"Embed local media" works easily for images, oddly for files

Using Jamroom


They're not displayed on any profile. You'll not find them in the search results, there is no tab 'UPLOADED IMAGES' on any profile. Unless you know the URL they're on its unlikely that you will re-use that image.

No. Anything attached is just noted as being attached in the database. Since the text is not in the database where the search functions function the text contained in the PDF will not be compared with the users search string when they search on something.

The search should return the main location of the item which is on their profile.

You could sponsor the module to be built, jrUpFile that worked like jrUpImg if its important to you.

Its not that its difficult to build, its just that you're the first person express interest in it.

after migration images no longer seem to copy to cache (and fail on reload)

do you have any extra caching system like lightspeed or other added to your system, check that first.

"Embed local media" works easily for images, oddly for files

Using Jamroom

The out-of-the-ordinary "Embed local media" item is the image upload, the files follows the normal pattern of every item belonging to a profile.

one of the core traits of jamroom is that the canonical location for everything is on a profile. The non-profile sections are just there to direct to a profile.

Think: Jamrooms origins are many bands uploading songs to their band profile. The songs belong to the band that uploaded them. Everything that band uploads is not the property of the site itself, but rather the bands profile on the site.

So if Tom uploads a file to his profile its Toms file.

When the Embed Local Media module got made it allowed the owner of the profile to embed their stuff from their profile into blog posts.

Then the jrUpImage module was made to add small images to the blogs that weren't part of the Gallery. But images uploaded via this method essentially disappear because they dont have a canonical location.

There is no module that exists to add files that do not have a canonical location.

other than clicking the PAUSE QUEUE button, not much.

Sometimes during a core update to a major version, but its pretty rare.

Disqus comments and/or normal Jamroom comments?

Using Jamroom

if you had a site that was just you putting up content and not allowing logins or signups but wanted comments, then disqus.

Problem with tinymce modal window and iPhone browser

Using Jamroom

tinymce should not be showing up on mobile phones. Its supposed to be disabled on anything reporting that its a mobile device.

Where are you seeing tinymce show up?

Design and Skin Customization

#1) I download the /modules and /skins folders. built into PhpStorm is an integration with GIT which is a revision control system. Before I download the /modules and /skins folders I go into ACP -> MODULES -> DEVELOPER -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> TOOLS -> REBASE MODULES (and REBASE SKINS)

That takes all of the:
/modules/jrAudio-version-1.1.1
/modules/jrAudio-version-1.1.2
/modules/jrAudio-version-1.1.3
and deletes all but the currently in use version and puts that on:
/modules/jrAudio

So when I go to download it it downloads over the top of my local copy of /modules/jrAudio then GIT tells me that "you have changes to these files....." so I can see whats changed between my previous version and this version.

If you found that the piece of HTML you wanted to change was in the /templates folder of one of the modules but you wanted to change it, you'd use this method:

Docs: "Altering a Modules Template"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/module-developer-guide/1051/altering-a-modules-template#override-a-modules-template

and copy the file to your skin, then make the alterations.

2) No. The template names are injected into the HTML when the page is displayed, if you download your skin you would not find that code anywhere.
