Design and Skin Customization

Thanks Zach. I do have firewalls in place and some serious antivirus coverage. Like I said, my computer tested uninfected afterwards. Just suggesting that you be real careful about what 3rd party stuff you put on your site that promises to bring in money from clicking on it. Not sure if it helps, but the endless looping 'multiple new tab' sh*t started happening by the time i clicked around to the 'blogs' section of your site...that timing could be random or related.

Cometchat setup

Using Jamroom


Hmm...my situation is likely different from yours then. I got Cometchat before they had a jamroom module, so yes I had to set up a CC account at first. The CC control panel at that time was online outside of JR- not inside a JR module. So I used to have to log into the CC website to access controls or support.
Then they made the JR CC module, and I got them to make the necessary transition adjustments for me to using the newer CC JR version. They switched me over.
BUT- I found when I went to log into the CC admin panel in my JR CC module, that I had to fill in my login info from my original CC account, which I can actually no longer use online at "my.cometchat.com" anymore. That's what works for me.

Question- is the basic CC version paid THROUGH Jamroom?...meaning you don't need to create a CC account at all anymore?

Sounds like you need to contact CC support to get your proper login credential info or to ask them what to do. I think you normally file help tickets through your CC admin panel, which you can't access....so email the CC support at:
support(at)inscc.zendesk(dot)com
They are pretty good about responding and following through. But remember they are at work in India when people in the USA are asleep, so expect a time lapse in communicating.

Cometchat setup

Using Jamroom

While still logged into your JR site, you need to access your CC admin panel using your Cometchat account credentials (your Cometchat account username and password), NOT your JR login info. Are you doing that?

adding the third option to the BD backup/restore module

Using Jamroom

Wow, not only that, but you gave us choices for restoring either skins OR modules! That is terrific!!- I can envision sooo many critical times this could save peopel's butts without losing a day's worth of other content!

Could you possibly BE any more awesome ????

I think NOT!

adding the third option to the BD backup/restore module

Using Jamroom

I'm still hoping for this...makes real sense to 'complete' this module's functions. Sorry, the original thread was auto-closed, so here:

links in emails from Jamroom Support missing links now

Using Jamroom

Just to help compare notes-
I am still on jrForum 1.6.0 (have not updated to 1.6.1 yet) and it seems to be working fine for me- just got this email notif yesterday:
--------------------

A forum topic you are following has been updated:

user: Mr. Phil Mcdaniel
post: Image attachments now available in forum and comment posting.
view: http:...//email.fotmd.com/c/eJw9T0luwzAMfI19Y2A...etc etc URL, which does take me to the new post correctly.
------------------------------

So on 1.6.0 --as of July 31 until now-- I was getting the proper email links showing, and you were not, Ultrajam?

P.S. also- I'm getting the correct emailed links when being notified of new posts in GROUP Discussions as well...just got a couple now that work properly when I click them.

Oops...batch edit mistake. D'oh!!!

Using Jamroom

Thanks Brian for trying.
I'm afraid the Baritone Dulcimer Players Group you see there is the NEW empty one i created, with the same name. So it's not back.
When i checked the 'delete' box and hit Update, it completely removed the group from that Batch Edit page list altogether, so I could not have set it to 0 anyway. Here's the the thing- I'm pretty sure I remember setting the original group's comment number in the box to the number 0 (rather than having a blank box) before I did the delete+Update thing.
In any case, you set the NEW replacement group's comments to 0, which didn't effect the 'deleted' old group of course, and the new group doesn't have any comments yet anyway.
I did give the NEW group the exact same name as the old group. But you can see the 'new'Baritone group is item/group number 62...the most recent group created.

Oops...batch edit mistake. D'oh!!!

Using Jamroom

Well, to see if you can replicate- like i said in my screenshot above- I had the Baritone Dulcimer Group there showing on the left column of Group avatars, it had its comment count in it's comment count box there. I changed that number to ZERO, then I 'checkmarked' the Delete box in the right column. Then I clicked the page bottom's save/update button. There was a nag screen asking if I was 'sure' i wanted to delete, but I assumed it meant the comments. Looking back, I suspect the delete boxes on right are actually for deleting the entire Group?- which is what happened.
I should not have assumed, and yes I now realize the Batch Edit is probably not a great module for me to mess with until much later on- I thought it was more harmless and I was sooo sure that the page i was at was the right place to delete the comments off a comment wall. Group comment wall count?...delete/change numbers?..
It's clearly something I should NOT have done on a real live group first. Obviously i'd like to get that Baritone group back again, since it was 6 years old and had 178 members or so with lots of good info...but hey I'm thinking it's gone, it's beyond my reach anyway, and my members will just have to suffer my mistake.
I learned my lesson for sure. Just glad it was not one of my top ten groups! I started a brand new Baritone Group and they'll just have to start over. They haven't noticed just yet... d'OH! My moderators know, and I think they just silently raised their eyebrows at my dumb move. Or more likely they are discussing my 'brilliant' move behind my back.... lol

So... at the risk of getting you fed up...I'm curious...
when you say "This does not clear comments - this simply changed the "comment count" field to 0. Comments are stored on the User Comments module datastore."
....well so what actually HAPPENS when the comment count for that group gets changed to zero (or another number) and 'updated'?- and why would one want to do that in the first place? Sorry to pester you but I'd like to understand.
When Batch Edit module was introduced, it sounded like something real handy for me to use: https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/new_posts/25629/is-there-a-way-to-empty-the-activity-feed-cache/search_string=batch+edit
