multiple profile owner question

Ning To Jamroom

get them to create their own profile first. They can upload to that profile as long as that is allowed in their quota.

Then you as the admin link their user account to the rainbowgatheringmusic profile and they will be able to upload to that account too.

Jamroom Hosting - looking for a few beta testers

Jamroom Hosting

TIP: Here is how I handle all the domain names i currently own. Its really good setup that I would recommend to anyone.

I use godaddy.com or maddogdomains.com to buy the domain names because they are the cheapest I have found. Definitely do NOT use godaddy hosting. Just the domain name from them.

You then update the NS registers there to point to whoever you use for hosting.

What this setup means is whenever you decide you want to move to a new hosting company you control the NS setup.

It returns the control to you rather than the hosting company.

Take this scenario:
* you want to move hosting companies because they were good, but now they suck. (pretty typical scenario in hosting)

With the setup above, the scenario goes like this:
* you upload your site to the new host
* you change the NS at godaddy
* you tell your old hosting company what you think of them and close the account.

If you have your domain name WITH the hosting company the scenario isnt as much fun, it goes:
* you choose a new host and upload your site there
* you ask the hosting company politely to please send them your domain because you no longer want to use their services
* you wait patently for them to help you (who is no longer a customer)

Summary:
keep control of your domain name by keeping it separate from your hosting.

Out-of-the-Box Setups

Suggestions

There is no 'base setup' except for how you set it up. Each of the skin has a different setup depending on the purpose its intended for. If its a suggestion for a specific skin, which one? Clicking on the logo is pretty standard behavior to take you back to the top page. Yahoo uses it, google uses it, I think most sites have that convention.

The reason image requirements is a on by default. (you can disable it in the skin config) is that stuff without images make the site not look so nice.

This forum is the jrForum module.

"Profile Forum"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/62/profile-forum

Its on the profile 'the-jamroom-network'. So to have the same setup on your system, choose one profile to act as the system profile. Put it in its own quota and only let that quota have the forum module enabled.

Thanks very much for the feedback. Its always appreciated.

Homepage not visible to logged out users

Using Jamroom

If you change profile_tabs.tpl then you will be changing it for every profile regardless of quota. You could add normal links in there, but its not the nicest way to go.

What you can do that should be easier, is to locate the {jrProfile_menu} call in the profile_header.tpl file and add some parameters to it

"{jrProfile_menu}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1997/jrprofile-menu

I think what you want to add is the always_show parameter

so
perhaps.

Its not site builder related, its normal behaviour. If a profile has access to a module but has not yet uploaded or created anything on that module, there will be nothing shown to visitors but admin and the profile owner will see the buttons so they can click on them to create items there.

eg:
/michael

has access to use the blog system but if 'michael' has not created any blog items yet, then the blog button will not show to users who are just casually browsing that profile. WHY? because there would be nothing to see when they clicked on it.

'index' already exists. index is the default name for when a file is not specified.

so
your-site.com/
and
your-site.com/index

are both index.tpl in your skin.

System Core update issue

Installation and Configuration

should be much quicker than that. usually a couple of minutes if there are a lot of things to update.

Might need to download the core and upload it via FTP. Check the activity logs before that though.

Another thing to think about is how you installed it. If you installed it via 1-click softaculous, then you can update via that too.

Edited Discussion, Now Partially Gone

Ning To Jamroom

re-edit the post again. Take a look at the code, the editor may have done something to hide it. the "look at the code" button in the editor looks kind of like this <>

first guess would be you have copied the read-more page break from the top to the bottom. It should be invisible though.

No Spellcheck? I'm surprised

Suggestions

Its built into the browser. I use firefox and it works on any text area. Are you using the editor in your forums? Is there a spell checker extension? If there is it can be turned on.

Build Selected Pages Only in Site Builder?

Ning To Jamroom


Back it up. Auto backups should be kicking of every day. You can revert to them from the IMPORT tool in the Site Builder - Panels module.

To do a manual backup go to
ACP -> SITE BUILDER -> PANELS -> TOOLS -> EXPORT.

Check all the checkboxes for all the menu items you have created and EXPORT. then DOWNLOAD it to keep a local copy so you can import it anywhere. Peace of mind.
