adding a featured playlist to profiles
Ning To Jamroom

this tip took me a long time to work out
it took 3 of the 4 jr developers to add lil clues and get me close
in the end i discovered it was not much more then a type that neededto be fixed the diference between $_items and $item

anyway heres what u do
edit the playlist modification form add playlist_featured
edit the profile modification form add profile_showplaylist

edit the profile_sidebar.tpl
at the very bottom of the template find the last 2 closing divs </div> </div> (they are not on the same line just look for the last 2 in the file)
just before those closing divs add
{if $profile_showplaylist == on}
{jrCore_list module="jrPlaylist" search1="playlist_featured = on" search2="_profile_id = `$_profile_id`" template="my_profile_playlist_embed.tpl" limit="1"}
{/if}
this will check if profile_showfeatured is on if so calls the embed template wich you create

my_profile_playlist_embed.tpl

{if isset($_items)}
{foreach from=$_items item="item"}
{jrPlaylist_util mode="embed_playlist" playlist_id=$item._item_id template="my_profile_playlist.tpl"}
{/foreach}
{/if}

pretty sure thats where douglas made a mistake
then
my_profile_playlist.tpl
{jrCore_media_player type="jrPlaylist_player_dark" module="jrPlaylist" item=$item}

and thats it create a playlist
mark it featured
edit profile check show playlist
and thats it

it was worth the effort

u can add code to autoplay but since it would be on all forum posts blogs photo details etc i wouldnt recomend it

and thats what i answered
the jr performance test is a measure of pure cpu disk and db access speeds without any consideration for cache
and network speed is not measured or accounted for however load on the network affects the score as the more work the cpu disk and database is doing at the time the more it affects the score outcome so it is best tested at low trafic times

i dont think that qualifies as random advice just a detailed complete answer

ok thats what i thought i guess i was using cpanel as a generic not brand name term

so we were both right just you were more technically right

ive used multiple options im just starting to get more comfortable with command line when the cpannel (or plesk or whatever other options) just wont do what ya need it to do

Thanks SE, but that wasn't what I asked.

were u asking about the performance test in jr? if so that measures pure cpu db and disk access and db is uncached it bipasses cache

if u mean that other test then yes network is vvery much involved

To compare, here is my current Ning site:

hmm that might not be the most accurate test site haha i found it by searchijng 'accurate sirte speed test" cause although my site loads in 1 second many tests that want u to sign up for something say 17 seconds wich is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off

this test seems to only download 100k no matter the site size

i usualy use webwait.com to test how it performs within my browser and connection but thats been down for a few days

well if you mean like alternate options like plesk whm etc but in the absence of any form of control panel access isnt ssh command line the only option
i could be wrong

high server loads using disk processor memory and db access will affect the score though since trafics competing for resourses with the performance test

purely processor disk database and database is uncached pure db access so any caching options have no affect on the score

my host advertises "impressive support" and they come through with that claim but still i have to jump in and tweak things myself pretty much daily so far
there will be a point at wich it shouldnt need alot of attention but for now it does

im also installing a search engine server ive tried a couple diferent options i think i found the 1 i am going to go with ..but its the most technically advanced option (self hosted 0open source) anything that offered 10% what this offeres costed 50 grand a year

so this is something i need to access the root to install '

and i dont think installing any special modules or extentions let alone a search engine is an option on a jamroom only server
