If you want to send that info to support [at] jamroom.net I can try it out for you. But if you do that then you'll need to change the password after I've checked. Best bet is your hosting company.

Try a different FTP client. If that fails too, contact your hosting company. They should have provided instructions on how to FTP into the server when you got the account.

All you should need is:
FTP LOCATION: (usually ) ftp://your-site.com
FTP USERNAME: xxxxxxxxx
FTP PASSWORD: xxxxxxxxx

There's a real old (over a year) video of installing jamroom via FTP here:
Installing jamroom5 via FTP to your host server

It should just be a simple thing with the right credentials.

Can I Non Techie Do This?


Ning To Jamroom

Lora McMeans:...Can I test out the set up on a non published site? Can I set up a test site or practice site???...

You can setup a test site, but it needs a place to be. It is possible to set it up offline on a local server but that means setting up a web-server locally which is pretty complicated. Easier to pay the $7 for a 1 month plan here:
https://www.arvixe.com/jamroom-hosting

And use the 1-click install to get it up and running. You can then put the site into "maintenance mode" from:
ACP -> CORE -> SYSTEM CORE -> GLOBAL CONFIG -> maintenance mode

Then nobody will be able to login or signup or see your site. Only admin level users.

Lora McMeans:...And would I need to be on a server since it would not be live?....
Jamroom only runs on a server, so yes.

You're only wanting to look around and the above idea wont have the ning stuff turned on. Do you know anyone who has installed it already who would be comfortable letting you in as an admin to a running site?

We don't have an admin level demo setup, just the top level demos:

I've got your image, and have deleted the one on the forum. That information's not critical, but its also not public info.

Try adding the FTP port into the box for it in filezilla. There is a chance its not the same as the default one filezilla uses. also make sure you have the ftp.yoursite.com in the FTP box.

Also try
ftp.yoursite.com
ftp://ftp.yoursite.com

Right, then you need to get that connection working to progress. Double check that username. Its the same as the domain name.

Event image not showing on front page on JRElastic Skin


Design and Skin Customization

The best place to look for the list structure is in the module's item_list.tpl file. so for events thats at:
ACP -> MODULES -> PROFILES -> PROFILE EVENTS -> TEMPLATES -> item_list.tpl

You were almost there with your code, but you have a capital E in the variable names $row.Event_image_size and a few other locations. Use {debug} to find the correct variable names in the templates.

"{debug}"
http://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1477/debug

Here is some working code to get you going:
{jrCore_module_url module="jrEvent" assign="murl"}
{if isset($_items)}
    {jrCore_module_url module="jrEvent" assign="murl"}
    {foreach $_items as $item}
        <div class="container">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col2">
                    <div class="block_image">

                        {if isset($item.event_image_size) && $item.event_image_size > 0}
                            {jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrEvent" type="event_image" item_id=$item._item_id size="small" crop="auto" alt=$item.event_title title=$item.event_title class="iloutline iindex"}
                        {else}
                            {jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrProfile" type="profile_image" item_id=$item._profile_id size="small" crop="auto" alt=$item.profile_name title=$item.profile_name class="iloutline iindex"}
                        {/if}
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="col10">
                    <a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.event_title_url}">{$item.event_title}</a><br/>
                    <span class="normal">{$item.event_date|jrCore_date_format:"%A %B %e %Y, %l:%M %p"}{if $item.event_end_day} {jrCore_lang module="jrEvent" id="64" default="-"} {$item.event_end_day|jrCore_date_format:"%A %B %e %Y, %l:%M %p"}{/if}</span>
                    {if isset($item.event_location) && strlen($item.event_location) > 0}
                        <br>
                        <span class="normal">@ {$item.event_location|jrCore_strip_html|truncate:60}</span>
                    {/if}
                    {if isset($item.event_description) && strlen($item.event_description) > 0}
                        <br>
                        <span class="normal">{$item.event_description|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|jrCore_strip_html|truncate:180}</span>
                    {/if}
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    {/foreach}
{/if}

p.s. Your code reads "If the event image has been uploaded, show that, if not, show the users profile image." Thats why your seeing the profile image.

NOT FOUND The page you requested was not found!


Installation and Configuration

You're questions are are jumping around a bit. Lets take things one step at a time.

You have jamroom installed here:
www.inspiramoments.com/inspirahome

Its un-clear why you think there should be something at the url which is "Not Found". Did you click on a link from somewhere pointed to there?

In your attached picture, it shows filezilla but it is not connected to your server. You can tell that by the right hand pane reading "Not connected to any server"

What is it your trying to achieve? Install Jamroom? If so, you need to be connected to your server via the credentials your hosting company gave you in order to be able to upload.

Nova Blog Images not showing


Design and Skin Customization

Not a good way to do it, the way I showed you is better. If you have any embeded content in the first 300 characters of your text, you risk cutting the output of that off and breaking the layout of your page.

I guess you'll be fine if you dont use the embed module early on though.
