Javascript Cache Reset needed for Jamroom Core 5.1.24

Announcements

If after updated to Jamroom Core 5.1.24 the "submit" buttons on your site are no longer responsive, this is due to the upgrade of jQuery from 1.8.3 to 1.11.0 - you'll want to log in to your site via FTP (or SSH in) and delete the .js files in:

data/cache/ActiveSkin

so if your active skin directory is "jrElastic" you would delete all .js files in:

data/cache/jrElastic

Then refresh your site and you should be set.

Sorry for the hassle - we'll try to get the Marketplace updated so this won't be needed in the future if jQuery changes.

Hope this helps!

EDIT I've pushed up a small update that should let the jrCore update work properly now without needing this cache reset.

It depends on your level of expertise - I'd recommend something like Pair Networks:

for shared hosting, and Digital Ocean:

for do it yourself. You'll find a good DO guide for getting setup with JR here:

Hope this helps!

Gallery, or album listing bug?

Design and Skin Customization

Yes - there were updates to the Gallery templates in the last release - did you update to them?

I'm testing with ProJamLight here and am not seeing any issues with galleries using the same name from different profiles.

I think the "follow" a topic works well and is easy to understand. If no one has bothered to update a topic in 3 weeks then it's probably best that it be locked and a new topic be opened, since the situation may have changed.

Gallery, or album listing bug?

Design and Skin Customization


Yes - the core now supports the ability to "group by" more than 1 field, which is what is needed here. We're going to get updated skins out as well that have the small fix in it, but basically in your skins galleries.tpl file change the jrCore_list calls that have the group by set as this:


to this:


Let me know if that helps.

Glad to hear it - thanks!

Godaddy Installation

Jamroom Hosting

Yeah - Godaddy has a funky .htaccess setup - most like you are going to need to add the following to your .htaccess file:


put it right after the "RewriteEngine On" line.

Also - if that does not work, remove the "-ExecCGI" option from the "Options" line in the .htaccess file as well.

Give it a few mins too - Godaddy caches .htaccess files, so it may take 15 mins before your changes become available.

On a side note, if you're not heavily invested with Godaddy I would highly recommend alternate hosting - in the many years we've supported Jamroom they are one of the hosting providers our customers consistently have issues with (not just Jamroom too).

Hope this helps!

Yes - they are purposefully disabled here for non-subscribing members otherwise they will be used as a support channel, and we need all support requests to be either here on the forum, or via ticket.

As the forum owner you can always edit the topic (click on the modify button for the FIRST entry in the topic) and uncheck the "topic locked" option and save - that will re-open the topic.

You can also turn off auto-locking of topics in your forum settings.

We have it enabled here on our forum since this was a problem previously - having someone post an "update" to a 2 year old topic does not help much.

What we may need to do is update the daily maintenance listener and delete any "follows" on topics that are closed.

This should be fixed now in Aparna 1.0.4 - let me know if you see any issues.

Thanks!
