Using Jamroom

What I'm looking at is a simple overwrite setup - basically whatever the user enters for audio title, genre, etc. - these are going to get written to the file. Other fields will simply be left as is.

There will be a function for you to write specific fields into the file (which is what I will use), so it would be easy at vault download time to have a small listener copy the file to a tmp location, add user identifiers in, then download that file instead (basically you would key off of the vault_download view). You wouldn't want to write that data to the "master" file, but to a temp file for each user.

I've looked at the tag writer and it seems pretty straightforward so I will get that added in.

Hope this helps!

FamilySearch should have something for you - they have records back to mid 17th century or so, and is a good (and free) place to start. Ideally start with your parents and grandparents and enter what you know of them (if you do) and work from there - most records pre-1940 are online now.

I'm happy to help with any research questions you might have - feel free to follow up on the Genosis forum.

Hope this helps!

And this does open up more issues - what if the audio file IS tagged correctly and the artist does not want their tags overwritten? If I code in a solution it will not handle that scenario - whatever gets coded will apply equally to all files (i.e. whatever gets put in as the title/album/artist is what gets written).

The most important thing to me is that any changes like this are not exposed to users - they need to work seamlessly and effortlessly, with no extra input from the user required.

If that sounds good, I will check it out - if you think you're going to need fine grained control over exactly what tags are written, which are not, for fields for asking the user which ones to write/not write, then you'd want to create something custom to suit your needs.

Thanks!

FoxyCart does not include the transaction fees in the results it returns to JR since X number of transactions are included with your subscription (either 100, 1000, etc.). Your fees are calculated up at the end of the month and billed to you as a separate item. So in this case, you can go into Payments -> Transactions and create a new transaction called "fees" and add it in as a line item there.

There is no need for workflow logic diagram, since you cannot "get into" the flow where ever you want. If you need to do something custom you are going to have to run off the transaction received event and handle it yourself (we already covered that previously).

I'm not really sure what else to tell you.

Thanks!

No ETA at this time. So far you're the first to ask for it No one seemed to care about it in JR4, so it's not something we did for JR5. I can check it out and see how hard it would be to add in - might be easy. I will let you know.

Thanks!

Since everything you are doing is custom, make sure going forward you post in the "Jamroom Developers" if you can - that will help us out.

The function you want is jrAudio_create_sample() in the jrAudio/include.php file - have a dev check that out and they will see how it works.

Thanks!

Separating pending payout money and store profits and reconciliation

The profit is going to be what is left in your bank account - JR does not track what you pay to FoxyCart monthly, or your merchant processor monthly - so to track that stuff I'd recommend bringing it into something like Quickbooks or whatever you will use for business items that are outside of Jamroom.

Hope this helps!

The sample is automatically created when a price is added to the audio item (look in your audio module -> global config to set the sample length).

Hope this helps!

Yeah that looks correct - if you leave off search2 does it return results?

Thanks!
