How To Play a list of songs the user has LIKEd?


Design and Skin Customization

Ekwe::) Nicenesssssss! Genius! Just saw it, so how do I get what a specific user now likes? Should I just put in the $profile_id variable in it ?

add:

search1="_user_id = #"

Where # is the user's ID.

Hope this helps!

New and Free "Strong Password" module


Announcements

I have just updated the Marketplace with a new, free module - Strong Password:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/158/strong-password

Strong Password allows you to easily create a password policy for your Jamroom site using any combination of password length, uppercase letters, lowercase letter, symbols and numbers.

If you're a Jamroom VIP subscriber you can download the new module immediately from your Marketplace - if you're not a subscriber, for only $29 per year you can get early access to all new releases:

https://www.jamroom.net/subscribe

We hope you enjoy the new release - let us know if you have any feedback or questions.

Thanks!

Error Installing Solo Artist Bundle


Design and Skin Customization

Lynnbird:Ok...I have decided to use the Droplet as a webworking learning tool. At $10/mo it is surely worth keeping for that purpose. I've gone with Arivxe, and we will see how that goes. And you have gotten another referral commision, Brian et al.

The end result with going with a DO droplet will be a super fast and robust system - while it will take a little more time to setup, in the long run you'll be happy.

Let us know if you run into any issues.

Hope this helps!

I should add that if you've not cloned the Media Pro 5 Light skin yet, make sure and install the free Developer Tools module - it has the "clone skin" tool in it which is what you want to use to create your own customized version.

Hope this helps!

gary.moncrieff:Yes I own seamless but editing the modules templates have me worried about updates which happen quite regularly.

If the hooks were prebuilt in it would leave this much easier, albeit not everyone would want it.

Sounds like you might be handling the template updates incorrectly. JR5 has been designed to allow you to customize the templates without worrying about them being overwritten. Make sure you have:

1) Cloned the JR5 skin that you want to customize (say jrElastic)

2) to customize a module template (for example let's say module/jrAudio/templates/item_list.tpl) you create a NEW template in the skins/yourClioneDirectory called:

jrAudio_item_list.tpl

customize that new template to suit your needs. The Jamroom Core will see your new template when it attempts to use the audio item_list module, and use your custom version instead.

You can then upgrade whenever you want and not have to worry that an update to the audio module overwrites your template.

The Core provides comparison tools (in the template editor) so after a module is updated you can "compare" the new updated template and see if any of the changes need to be brought over in to your custom template.

Once you see how that works it's pretty easy and really convenient to completely customizing anything you want, and never have to worry about staying up to date with modules.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Yeah Seamless should be a good choice here - it would take a bit of tweaking the module templates, but you can "blend together" the results of 2 or more modules into a single listing.

Search Error On All Fields For Modules


Installation and Configuration

Thanks Michael - sorry I should have included that in my initial response - it actually slipped my mind that for security reasons you need to configure in the search module as well.

Thanks!
