Jamroom 6 Upgrade Guide

Announcements

Probably what I would do if i had a jrAction_item_list.tpl file in my skin would be to change its name to xxxxxxjrAction_item_list.tpl which would turn it off as an override for /modules/jrAction/templates/item_list.tpl

That would allow the modules default one to fall through. If that fixes the issues, I would copy that to
/skins/(MY SKIN)/jrAction_item_list.tpl

So that I am running on the same version as the module, but overridden, then make the changes I want in that file.

JR5 to JR6 Ningja Latest activity "array" issue

Using Jamroom

we wanted to change the name, so 'ningja 1.9.0' became 'ninja 2.0.0'. So if you're using the default skin, change and upgrade.

For you strumelia who is not using ningja at all anymore except maybe to compare files to, you'd delete or ignore ningja, install ninja and treat ninja as the most current version when you want to compare your template files to the latest version.

The jrAction module takes care of itself, so if you have no over-rides to that module it will all work.

However, if you have changed the default jrAction template by any of the template methods:

Docs: "Altering a modules template"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-developers-guide/1051/altering-a-modules-template

OR if you have a {jrCore_list} call to module="jrAction" that has its own custom template="some-file.tpl", then these over-rides will probably need fixing up because the variables they use to show the values have changed in structure.

The steps to do that are:
* find a URL where actions are listed on but say "array" instead of what you're expecting.
* figure out where the base {jrCore_list} call is that shows that template
* either remove the template="?????.tpl" or update the .tpl file to use the new code.

Sequence for you because you have a custom skin it will all be safe. You've cloned it.

STEPS:
* update the core from the marketplace.
* (not necessary, but I like to) update the jrMarketplace module first by itself.
* apply all updates
* IMPORTANT: run the integrity check
* clear the caches

Then go look for what is broken. Probably only Timeline related stuff if you have any custom {jrCore module="jrAction" template="??????"} calls.

If you do have those, the template= will need to be removed or updated.

here's one.

The program in the screenshot is GIMP my image editor that I used to create the screenshot. Firefox is off with the chat open in the not active tab. I sent a message from a different PC and the alert popped up as a system alert with a chi-ri-rin sound.

Did you wrap it in {literal}{/literal}?

What are you seeing instead?

Does it come out in the source code of the page when you hit ctrl+u (view html source)?

First step is to make sure its coming out in the source, then figure out whats wrong.

try clearing caches if what you expect to come out doesn't, then make sure you're editing the right file by adding IS THIS THE RIGHT FILE??? WHERE AM I???? to the .tpl file then check to make sure you are editing the place you think you are.

What paul is asking is the method you used to insert the code, there are a few ways to do it and which way you did it will help figure out the reason for it happening.

Code could be added:
* via the template editor
* via the file system
* via site builder

And if it disappeared the reason would be different for each.

Export events to an external calendar

Using Jamroom

At the moment it would require a custom module.

The only current way without a coding something would be to add 'likes' to the event, then your users could like the event they are attending and it would show up on their "Items you Like or Dislike" page.

That's the only work around that comes to mind until the feature is built.
