YouTube Video Display Vanishes Upon Skin Change


Using Jamroom

The Menu Editor is for the user drop down menu (the drop down menu next to the ACP drop down menu). It allows you to add more links to that particular drop down.

To add a link to the main nav menu, you'll want to modify the header_menu_desktop.tpl file. This can be done in your ACP > Skin Settings > Skin Templates. Or by modifying the template in an editor and then uploading to your site via FTP.

By using the template editor in the ACP, if something should get messed up by your modifications, there is a Reset button you can use that will revert the template back to the original template code.

You won't need to know any CSS, although it is recommended for any website, its just basic HTML for the menu. If you need it to be multi lingual then you'll need to know how to use the jrCore_lang function.

So if you go to your ACP > Skin Settings > Skin Templates and click the modify button for the header_menu_desktop.tpl, you can setup a new audio link by adding this:

<li><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{jrCore_module_url module="jrAudio"}">Audio</a></li>

just above this code:

{* User Settings drop down menu *}
{if jrUser_is_logged_in()}
<li>
<a href="{$jamroom_url}/{jrUser_home_profile_key key="profile_url"}">{jrUser_home_profile_key key="profile_name"}</a>
<ul>
{jrCore_skin_menu template="menu.tpl" category="user"}
</ul>
</li>
{/if}

And a YouTube link would look like this:

<li><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{jrCore_module_url module="jrYouTube"}">YouTube</a></li>

Hope this helps!

YouTube Video Display Vanishes Upon Skin Change


Using Jamroom

All of our skins will show audio, video and even youtube lists, even if they are not setup out of the box to show those media items. If you go into your ACP and look at the info tab for each of those modules you'll see there is a URL setup for them. Just point your browser to that URL and you'll see the list for that module. ie. yoursite.com/youtube will show a list of youtube videos.

http://hypnoticsoundscapes.com/audio
http://hypnoticsoundscapes.com/youtube

If a link for a module isn't setup for your skin, or in the main nav menu, you can always add it to your skins/YOURSKIN/header_menu_desktop.tpl file.

Hope this helps!

How to build a JrElastic multilingual-based site using the Site Builder?


Using Jamroom

The language files and the jrCore_lang function are what makes the site multi lingual.

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/783/jrcore-lang

You'll want to make sure that whatever you want translated is using the jrCore_lang function.

ie.

{jrCore_lang skin=jrCore_active_skin id="XX" default="Default Text"}


where XX is the language id you want and the Default Text is whats used if the function doesn't find the id in the language file.

No Flag images in the jrElastic Skin


Using Jamroom

The Elastic skin was never setup for multi languages, therefore there were never any flag images added to it.

If you have access to Nova, MediaPro or ProJam, you can get the flag diretory from one of those skins and copy it to your Elastic skin.

If you do not have access to one of those skins, let me know and I'll and zip up the directory and add it here for you.

core update crashes


Installation and Configuration

Are you using our hosting or another hosting company?

I update a lot of sites and have never had an issue. Most of the sites are not on shared hosting plans except one, which is kind of slow when updating, but I've never gotten a 500 server error message on any of them.

Where to get quality traffic for my JR site


Suggestions

No problem, I've been using them for a few years and I always get emails of newly added bands/artist, then I can listen to them and decide if they would be a good fit for my site.

Where to get quality traffic for my JR site


Suggestions

If you signup for their "Review New Bands" here http://www.musicsubmit.com/signup , they'll email you with new bands that fit your site, which can be setup in your account, and then you can contact the band directly to see if they would like to signup on your site.

Is that what your looking for?

Editing Menu Bar on Flashback skin


Design and Skin Customization

You can remove them or comment them out in your skins/jrFlashback/header_menu_desktop.tpl and skins/jrFlashback/header_menu_mobile.tpl files.

There shouldn't be any issues doing this either.
