Users can't write blog posts?

Using Jamroom

Yep, I would have asked that question. But is not that. The BLOG tab is showing on the screenshot, so its not the quotas, its just the button thats not showing, weird.

The other typical response: Have you ran the integrity check and cleared the caches?

With that out of the way, try switching skin to elastic and see if it persists. I have a dev server setup of your site here and am not seeing the same issue her. When logged in as cheshire-cat I can see the blog + button.

So my guess heads towards: Have you made any customizations to the blog template module files?

If the user goes to the YOUR-SITE.com/blog/create screen do they get error messages? If yes, then its something blocking them from creating a blog, if No then its just a missing button.

where are my custom smileys stored?

Using Jamroom

Smiley images are stored at:
/data/media/0/0/jrSmiley_1_smiley_image.png

In the filesystem. So copy those over to the new site.

There is this that will import an existing site into a new domain:

Docs: "Importing an Existing Jamroom Site into a Domain"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-hosting/2547/importing-an-existing-jamroom-site-to-a-domain

But that will bring the whole thing, and you probably JUST want the smileys.

So you can go to
ACP -> MODULES -> DEVELOPER -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> TOOLS -> DATABASE ADMIN

* In the top left hand corner you will see "Export" button, click it.
* change the top row from "open" to "save"
* click the very top most checkbox next to TABLES and again next to DATA. (that will un-select all the database tables.)
* now scroll down until you find:
jr_jrsmiley_item
jr_jrsmiley_item_key
* check the checkboxes to for both of those for TABLE and DATA. (total 4 checkboxes checked)

* scroll back to the top and click EXPORT

--
Save the file to a location where you know where it is.

--
Now we want to IMPORT that file into the database of the new site. So follow the directons above to get to the DATABASE ADMIN section for the site where you copied all the smileys to. We're now going to import that file.

* click on the IMPORT button in the top left hand corner.
* click on BROWSE
* navigate to that file and select it
* click on EXECUTE.

That should be it. run the integrity check on the new site and clear the caches.

What links can logged in users and passing visitors see and use? (SSL URL or non-SSL) x (local or non local)

Using Jamroom

SSL is a web security feature, it makes zero difference to how your site is laid out.

Neither Paypal or Foxycart require you to use SSL. The only thing that does require it is if you share audio players to facebook. Facebook requires that your site be SSL enabled to show the player, otherwise a link to the player will show.

"Show" "hide" control were audio and posts are shown.. in JR 6?

Suggestions

This is a Form Designer thing. Its not something that Every site is going to want and we don't want to add things to the core that have to be removed.

A checkbox on the forms via the Form Designer, then adding that to the {jrCore_list search="that_checkbox = on"} for where you want to see things is the way to go.

What links can logged in users and passing visitors see and use? (SSL URL or non-SSL) x (local or non local)

Using Jamroom

Right now you are viewing jamroom.net on a secure connection:

https://www.jamroom.net

It looks the same as if you were viewing it on an insecure connection

http://www.jamroom.net

So there is no difference as far as viewing the site goes. Until recently its been the normal way of doing things to view the non-secure site and only use the https version for things like payment transactions.

But then google decided it would give higher search ranking preference to sites that were HTTPS, so normal changed.

You can turn on httpS from your servers control dashboard:
https://www.jamroom.net/researchcooperative/hosting/domain_config/37/id=136

the "Enable Free SSL" button.

If that is enabled, then use the setting you outlined above "Checkbox: Create SSL URLs, SSL Certificate Required!" to re-write all http:// to https://

Dont turn it on unless you can see your site on https:// though or you will be stuck.

Can I move discussions from a group to my site's community forum?

Its in a private channel @elise, I've sent you an invite. We're discussing whether to release it to the main channel or not as its a specialty use case module.

Member pages on Sage skin - how to edit?

Ning To Jamroom

I haven't looked at the templates in the sage skin for ages, so don't remember what the code in there is setup to do, so my thinking is about the same as where you're at at the moment in not knowing whats going on or why things are happening.

So from this point of thinking to answer the questions as to WHY its happening, the first place to look for both of us is the code on the page we want to change.

Yes you could rebuild it in site builder if that was desired, but in order to RE-build it you'd need to know what it is now, so back to where we were, looking at the code on the page.

So looking at the members.tpl page, it looks like there is a jrCore_list call thats creating the Featured section. Its trying to find any profile ids that may be set in the skins config
ACP -> SKINS -> SAGE -> GLOBAL CONFIG -> Featured Profiles

And if it doesnt find any, then just shows any 4 random profiles.

Then there is the main body of the page.

Then down the bottom there is a call to include side.tpl so that side.tpl is the stuff on the right hand side of the page.

From JR6 a lot of skins are just going to be Site Builder editable by default and not need to have to rebuild the page. May be easier to wait for that ?? or give it a go first and leave that for the backup plan.

Active Timeline

Using Jamroom

You're wanting JR6.

Docs: "Follow Me"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/skins/4419/follow-me

Its primary focus is the timeline and yes it has status updates via ajax like twitter does when new things happen while looking a the page.

I guess you could adjust it in your meta.tpl

How to change the background color? Sage skin

Ning To Jamroom

Right now the sage skin is being prepped for JR6 so is not in a state to be released for JR5. Thats whats holding it back from the marketplace.
