test site migrating 3.0 ning site


Installation and Configuration

One comparison of operating systems that I read somewhere really like went something like:
Quote:"Windows thinks you don't know what your doing, so tries to protect you from yourself. Linux thinks you do know what your doing so will not say anything when you do something really dumb."

On linux its possible to wipe out the entire operating system and everything on it with a one line command and hit enter.

Both of the philosophies can become really frustrating when they get in between what you have and where you want to go.

Jamroom has its way of doing things and if that fits with the way you want to build things stuff is easy.

Problem Using The Meta Tag Manager


Using Jamroom

The errors in the image are different to the one posted above.

I've not seen that error before, I'll have to investigate. Thanks.

Possible playlist bug for admins only?


Using Jamroom

Found the issue, we had accidentally left a file in the youtube module:
/modules/jrYouTube/templates/item_playlist.tpl

So the playlist module detected that, thought the module was Playlist ready and added the button.

I've updated the module and removed the file so the button doesn't show incorrectly. Probably left over from when we were testing ages ago trying to get all the systems to work with the player.

Should be good to go now. Sorry for the hassle. :)

Using Jamroom

I've turned off the playlist button for youtube in your button settings. Not sure why it was showing up there, I can't get the same system setup on my local environment. Still looking.

Strumelia:...So far only one comment. (huh?) The place is always flooded with endless coding workaround posts for (imho) trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear....

These forums are? I guess that's a fair comment, there is a lot of code that gets posted in these forums. We could cut it down if only senior level dev's who had read all the documentation were the only ones allowed to use the forums, but that's not going to happen ;)

But the best plan is probably just to realize that it's not going to be the best for everyone. If looking at code makes you scream and run away like spiders do ArgHHHHaaahhh, AND you want something that's unique and custom, then maybe Jamroom isn't there yet.

Being able to change the code means you can change anything, but it also means you can break stuff. :(

foxycart upgrades


Suggestions

Jamroom only uses foxycart for the payment processing, so any other features that foxycart may have added are not used in the jamroom integration.

We do have plans to upgrade the foxycart module coming up. The merchandise store is a separate issue.

Problem Using The Meta Tag Manager

That's not an error, its a notice. It means "You tried to do something with an empty list of items, but there were no things in the list, so im telling you.... the list was empty."

3rd party apps


Jamroom Hosting

If its the Jamroom hosting server, then no. Jamroom hosting is for jamroom only.

If whatever owncloud is can be turned into a jamroom module then it can run on jamroom hosting.

How To Make SEARCH actually search entire site?


Design and Skin Customization

gary.moncrieff:It appears site builders widgets arent getting searched, this raises another important question, how does one enable search on templates manually added. since search only checks through datastores?

Good point, I'll have a chat to the others to look for ways to approach content in templates. Thanks.

How can I "like" an item in JR.net?


Using Jamroom

The only place it is turned on on jamroom.net is here:

"Site Showcase"
https://www.jamroom.net/showcase/sites

It is possible to like other peoples sites, they will show in your list of things.
