SOAPI and Jamroom

Jamroom Developers

Hi Paul and Michael,
thank you very much for your response. SOAP stands for "Simple Object Access Protocol" and is a network protocol based on http and xml for exchange of data between services and servers. Paul is right with this API one can do verious remote procedure calls alike get get media by ID or Categorie etc ... You can get a fast introduction into SOAP here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Services_Description_Language.
The media asset management software that I am using at the moment is called flowcenter. The detailed API documentation and definition is generated by the WSDL file and can be read here: http://flowcenter1.flowworks.de/flowcenter.wsdl/flowcenter.wsdl.xml
There are a couple SOAP messages available that are working like program functions with a request and a response. You can use the heartbet function for basic SOAP connection tests. You can think of SOAP that it is a little bit alike REST but different.
There always should be a PHP or any other kind of CGI-script between the SOAP API and the
client browser. It should validate the requests before calling the SOAP API and make the SOAP
API 'invisible' for the client.
If there is a dummy user the password must not be inside the HTML/Javascript source codes in the
client browser! Otherwise the user can be able to access more functions then you wanted to offer in
your frontend.
It is recommended to use additional security measurements for the SOAP API e.g. HTTPs, Client
certificates, HTTP Auth or IP restrictions.

So in the flowcenter database there are all the media files alike mp4, photos in jpg etc ... stored as well as the categories and file trees are accesible. What would be great to either use Jamroom as the frontend CMS and keep the flowcenter digital asset management library still live in the backend on the server. Or further on to get all the database fields within the media assets and get them imported into the jamroom database. Which I assume is the way more complex situation to solve. So to me it would be allready very much helpful if I could adress with a php script or "module" the SOAP API and just get the links to the digital media files via calls.

I hope I wrote this understandable .
I am looking forward hearing from you.

SOAPI and Jamroom

Jamroom Developers

Hi,
it has been a while since I used jamroom. Now I was very much surprised where you guys came so far. Very nice. So I thought maybe I could switch to jamroom with a media project. This switch would need a SOAP integration so that I could fetch the media data from my seperated "digital asset management" system and bring it into jamroom.Media alike videos, photos, categorie lists etc ... This system on its side only supports SOAP and no Rest API. Has anyone allready used Jamroom together with SOAP over Http. Or is there allready a wrapper from SOAP to Rest within Jamroom somwhere. I hope I was clear enough to tell you what I am looking for.

Looking forward hearing from you.
Best Matthias

Solo Artist Bundle payment process is not right

Solo Artist Bundle payment process is not right

Design and Skin Customization

Hi I just hit on a problem concerning the marketplace. The problem is that I cannot purchase any bundle at the price given in the marketplace if I don`t want to use a creditcard but want to use paypal.
The point is that in the marketplace the price is reduced by the prices of the modules that I allready own. But once I click on the "more information" button I get redirected to the jamroom.net page where the bundle is priced 59 $ and not the one that I see in the marketplace. Even when I click on the shopping cart icon then the bundle is put into the cart but of course with the 59,-$ price and not the reduced one.

This is happening with all the bundles. So is there a way for me to buy bundles with the reduced price without a credit card. I would like to buy it as usual with paypal since that is a fast and relieable payment provider.

Best

Problems with profiles on fresh import

Ning To Jamroom

Well I actually face the classic "504 Gateway Time-out" error. I am using Nginx as reverse proxy together with apache2 so that nginx sends out the static content while the rest is processed by tha apache2. This is a common way on doing things at the moment with webhosted dedicated servers where someone alike me is hosting loads domains with various contents.

And yes hi again it´s me, Matthias, again - I have been short in time thru the last couple years but I didn`t forget about jamroom at all. I mean how could I - - I have supported and bought every version since 2007. I just thought I give you some time to develope JR5 and now I decided to give it a try to see if it is possible to work with it on a production site.

So far I am in early stage of testing but as stated on top. Actually all seems to work fine but once you start the "Performance Check" it results in a time out by nginx.

I will keep on testing and will let you know how I solved this nginx problem when there is a solution.

I am looking forward working with JR again for the next couple of months and maybe this time I can finally use JR for a production site that is reliable.
