinyURL to "know" it's an image URL. Might be an update to URLscan to allow you to define URL "types" so we can have support for URLs without having to make a TinyURL "module" just so it can contain a listener... kind of a cool idea :)

UrlScan module?
Using Jamroom

gary.moncrieff:Hey Guys

Curious why this module doesn't detect image urls and then show them in the post?


The module doesn't actually detect anything - it sends out an event trigger so other modules can properly handle their own items. It should work on Gallery images - but I can check it out.

Thanks!

Isleander:This is info i received from my Host Support team.
--------
Looking at the video player I can see the flash player is streaming the video am I correct in saying that the video format is .flv and .m4v ? If this is the case I would recommend uploading your videos in .mp4 format because I have found that this format has better support across the browsers.

.m4v IS an MP4, and has wide support on mobile devices.

Quote:Would it be possible to attempt streaming a video using HTML5? I am not sure how attached you are to the flash player but you may find this easier to work with.

Jamroom's player is an HTML 5 player - it falls back to flash if the browser does not support HTML 5.

Isleander:It would appear that the max memory permitted is 128M. Which gives me only 32MB Maximum. So will be unable to upload larger video files. Effectively, for me, this makes the JR video player redundant.

I'm not following here - how does the max allowed upload size make the player redundant?

Thanks!

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

Ken_Rich:I'm not sure what you mean by that - what button?

The "person" and "globe" button to decide between profile/site wide.

Ken_Rich:
Well that's OK if they want to search "site wide" by which I mean all categories. However, if you are just looking for Christmas videos, then you don't want Christmas blogs, and Christmas pictures showing up - hence a category specific search box in each category and a site wide one in the main menu.

Of course - the Embed modal window is already setup by categories - your search within "audio" would be for audio items, not blogs.

So I think we agree - what is needed here is ONLY a search field (with "search" and "reset").

- by default the user sees their own items
- IF ALLOWED (by the site config) the "search" will show. If they do a search it does a site wide search
- if they press "reset" they go back to seeing their own items.

I think that is simple and clean.

Thanks!

soaringeagle:ok but then would need to maintain multiple servers ofour own?
my sites pretty large but think it would have to be alot bigger to cover the costs of multipler servers though hooingto get there within a year

Yep - it's designed for those sites that need it, and it would definitely be more expensive to run multiple servers, so I'd recommend not using it unless you need it :)

Do we really need to have a button to decide? Why not show the user their own items by default and if they "search" then search site wide? I think the cleanest and easiest way for users would be to remove the entire bar there (we don't need the 5/10/15/20 icons) and have a clean search field. If they search, show all matches in that category.

I think it is important that we focus on ease of use and NOT maximum configurability.
