Lessons and Articles


Using Jamroom

Jamroom is pretty flexible for setting your site up almost any way you want - from using Aparna to create new "clone" modules, to the Form Designer, you should be able to set as many categories on a profile as you would like. Is there something specific you've run into that makes you feel Jamroom wouldn't work for your setup?

Let me know and I can give you suggestions.

Hope this helps!

Override page_section_header.tpl


Jamroom Developers

Yeah it should require the jrCore_ prefix - not sure how it would work without, but I can check that out.

Thanks!

Couple Suggestions


Genosis

jamesd116:Hello Great Product here our family was using a site for this i will be starting it over ith this but heres some suggestions
1) I think tree shoud go to where chart is
2) with married and divorced couples in the family tree (chart) it should something differentiating whether currently married or divorced from that member
im sure i will have more input once i get a chance to get through mostly after i download and install it

Thanks for the feedback:

1) Do you just mean swapping the menu items at the top of the page?

2) The concept of the chart should show the generations that come from a marriage. For example, if a man has been married twice, in the chart if you click on the small magnifying glass you get a drop down that shows their spouse(s), children and siblings - if you were to click on the other spouse in that drop down, the chart would update and reflect the parents/grand parents if the new spouse.

Let me know if that helps at all on the second one, or if I misunderstood it.

Hope this helps!

Solo Artist Skin


Jamroom Developers

If you're asking if a profile can use a different skin than the site, that's not something that is supported - sorry!

Override page_section_header.tpl


Jamroom Developers

It should be called "jrCore_page_section_header.tpl" in your skin directory - that should work. It needs to know what module the template belongs to as well.

Hope this helps!

whats the html tag for audio and video (JR5)


Using Jamroom

It's not clear from the posts here how you've got this setup, but I'm going to guess that you added custom form fields to the "profile" module? I would not recommend setting it up that way (since you'll be restricted to a single audio/video per profile) but if that is the case, this should work:

{jrCore_media_player type="jrAudio_button" module="jrProfile" field="profile_audio" item=$item._profile_id image="small_button"}

But it depends on here you placing this call at. The above will work if you are placing it in a jrCore_list call for jrProfile.

If you are trying to add it directly to the profile (i.e. you are modifying one of the profile_* templates in your skin directory) it would be:

{jrCore_media_player type="jrAudio_button" module="jrProfile" field="profile_audio" item=$_profile_id image="small_button"}

Again though - if you are trying to add audio/video directly to the profile module (which gets stored in the profile datastore) you are going to be limited to 1 audio and 1 video file per profile, so I'd reconsider how you have that setup.

Hope this helps!

Just Released - Genosis


Announcements

blindmime:I've always thought that a family archive should place more emphasis on the people and stories, pictures and other related items as opposed to charts and dates. Kudos to you!

One thing I wonder when starting an archive like this is where to start the "tree". Does it matter in Gnosis? Is there a starting point or center or root person? Or is it essentially a collection of related profiles? I'd prefer the latter.

Then the question becomes what to call the website...

Yeah you can start "wherever" you want in the tree, although initially the only "profile" that will exist will be your own, so it's probably easiest to just start with yourself and work from there.

However, as the master admin you can always create a new tree, and it will ask you for the initial profile (ancestor) - just enter a name and a new tree will be created starting with that user. It's easy to then add parents/children however you like.

Hope this helps!

Question about "Create SSL URLs" in Profile Accounts


Using Jamroom

It's just for local URLs. So for example, if I try to put:

http://www.jamroom.net

in the forum here, for logged in users that will be converted to https: so they don't get directed over to the non SSL side. This really only matters for sites (like jamroom.net) that run both SSL and non-SSL at the same time.

It will not change YouTube URLs or any other "non local" URL.

Let me know if that helps.
