No problem - let me know if that doesn't fix it for you and I can check it out.

Thanks!

ahh - sounds like the skin is trying to pull in features that are note active yet (probably from the site builder modules). Michael is the lead for the Site Builder project, and he's actually out of town, so I'm not 100% certain if that is the case, but here's how to get it back:

1) You'll need to go into your hosting control panel and fire up phpMyAdmin (or go into phpMyAdmin if you have a link to it, or other Database browser)

2) go into the jr_jrcore_settings table and find the "active_skin" row for the jrCore module, and set the "value" to "jrElastic". Save that

3) EMPTY the contents of the jr_jrcore_cache table (i.e. "TRUNCATE TABLE jr_jrcore_cache)

That should get you back to elastic.

I will open a ticket for Michael on this, as switch skins should never end up like this, so sorry for that.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

How to access CSS for 'Meganizr' in PhotoPro skin?

Design and Skin Customization

First thing you want to do is make sure and go into the Marketplace and install the Developer Tools module, and then activate it. After that has been installed, go to Developer Tools -> Clone Skin. Make sure and clone the "Photo Pro" skin to a custom name (i.e. iamtimbo). You want to do this so in the future if there are updates to the PhotoPro skin, and you update, none of your template/css modifications will be lost.

Secondly, this will allow you to customize the CSS more in depth by simply editing the files in skins/iamtimbo/css - I'd recommend going that route rather than trying to modify things via the Style editor, as you have more control over all the classes and IDs.

Hope this helps!

RE: Migration from Ning 3.0

Installation and Configuration


At this time there are really no bridges for Jamroom 5 - not that they couldn't be developed (there are easy events in Jamroom to do so) but the only thing we've found in the past that works for bridging is forum software (i.e. phpBB, etc.). Trying to bridge another CMS really requires that a corresponding bridge be developed for the other direction (i.e. Joomla -> Jamroom) otherwise things just don't work out very well.

From a JR standpoint I would rather spend my time addressing any shortcomings in JR that would require someone to continue to run Joomla on the side - i.e. what functionality is Joomla providing that Jamroom can't?

Let me know if that makes sense.

Thanks!

RE: Migration from Ning 3.0

Installation and Configuration


And just to follow that up with a suggestion to check out how Jamroom's "Quotas" work. Every user in a Jamroom system has 2 things: a "User Account" (this is what holds the users login info, password, email address, etc.) and a "User Profile" - this is what the public sees. Jamroom Quotas are applied to the User Profile, and define the feature set that the profile has access to. This allows you to (for example) have a "basic quota" that only allows Blogs, and then a "music quota" that allows Blogs and Audio files. BY simply changing the Quota of a User Profile you can change the features available to the users.

The other really powerful feature of Jamroom is that a User Profile can have multiple User Accounts associated with it (i.e. that's how our Jamroom team is all associated with this "Ning To Jamroom" profile - you can see all 4 of us are listed on the left). This allows multiple users (i.e. band members) to post blog entries, songs, etc. to their Band Profile.

This also goes the other direction as well - a single User Account can have access to multiple profiles (think an artist label that updates profiles for all the bands on their roster). This type of user is called a "Power User", and just like most everything, this is configured in the Quotas.

If you have any questions let us know - Jamroom is really flexible when it comes to user accounts, user profiles and quotas - you can mix and match them and combine them in a lot of different ways.

Hope this helps!

frustrating issues with site/marketplace

Installation and Configuration

Checkout my follow up on the other thread:

https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/forum/questions-about-jamroom/15735/istall-questions

Once logged in you should never see this, so I'm suspecting you have some tabs that are non-SSL - change those over to SSL and you will be logged in.

Hope this helps!
