Feedback please for jamroom.net site flow

Using Jamroom

Probably the biggest help to keeping Jamroom development progressing is everyone who has chosen to use our hosting.

https://www.jamroom.net/hosting

Thanks all of you who chose that option.

We need some feedback and input on what you think of this site here jamroom.net please.

I want to adjust the site flow to encourage more new users who reach the top page to become jamroom customers and would like any input as to where you think jamroom.net is lacking and what is good about it.

Any suggestions/criticisms welcome. Especially interested in how you made the decision to use jamroom hosting over other hosting options.

Interested in where you think are weak points of this community and what would be nice to have.

appreciated.

--edit--
What were the reasons you chose to use jamroom instead of some other platform?
What were the issues that held you back before choosing jamroom?

That kind of stuff.

Error Hosting

Jamroom Hosting

All of those things are issues that your server guy can sort out. They are just settings that need to be adjusted.

You can ask whoever your hosting with to sort them out for you.

The Foxycart api needs to be setup via the instructions:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/2/setting-up-foxycart-jrfoxycart

but things like "unable to find imageMagick..." is probably because its not installed on your server.

gallery view sizing issue

Ning To Jamroom

Yeah, I can make it not fit by zooming the browser in, but there's nothing you can do to stop that. If the user wants to zoom in to +10 then the site is going to look different.

You have to design for +0. I can't see any other way to do it without going nuts.

Making a log in/ sign up page

Using Jamroom

The next version of the jrUser module will have adding a "user signup" and "user login" widget as part of it.

So just wait for jrUser 1.5.14 to be released and then add the widget provided. "User Login and Signup"

Trying to get a (scrollbar)* slider on Activity Feed

Using Jamroom

Its the terminology that's getting in the way here. What your talking about is "scroll bars on a piece of content"

It is possible to do but not without CSS knowledge.

The reason some pieces of content had scroll bars on them was because the CSS set a fixed height for their container then set the overflow to scroll.

It was possible to have this because what was on the page was fixed content. By changing to Site Builder what content is on the page becomes unknown, so if you want a fixed height for whatever you put there currently the only way is by adding extra CSS.

There is no interface for free input of CSS yet. To do that you need to adjust one of the .css files in your skin and re-upload it via FTP.

Same way as adding the comments form was outlined in the other thread:

but in this case the template you are adding it to is one of the guestbook's templates so the comment form code looks like:

Subrcriptions Quota Artist

Using Jamroom

subscription sales require foxycart. You can use paypal via foxycart but the jrPaypal module alone can not sell subscriptions.

This module:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/104/paypal-buy-it-now

can NOT sell subscriptions.

But this one can sell subscriptions:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/70/foxycart-ecommerce

but to use the foxycart service (foxycart.com) you need to pay them $15/month to use their service. Their service can connect to Paypal.

play icon issues on profiles

Ning To Jamroom

Its in the marketplace now for soundcloud 1.1.4 so just update and it should be fixed. Thanks for finding that issue.

play icon issues on profiles

Ning To Jamroom

The issue is the jrAudio player has the .button_player class on the button where as the .sc_button_player does not.

Adding this to your CSS will sort out the issue:

I'll get that added to future releases of the sound-cloud module too.
