First Step is to add an extra field to the Blog 'Update' form. make it a checkbox and title it "disable comments". Then you need to figure out how you want it to work. Is it going to show the present comments but disable the ability to add more, or is it going to disable the comments from showing at all.

Having the  Event and Blog module able to Upload Multi imagess Like the Gallery Module all at once

Design and Skin Customization

The reason you're feeling some resistance from here to say "Great idea, we'll get that added!" is because the initial image is used as the definitive image for that event in lists, in media scan cards, in og:tags .....

If that single image for the event was changed to be a bunch of event images, then you need to define a specific image for the one to be used as the main image.

That makes the Event module different to how the Blog module works. The blog module has its main image for the blog thats used in the same way.

So the suggestion you got before to use the Form Designer to add a multiple upload image field for the extra images associated with the event and leave the current image for the events "Promotional Poster" image is my suggestion.

Then you can adjust the events item detail page and show all those extra images in whatever way you like.

It would be one extra form field added to your events creation page and you get exactly what you're after.

If you're unsure how to do it we can walk through it here if you like.

OG Tags Not Working

Using Jamroom

Probably whats happening is you're using the facebook debugger to check one URL then posting a different url expecting the same results, but the different url has different tags so you're getting different results.

Need to test each URL in the facebook debugger to see what you will get.

suggest: add an og:title tag to your metatags

OG Tags Not Working

Using Jamroom

There have been some recent updates lately to move the og:tags off of the jrShareThis module and into the jrMeta module.

The plan is to let jrMeta check for a meta.tpl in each of the modules.

This will allow for og:tags and twitter cards to be in place even if you havent signed up to sharethis.com.

These updates should be going out tomorrow, but if anyone on our team has updated your site, its possible you have an updated jrMeta module.

Thats what it looks like from your screenshot, a placeholder icon for something because you haven't got an image for that type.

The jrMeta module should only be adding og:tags to the item's detail pages though. /site_blogs is not a detail page, so if there are og:tags there my guess is they were added with Site Builder in the page config section.

Changed Folder name - Can't Login or Load Charts/templates - After JR6 update

Installation and Configuration

Also the guide you link to is one on how to change the directory of the entire site, but it seams like what you're trying to do is change the directory name of a single skin inside the site, for that you'd want to CLONE the skin. That will change its directory name if you want to customize:

Changed Folder name - Can't Login or Load Charts/templates - After JR6 update

Installation and Configuration

The issue could be the LAMP stack. Suggest installing a new jamroom install there and test to see if it works. Jamroom requires a linux server.

You can download the open source default stack here:
https://www.jamroom.net/open-source

Then follow these instructions if anything goes wrong:

Docs: "Quick FTP or SFTP install guide"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/4603/quick-ftp-or-sftp-install-guide

to make sure jamroom will run on your local setup.

The server requirements are here:

Docs: "Server Requirements"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/774/server-requirements

If you find that jamroom doesnt work on your LAMP system, you can use virtualbox.org to setup a real linux server on your local machine.

There is a guide to setting up a real server here:

How to Include "Add to Timeline" for Forum/Create when posting as Admin?

Using Jamroom

its in the next release of jrForum Version 2.0.10.

Will be released soon, just need another set of eyes on the chosen solution.

Developing Modules

Jamroom Developers

General rule is:
* if its for your site only, prefix it with xx
* if you have a developer account on jamroom.net use your prefix from there.

sure use 'ds' if you like, that way if they ever are released they wont need any changes. good idea.

How to Include "Add to Timeline" for Forum/Create when posting as Admin?

Using Jamroom

Think I have figured out what was going on. What is happening is that when an admin user navigates to a profile, the get an 'user_active_profile_id' set as the current profile. Because this is set the admin user is treated as the owner of the profile, they can update any item on that profile in the same way as the owner of the profile does.

The only exception is that if the admin user updates a Blog post it wont be shared to the timeline.

Its this thats getting in the way in the current situation. For forum posts the admin wants to be himself in this case, not an admin user accessing that profiles stuff. This case is different from editing a Blog or Audio or Other on the profile owners behalf. Its the admin user being a normal user writing a normal forum post.

I've added in some code in the forum/create page that sets the admin user back to themselves when creating a forum post. Its working. Im reasonably confident that the solution is the correct one.

The uncertainty area comes around if the admin user had multiple things open in multiple tabs on that profile. eg: admin user starts to write a forum post, opens a new tab, starts to edit a blog post from that profile, goes back to edit the forum post and saves. (who is the admin user being in this case.....)

I've checked it and cant make it fail even doing that, but if you can, let me know the steps. May not be possible, but also maybe.

Thanks Strumeila for the detailed description of how to reproduce it. That helped a lot.

Activity Log Help

Using Jamroom

where are you seeing "... tinymce_imagetools failed to save the adjusted file though...."?

In the activity log? or on the screen when you try to upload stuff. First guess would be space on the harddrive to store the image if its just started happening.

Could you walk me through some steps for me to take to see that happening please.
