Birthday Notifications

Suggestions

Its certainly possible to build with the Form Designer adding the birthday date to their profile form.

Then the {jrCore_list} call calling out people who's birthdays match today.

question about "Last Login" date

Using Jamroom

After having a look at the code, its firing off of the user_last_login table in the datastore.

That field is updated in a couple of locations, one is in the login submit form.

Another location is when the users session is in 'user start session' where the users details are retrieved because they have asked to be kept logged in.

So the "last login" is when the user last visited the site. If the user visited the site in with a different browser and was not logged in, then that's different though.

Its safe to think that "Last Login" was the last time a member of your site looked at the site in a browser.

question about "Last Login" date

Using Jamroom

I think its just the last time they visited.

If you think its not that, I can go over the code to get an exact depiction of what's going on, if necessary.

Testing the Wall Widget

Using Jamroom

I'm building a wall feature right now and would like some people to test it out.

Its here:

Are there still lofi and hifi audio options in JR5?

Installation and Configuration

1. don't know, never tried that, would need some testing as what your thinking about is a custom setup.

2. I think filezilla has a filter option to filter the files on the server to a specific pattern.

Limiting how much of the song is played/heard

Using Jamroom

The audio sample length can be set at:
ACP -> PROFILES -> AUDIO -> GLOBAL CONFIG -> AUDIO CONVERSION -> Audio Sample Length

That creates the sample when the conversion process takes place.

When the file is for sale, the foxycart module checks for a .sample. version of the file during the jrFoxyCartBundle_stream_file_listener() function and changes the 'stream_file' to play the sample instead.

So right now there is no setting in the ACP to make the sample play when its not a pay-for-download item, but it could be made with a not-too-complex module.

question about "Last Login" date

Using Jamroom

A user who is logged in and comes back to visit the site today will show the "Last Login" as today even if they did not use the login form today.

eg: I use the "keep me logged in" feature for my system and haven't used the login form for at least a few weeks. But it shows me as "Last Login" today.

"Share" a blog with members?

Installation and Configuration

If a member is following you, they will see that you made a blog post when they look at their timeline. Posts to your timeline will show up in their feed.

If you want to email them, you can use the NewsLetter module:

Docs: "Email Newsletter"

Unable to symlink module: jrImage

Installation and Configuration

Good news.

The thread was about a totally different topic than I thought it was.

For next time, this is a good place to start that should have pointed out the imagemagic issue:

Docs: "Something's Wrong, What do I do?"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/problems/114/somethings-wrong-what-do-i-do

That issue should have shown a red light in the system check.

Thanks for the update.

Unable to symlink module: jrImage

Installation and Configuration

There is a simlink from the modules base name to the current version of the module, so if that's not there after your move, it could cause issues.

eg the core module is jrCore and is located at:
/modules/jrCore

But the first update that comes in from the marketplace is placed with its version number in the folder title, like this:
/modules/jrCore-release-5.2.16
/modules/jrCore-release-5.2.17
/modules/jrCore-release-5.2.18

and the /modules/jrCore becomes a simlink to the most recent version.

What I would probably do if I couldnt copy the simlink would be to put the most recent version of the modules back on their base url, so rename
/modules/jrCore-release-5.2.18 to
/modules/jrCore

and only upload those base versions to the new server, then let the marketplace take care of making its own simlink on the server when updates are done.

--edit--
I'm not sure if you're meaning you cant use the site, or just that you cant update from the marketplace. If its just that you cant update from the marketplace, it might be because the web user does not have permissions to change the simlink thats been uploaded via FTP.
