Aparna with Nova Skin
Installation and Configuration

Aparna creates 'datastore' modules so on the homepage you would need to use jrCore list, something like -
        {capture name="row_template" assign="template"}
            {literal}
                {if isset($_items) && is_array($_items)}
                {foreach from=$_items item="item"}
                    <div class="infobox">
                    {$botw_title}
                    </div>
                {/foreach}
                {/if}
            {/literal}
        {/capture}
        {jrCore_list module="BandoftheWeekModule" … parameters to get the bow …. template=$template}
Hope that makes sense.

Aparna with Nova Skin
Installation and Configuration

The templates that Aparna generates are very generic and do just show the 'key/value' pairs of the datastore item.
You need to edit them for the language strings and layout you want.

Recurring Events with jrEvent
Tips and Tricks

Did you know the jrEvent module supports the creation of recurring events?
Its not enabled by default. To enable, on the Create Event form view, click on the Form Designer button (top right).
See that there are two inactive fields, Recurring Event and End Date. Click the modify button for both in turn and set them to 'active'.
Now, when creating an event, you optionally get to set the 'recurring rule' and the last (end) date of a recurrence.

jrRating Tip
Tips and Tricks

Perhaps not everyone realises that jrRating supports multiple ratings per item. All the default Jamroom5 templates are set up with just the one star rating.

Take a look at the jrAudio/templates/item_detail.tpl file and find this section -
{jrCore_module_function function="jrRating_form" type="star" module="jrAudio" index="1" item_id=$item._item_id current=$item.audio_rating_1_average_count|default:0 votes=$item.audio_rating_1_count|default:0 }
Note the parameter index="1". Now replace the code section with something like this -
Production:{jrCore_module_function function="jrRating_form" type="star" module="jrAudio" index="1" item_id=$item._item_id current=$item.audio_rating_1_average_count|default:0 votes=$item.audio_rating_1_count|default:0 }
StarQuality:{jrCore_module_function function="jrRating_form" type="star" module="jrAudio" index="2" item_id=$item._item_id current=$item.audio_rating_1_average_count|default:0 votes=$item.audio_rating_1_count|default:0 }
Overall:{jrCore_module_function function="jrRating_form" type="star" module="jrAudio" index="3" item_id=$item._item_id current=$item.audio_rating_1_average_count|default:0 votes=$item.audio_rating_1_count|default:0 }
Listeners can now rate the track on three different properties.

Songs and Video id's
Installation and Configuration

A quick way is to check the url when viewing the song/video detail page. Its the argument second to last i.e..
/admin/audio/16/abigail-again
In this case 16

How can i exclude songs from jr_charts
Using Jamroom

With so much JR5 work, I've almost forgot how JR4 works!! But from memory, this might just be a case of copying the charts scripts to something else, and then editing the queries in it to take account of the custom 'hide_song' checkbox, then altering all your templates to call the new chart script instead of the original.
Sounds straightforward when you say it quick, but there may be other issues and implications.
Problem is that I'm away from next week until end of January. I'll still be online be not available for any serious custom work, so could take a look when I'm back, assuming I've not completely forgot all about JR4 by then ;-)

SOLVED - Spotlight - Random Artists
Installation and Configuration

I think that as 'random' mysql queries are inherently slow, JR5 treats random calls in a faster 'pseudo random' way that needs more items to work with.
I've just tried {jrCore_list module="jrProfile" order_by="_profile_id random"} on a site with just three profiles and get the same order every time, but {jrCore_list module="jrAction" order_by="_profile_id random"} yields randomness.
So, get a few more profiles loaded up and it should be ok.

Album Editor
Design and Skin Customization

A post from 2007 refers to JR4, however, I think I see what you are asking as you cannot edit an album name and have it apply to all tracks on that album. Is that what you are referring to?
We can look into that.
