custom signup using email address only
Design and Skin Customization

Just to add that the main reason we want to get a username is that it is used for the user's profile URL, and gives them a chance to have a meaningful one. If you go with just an email, the resulting URL derived from just the email address is likely going to be longer and not what the user would want.

99.9% of internet users understand what a user/profile name is (both twitter and facebook use them) so if you're wanting to hide it because you feel it is confusing to users, then I would not worry (but of course that's my 2 cents).

How to change back to 4 color text on media pro light
Design and Skin Customization

Go into Marketplace -> Tools -> Release Archive and press the "Restore" button to the right of the Media Pro Light skin - this will revert you back to that previous version. Run an integrity check and delete caches.

Then, make sure and read this post I made here:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/suggestions/11853/skin-updates

so you do not run in to this situation again.

We decided the Media Pro skins were using way too many different link and heading colors (I believe about a dozen) so we scaled those back. By following my steps I linked in that other post you won't have to worry about it.

Hope this helps!

You can just add the img HTML code if you want - i.e.

<img src="http://yoursite.com/skins/SkinName/img/img.jpg">

Hope this helps!

Installing the Proxima Beta
Installation and Configuration

Installing the Proxima modules and skin is really easy - you should see the Proxima bundle available in your Marketplace - simply install the bundle and set your active skin to "Proxima Alpha".

The Proxima Alpha skin has been designed specifically for app developers to "sell" their product, with an easy to configure and use skin + quick links to Proxima modules.

Let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks!

Proxima Alpha
Installation and Configuration

A real quick post now that we have a couple alpha users that Proxima is something I'm still working on, and will be tweaking and adding things to a lot over the next few weeks.

I know there's no docs at this time, and it may not be clear what Proxima actually IS, but think of Proxima as a "backend" server that only responds in JSON - it is meant to be "talked to" by a client (mobile, PHP, etc.).

I'm working on a PHP and JS client for Proxima, so will be releasing those soon.

Let me know if there are any questions or issues.

Thanks!

Google analytics problem
Installation and Configuration

Sounds like your skin might be missing some of the javascript sections in the footer where GA would load - make sure you have this:

{if isset($css_footer_href)}
    {foreach from=$css_footer_href item="_css"}
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="{$_css.source}" media="{$_css.media|default:"screen"}"/>
    {/foreach}
{/if}
{if isset($javascript_footer_href)}
    {foreach from=$javascript_footer_href item="_js"}
        <script type="{$_js.type|default:"text/javascript"}" src="{$_js.source}"></script>
    {/foreach}
{/if}
{if isset($javascript_footer_function)}
    <script type="text/javascript">
        {$javascript_footer_function}
    </script>
{/if}

in your skin footer.tpl file.

Hope this helps!

New Genosis Updates
Genosis

I just pushed out a new set of changes that have some nice new features in them:

1) When creating a Census, Residence, Immigration or Location event you will now be able to check the additional profiles you'd like to copy the new event into. This really saves time when you're entering census information for a family and want the same "Residence" event on each of the profiles that is on the census (for example).

2) When creating a new source from a FamilySearch URL that has an attached image, the image will now be automatically downloaded and attached to the new source for you, saving you the additional steps of manually having to do that.

3) There is a new "Death Date" order by button when viewing All Ancestors.

4) The "Research" page has been updated so the "latest research notes" section can now be scrolled in place to view the last 50 research notes (instead of only being able to view the last 6).

5) You can now move a profile (and optionally all ancestors descending from that profile) to a different tree - this can be done in the "modify profile" section by clicking on the "Move To Another Tree" button.

Plus there's quite a few little tweaks and enhancements in other places as well - getting things working really smooth.

Let me know if anyone sees any issues, otherwise I hope you enjoy the updates!

Thanks!

Hook for server update.
Jamroom Developers

I had a bug fix in the Marketplace that needed to go out today, so I also added in 4 new event triggers:

installed_module
installed_skin
updated_module
updated_skin

You can key off of those events for your custom stuff you want to do.

Hope this helps!
