Beta : Profiles - Deleting Profile 500 error Msg

Using Jamroom

Thanks for the video, it makes it real easy to understand the issue.

I'm not seeing the same thing here. A 500 error is an 'Internal Server Error'. Do you have access to cpanel or any type of server error logs to see what your server might be complaining about?

Check there for any hints.

Global config tabs not updating

In your video your changing it from 1,4,5 to empty. Try changing it to 8,9,4 or something else and see if that sticks.

Index Not Found

Installation and Configuration

(Disclaimer: I know very little about Nginx, what I do know mostly comes from you. )

What I would check is: is the index arriving at router.php

So in:
/modules/jrCore/router.php

Put a bit of test code in at the very top:'

Everything should go through router.php so if the index is not showing, it would be good to know if the server is sending the request to router.php or not.

That
put into router will cause the screen to show 'hello world' if the URL is being directed to it.

If it does show up it means the jamroom system should be working.
If it doesn't show up it means that the server is not sending that url to where its supposed to and points to a problem in .htaccess (if the server was apache, but its nginx......)

jrAction_item_index

Jamroom Developers

Possible locations for over-ride of jrAction's 'item_index.tpl'
#1: In the ACP at MODULES -> ACTION -> TEMPLATES -> item_index.tpl
#2: In the skins as jrAction_item_index.tpl
#3: In the ACP at SKINS -> (current skin) -> TEMPLATES -> jrAction_item_index.tpl

It can get confusing if there is are multiple over-rides in multiple locations.

--edit--
Check in the database at jr_jrcore_template to see if there are any ACP overrides

Url of a custom image

Design and Skin Customization

If you've uploaded it via the "Select Images To Upload" button in the:
ACP -> SKINS -> ELASTIC -> IMAGES -> ADDITIONAL IMAGES

Right clicking on the image there and choosing "view image" takes you to this url:

That's the same one you want to use if you want to allow over-rides.

Another example:

The above url will show the image
UNLESS...... there has been an image uploaded in the IMAGES panel of elastic, then it will show:

So use that function url to get the correct URL every time.

Video is private here too, can't see it without access.

Could you grant access to:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOibQrXXRgA

This is our channel:

If thats what you need to grant access, not sure, never used the private feature before.

How do I watch it?

This is The Jamroom Network's channel:

Can you allow access to that user?

How can we safely employ outside help for site development?

Design and Skin Customization

When I do freelance work for a client, the steps I follow are:

* We agree on my work terms ( http://www.apicos.com/site/jamroom_developer.php )
* You make a small initial deposit to ensure you are able to pay when the time comes
* You give me a copy of the site. This usually means FTP access to download it so I can setup a copy on my local machine.
* I do the work up to a certain point, you agree that its finished and pay that amount.
* I upload that portion to your site.

So your always in control of the portion that you've paid for.

I think you'll find developers will prefer to do the work on their own machine because they will have more tools available to them, then once its done put it on your machine.

Things that trigger alarms for me:
#1: Please do the work on my machine and I'll pay you once its finished
#2: I want to pay a fixed amount decided upon before we start.

#1: The client can shut off access and refuse to pay, nothing I can do, I've wasted my time.
#2: Signals the client is not confident they understand the scope of what they are asking.

TIPS:
* You get what you ASK for, not what you WANT so ask for what you want.
There have been a few times when I have built what was asked for only to be told, but that's not what I wanted. If the contract is for a 'fixed amount before we start' this immediately causes a problem. If the contract is 'pay per hour' there is no problem, but the client gets a bad feeling because they've paid for something they don't want.

So outline clearly what's wanted.

* Hire the right person for the job. If you want modules, you want a 'programmer', if you want implementation of a design to HTML you want a 'web developer' sometimes call themselves 'coder'. If you want the layout picked and designs done, but not necessarily the code written, you want a 'designer'. Its very rare to find one person who is all of these, and if they are, they will be expensive.

I'm not a designer, but I can take a design and turn it into a skin if the design is provided.

After that, its just finding someone who seams capable and building a relationship with them.

one All issue still not solved

Using Jamroom

There is nothing in your instructions that I am able to check.

Please provide instructions on how to reproduce the error if you believe its a jamroom issue. Otherwise, contacting oneall to inform them of your discovery is the correct course of action.
