Date drop down showing date when not entered

Design and Skin Customization

The _created date on a datastore item should never change. That is the date the item went into the datastore.

The _updated date changes everytime the item is edited and saved.

jrCore_confirm_media_file_is_local returns array

Jamroom Developers

The code doesn't look like it should return an array.

Whats in the array?

That function will fire either:
_jrCloudS3_s3_media_confirm_is_local()
OR
_jrCore_local_media_confirm_is_local()

depending on whether the server is a cloud or not.

Those functions then both look at the if the file exists or not and if it does exist returns the file.

In the case of the cloud, the checking function is:
_jrCloudS3_s3_media_read()

The only place an 'array' looks like it could creep in is when that function returns the 'Body' part of the object as the contents:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/latest/class-Aws.S3.S3Client.html#_getObject

Looks like that should not be an array though.

We've got an "email course" system module that's almost release ready. (Just not getting any love because other things are higher priority.)

It allows for signups to a list that then sends timed emails from the point of signup:
* day 1 "some welcome email sent."
* day 2 "other title that you put."
* day 5 "Do you remember us?"
* day x "other thing here... "

Could use that to incentivise them giving you their email.

Bump this thread if it doesn't come out by the time Site Builder gets out of beta.

Jamroom + FaceBook/Share This!

Installation and Configuration

Its not setup by default, I'll see if we cant get some docs up on the steps to take to get SSL setup on Jamroom Hosting.

One of the steps is to purchase an SSL certificate from one of the cert sellers. Its basically someone else who vouches that your site is your site.

Is it possible to automatically display all profiles in a gallery?

Using Jamroom


That's kind of the intention of the top level of the site. The admin user who setup the community also sets up the top level of the site to showcase the content of the site.

Visitors come to the site and browse the top level for new or show-cased content.

When they find some interesting content they can click on links that take them to the canonical location for that content which is on the users profile.

So its inferred that the onus is on the admin user (the creator of the site) to decide how to showcase the content of the members.

The 'Site Builder' system is the intended structure building system for admin users who prefer not to look at code, but want to create structure on their sites top level.

That function brian gave above is what your after there:

That will return the file if its there, or FALSE if it isn't.

Its a wrapper function that alters how it checks depending on whether the file system is local or cloud.

To make files executable is a feature of linux. Files are not automatically executable.

Heres how:
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/linux/7.1_chmod_-_Make_a_file_executable

Check that imagemagic is installed on your server.

For me to install on ubuntu linux the command would be:
But it will be different for you if you are not running a debian derivative of linux.

Need to check with your server admin guy to figure out which linux is installed.

signup page

Using Jamroom

It doesn't have a template, its a form.

There is docs on adding the login form to a template here:

That URL has some strange components to it.

If it was 'raw url encoded' then you would expect to see all spaces as %20 which there are.
If it was 'not encoded' you would expect to see spaces as spaces which are shown.
If it was 'url encoded' you would expect to see spaces as + signs, we have those too.

What you would not expect to see is a combination of all three. That is weird.
