Redundancy and failover

Installation and Configuration


Yeah - that's the goal with S3 support is move the media storage off to S3, then all the front ends have access to the same "file system".

Hope this helps!

Media storage and caching

Jamroom Developers

I've done this many times as well, but thanks for the primer. I would not release a module for JR that required the user to "manually" do anything, which is why I'm not working on it right now - that's more involved then needs to be at this time.

No ETA on the S3 module - hopefully sometime soon but I don't want to give you a date and then tell you it can't be done because I ran into a road block.

Sorry!

Advanced charts

Jamroom Developers

Your module must use a datastore for the Advanced Charts module to support it - this error means your module is not using a DS - your developer should be able to fix that for you.

Hope this helps!

Media storage and caching

Jamroom Developers


I'm not sure why you think it is just a simple rewrite of URLs.

1) When JS and CSS are rebuilt how to do they get uploaded to S3 to be made available to the CDN?
2) Once uploaded, we have to tell the CDN that a change has been made (i.e. refresh)
3) same applies for any skin or custom image

This is not going to be supported any time soon - you would want to do something custom if this is a requirement of yours. The only work I am currently working on regards to S3 is media storage only.

Sorry!

Media storage and caching

That was my original goal - the 5.2 work took longer than expected, so that's going to be tight - I am working on it, but am running into some issues getting some things to work, so I don't want to guarantee anything until I know for sure it will be released, but work continues.

Thanks!

Everything would work except file uploads - those would be stored on the server uploaded to.

System Tips Modification

Suggestions

I don't doubt you - I've not heard really any requests for something like this over the years beyond the "just make everything easier", but I know it certainly couldn't hurt.

The problem here is that to get it from where it is now (100% developer controlled) to being released as a module that the site owner can utilize, is a lot of work. It needs to be multilingual, it needs to have some way of helping the site owner figure out "where" to attach the tip (it uses jQuery selectors - something 98% of our customers know nothing about, and that's going to be hard at best), as well as a "tip manager" for creating, editing and deleting tips from the system.

So it's doable, it's just not going to happen soon. Here's the tips that the JR module uses:

you can add those in to your templates as needed - no need to even use the module.

Hope this helps!

System Tips Modification

Unfortunately not really - making this so it is 100% customizable for tips by the end user, to display to quotas/groups/whatever will make the module 5x its size right now. Something we may do down the road, but likely not at this time.

Sorry!

Setting Audio Album Price

Using Jamroom


It requires the FoxyCart bundle module. Without that, the price field you see is NOT the album price, but the price for each song. With the foxycart bundle module you will see 2 price fields - one for the album, one for individual tracks (and you can set specific items to "bundle only" so you can include bonus content in the album only for example).

Hope this helps!

Convert mp3 to 128 kbps for onsite player but allow original 256 kbps for download and sale

Using Jamroom


Yes - if the item is not for sale, the direct download link will download the original.

Hope this helps!
