All New Profile Groups modules
Installation and Configuration

gary.moncrieff:Thanks Brian, I can now see the direction these are going.

Just a heads up, the checkbox for Featured is actually showing as a Select and Text box. This will confuse some as you have to enter Yes or No otherwise it gives an error.

Sounds like a bad Form Developer field - go into the jr_jrcore_form table and remove all entries for jrGroup - sorry I overlooked that. I will get an update out that cleans those up in the module validation.

Thanks!

Installing the Proxima Bundle
Installation and Configuration

DannyA:It seems proxima has its own site. It makes me question your commitment to the future of Jamroom and all of the development I have put into customizing it thus far.

Proxima has it's own site since it is geared towards developers - it's something 99% of "regular" Jamroom users are not going to be interested in.

It's also one of our "Projects" so it lives on it's own profile (like Site Builder, Genosis, Ning to Jamroom, etc.)

Quote:I am trying to understand the path forward and how proxima ties in to my existing platform and code and how we would use it in the future. So

1.Is it possible to use proxima to create api's for custom modules? If so, is there documentation on doing so? I am trying to understand if be able to use the api's for my custom modules and how.

Yeah it is - think of the Proxima Core as a REST framework for building RESTful modules pretty quickly and easily. For example if you look inside the Proxima Data's include.php file you will see how we've defined a function for the 4 main REST verbs (POST, PUT, GET, DELETE).

There is no documentation at this time since there's been very little interest in it (although we have no advertised it at all).

Quote:2. Can you specify what functionality is NOT available in the API VS JR 5 core and vice versa.

The only functionality in it is what you see - User Accounts, File Support and Data support.

Quote:3. What does this mean for the future development of the JR5 core?

Proxima has no impact on the development of the Jamroom 5 core, which continues with regular updates (in fact I just put out version 5.2.14).

Hope this helps!

bug report
Installation and Configuration

soaringeagle:yes i did modify it but let me test

the mods i did were all for like the profile designer im building

but brb ill try the default ning and try the elastc etc

Just a heads up that I do all my development in Elastic - that's always the preferred skin to "test" things on if you think you've hit a bug. If it works there, but not in another skin, it's a skin issue, otherwise it's a module issue.

Thanks!

All New Profile Groups modules
Installation and Configuration

I believe I have all the licenses added to everyone's account that has purchased the Ning Bundle (or worked with Paul previously) - please let me know if I have overlooked anyone and I can add the licenses ASAP.

Thanks!

my list of things ning migrators will mkiss
Installation and Configuration

Make sure and check out the latest NingJa skin release and the new Groups modules I have released - while I don't think we are "all the way" there yet, I think we've taken a big step closer to recreating what you have with Ning "out of the box".

Chart counts don't work correct
Using Jamroom

SelfmadeClub:If two customers have the same(identical) number(quantity) of downloads and Plays, Jamroom does not take this on the same(identical) place. Depending on how the Cache is put(stopped) and when I call the charts once more, it can happen that before place 2, now place 3 is and vice versa.

This is due to how MySQL returns results when they have the same value and an order_by has been applied - there is no "guarantee" that they will always be in the same order.

If 2 items have an identical count value over the chart_days, what field should then be used to determine the (secondary) result order?

Thanks!

Fullscreen button in TinyMCE
Using Jamroom

This should be fixed now in Elastic, Lucid and NingJa - we'll be updating the rest of the skins with new z-index values to address this as well.

Thanks!

Sourcing a 2-Page Document
Genosis

lisa:Hello! I have another sourcing question. Some families are listed on a census document at the bottom of the page and spill over onto another page. How is it best to add both the pages? I have just been linking the folks who are on each particular page, but I didn't know if there was a different or even better way? Thanks! Lisa

Hi Lisa!

Right now the sources only takes 1 actual file, but you can "work around" that (until I can get better support in for multiple files) by "printing" both pages together as a PDF. On a Mac it's super easy - if you're on Windows I'm not sure how to do it, but here I just load up the 2 images in Preview, select "print" and print them both to a PDF then upload that PDF as the source.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!
