I've started learning Java

Off Topic

I've always wanted to learn java, but have never found a project that fitted.

One thing you probably already know, but just to point out that 'java' is a totally different language than 'javascript'.

We use javascript here on jamroom a lot, and its useful on the web. Java however needs a different server to run it an is not such a popular language for writing web applications in.

If you're wanting to learn web development techniques then I recommend the O'Reilly publishing company. They write excellent books that get you going.

This is O'Reilly's book on PHP:
http://www.amazon.com/Programming-PHP-Kevin-Tatroe/dp/1449392776/

and they have a few on java too:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=oreilly%20java

I like their normal series of books, so for my learning style it would be the "learning java" rather than their 'Head First' series. Their normal series fits with the way I like to learn "Just tell me what I need to know so I can get started."

Their 'Head First' series is more of an "Lets look at the same thing many times via different cartoons and quizes". Im not a fan of that type of teaching.

Good luck with whatever you decide to learn.

--edit--
Java is a great lanugage to let you write software that works on Linux, Mac and Windows with the same code base. PhpStorm (the IDE I use) is written in Java.

Profile Layouts

Design and Skin Customization

issue has to do with the max-height inline style on the .item inside the #tab_content2

Got to run now, but will take a longer look tomorrow if you havent fixed it.

Profile Layouts

we're looking at the "experience" tab right? and it should go as high as it needs to go?

weird, height should be automatic. Perhaps its set by a surrounding element. got a URL?

Audio Upload Failed

Using Jamroom

* The max file upload size is set to 512M on the smallest server.
1. emails are all run through mailgun. (need brian to jump in here on the how. know we have @jamroom.net mails so should be possible.)
2. we don't have yearly payments, its all daily, so if you cancel half way through the month, you only pay for half the month.
3. no sorry. but this thread might be of interest to you:

That's looking real nice.

The scaling can be fixed by changing the .tab class from 650px to

its the width of the ul.

Update On Custom Metatags

Design and Skin Customization

Could be because you've customized the item_details.tpl file for the jrGallery module.

The jrGallery module that is responsible for getting that og:stuff out there is:
/modules/jrGallery/templates/jrShareThis_facebook_open_graph.tpl

Update On Custom Metatags

Design and Skin Customization

These are the metatags that appear in my gallery item details page:

Make sure your up to date with your modules. Can you see any meta tags that your example has that mine hasn't got? (that would be useful in the case of an image)

Profile Layouts

Design and Skin Customization

There's no smarty function to make tabs, but there are quite a few possible examples in the existing skins or the jrWidgets module of ways to construct it. (but there are other ways on the net in tutorial form too....)

updatinjg to sitebuilder core messed my site up bad

Using Jamroom

Looking into this now.
