graph support docs


Using Jamroom

Yes Thanks UJ- there is this json- a txt and a csv all from URL

The json actually contains more data than the txt summary and I would prefer it( more is always better in my world)

Yes I used to do a bunch of Updates on Fridays when reports and rig count information for the week became available- did it for several years but have moved away from that

I am looking for way to make content update on my site when its updated on the Government site http://ir.eia.gov/ngs/ngs.html

I am thinking that is the reson the files are provided- just have to figure out to use them

You can see the files in the upper right of this page/chart

graph support docs


Using Jamroom

I was also looking for documents on this.
The government puts out a weekly natural gas storage report ( updates Thursdays)
They have this url of just the weekly raw data
http://ir.eia.gov/ngs/wngsr.txt
I can add it to my site using an iframe BUT I prefer to format it as a table or chart somehow which seems difficult if I use the iframe

I was wondering if this Graph Support Module might be the answer- the template seems to use some of the javasript that I am thinking would be needed to make this work- so just looking for docs to see IF it can be done using the module- then HOW

I want this set up somehow using their URL so I do not have to manually update the data each Thursday

Problem with Iframes is that this is an external URL...
Thanks

Adding anchor text to html


Design and Skin Customization

Did you try it like this?
   <a href="#">My Anchor Text</a>
(adding some identifier after the # ?)

I notice in the footer code that the
<a href="#">Page Top</a>

will take you from the bottom of the page back to the top so the # should work?

I a following you on this because its a bridge I will also have to cross soon-wish I could be more help

Site Builder widget editor problem


Using Jamroom

Its really pretty safe after you understand it- I am hoping we do not lose this functionality in the updated version

When you embedded in the WYSIWYG editor you were actually using the jrEmbed function which I think only works on a few items-Polls being one of them- they have to be embedded in the WYSIWUG editor- if you look at the code after it embeds you will see it uses
[jrEmbed...]  and not the {...} brackets..
when you see the square brackets you will know it was embeded using the WYSIWYG editor and that code WONT work in the CODE tab

Also a note- Michael has default settings on these widgets and they are set to back up nightly and it keeps 30 days worth of backups- you will notice these in the evenings when working and checking your activity log...its will say something like "site builder back up completed"...they are always there an available if you lose/break something

I think that
You can fly a kite and you can fly an airplane

* you have less control over the kite because you have fewer controls but its much easier to fly
* you have more control over an airplane because you have more controls-unfortunately they are complicated making it difficult to fly without training

The most successful Site Builder will be the version that provides the most functionality with the least demand for experience.

I think finding that happy medium is the hard part

template compare issue and email notice issue


Ning To Jamroom

I just use the words start and end to show the beginning and ending of each section of code in the template so if I go to a template to work and it contains code from 6 different features ie-buttons-search box-etc-I can easily find the part I want to work on...also helps me to determine if its the right template I am in...it would be a task to do this to all my templates at once- but I plan on doing it eah time I edit a template

template compare issue and email notice issue


Ning To Jamroom

It takes me awhile to catch on sometimes and just had one of those "duh" moments while search for stuff in templates...just realized I can add my own
  <!-- Start-This is a template I made named my_template.tpl -->
code code code
<!-- Start-This is where I edited the buttons code -->
code code blah blah
<!-- END-This is where I edited the buttons code -->
other stuff..........
<!-- END--This is a template I made named my_template.tpl -->

The defaults are already loaded-then I can add my own-even break the template code down into sections to understand better and easily find them...I may be the only one who did not know this...embarassed if I am...but wanted to share the revelation just in case

Site Builder widget editor problem


Using Jamroom

Think of it like this...
The 1st editor is WYSIWYG editor like all drag/drop style sites ( but allows some embedding with the embed tool)
Like most WYSIWYG editors there is also a place to switch to html code in the editor -usually that is located in a tab that looks like this
<html>
( ebays editor is like this- but in the jamrooms editor they omit the letters 'html" so the same button looks like this

< >
So if you look in the icons in the editor you will see it- if you click it -it will allow you to edit the html code in the WYSIWYG editor

Jamroom-because it also has smarty has a 3rd place to enter code- and its the one that is a tab written "CODE" in the widget

This third place accepts both html AND Smarty- This is where you will add your smarty code and html if you like

Example would be if you made a template and wanted to add it to the code in the widget you would use

<div class="panel panel-primary">
      <div class="panel-heading">
        <h3 class="panel-title"><span style="color: #ffffff;">Welcome To My Template</span></h3>
      </div>
      <div class="panel-body">{jrCore_include template="MY TEMPLATENAME.tpl"}</div>

(notice I used both html and smarty here)

Important point-You can add HTML-SMARTY or a contamination of both here
You would add this using the CODE tab of the editor

So you have
*WYSIWYG
* tab-which is html side of the WYSIWYG
and
*CODE- where you add Smarty or html or a combination of both


NOW to confuse you further try to remember you can have totally different code in the WYSIWYG editor and the CODE editor... BUT only the one you save it as is the one that will be rendered. THE CODE YOU "DIDN"T" SAVE IT AS WILL STILL REMAIN THERE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE BUT WONT PUBLISH TO THE SITE

Many times I will use the WYSIWYG editor to add images and other items-THEN- I will go to the editor and copy the source html of what is in the WYSIWYG editor- and paste it into the CODE editor and add my Smarty to it there- the first few weeks I thought it was totally retarded to leave the code in both areas- if only one was being used- but after I started using it like this I decided it was brilliant AND really useful because it saves me from having to write the html code..I just create it with the WYSIWYG editor then copy/paste it over and add my Smarty code to it ( like the above example)

Took me awhile to wrap my mind around this also- I hope this is helpful

template compare issue and email notice issue


Ning To Jamroom

hehe makes sense- using it here too...but thought it was my secret :) I did notice in the emails that the source of the problem was the new template identifier ( same exact code) but never considered shutting it off.
I use that tool all day long here- saves me much time and headaches- so if its only effecting emails to the admin then I plan to leave it on

Good find though!
( at least now we know which template the email originates from :))
Thanks
