php error?

Using Jamroom

You can ignore this - it's a PHP warning and should not affect your site's functionality. The root cause is that there is a file that is NOT owned by the web user that it tried to "chmod" (change mode - i.e. change permissions on) and since the web user does not own the file, you will get this warning.

Hope this helps!

I frame still not working

Installation and Configuration

You definitely have some problems with your site - I'm not quote sure what to recommend. You might consider a reload of your site, or double checking that your hosting provider fully supports Jamroom 5.

Cloned skin naming issue

Using Jamroom


I understand - I hope you can understand why that may be the case though. The "title" is a field in the skin's meta function (which is in the include.php file). If the skin directory is "jrNova" and the skin is called "Nova", then you would think that we could just replace all instances of "Nova" with whatever your new skin is called. So if you named your skin "myNewSkin" we should be able to replace "Nova" with "NewSkin". Unfortunately it is not quite that simple, since there is no requirement that your developer prefix be only 2 characters, and so how do we know which substring of the directory name is the name of the skin?

This also doesn't account for a skin name that is NOT part of the directory name, or is different (i.e. "jrProJam" to "Pro Jam 5").

I hope the 30 seconds it would take to set your own title doesn't dissuade you from using the clone skin tool - it really is a big time time saver.

Hope this helps!

License usage

Using Jamroom


Right now you would need to click on "view licenses" for each site to see what licenses are on that site. Sorry!

OneAll - Thought I was going Mad

Using Jamroom


Yeah that's why I mentioned I would check out the error message... I'll be looking at it in the AM.

Thanks!

JR5 SEO

Using Jamroom


The meta.tpl is "included" in other templates, and so has access to the smarty variables available in the template it is included in. So on a profile page (for example) you can do something like:


Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Bit of an Oddity - Symbolic Links?

Using Jamroom

I don't think so - check the "ordering" of your screen - maybe all the symlinks are at the bottom, or you have a setting for your site that does not show symbolic links. I've logged in to your server, so I can assure you they are there

Bit of an Oddity - Symbolic Links?

Using Jamroom


You have tons of symbolic links on your main site (if by main site you mean your main JR site) - check out the modules directory and you'll see them. If you've ever used the Marketplace, you'll have symbolic links.

Hope this helps!

Profile URL vs. Profile Display Name

Suggestions

Douglas is correct - you always want to use $profile_url - not $profile_name.

Cloned skin naming issue

Using Jamroom

This is a bit tricky, since there is no guarantee that the "title" is going to even contain the name of the skin. The title is there fir descriptive purposes (it shows to the master admin in the skins list in the ACP).

Your best bet is to simply change it in the include.php file.

Hope this helps!
