sb causes doubled styling due to forced containers

Using Jamroom

This is a skin issue with your skin, you'll need to adjust your skin CSS to match the structure of the current site builder system.

sb causes empty ghost menu items

Using Jamroom

what do you see when you go into the MENU EDITOR? are those items there? try deleting them and re-creating them or adjusting their settings.

not sure what you're wanting to achieve.

Foxycart XML Error

Using Jamroom

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_301


Check all your urls for that are assigned are correct, www. is different from non-www

so check your admin.foxycart.com setup is using the correct urls for your site.

Event Notification timing oddness

Using Jamroom

Its not so impressive, its much easier to read in code, turning it into english it seams complicated.

The hard part is understanding what IS happening vs what you WANT to happen, then its just writing some rules.

You'd have it sorted pretty quickly if its something that interests you I'm sure.

Event Notification timing oddness

Using Jamroom

Think I've found the issue, its related to that extra module installed (jrXEventDuration).

What is happening is that module has a check in it for when searches are done for events which have an event_date on them AND the "show past events" option is set to not show past events.

Because your events have an end date ('event_end') it is re-writing the request from:

"get me all the events that are newer than today" to
"get me all the events that haven't ended today"

In a normal list, that's fine, but with the notifications emails the request is:
"get me all the events that are are newer than today, but no newer than (notification time setting in hours)" and its rewriting that to:
"get me all the events that haven't ended today"

Think I've got it fixed up. I've put the module in a private release channel since you're the only one using it.

I've sent an invite email.

put that invite code here:

Then the jrXEventDuration module will appear in the marketplace updates, update it and set the time back to 48 hours and all should be well.

Event Notification timing oddness

Using Jamroom

cant see any way this could have happened. That's not to say that it couldn't happen, just I'm not seeing how it could happen.

The system:
* once an hour the system performs routine tasks. This is triggered by any person visiting the site more than an hour from the last time it was triggered.

* during that routine task a separate task fires that asks if any modules want to send out any emails to anybody.

* The events module uses that second routine to locate any users who have clicked the attending button for any event that has its event_date coming up within your set '48 hours' (or whatever) between the current hour and the event_date.

I can see that if the notification time was set to 1 hour, then its conceivable that if nobody visited that site within the 1 hour prior to the event time that the email might not get sent out, but 48 hours seams enough to ensure someone (or a bot) visited the site within that time and triggered the hourly routine off.

while looking I was trying to locate any setup that might cause the email to get sent AFTER the event and I cant see how it could happen.

The search looks for

any other clues? old modules, extra modules? not sure....

nice one!

page created in sb (old version) only shows up when logged in

Using Jamroom

great explanation, thanks.

The old site builder is not being worked on and there will be no updates to the old version.

How about we look at the "...since new version does not work..." part of it. What about the new version 'does not work'?

When you enable a default skin and have the old site builder version disabled, what happens? The old site builder and the new site builder systems can not be on the same site at the same time, when you install the new site builder it should shut down the old site builder modules.

cool, lets take it one issue at a time. maybe on a dev server is best because I know you're site is live.

* the page edit buttons do not show up. (great, clear issue that we can solve. thanks.)
* every widget gets double styling. (another clear issue that we can solve. thanks.)
* 2 empty menu items

make a thread for each of these and we'll tackle each issue individually.

Lets start with the "page edit buttons don't show up" because they need to.

From the forums we can only really address a problem at a time, not "it all doesnt work" problems because there is nowhere to start.

This thread too, it states a problem but not how to reproduce the problem so I can setup to check it out then there are like three other issues about separate things. It makes it hard to get the thread to 'solved' status.

The new updates to the Site Builder system do not have any new updates to the import system for importing data. The updates will have no new results for what your after I'm afraid.

When doing what?

Love seeing issue reports in this type of format:
It makes it easy for me to check out the issue and provide some possible solution.
