Error messages
Design and Skin Customization

andersda:What is the reasoning for that? What is the alternative if there is a problem submitting a form?

I'm not sure what you mean - if there is a problem submitting the form (i.e. one of the values is incorrect) then a nice error message is shown. If the server is actually down for some reason, then right now it is an alert message, but long term any alerts will be transition to in-page error messages that look the same as any other error message.

This is done for UI consistency and user experience.

Let me know that helps.

Thanks!

Error messages
Design and Skin Customization

andersda:Is there a way to have messages pop up (alerts) instead of appearing at the top of the page?

You would have to customize the core Javascript (as well as probably the individual module Javascript files) and customize the jrCoreFormSubmit() JS function - found in the modules/jrCore/js/jrCore.js.

The long term goal is actually the opposite - ensure there are NO alerts any where in the code, so just an FYI that long term we'll be moving away from alerts.

Profiles
Design and Skin Customization

Yeah if it was me I'd separate the individual profile side bars into individual template files - i.e.:

{if is_file("`$jamroom_dir`/skins/YourSkin/sidebar_`$profile_quota_id`.tpl"}
    {jrCore_include template="sidebar_`$profile_quota_id`.tpl"}
{else}
    {jrCore_include template="sidebar_default.tpl"}
{/if}

This would never need to be changed, and to add a new custom sidebar for a profile_quota_id you just add the new template - i.e.

skins/YourSkin/sidebar_5.tpl

Make sure you have a default:

skins/YourSkin/sidebar_default.tpl

And that will be the sidebar for any quota that does not have a custom template.

Hope this helps!

How Long Should The Integrity Check Take?
Using Jamroom

Lynnbird:Looks like the browser itself froze as there are neither debug or PHP errors listed in appropriate section.

Try running it again and see if it works - if it hangs, it's usually due to a PHP error of some kind, which will show up in the "PHP Error Log" section of the site activity logs.

Hope this helps!

Uploding files on IOS
Jamroom Developers

Yes this is an iOS limitation. There's no "general purpose" file system on iOS, so the iOS would have to have specific support for audio uploading.

Feature updates (s3), HA
Jamroom Developers

Right now S3 work is not progressing, and likely won't be for the foreseeable future - there has been almost no demand for it, and it is a lot of work to create it. I do have an S3 module that is full working with Images however - just not audio and video. If you have a developer working for you I can send you what I have and you can check it out to expand to meet your specific use case.

One thing that will be coming shortly is a dedicated conversion server - that is actually already completed and in testing - this will allow you to offload your media conversion to a separate server.

And for scaling, JR5 should work at this time - the only issue is the file system, so you would need to create a GlusterFS or NFS mount that allows your file system to be mounted across multiple servers.

Hope this helps!

Creating a New Person
Genosis

I have this fixed for the next Genosis Core release - root cause was actually the Profile URL was not including the profile id on the URL, so it would find the "New Person" from your earliest "new tree" and switch to that instead.

I will try to get a new Core release out tomorrow morning - I'm still in the middle of changes for this ticket:

http://www.genosisfamily.com/tracker/778/get-hard-coded-english-strings-into-the-language-file

so don't have it ready for release yet, and I'm going to be out of the office for the rest of the day today.

For now, if you go in and Modify the "New Person" and change their profile name one at a time for your new trees, it should work properly (i.e. when you click on the New Person it will take you first to the oldest "New Person" - modify it, save, then go back to your newest tree and click on 'New Person' again, modify, save, and so on and eventually you'll get to your newest tree and then each "New Person" now has a unique URL).

Hope this helps!

Creating a New Person
Genosis

OK got it. So when you create a new tree, it creates a "New Person" for you by default. You can click on that user and modify them, and think of them as the "starting point" in your new tree (like the "home" person on Ancestry.com if you are familiar with that).

I just tested this here, and it looks like the issue is related to the "researcher only" option - so there's a bug there and I will get it fixed.

Thanks!

Question about modify person
Genosis

Just an update that I made good progress on this so far - I just have to work out how to properly handle month names in the Timeline, and should have these updates out for you early this coming week.

Hope this helps!
