profile questions not showing since update


Design and Skin Customization

You mean the new "Ninja" skin? or the old Ningja skin (with a "g" in it)?

Do you mean the imported Ning profile questions?- or all profile questions including newer ones?

Jamroom 6 Upgrade Guide


Announcements

michael:
Probably what I would do if i had a jrAction_item_list.tpl file in my skin would be to change its name to xxxxxxjrAction_item_list.tpl which would turn it off as an override for /modules/jrAction/templates/item_list.tpl
That would allow the modules default one to fall through. If that fixes the issues, I would copy that to
/skins/(MY SKIN)/jrAction_item_list.tpl
So that I am running on the same version as the module, but overridden, then make the changes I want in that file.

Michael, in my CUSTOM skin, I don't have a template called jrAction_item_list.
I do however have a template called : jrAction_item_index.tpl
And also I have a template simply called : item_list.tpl

Do you suggest doing the above renaming with xxxx on my custom skin's jrAction_item_index.tpl ?- or do you think that would be unnecessary since it's not actually jrAction_item_list.tpl ? (it's "_index" rather than "_list")

Ok... I 'sort of' understand 'some' of what you are saying. <:-\
I just posted a screenshot in a related thread here, of what I 'think' was altered in my custom skin's jrAction_item_list.tpl to override my jrAction template.

It looks like I should do this 5 to 6 on a clone dummy site, which means I should first switch to a larger domain on the day I want to do this....and do a test run on the dummy site.

Sorry I'm bushed- it's 1am gotta go to bed- thanks for your help Michael!

JR5 to JR6 Ningja Latest activity "array" issue


Using Jamroom

What about the ningja vs Ninja skin stuff? do I simply download the new ninja skin from marketplace and apply new updates to it from now on and comparing... while still keeping my current (ningja based) custom skin?
----------------------
"Then go look for what is broken. Probably only Timeline related stuff if you have any custom {jrCore module="jrAction" template="??????"} calls.
If you do have those, the template= will need to be removed or updated."

Do you mean jrAction template differences I might have made in my CUSTOM SKIN vs Ningja skin, ...like in this screen shot?:

"7) IF you have customizes the jrAction "item_list.tpl" file, or any of the module item_action.tpl files"

-that's the part i'm not clear on. I know how to use the Compare tool and bring in changes. But... can you please clarify the above words to help me know where/what I am supposed to be looking?- in my custom skin? in the jrAction module? In other modules?

If you use a custom skin, and if you have a template in your custom skin called "jrGroup_item_detail.tpl", then you can just change it in there and save. Change the "limit=10" part to a different number. Save the change, active checkbox, and reset cache. Worked for me. :)

Simple Chat Jamroom 6 - Audible Notification


Using Jamroom

Johnny Depp wants to chat with me? lolol...

So does this pop up every time any member posts a new chat message, IF one is logged onto the chat? Or does it only happen if a member 'pages' me on chat?

Thanks... :)

Create An Event


Using Jamroom

jffgldr:
Hmmm. Tried all of the above and still do not see an option to add an event.

It was showing along the top tabs in your screenshot, to the right of Groups tab. When the screen gets shrunk smaller or vertical, the Events tab (and possibly other tabs) drop down under the "MORE" menu to save space.

Simple Chat Jamroom 6 - Audible Notification


Using Jamroom

" if a user posts a new message in chat they will see a desktop notification that a new message has been posted. While it doesn't play a sound, it does work well to let you know that there are new items in the chat. "

Can someone post a screenshot of such a 'desktop notification', so i can get a better idea of what that means?
Thanks!

JR5 to JR6 Ningja Latest activity "array" issue


Using Jamroom

I'm a little confused.
My current active CUSTOM skin which was built 18 months ago from the original Ningja skin... is the skin I want to KEEP because I've made a WHOLE LOT of custom changes to it...like over 100 customizations I imagine.

So first I would update my Core to v6, then I imagine all the module updates would then appear in my system update list....like a gazillion modules to update one by one.
I assume the Ningja skin will NOT be among those updates to apply- because your'e switching instead to the Ninja skin...so technically I'd not be 'updating' the new Ninja skin- just installing it new from the marketplace, right?

But which things should I do FIRST, in what sequence?- first update the Core to 6, then the gazillion modules?- then last of all install the first version of Ninja,
and finally do the
"The change is to locate this line around line 387 ish of index.tpl
ACP -> SKINS -> NINGJA -> TEMPLATES -> index.tpl -> MODIFY ...and change it to this...."
- but I should do that on my current CUSTOM skin that I want to keep, right?

At which point(s) am I supposed to do integrity checks during this sequence of things?

Do I need to do any OTHER changes to my current custom skin besides this Array tweak in its index.tpl ?
Wasn't there something else about the index Activity Feed as well? I would go over the short 5-to-6 'guide' you guys posted a few days ago. But I'm still kinda worried.

Do you still think it's advisable to increase my server size and temporarily and Clone my whole live site onto a temporary domain to test the process on the dummy clone site? Hmm...I'm envisioning a half day's work here...?
I do have another non-live site I've been building- I suppose I could update all the above THERE first to jr6, but I'm the only member on it so not sure it would reveal much when testing.
Ugh, change skeers me. =8-0 Any clarifications are welcome!
