Speedy Jamroom hosting...


Jamroom Hosting

Hi @perrie
Quote: I am not sure which level of VPS I would need, since this is a whole new concept for me. On Ning, I was on the middle level. I am not sure if that translates into anything here.

Not sure what 'Ning Middle Level' is but what you'll need to do is look at the size of your Ning archive when you have it downloaded and pick a server size onto which it will fit, but I'd also recommend having some headroom for your site to grow into, and for the server to work with, maybe about 30%. So if your archive is less that 16GB or thereabouts, go for the lowest 24GB server. If its between 18GB and 32GB, go for the next one up. Don't worry about your site growing in the future - upgrades are easy!!

We'll be going live with our hosting any day now but as brian said above, if you can't wait, shoot us an email.

setting for module listings


Installation and Configuration

If you make the changes using the ACP module template editors, then no, your changes will not get over-written.
Alternatively, in your active skin folder, create templates jrAudio_item_index.tpl, jrVideo_item_index.tpl, jrBlog_item_index.tpl etc., copy the contents of the module template to them and edit that file. These files, if present, will be used instead of the module templates and will be independant of any future module (and skin) updates.

Projam 5 Light Menu: Removing 'Music' menu


Design and Skin Customization

Hi - Welcome to Jamroom

To change skin language strings go to your Admin Control Panel - ACP=>Skins=>ProJam Light=>Language tab and search for 'Gigs/Events'. When found, change it there.

To remove the Music menu item take a look at the ProJam Light 'header_menu_desktop.tpl' and 'header_menu_mobile.tpl' templates. This can be done either directly via FTP or by using the ACP editor - ACP=>Skins=>ProJam Light=>Templates tab. Remove or comment out lines 23-43.

NOTE that if editing skin templates directly we strongly recommend first cloning the skin using the tool in the Developer module, then switching to that cloned skin and editing that. By doing this, should the templates in the original skin get updated by a new revision, any modifications you have made will not get over-written.
Hope that helps

How to add a contact link to the profile?


Installation and Configuration

Quote: Contact formular: How can we setup a contact formular for profile pages?
Not sure what you mean.

Quote: How is it possible for a guest to write comments or make guestbook entries without registration?
You can't. You'll just be opening up your site to spam.

setting for module listings


Installation and Configuration

You can actually do this now by editing the various module item_index.tpl template files and setting the 'pagebreak' variables in the jrCore_list calls to whatever you want.

Out-of-the-Box Setups


Suggestions

Basically, if you want to show your custom fields in the audio detail page you just add {$item.audio_lyrics} and {$item.audio_credits} (assuming they are the correct field names) to the jrAudio item_detail.tpl template, where you want the values to show. So, using the current template as an example, at lines 37 and 53 add this code -
<span class="info">Credits:</span> <span class="info_c">{$item.audio_credits}</span><br>
<span class="info">Lyrics:</span> <span class="info_c">{$item.audio_lyrics}</span><br>

Ning archive out of date


Ning To Jamroom

Interesting!! I've just looked at the Ning archive that I use for testing and yes, the 'non local' member json file has an additional entry at the end at a date later than the last entry of the 'local' json.
Unfortunately, the import process does need to use the 'local' jsons as they reference other files in the archive.
This is something that only Ning can answer I guess.

User Privacy Settings Don't Seem to Have Right Descriptions


Using Jamroom

I believe that Jamroom's privacy options are based on the Twitter model.
IMO facebook has big problems with their privacy policies!!

A fixed audio player


Jamroom Developers

CentricBeats:
Is there a way to have a audio player that is fixed inside the header or footer like in itunes or reverbnation.

Do you mean a 'persistent' player that continues the same track even when changing pages?

@maxcinsay has helped a couple of other users do this. See this thread - https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/design-and-skin-customization/7417/persistent-music-player-responsive-design-jamroom-5
