It helps us out a bunch if forum threads have the title of the question in them. That way users searching later can see that the title matches what they ask and see its marked 'solved' so know they can get an answer.

When threads go on and on with many questions, nobody tends to re-read them looking for answers. So if possible would you put new questions in threads so other users can find them.

We might build a chat module, but its not high priority because one already exists that works provided by cometchat. Higher priority than things that already exist is stuff that doesn't exist yet.

So if you need chat, then go with cometchat. Ask Strumelia about it, I she's got it installed.

Using Jamroom

The issues could be related. Get the Audio (SOX binary executable) working on your server first then try again.

No sense in trying to figure out what the problem is if the server isn't working correctly.

After that, check the Activity log to see if it shows anything.

Adding an RSS feed from my own site into an activity page on my own site

Design and Skin Customization


Which page? The code you can put on any page you like. You could create a new page by adding a file to:

/skins/YOUR SKIN/somepage.tpl

and that will show up at:
your-site.com/somepage

You could put it there.

This doc also deals with RSS feeds and is pretty step-by-step

"HowTo: Form Designer + Aparna = Custom Page Module with RSS feed"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/howto/2463/howto-form-designer-aparna-custom-page-module-with-rss-feed

Do you NEED it to be an rss feed? because you can get anything from your sites datastores directly using the {jrCore_list.....} function.

"{jrCore_list}"

The twitterish way to do it would be to 'share this' which would add their post to your timeline. Or send a message with their name in it:

"hi there @whoever , thanks for the great post you made about us!"
That will show up in their MENTIONS section of their timeline.

On activity timeline posts that were actually written, not just an update of something you will see 'comments:0' if you click on that you can go leave a comment on the activity post.

adding a module template

Jamroom Developers

Good stuff.

(share this)

Using Jamroom

The policy of modules is to keep them to a minimum because its easier to add in what you need than it is to take stuff away.

Adding those locations is not something that feels like it would fit for the default usage of the module because it requires awareness of what other modules are in the system.

Glad you got it working on your site though. Good job.

trouble with all skin images (title updates)

Installation and Configuration

got this fixed for the next core 5.2.30.

Thanks for the screenshot.

ShareThis Syntax Error

Design and Skin Customization

Yeah its going to be the main reason that javascript pasted in is going to fail. Super easy to fix up if you know why its happening.

Most pieces of javascript that you get from around the place make the (wrong) assumption that you will be pasting it into HTML pages.

Three quick questions about Groups

Installation and Configuration

3. the batch editor is for making mass updates to datastore items. It can probably handle deleting a bunch of group stuff.

Probably better if there is a ton of it is to construct a nice SQL query to do it in one go. Thats not copy+paste stuff though. When you need it, let me know.

2. First thoughts are add an admin only Form Designer field with the id's of the groups you want to get rid of (or keep whichever way is easier)...... Then surround the group wall in the templates with a check for those id's to hide that section.

There are a couple of other ways to do it too, the key point in choosing the way is going to be: "How do you select whether the wall should be shown or not. Who gets to do that, the admin user or the profile owner."

Adding a menu the main menu of Projam5 Light

Design and Skin Customization

The Site Builder system is being built to address that problem. We're finalizing a new version of it that should be easier to use now. Keep an eye out for it soon.

For now though, just like Douglas said, upload a file to your skin:
/skins/(YOUR SKIN)/somename.tpl

will come out at
your-site.com/somename

So use whatever name you like. If you want a page at your-site.com/hippos then make the file at
/skins/(YOUR SKIN)/hippos.tpl

and whatever you put in there will appear.

Check out the index.tpl file in your skin to see how to get the header and footer in there.
