Possible glitch with jrForum on jamroom.net

Using Jamroom

Thanks Steve - I will check this out.

tinymce in comments and chat module development questions

Using Jamroom

I think the easiest thing for us to do is make it a Global Config option that you can check to enable the editor for comments - I've got that on my to-do list here and will get that done ASAP. Paul has told me that this is something he feels most ning migrations are going to want, so we'll make that easy to switch on.

Hope this helps!

One all networks Profile vs account

Jamroom Developers

OneAll's primary function is for social login / signup, since it does all it's work via the user's browser (javascript), as that is how it validates a user's requests and does authentication.

You might be able to do something custom to set it up how you want it to work, but it's going to require some way for a user to "switch identities" in their browser, which is not something we've created.

Hope this helps!

JR Video Player on index.tpl or any other skin template

Jamroom Developers

You'll need to post your questions to the n8flex forum:

http://www.jamroom.net/n8flex/forum

we can't support the M5 skin as we did not create it.

Thanks!

this likely means your SSL certificate is installed wrong OR you are accessing your site from the wrong URL (i.e. your data/config/config.php is set to use "http://yoursite.com" and you are accessing at http://www.yoursite.com).

It should be the audio image - you can see the image being shared by viewing source on an audio detail page and looking at the og: tags.

Hope this helps!

tinymce in comments and chat module development questions

Using Jamroom

Right now the WYSIWYG field (the editor) is only available in specific "editor" fields. For comment fields, user can use BBCode, simply paste in URLs (they will be made clickable) or if you have the URL Scan module installed it automatically embeds a ton of stuff.

If you wanted to add the TinyMCE editor to comments you'd need to customize the modules/jrComment/templates/comment_form.tpl file - copy it to:

skins/YourCustomSkin/jrComment_comment_form.tpl and that will "override" the one provided by the comment module.

My recommendation would be to NOT do that however - in my experience with running online sites for almost 20 years, the only thing it will be used for is for users to embed links to their sites or spammers to setup links to their sites. But that's your call

Hope this helps!

Thanks for letting us know - I will get this fixed up.

Lots of questions and issues being reported on the Ning forum

Installation and Configuration

I just got done browsing through a lot of posts over here:

http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/contingency-planning-what-s-yours

and see just a ton of information and mis-infomration on Jamroom being posted, and want to be sure that if anyone has any questions please let us know here - we have no way of following up over on the Ning forum.

Some things I see being talked about are:

1) Jamroom is hard to understand - I think this is a bit like going from a PC to a Mac. Your first thought is "oh wow what do I do". JR is VERY modular, and once you've had 5 or 10 minutes to click around in the admin control panel I think you'll agree that things are all laid out very logically, but like anything new there is going to be a short learning curve before you see how things work. Jamroom is significantly more configurable than Ning.


2) Jamroom is too hard to design for - I think this is going to be true for Ning users that are used to building their site via "drag and drop". JR is template based, and changing your site around is done by tweaking templates. We do have the "Site Builder" system we are working on, but to be clear - you're always going to have the most creative freedom modifying templates.

Jamroom uses Smarty templates which are HTML and easy to change and modify.


3) If you are customizing your site via templates, please make sure and install the Developer Tools module:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/50/developer-tools

This is going to be included by default in the next release of the Jamroom Core, but for now you can go to the ACP -> Marketplace and install the Developer Tools module. Make sure you set "Developer Mode" to enabled. This will make your site a bit slower, but will bypass caching so you can see your changes immediately.

Next, in the Developer Tools -> Tools section make sure and CLONE the skin you want to customize - that way you're working on your own custom skin and don't have to worry about any updates overriding your changes.

I'm hoping that if anyone runs into any issues that we can get you to post them here rather than over at the Ning forum - that way we can follow up and make sure we can replicate the issue or help you out and get things fixed up.

Thanks everyone!
