Update On Custom Metatags


Design and Skin Customization

Hi Starone
Its actually been done in the new version of site builder
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/my_posts/30227/problem-using-the-meta-tag-manager

I am having a small issue i think may be a bug- but it really works great for adding to individual pages IF they are made in the NEW site builder...

I am really happy with it

How To Customize The File Download Module?


Design and Skin Customization

I just purchased the file download module and wondering if there is a way to change its default behavior?

By default it adds some really cool looking icons to the page where I add the files (see screenshot)

BUT to download these files you have to click on it- then it takes you to a file download page where you have to find the "download arrow" to start the download...

I want to be able to click the icons in the screenshot and have the downloads start directly from that page..

I know I can take a screenshot of each of the file icons and information...add them to the page ( remove the embed file code) then link these images directly to the download url....but I was hoping there was a way that made more sense..

So what i am after is to embed these files on a page BUT have the download start directly from theirs links on that specific page and NOT have to go to a new page and find the download arrow icon to download

Problem Using The Meta Tag Manager


Using Jamroom

Yes the if/else is still there and intact. I actually did not remove anything from the meta.tpl- I just added the following just above the if/else

  <!--FaceBook-->
<meta property="og:locale" content="en_US" />  
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Roughneck City"/>
<meta property="article:author" content="https://www.facebook.com/DrillingAhead" />
<meta property="article:publisher" content="https://www.facebook.com/DrillingAhead" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="391700477700596" />

Here is the entire meta.tpl

<!doctype html>
<html lang="{jrCore_lang module="_settings" id="lang" default="en"}" dir="{jrCore_lang module="_settings" id="direction" default="ltr"}">
<head>{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="1" assign="default_title"}
<title>{$page_title|default:"`$default_title`"|capitalize} | {$_conf.jrCore_system_name}</title>
<script>
{* This is to make widgets drag-n-droppable on an iPad combined with ios-drag-drop.js *}
var iosDragDropShim = { enableEnterLeave: true }
</script>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />



<script type="text/javascript" src="/java/FWDEAP.js"></script> 

  <!--FaceBook-->
<meta property="og:locale" content="en_US" />  
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Roughneck City"/>
<meta property="article:author" content="https://www.facebook.com/DrillingAhead" />
<meta property="article:publisher" content="https://www.facebook.com/DrillingAhead" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="391700477700596" />
 
{if isset($meta)}
{foreach from=$meta key="mname" item="mvalue"}
<meta name="{$mname}" content="{$mvalue}" />
{/foreach}
{/if}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{jrCore_server_protocol}://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400italic,600italic,700italic,300,400,600,700" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{jrCore_css_src}" media="screen" />
{if isset($css_href)}
{foreach from=$css_href item="_css"}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{$_css.source}" media="{$_css.media|default:"screen"}" />
{/foreach}
{/if}
{if isset($css_embed)}
<style type="text/css">
{$css_embed}</style>
{/if}
{if isset($javascript_embed)}
<script type="text/javascript">
{$javascript_embed}</script>
{/if}
<script type="text/javascript" src="{jrCore_javascript_src}"></script>
{if isset($javascript_href)}
{foreach from=$javascript_href item="_js"}
<script type="{$_js.type|default:"text/javascript"}" src="{$_js.source}"></script>
{/foreach}
{/if}
{if isset($javascript_ready_function)}
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
{$javascript_ready_function}return true;
});
</script>
{/if}
 
</head>

Again whats happening is I add maybe 2 pages of meta tags using the meta tag manager- THEN added the facebook meta tags to the above template and saved THEN when I went back into the meta tag manager ALL the meta tags I previously added were gone.. IE the data in meta tag manager is blank now...

Problem Using The Meta Tag Manager


Using Jamroom

Just found what I think may be a bug...

The "bug" seems to be that all custom meta tags added with the meta tag manager are erased if you make a change to the meta.tpl code later



I started adding all the following meta tags using the Meta Tag manager to individual products

Here is an example:


1<meta property="og:title" content="" />
2<meta property="og:url" content="" />
3<meta property="og:description" content="" />
4<meta property="og:image" content="" />

5<meta property="og:locale" content="en_US" />  
6<meta property="article:author" content="" />
7<meta property="article:publisher" content="" />
8<meta property="og:site_name" content=""/>


After doing a few products I realized i could cut my time in half if I added 5-8 in my sites meta.tpl becausae its the same for every page of the site

So I added the tags to the meta.tpl then added them directly using FTP to avoid problems with using the template override feature...

Anyway 5-8 are now present in page source code on all pages BUT all the custom tags I added per page (1-4) are now gone...it seems making a change to the meta.tpl file erases all the custom tags that were added in the Meta tag Manager..

I am about to start adding them back now- but I am worried if I make an edit in the future to the meta.tpl file it will erase ALL the custom tags I have added....Pls check on this when you have time

Thanks!

Modern Responsive design examples


Ning To Jamroom

The templates remind me of Ning 2.0-which has forced me to experiment with stuff like bootstrap...currently I am building ( actually rebuilding) one of my sites which is not a social member based network) on a Slate skin...I have a few challenges left but I am really happy with the results so far.
I am doing it this way because I like the idea of having a CMS that allows me to host my own music/videos etc on my site
I have installed at least 8 other platforms on my server to test and kept coming back to jamroom because of the increased functionality- although more difficult to work in

Using Jamroom

Facebook recently changed their API to v 2.3 which
has some major changes and may require you to build a new app- this happened around the same time Youtube did theirs= more info at facebook developer tools
