Jamroom needs simpler css

Using Jamroom


The current way it works is the "dummy proof" version. The "real" way is to edit the CSS files directly. If you simply use the "style" tab to make your changes, it really doesn't get any easier than that:

1) You don't need to know color codes - just click the color to pop up a color selector
2) you don't need to know what values are correct for a section - the drop down selects show you your choices.

The only thing easier would be to get someone else to do it for you - if you find the current setup too confusing, then you might consider having someone help you out. I can't think of a way to make it simpler - any simpler and it's just not going to work.

Then don't change anything and be happy with it. Jamroom has A LOT of different areas and functionality, many of them requiring their own CSS classes and IDs. If you want to customize these, then you will need to understand it.

This is like saying I want to produce my own mixes, but I don't want to be bothered to learn how to mix or understand the board.

Just leave things as they are and be OK with it, or take the time to go through the different CSS sections and modify it to suit your needs.

Stats for site visits

Design and Skin Customization

Jamroom doesn't really track total site visits - it does have profile stats (i.e. number of items, etc.) but if you're trying to get visitor stats I'd recommend an analytic package like Google Analytics:

Hope this helps!

Article Images not showing

I'll let Paul follow up on this as he knows the intricacies of the JR4 -> JR5 import module.

I can't embed media in newsletters

Using Jamroom


No - you cannot embed media into email as far as I know. the HTML5 audio/video tags are not going to work, nor is flash - it presents too much of a potential security issue to allow objects to execute in the email client.

Tiny MCE Smileys and a dark template

Installation and Configuration

Looks like we need to disable the default smilies in TinyMCE and have it work with our smilies module - I'll get a ticket open on that.

Thanks!

rebase - resulted in Blank pages across site

Using Jamroom


The difference however should be a simple refresh works. The only place you might still see a blank screen is AFTER running the tool, if you click on the "ACP" link, or other link instead of hitting a template based view first.

Hope this helps!

Ooops Backups

Using Jamroom


No that's me

The problem is that the daily maintenance is never completing - if you look in your activity log you will see entries for it starting, but you never get a completion. It appears that there is a triggered event that is causing the listener to run out of memory:


That's coming from a serialization line to generate a unique key for the event - it makes me think there is a recursive issue here. I've got a small change in for it on your system, so let's see how it goes tonight - hopefully it fixes it.

Hope this helps!

How to get audio to play at facebook via share this

Using Jamroom


Glad to see it's working

It looks like what FB is saying is that we should provide an "og:description" tag to explicitly give a description for the page. There's no "description" field however in an audio item (at least by default), so I would just let FB continue to get it on it's own.

Alternately, you could create a custom form field for audio update that is called "audio_description", and add it in as an og:descrption field in the Audio Support -> Templates -> jrAudio_facebook_open_graph.tpl file.

Hope this helps!

How to get audio to play at facebook via share this

The only issue I see is one about the description:

but that should not keep it from playing. I see you have some other, embedded facebook javascript on the same page - I wonder if that is causing an issue.

Here's the debug for my test share that works:
