Adding Youtube information
Design and Skin Customization

The cause of the issue appears to be settings at Youtube for the API key that you are using.

I've added some checks to the next version of the module to make sure the key you're using will retrieve videos.

If it cant retrieve videos from youtube you will see an orange light in the
ACP -> MODULES -> CORE -> CORE -> TOOLS -> SYSTEM CHECK

area.

In the mean time, click on the SAVE button at
ACP -> MODULES -> PROFILE -> YOUTUBE -> GLOBAL CONFIG -> "Save"

and that will run a check of your API key against youtube.

Adding Youtube information
Design and Skin Customization

could you send me your login details to support at jamroom dot net please. What is happening on your site is not the same as what is happening on my test server.

I am able to import youtube videos while combined video module is active.

Following List
Using Jamroom

blindmime:...How does {$jamroom_url}/follows/following work?....
That URL is powered by the jrFollower modules following view.

To see the code that powers that, you'd look in:
/modules/jrFollower/index.php

for the view_jrFollower_following() function.

adding to skin language
Design and Skin Customization

What happens when a module is installed is the language file gets read. Any strings that are found are moved into the database so they can be over-ridden from the ACP.

If there is already a language string for the corresponding number in the database, its not updated.

So if initially you have
$lang[55] = 'System Updates';
and you change that in the language file, it will see that string 55 already has an entry in the database and not import it.

this is the reason I chose to start from $lang[1000] for your suggested additions. That will leave all the spaces up until 1000 free for the module to use.

Even if you do update the module, the language strings are now in the database so they will survive updates.

The only time I can think of where issues will arise is if that module ever gets to 1000 language strings and tries to enter 1001 but you have already claimed that position with your strings, so the modules ones wont get into your system.

adding to skin language
Design and Skin Customization

I thought there was a form box for this added, but am not seeing it. hmmmmm.

One way you can do it is to clone your skin, then add the strings you want to the language file and run the integrity check.

Since its quite likely that the skin it was cloned from is going to get language updates I'd leave some space for them to come in if you want to keep in sync.

Currently the language file for elastic is found here:
/skins/jrElastic/lang/en-US.php
and looks like this:
....
$lang[55] = 'System Updates';
$lang[56] = 'Skin Images';
$lang[57] = 'Skin Style';
$lang[58] = 'Cart';
$lang[59] = 'Images';
$lang[60] = 'Location';
$lang[61] = 'Groups';
$lang[62] = 'Discussions';
add your language strings to the end of that
....
$lang[55] = 'System Updates';
$lang[56] = 'Skin Images';
$lang[57] = 'Skin Style';
$lang[58] = 'Cart';
$lang[59] = 'Images';
$lang[60] = 'Location';
$lang[61] = 'Groups';
$lang[62] = 'Discussions';
$lang[1000] = 'junk test';
$lang[1002] = 'another thing';

How Youtube Channel Integration Works?
Using Jamroom

It fires off of the daily maintanence. It checks the date of the latest youtube video imported via that system against the latest on youtube, if there are any newer they are imported.

Suggest only using this feature if you are JUST wanting to keep one profile in sync with its corresponding youtube channel. If you're thinking you want to sync to the youtube channel AND also add videos to the profile things could get weird with the newer videos being added.

OG Metatag for Google Analytics ?
Using Jamroom

If you're using the google analytics module then no, its probably not needed.

Google analytics has all sorts of extra bits and pieces of code you can add to extend how it tracks information. If you needed to add any of these extra pieces of info, you'd use the jrMeta module to add them.
