Videos not showing descriptions
Design and Skin Customization

Form Designer is for getting info INTO the datastore,
Templates are for getting data OUT OF the datastore.

So you need to add whatever you called the Form Designer field to the template.

If you called it 'video_description' and the uploader of the video added some description to that field when they added the video, then you can display it on the page.

Look in the jrVideo's item_detail.tpl file for other output fields and you can use it in that same location.

There are many ways to over-ride the default jrVideo item_detail.tpl file, so where you need to alter will depend on if you are currently over-riding it or not and where you are over-riding it.

The default location is:
/modules/jrVideo/templates/item_detail.tpl

So possible over-ride locations are:
ACP -> MEDIA -> VIDEO SUPPORT -> TEMPLATES -> item_detail.tpl

or by putting a tpl file at:
/skins/(YOUR SKIN)/jrVideo_item_detail.tpl

and if that exists, then
ACP -> SKINS -> YOUR SKIN -> TEMPLATES -> jrVideo_item_detail.tpl

Which location is correct depends on how you are developing your site.

--edit--
add {$item.video_description} where you want it to come out.

--edit edit--
Actually, it looks like you called the Form Designer field 'video_video_description' so to output it, its {$item.video_video_description}

Cometchat
Using Jamroom

Strumelia:
Did you add this code to the bottom of your active skin's meta.tpl, underneath the 'head' ?:
</head>
<link type="text/css" href="/cometchat/cometchatcss.php" rel="stylesheet" charset="utf-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/cometchat/cometchatjs.php" charset="utf-8"></script>

Think that should go above the head no? because if not, its going into no-mans-land between /HEAD and the start of BODY.

Suggest that this is the correct code.
<link type="text/css" href="{$jamroom_url}/cometchat/cometchatcss.php" rel="stylesheet" charset="utf-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$jamroom_url}/cometchat/cometchatjs.php" charset="utf-8"></script>
</head>

If your cometchat directory is on the same level as the rest of jamroom stuff.
/cometchat/
/data/
/modules/
/skins/

The reason you want {$jamroom_url} in there in front of it is because that will get you to the correct directory of the base of the jamroom site. It wont matter if your site is on the top level of the url like:
http://yoursite.com

but if you have jamroom in a sub-directory like
http://yoursite.com/jamroom

Then it will point to the correct location.

RSS feed question for specific feed options
Design and Skin Customization

Its only way off because its not RSS feed structure. an RSS feed uses XML send data in a set structure. You need to know the structure you want to achieve. That will be the base for what you need to put in the template.

XML doesn't use div's it uses ITEM, and TITLE and DESCRIPTION and others. eg that page you link to's source code currently looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title></title>
        <description></description>

Put a file in your skin at:
/skins/(YOUR SKIN)/jrProfile_item_rss.tpl

Then adjust the code from there. The best place to start is if you know a place that has the RSS feed structure you want, then copy that that first, put it in your .tpl file and fire it up.

If it works, then you know the structure is good and you can swap out the recurring bits for data coming from your datastore.

Where to Set Quota for Media URL Scanner
Design and Skin Customization

restmin:
Thanks, @Michael. It is the very last step I can't find what I need (and yes, it's active). I can't find "Active Text Formatters" This is the screen I am looking at:
http://restministries.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/text-formatters.gif

sorry to be a ditz

Its there in your screenshot, and it is checked. Right in the middle of the screenshot.

What I can tell from your screenshot is that the "Convert Media URL's" IS active for the "NEW MEMBER" Quota.

What I cant tell is if the "Convert Media URL's" is active for any other quotas.

You need to change the members quota in the drop down to adjust the settings for any other quotas.

Some quick observations on new site builder
Using Jamroom

Awesome feedback gary, thanks.

Liked watching the video of how Visual Composer handles its stuff. For us, perhaps a GUI way of doing it that wrote the settings to a CSS tab within the widget would provide both levels of users with a way to configure it.

Where to Set Quota for Media URL Scanner
Design and Skin Customization

quota settings are found at:
ACP -> (Whichever module your after) -> QUOTA CONFIG

Its a tab on every module that is settable via quotas. So for a question like "I'd like to allow profiles in quota X to have a blog" then it would be:
ACP -> PROFILES -> QUOTA CONFIG -> allowed on profile

The only "Gotcha" is for the "Active Text Formatters" which adjust the way content is displayed, its found at:
ACP -> SYSTEM CORE -> QUOTA CONFIG -> Active Text Formatters

And its for stuff that changes the way other stuff works. Like jrEmbed changes some tag in [ jrEmbed ...] into the actual wanted content. Or changing ; ) into a smiley, or making url's clickable, etc. That sort of stuff.

--edit--
So what your after is:
* make sure the media url scanner is active:
ACP -> MEDIA -> MEDIA URL SCANNER -> INFO -> Module Active

Then you will see " Convert Media URLs (UrlScan) " in the Active Text Formatters at:
ACP -> SYSTEM CORE -> QUOTA CONFIG -> Active Text Formatters

If you want that to be active for everyone in all the quotas, then check the apply to all quotas checkbox before saving. That will make it work for all quotas.

I'm a n00b, and need some help with basic instllation questions..
Installation and Configuration

What I meant by 'live' is, is there a URL on line where you can look at the site.

For example, this site is 'live' at https://www.jamroom.net because you can go to that URL and see the website.

Do you have a URL live for your site?

What BCE?
Genosis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Era

BCE is for more than 2000 years ago. I had to look it up, for me the terms are "bc/ad" where BC is a long time ago and now is 'ad'. But it looks like some scholars have changed the designation.

So if the date is more than 2000 years ago, then check the checkbox. otherwise dont check it.

Hi Lee,

Welcome to the forums. :)

As I understand it, you can see the site is live, but you cant log in.

Try to create an account. After jamroom is installed, the first account you create becomes the 'admin' level user.

Try signing up to your system and see if you can then login with those details.

Releasing marketplace modules from a mapped domain
Jamroom Developers

go to:
IAMTIMBO -> YOUR LICENSES -> look for RELEASE LICENSES

near firstdomain.com.

If your going to go crazy and build a ton of sites, all modules are free on jamroom hosting, so you can kill the hosting and the modules bird with the same stone. :)

--edit--
those instructions are for here on jamroom.net Look up in the top right corner of this page for your IAMTIMBO menu.

--edit--
Should just say "Are you sure you want to release ALL licenses for this host? This will free up the licenses for use on another system", then click confirm.
