Cometchat setup

Using Jamroom

Yeah, they got that sorted. What they've done is to change the module name here in the marketplace for the basic version.

Now there is no premium version here in the jamroom marketplace, so it wont be updated/updatable from the marketplace.

Only the basic version is in the marketplace, so only that can be updated via the marketplace. The premium version will have its own module name. So what version each is will not matter.

BASIC: Updatable via the marketplace
PREMIUM: Updatable via ftp only.

Song and videos plays numbers and image not showing

Design and Skin Customization

The images and the chart position are connected. because there is no chart position, there is no image showing.

What is trying to show is:
your-site.com/skins/jrNova/img/.png

There is no name.png because there is no position. Fix the chart problem and the image will also be fixed.

--edit--
Check the setup of the "Advanced Charts" module. Its the one that handles the charting in JR5
ACP -> LISTING -> ADVANCED CHARTS

links in emails from Jamroom Support missing links now

Using Jamroom

mmmmm, wonder how that's happening. I'll go look, see if I can recreate. any guesses? works for me but not for you.

--edit--
think I see why, brians already found and fixed it here. I've uploaded jrForum 1.6.2 to the marketplace. Could you see if that sorts it out for you please.

I think it will.

Put lightbox feature everywhere?

Using Jamroom

Check out the just updated version of the docs:

"Altering a modules template"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1051/altering-a-modules-template

It now contains 2 ways to do what your after, either via the file system or via the ACP

@lornawebber sure, totally agree that what we have now is not going to be perfect for every use-case. What I'm saying is that I think what we have now is the best multi-purpose setup for general use.

What your after can be done at the skin level by over-riding the modules template and setting it up how you want it.

The only thing you will see with that "not ever photo is square" setup is that the CSS float will make it so you have big white patches.

See the two images attached. They show what is wanted and what you actually get when image of different sizes are floated together. You'd need to address how to handle that problem.

Cannot find 'error was encountered loading the media URL'

Installation and Configuration

Yeah, as paul said, the text is hard-coded. What is better than trying to change that text is to change the action that occurs when the button is clicked.

I think the suggestion of doing it in the templates is the best one as its easiest to implement, but it is also possible to do at the module level.

The function that is firing that produces that error is:
view_jrCore_stream_url_error()

and it contains an event

"events and listeners"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1011/events-and-listeners

So you could tap into that event to return different text or redirect the user to the login page via a small module with a listener in it.

I think the better way would be to expand on pauls idea. So if you want to show the button, but want it to do something different for logged out users, then this structure.


That way if the user is logged in, the song plays. if the user is logged out, clicking the button takes them to the login page.

Responsive Skins?

Design and Skin Customization

Yeah stuff changes on the interweb.

This is the contents of the documentation:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/contents

There is a section "Jamroom 4 to Jamroom 5"

and there are a couple of video courses here if you like videos better:
https://www.udemy.com/start-your-own-online-community
https://www.udemy.com/developers-guide-to-customizing-jamroom/

As a brief overview:

Now everything that is part of jamroom runs through the router system. So any incoming url's get funnelled into the the router that then works out who wants to deal with it.

The result is that you don't need to change core files to take control of a location. It works really well.

EG:
For this url your-site.com/somewhere That could be either a .tpl file in a skin called 'somewhere.tpl' OR it could be a module that takes control of the 'somewhere' url.

So the possible locations for output of that page are:
/skins/(YOUR SKIN)/somewhere.tpl (if that .tpl file exists in the skin) OR
/modules/xxSomewhere/templates/index.tpl (if there is a module controlling the url)

Then there are many more levels of possible interaction between modules and other modules.

So yeah it got a bit more complicated in JR5 but it also got a lot more powerful.

To me it doesn't make sense to put it on the details page. The details page is the one that holds the image as a single piece of content along with comments 'n stuff.

Since there is only 1 photo there would be no 'next' 'prev' on the item_details page, just a lightbox of the one photo.

It is possible to do though using the "Override a modules template" method above though.

Seams like if you have a community where there are a lot of comments left on each photo, then the current system would be better to view a photo, then navigate to the next one and also keep the option of viewing in a lightbox for those that want that too.

sure, you can take over that page and do to it whatever you want.

Editing a page layout with Sitebuilder

Using Jamroom

just an FYI post:

What was happening was some URL's had been activated as Site Builder pages, but no widgets added to them.

So what was needed was the pages that were created and empty needed to be deleted via the Site Builder menu so that the default pages could come back.
