Mobile MCE editor popup problem

Design and Skin Customization

Just changed the table to a dynamic row based system for upimg. Its in the marketplace now 1.1.2. Should do the trick.

jrGeo_location usage

Using Jamroom

The basic edition of that manages to tell me im in Tokyo. very un-specific. The professional version does a little better, but still gets it wrong by about 2 changes of train and 40 minutes to get to where I'm supposed to be.


And that service isn't free.

Did maxmind.com come back with a price for there more specific data.

In the end these companies are selling data as a service, so your unlikely to get very specific information for no price.

Advertisement Placement?

Design and Skin Customization

There's a module for Google Analytics:

"Google analytics"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/80/google-analytics

To get the code out to the skins, but yeah you could add it manually to the footer if you liked.

If it was me and I wanted a bunch of different ads in different places, I'd probably create a new file in the skin to include, then in there some code to determine which ad should be displayed.

something like:
/skins/YOUR SKIN/advert_460x120.tpl

Then in there have all the different 460x120 advert code.

jrGenosis Skin broke everything

Genosis

Hard to say without a description of what "broke the site" means.

Does it mean:
* my monitor caught fire and melted
* the screen was all white on a particular url
* an error was displayed

The answer will differ depending on what happened

--edit--
re-read, you do have an explanation. A blank white screen will usually mean that something that was needed was not there.

In the case of genosis, at a guess its probably including something that exists in the genosis skin that wasnt in in the skin that you have active.

You can check for error messages at:
ACP -> SYSTEM CORE -> TOOLS -> ACTIVITY LOG
ACP -> SYSTEM CORE -> TOOLS -> DEBUG LOG
ACP -> SYSTEM CORE -> TOOLS -> PHP ERROR LOG

To narrow down what the cause of the issue was. If its something that needs including you'll need to put whatever that is into the skin which your wanting to use.

Changing the skin to another one should make the issue dissappear.

--edit edit--
As for "what to do about it" what is the goal your after?

jrGeo_location usage

Using Jamroom

As I said: "you need more specific info"

The database is a free one. Might want to contact maxmind.com and see if they have a location database that can do what your after.

Image Slider on Elastic?

Design and Skin Customization

if you add /repair=true to the url you will see the blocks without the content, so can update them.

yoursite.com/the-page/repair=true

for next time.

jrGenosis Skin broke everything

Genosis

1. yes.

Skins are more than just a theme, the skin designers get to pick and choose what options they make available to be displayed to the visitor. So technically 'no', but no other skin is setup to deal with Family Tree creation. For example if you put the genosis modules into a jamroom system running the ProJam skin:

http://demo.jamroom.net/jrProJam/

Its got links to "Gigs/Events" which make absolutely no sense in relation to a Family Tree.

You could customize Genosis skin or customize one of the other skins to be a Family tree, but they're not a straight drop in.

Event Image vs Source

Genosis

Theres always a number of ways to do things, sometimes one way is better than another if you have other plans later on for adjusting the templates, but if they both come out the same now and you have no plans to extend currently, then I think its an either/or situation where either works.

An example:
You can add an image as a blog post image or you can add an image TO a blog post. Both end up showing the image on a blog. The advantage of the first is that you can check when searching to see that the image exist before showing the post in a list, the advantage of the second is more flexibility in where in the post the image comes out, but the first way you can make a more uniform structure......... but.... and.... but.... and.....

whichever is ok.

Is there a way to delete users en masse?

Installation and Configuration

Yeah batch edit isn't the best way to go about it. The normal delete system will fire off all of the normal triggers to allow any other modules to fire off the processes that they want to.

Batch edit will only delete the item. The other stuff should get cleaned up by maintenance processes for orphaned stuff, but normal module delete process is better.

Profiles can exist without a user because admin can always edit them. You could always create a user later on and associate a profile with the new user if you wanted to give it to someone.
