Can I Non Techie Do This?

Installation and Configuration

Yeah Ningja is ready for Site Builder. Turn on the modules which are now in the STABLE channel and you will see the top section of your jrNing skin disappear. All the content will go away.

This is because Site Builder is wanting you to add the content. No issue though, you can import a default .json package via:

ACP -> SITE BUILDER -> TOOLS -> IMPORT

Right now, you would need a .json file to upload. From the next version of the jrNingja skin that file will be packaged with the skin, so you might want to wait for that.

If you don't want to wait, I'll attach it as a zip file here.

Not getting enough complaints about things not working anymore for the Site Builder so moved it to the STABLE channel.

Docs are here:
https://www.jamroom.net/site-builder/documentation/

--edit--
You'd need to unzip that file to get the .json file to upload. Cant attach .json files to the forum.

Installation and Configuration

equals sign explained

{$foo = "bar"}

Is an assignment. You are assigning $foo the value "bar". So using {$foo} after that will output "bar".

{if $foo == "bar"}

Is a check. Its checking, "Is the value of $foo, 'bar'".

{if $foo === "bar"}

Is an explicit check. Its almost the same as the double == but is more strict. for things like 0. zero can also mean false or empty so with double equals $foo == 0 and $foo == '' and $foo == false are all the same. But with 3 equals signs, they are all different. $foo === 0 and it HAS to be 0, not '' or 'false'.

Its just a more strict check.

Text Permissions

Using Jamroom

Not able to reproduce here.

What i did:
* with jrSlate set as the active skin
* go to ACP -> SYSTEM CORE -> QUOTA CONFIG
* uncheck a few of the active text formatters
* click "Save Changes"
* go to ACP -> SKINS -> NINGJA -> Set as active skin
* return to ACP -> SYSTEM CORE -> QUOTA CONFIG
* add a few more check marks -> Save Changes

Went around like that a few times but am un-able to make it fail.

Could you provide steps to see it happening please so I can check it out.

Thanks

Asking for input - New Header and Menu concept

Installation and Configuration

I like that style of layout. Its very similar to the Slate skins one.

Rotate uploaded images

Installation and Configuration

Yup, my complaint is they stopped supporting flash for linux.

Tried to play a .swf file in a local player the other day, took HOURS to get something that worked. All I wanted was to pause the damn thing.

Embedding images as icons or thumbnails

Using Jamroom

The lightbox system is done via javascript. There is no way to make it fire without looking at code.

So by JUST using the WYSIWYG editor there is no way currently implemented.

If you wanted to implement it, you'd need to figure out a way to understand what images you wanted targeted. ( perhaps all the images placed into the WYSIWYG editor)

Then put some script in perhaps the skins footer to fire off the lightbox.

It would be a skin level implementation, not something that would be done by default for all skins.

PayPal Buy It Now

Installation and Configuration

There is no module for ticket sales yet. You could sell tickets if you posted the tickets out, but individually numbering tickets for events system does not exist.

You could sell Files and add that file to the events so the file is for sale from the event page, but there would be no way to ensure that that file was only printed/used once.

sitebuilder ez add slider and slideshow

Suggestions

Super big thanks for all your effort in letting others know about Jamroom. Its not something we're particularly strong at, marketing, so all word of mouth stuff is really precious.

Much appreciated.

Proxima Question

Installation and Configuration

We're good at writing code. Not so great with marketing speak. What should the usage chart look like?

Undeleting profile

Using Jamroom

I'm assuming by "Label" that that is a quota you have created. What is a "Label Artist"? Is it one of the profiles that the Power user in the "Label" quota has created?

Each user has a "home profile" you can get that profiles data from the templates via:
{jrUser_home_profile_key key="profile_url"}

where key is whatever profile key you want.

If you could provide steps to on how to setup what you have and outline what your trying to figure out it might be easier to offer a solution.
