How to remove cometchat from database?


Using Jamroom

ACP -> DEVELOPER -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> TOOLS -> DATABASE ADMIN

Check the checkboxes in the right hand pane that have 'comet' in them, then scroll to the bottom and click the 'drop' button.

GONE.

Jamroom 4 Archive Site


Off Topic

I just logged in and went here:
http://archive.jamroom.net/Downloads4_Core

clicked on the "Download Now" button for the items that I have licenses for and they download. No problem.

Seams to work.

I can see the user 'Acidphantom' exists with email "a********@h******.com" and has licenses. So if there is more to your issue then you need to explain it.

Learning new stuff can be frustrating, good on you for trying. Please understand that its not our intention to try to teach everyone to become a developer, there are many courses and books available to do that.

Personally I LOVE books by the O'Reilly publishing company (except for the "Head First" series, hate those....). They write with very little fluff and just get what you need to know into your head.

eg:
Book: "Learning PHP"
http://www.amazon.com/Learning-PHP-Introduction-Popular-Language/dp/1491933577

Yes there are docs that are aimed at developers that may be confusing for non-developers.

TIP: One thing developers know instinctively to do is to go look at the code that is running to see what is happening, because the docs can only ever be an explanation of what the code is doing.

If it feels like time wasted, it might be better to hire someone to do it, no sense learning a language you don't want to use.

Editor Embed Media Update Bug


Ning To Jamroom

Yeah the caches do get cleared as time progresses, there is a daily maintenance process that keeps stuff up to date, so it probably would have come right given enough time, but in the integrity check there are a couple of other options to repair modules, repair tables and optimize tables. I checked all of those this time.

Those run some extra processing to make sure things are in order. There's no issue in running the integrity check whenever you want to to make sure things are in order, just like taking your car to the mechanic for a tune up. Hopefully you don't need a tuneup every week, but if you feel like doing it that often there is no issue doing it.

An example of what happens in an integrity check from the Forum module:
* Compare topic counts and update category table if wrong
* validate the last updated user still exists (in the case of a spammer being deleted and them still showing as the last post in the forum)

Those things should be right anyhow, because the topic counts should update correctly and the deleting of the spammer should clear them as the last updating user..........but if for whatever reason they dont, then the integrity check fixes it up.

Getting error on fresh install


Installation and Configuration

did an install here today with the downloaded version from here and didn't notice any errors.

You can "Release all licenses" from here:
https://www.jamroom.net/networklicense/license_browser/119182

and they will get picked up on again when updated from your new install location.

All the modules are usable on up to 2 locations anyhow, so you can have a dev machine and a production site working at the same time. or if its on our hosting as many as you like.

Data / Log Folder


Installation and Configuration

even if access is restricted to the user directly viewing the files via a web browser, as long as the server can access those locations to deliver the file then it should be right.

Like the image functionm your image is not stored at:
https://www.jamroom.net/user/image/user_image/78/icon/crop=portrait/_v=1443910743

That url runs the 'user_image' function that goes and gets your image from wherever its stored and delivers it if appropriate.

Accessing the files directly takes away the ability to over-ride it by a module.

More specific please "some docs somewhere imply that some names are reserved" is hard to take action upon, so its unlikely anything will change.

Editor Embed Media Update Bug

Ok, found it. Wasted half the day before doing what I tell everyone to do when there is a problem, doh!

Docs: "Somethings wrong what do I do?"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/problems/114/somethings-wrong-what-do-i-do

Ran the integrity check and cleared the caches, its working now. :)

Curtis, if you could do that too, it should come right.
