Cant Login to Admin Account

Using Jamroom

On jamroom hosting, there is a button to do this (screenshot). Since you're not on jamroom hosting another way to do this is to create a new account, then change its 'user_group' to 'master' in whatever tool your hosting company gives you to adjust the database.

* open the database
* find the jr_jruser_item_key table
* locate the user you've just created
* set its 'user_group' to 'admin'
* save.

Login as that new user.

Tracker Video Files

Using Jamroom

The embed code will only work if the video is uploaded to the profile and has gone through the video conversion process to make it a valid format that can be played on the web.

If it is uploaded to a profile first, then it should be able to be added to a ticket via the code you have there. If the code itself is coming out, make sure the "convert embed tags" is checked for that quota

Using Jamroom

manually clearing the cache would do it:

creating an unlisted admin Page

Using Jamroom

yes.

The thing the editor does not do well is allow for portability. it puts in http://your-site.com/module_url/...../..../... but does not allow for things like the module url being changed by the admin or the url changing.

You'll see in the skin templates things like {$jamroom_url} which is much better than typing in the url itself, because if it changes there's nothing to do.

But it will work.

No sub folders are necessary if you're using the {jrCore_image} function, or you can put them in subfolders if you like and link to them like

Issue With PayPal Address In Profile

Jamroom Developers

We'd need more info on how to reproduce it to look into it. Like the steps you take to see it happening.

Using Jamroom

Take a browse through the templates that exist in your skin currently, you'll find lots of useful examples. What you're talking about here is the traditional way to do things. It has the most flexibility out of all the methods.

If you're absolutely stuck for how to add the HTML code in that would be the same as what the editor would produce, make it in the editor, then click on the CODE VIEW button and copy the code from the editor to your template

Tracker Video Files

Using Jamroom

It got written to the cache directory with the name of the form submit key, then when that form was cleared by successfully submitting it the cache was deleted.

#2 I upload .mp4 files all the time to our tracker when there's something that requires a video. What seams not easy to you about the process?

--edit--
True, its not embeded, its attached. but clicking the link to it opens in VLC so its not a big hassle. (for us)

Notifications text for "forum category" - can it be made more generally understandable?

Using Jamroom

"If you are following a forum, and a new message is posted, how do you want to be notified?" has a slightly different feel to it than
"When you are watching a forum category for new topics how do you want to be notified?"

I believe this is for when you are wanting to be notified of any new threads created in a category, not for when you have a thread you are wanting to know about new replies to.

How to apply the jrcore_lang strings change from Ninja update to my custom skin?

Using Jamroom

One goal lately has been to make sure all language strings are in the language file. You understand that you can change your languages from the templates too, so any updates related to language strings are not going to be an issue for you.

Way I make a new template.
* open the /skins/YOUR SKIN/index.tpl save it as /skins/YOUR SKIN/url-you-want-here.tpl
* empty out all the innards of it and just leave the jrCore_include HEADER and FOOTER lines.
* add what you want into the middle bit.
* upload to your server

Your new page is visible at your-site.com/url-you-want-here
