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.

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?

Ning To Jamroom

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:

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.

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.
