Using Jamroom

no not upload to youtube.

On the youtube module you can use the youtube module to bring in youtube videos from anywhere to the profile, or you can choose a channel to sync to and keep your profile in sync with that channel.

Jamroom updates - to overwrite own things

Using Jamroom

What you want is this:

Docs: "Events and Listeners"

Make a module to make the changes then you wont need to do anything when modules are updated.

Thoughts on new functions Jamroom

Using Jamroom

Thanks a lot for all your thinking about Jamroom, I will help make jamroom better.

Some other things to think about, Facebook like to change things so that their code stops working. We have built things many times in the past to what Facebook wants, then they change it and make it either not possible to work or needs fixing. It takes a lot of effort to try to keep facebook working.

So to think about, if musicians want to post to facebook is it better that jamroom is not the central location but rather PULLS from facebook, or do you want musicians to stop posting to facebook and rather post to jamroom that then PUSHES to facebook. Both are different ideas.

The Youtube module works in both PUSH and PULL methods now, but for facebook it will be much easier to break, so which one is desired is important.

Instagram

Jamroom Developers

I've not used instagram, so haven't thought about building a module for it. How do you envisage the module would work?

Good to hear

Unable to symlink new skin jrProximaAlpha - check file permissions

Proxima

Might be easier to spin up one of our servers, there's a 7 day free trial and you can install proxima on it.

Wamp is going to be an issue, I can see others have tried in the past ( https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/new_posts/37352/install-on-localhost-wamp/search_string=wamp ) and been directed to linux.

Or setup a linux server in a virtualbox so then you have a local linux version.

Unable to symlink new skin jrProximaAlpha - check file permissions

Proxima

What jamroom does when installing skins or modules via the marketplace is to use a symlink to link to the most current version.

When you install jamroom the file system will look like this:
/modules/jrCore/*

but then when you update core or any other module or skin via the marketplace, it will change the file system from the above directory being a real folder, to it being a symlink to the latest version.

In the file system you will have:
/modules/jrCore
/modules/jrCore-version-5.2.3
/modules/jrCore-version-5.2.4
/modules/jrCore-version-5.2.5
...
and the symlink on /modules/jrCore will point to the highest version.

If you're system doesnt support symlinks (maybe because its windows Wamp) then you might try not using the marketplace for updates and just download the modules from jamroom.net and upload them to your system.

This should get around the need for symlinks, but you'll probably run into other issues. Jamroom does not run on windows.

2 jamroom sites, 1 database

Installation and Configuration

Thats what you need, a way to differentiate that the request is coming from the app, then brians idea is the best one.

so add a page and put a {debug} in that page then see if you can find anything in that debug to identify that the request is coming from the app.

Docs: {debug}
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-developers-guide/1477/debug

Or if the app can add something extra to the urls it requests like ?__theapp=true then you can make a module to check for that and add the required replacements.

E-Commerce, Service Shop, Merchandise Shop and payment gateways

Genosis

Currently only foxycart. We chose foxycart so that we wouldn't have to build payment gateways.

Payfast gateway is already supported by foxycart:
https://forum.foxycart.com/discussion/5621/south-african-payment-gateways


There is another payment system in the works that will allow you to build your own payment gateway connection system if you don't want to use foxycart.

add quotas

Using Jamroom

Lots has changed from JR4, the exact answer to your question is here:

Docs: "Quota: Create a new quota"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-admin-handbook/2985/quota#creating-a-new-quota

but also checkout the rest of the manual here, there's some new stuff.
