Jamroom's oldest site gets a makeover
Off Topic

Motagator was started just a few weeks after the first Jamroom was released way back when. Since then its been pretty well looking after itself with me keeping it up to date with the latest released etc. However, its been pretty dormant in recent times with few new signups and uploads so thought it was time to give it a major makeover!!

I've long had a dream to see a Jamroom based site as a serious alternative to some of the more popular social sites so that's what I've done here, just using all of JR's 'off the shelf' modules and features, but most importantly it has a new 'snappy' domain name.

So, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to GUFFR.IT :-) http://guffr.it

See what you think, and feel free to use it and spread the word to get JR up where it belongs
Thanks

Mobile Version Question
Jamroom Developers

Just to clarify what Perrie is asking, on her 'SiteBuilt' page the widgets are showing blocks of images (see screenshot). On mobile devices these are coming out one on top of the other. This is what is expected with the responsive skin design but I think Perrie wants to maintain the grid structure on mobile devices?

tpl for account settings?
Design and Skin Customization

Those pages are part of Jamroom's 'back end' control panel so are not template controlled.
You could possibly edit the language string to add so extra info in the banner - http://yoursite.com/profile/admin/language/lang_code=en-US/p=1
Language ID 2 is the profile banner text (html here works).

Recommend App Building Software / Platform
Proxima

I did 'dabble' with a few app building packages a year or so ago but didn't take it very far. Appery was one of them and I do recall it being one of the easier ones to use, though iirc was concerned that it was a bit limited it was it could do.
As I said, didn't delve very deep so could be wrong.

Locking Group discussions?
Using Jamroom

Sorted.
Admins need to update the GroupDiscussion to see and check the Lock checkbox.

Locking Group discussions?
Using Jamroom

Looks like you added the checkbox to the group update form and not the group discuss update form. Also, the words in the code I gave you were advice on what code to insert - not to be used literally ;-)
Can I login and sort it for you? (I still have your admin login)

Locking Group discussions?
Using Jamroom

Add a checkbox field called discuss_locked to the GroupDiscuss update form using the Form Designer, then in the jrComment comment_form.tpl template wrap the code that generates the comment form in some conditional code, something like -

{if jrUser_is_logged_in() && $_user.quota_jrComment_allowed == 'on'}
    {if $jrComment.module == 'jrGroupDiscuss' && $jrComment.discuss_locked != 'off'}
        Discussion Locked
    {else}
        Show comment form
    {/if}
{/if}

YouTube Videos - multiple opportunities to rage quit
Ning To Jamroom

When creating a YouTube video you just paste in the URL, or, as Strum said, just the 11 character ID.
Also, if you install and enable the UrlScan module, just paste the URL into any text/editor box and it'll be converted to its video title linked to an inline player.

New Events Module
Design and Skin Customization

I don't think that we'll be updating the Event module to do this as your requirements are pretty specific and its JR policy to keep modules as 'general purpose' as possible. However, maybe you'd like to 'sponsor' the development of a module to work with the event module to achieve this functionality?
My understanding is that you want to specify the Artist and Venue quotas, then add 'live search' fields to the Event forms to select profiles from these quotas? A module to do this would be fairly straightforward to develop. Please confirm that this is what is needed, and specify any other requirements so that we can discuss this further.
