Are there still lofi and hifi audio options in JR5?

Installation and Configuration

I thought there was a setting or a tool for not saving the originals or cleaning up the originals, but I've been looking and cant find it for the audio system.

The original file is stored with a .original. extension, so if its an mp3 file you'll have:
/data/media/1/1/jrAudio_audio_file.mp3 and
/data/media/1/1/jrAudio_audio_file.original.mp3

Its the original that will be delivered if the file is sold or used if the reconversion process is done or delivered if the download button is used.

Using Jamroom

It looks like gibberish because its in the development section and the section is about coding.

The title of that document is {if jrCore_module_is_active()}{/if} and its about how to code a module is active block.

I've updated the docs for the Gravitar Images module.

Docs: "Gravatar Images"

If there is anything you feel is missing from the docs, let me know and I'll get it in there

How can we safely employ outside help for site development?

Design and Skin Customization

Just like a plumber when you have water trouble needs to be able to get inside the house, so too does a developer need to be able to access the server.

However if its a new plumber you're not likely to say "here's the keys, go in whenever you like".

Same with a server.

If you're particularly nervous about them, you download what they need and zip it up and send it to them. Then get the results, and you upload it.

Slightly less nervous, let them have access, then change the password once they have what they need.

Fairly confident: let them have access for the duration of the project.

Once the project is done, change the password. This is for both you and them. If something goes wrong after the project has finished and you HAVE changed the password, the developer is free from blame and you wont suspect them of having 'done something'.

Peace of mind for each.

Isn't all that's needed an option to allow the default image to be displayed? With the issue being that huge unedited images might slip though if that setting is used.

and a minor issue being that the full size image, if huge, could be called a lot and use up bandwidth.

remote storage

Using Jamroom

the purpose of amazon S3 is to lower the cost of storage:

Docs: "HowTo Use Amazon S3 Storage to lower hosting costs"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/howto/3387/howto-use-amazon-s3-storage-to-lower-hosting-costs

If you've found cheaper storage, then specifics are needed.

There are a bunch of cloud modules related to setting up your own server network if you wanted to do that, but its intended purpose is to make your system larger by spreading the processing, not really lower the costs.

Its a wrapper module for the jquery plugin 'qTip2'

http://qtip2.com

So while the intention certainly was to get started with modules in the ACP, if its there, it can be used. Haven't done much work with it.

The surface pro 4 has its display at 2736 x 1824. apple will probably make upcoming things smaller too, we'll need to have flexibility.

need to get familiar with that {jrCore_list} function, its everywhere. Its the Swiss army knife of getting stuff you want.

What you have:
"Get me all the action modules items from profile X and order them by newest first"

What you want:
"Get me all the action modules items and order them by newest first and just show 10"

OR
"Get me all the action modules items and order them by newest first and just show 10 per page"

"Get me all the action modules items and order them by newest first and just show 10 per page and show page 2"


"Get me all the action modules items and order them by newest first and just show 10 per page and allow the user to go to the next page"

1. How can I make the Timeline view the default landing page on all profiles?
A: It is for most skins, if it isn't for yours, you can alter the default index via the profile_index.tpl template in your skin.

2. How can I get the share buttons (I am using the share this code) to display on the Timeline Activity profile page?
A: We already went over this in this thread:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/new_posts/36475/share-this-at-top-of-page/search_string=share

3. Is it possible to provide tooltips which will make it plain to people that posting on their profile page will also appear on the site home page?
A: There is the TIPS module:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/147/system-tips
Or something custom in your skin

4. Does the following code display ALL site activity?
A: No, you have a profile_id in there, so it will limit to that profile_id
Use pagebreak, or limit, see docs here:

Docs: "{jrCore_list}"
http://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/89/jrcore-list

Gimp is a good tool, I use it for all the screenshots in the docs.
