Nova Skin - Gallery Lightbox not resizing to browser window


Design and Skin Customization

MAD©:Just wondering why you used a lightbox2 clone that is almost 6 years old?

Most lightbox like fancybox and slimbox autoresize to fit the view portal.

Is the lightbox clone easy enough to override as it is outdated now and no matter what images our users upload for their galleries we still want them viewable without scrolling.

I have used a few lightboxes on many sites in the last 3 years and never had this problem.

Even lightbox2 has the ability to keep the viewport in perspective.

But as this isn't lightbox2 but a jquery plugin that was inspired by lightbox2 in 2008, lightbox2 has had many updates since then ( latest only 4 hours ago, I checked on github )

I hear you - most of the new lightbox scripts are just very heavyweight and require more extensive "setup" than the version of lightbox we use (which can be enabled with simply a class). It worked well in JR4 so we stuck with it for JR5.

If you have suggestions for a better light box I can check it out.

Thanks!

Members VS Artist


Using Jamroom

jcoppage:What's the difference between and Member and an Artist.

How do you edit/add Members?

Can Members join on their own like Artists?

Can Artist delete their own account?

The difference is up to you. Jamroom 5 just has profiles. You create your own differences (if you want) by modifying the features associated with the quotas in your system. So you could create 2 quotas:

- "artist quota" - this quota has access to all modules and features
- "member quota" - this quota has limited access to specific features

If you are thinking of Jamroom 4, Jamroom 5 no longer features a distinction between "members" and "artists" - that distinction now is simply defined by the feature set in each quota.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Editing Menu


Using Jamroom

No - you actually want to use Smarty comments (not HTML comments) - i.e.

{*
<b> This HTML is commented out</b>
*}
<b>This HTML is NOT commented out</b>

Let me know if that helps.

Tag Creation @ item create/update form


Suggestions

iLoveHouseMusic:@brian - So, a person that does not own the content item, can tag it? What if a user is abusing that and tagging whack terms on other people's items?

That's correct - If you are worried that people will abuse the tags, make sure the "Allowed to Add Tags" quota setting is checked only for users in a quota you trust (maybe reviewers, admins, etc).

Hope this helps!

Nova Skin - Gallery Lightbox not resizing to browser window


Design and Skin Customization

Lightbox does not resize - it's all based on the size/aspect ratio of the image.

Sorry!

Why is "Simple Custom Forms" showing on my system updates?


Using Jamroom

You just need to remove the app from your system.

Hope this helps!

Using Jamroom

You must have it installed, or have the directory. Look in your modules directory for a "jrCustomForm" directory. If you do not have a license for it, it will show "purchase license". Note that it does not stop you from updating other modules, so you can still run the update feature.

Tag Creation @ item create/update form


Suggestions

It sounds like what you want is a keywords setup more than tags - you should be able to do this by adding a custom form field on the create/update form, then only item owners could create/update "tags".

The current tag module is really designed to enhance the discovery of items on a site by allowing users to tag items with keywords that can help them show up in a search better.

Hope this helps!

Facebook - Not Running SSL


Installation and Configuration

MAD©:yeah just tested and the last one was probably cached at FB's end.
Didn't think to hit the FB Developer Debug which clears it
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
Anyway problem solved @brian.
So when we eventually get an ssl cert it automatically picks up we are running https right?
Cheers Mate!

Glad to see that is working - and yes - if you update to SSL, the module will "see" that the page is being access on SSL and the OG: tags in the header section will use https.

Hope this helps!
