I don't know. Could be. It will only take a few seconds to try it out and see.

I did not see it in the screen shot you provided ... if none of this helps it's beyond my understanding to troubleshoot.

Missing Home Page About Blog entry - just disappeared from db

Installation and Configuration

Do I need to run a repair tables from the integrity check?

And I am getting another error I have never seen ... as shown in the screen shot.

Database calls appears to be abnormally slow and Performance Check gives me a rotten rating on this server in that regard.

Context sensitive menu in Tiny MCE editor?

Installation and Configuration

John -

I am on a Mac using a trackpad and the usual right-click combination does not cause the menu to pop up reliably.

Thanks, SE, it was. Buried at the end of a VERY long email with lots of other information, IP addresses, and more.

Made the update, waiting for it to propagate and then will update config.php and I am good to go.

e-commerce confusion (foxy)

Installation and Configuration

I had this problem with another shopping cart.

One thing that cart allowed me to do was to reduce the price of items (as long as the final capture amount is below the auth amount there's never an issue).

SO ... if FoxyCart allows you to revise prices after the auth is made, you can always reduce the shipping cost. I did this. I set a price that covered 90% of situations and refunded shipping overages when they occurred - if they were more than a buck or so. I took the hit when I underestimated the shipping costs. In the long run, it balanced out any my customers were always happy to get an email from me saying that I was going to be charging them less than they thought for their order.

You need to add iframe to the list of allowed HTML and you can do it just for your member Quota to restrict it to you. If the embed string also contains "src" add that to your list of allowed HTML.

I had this same issue with javascript code inside one of my templates that I did not want to be parsed by Smarty.

If you have some javascript inside your iFrame, try surrounding it with {literal} {/literal}. But the first step is to make sure iframe is allowable HTML.

thanks, @soaringeagle - I just need to get the A record IP address from Arvixe and ask them about the www as well.

I am unlikely to add it to the config template myself. If this is something that is generally supported by Jamroom I will do it.

I do want to give members the ability to embed images in blogs, though, not just have the one image. I have activated the src tag in the HTML for ME so I can do it and reference images that I have uploaded but it would be nice to offer it globally if here is a safe and easy way to do it.

I do not do this very often ...

The registrar for TheChocolateLife.com is GoDaddy and because I have my MX records for GMail there I don't want to move the nameservers to Arvixe ... unless all the existing records will transfer without a hitch and it will make everything just a whole lot easier.

The A record host is @ which points to 208.82.16.68, which I assume is some Ning name server.

Mail is hosted at Google, so I have CNAME and MX records for that.

There is a CNAME www entry which points to discoverchocolate.ning.com

I have to find an IP address or server name from Arvixe for the A @ host record.
TheChocolateLife.com sits @ thechocolatelife.thechocolatelife.info and thechocolatelife.info/thechocolatelife.

I like having a www tertiary name - what's the hostname for that?

This is the last stuff that's standing in the way of my making the switch. I just want to make sure I get it right as the delays are 24-48 hours if I get it wrong.

I have to configure txt, CNAME, and MX records for Mailgun. But that's a separate issue.
