Feature request - user approval

Genosis


No - that would not have been the update. I've just pushed out a large set of updates for the new Jamroom Core 5.2, which has all the updates in it that are going to be needed. In your marketplace -> system updates you should see updates for a number of modules after you update to the latest core.

Note that I've also pushed out an update to the Genosis skin - the Genosis skin was based on our "Elastic" skin, and (unfortunately) I did not update many of the language strings for use in Genosis - that's been done now though. To make sure you see the proper language strings, after updating, do this:

- click on "admin" in the header
- go to Users -> User Accounts -> Tools tab
- click on the "Reset Language Strings" tool
- select the "Genosis Family Skin" and reset the language strings
- Go to "admin" -> "reset caches" and reset the caches

That will update the language DB to the correct language strings. I apologize if you have customized them at all - this won't ever be needed again in the future, and it only happened due to my oversight in the initial release, so sorry about that.

Let me know if you see any issues.

Hope this helps!

Why would this not be possible?

Newsletter as PM

Suggestions


You would want to do something custom for the "send newsletter as PN" - PN's work different in JR5 than in JR4 - sending a newsletter to 10,000 users would require 10,000 copies of the newsletter be created and inserted into the PN system, which would be A LOT. There are also size restrictions on a PN (8k) that would be easy to go over, and HTML is not allowed (which makes securing the PN viewing much easier).

Sorry!

jrCore subdir issue - cannot copy cache files

Installation and Configuration


If the error is a "cannot copy to cache dir" error (like in your original post), then the root cause is the web user cannot copy from the module template directory into the cache directory - i.e.

jrCore/templates

to

data/cache/jrCore

I've installed JR5 hundreds of times and haven't seen anything else it would be unless you are running some type of custom setup that has unique permission setups.

Hope this helps!

jrCore subdir issue - cannot copy cache files

Installation and Configuration

This error usually comes out because the web user does NOT own the following directories:

data/cache
data/logs
data/media

so as root, go into the jamroom_dir/data and do:

chown -R www-data. *

(if www-data is your web user account).

I'd highly recommend a setup like I outline here (it's for Ubuntu 12.04 on DO but you can use it on your own server the same):

using Ruid2 means you don't have to worry about directory/file permissions.

Hope this helps!

Testing LAMP?

Jamroom Developers


No - it's no longer something we make or update - instead I'd recommend a $5 DO droplet:

You could also follow that guide to setup a local VM.

Hope this helps!

jrEmbed Appears To Underprivileged Users

Using Jamroom

I'll get a ticket open on this - basically it should work like:

- if they have jrEmbed quota access, show the embed button in the editor
- the tabs IN the embed section depend on quota access to those specific modules

Override icon sprites in skin

Jamroom Developers

Right on - glad to see that is working. Note that the way it is setup is that you can just override the icons you want to change, or even add new ones that will extend what the core has.

Hope this helps!
