Jamroom Developers


The debate is between "Do I have one profile for the whole site where users contribute to" vs "Does each profile have their own forum."

An example would be right now we are typing on the forum on the profile for "the-jamroom-network" on jamroom.net. Its a Profile forum because it resides on a specific profile.

VS PhpBB which would be on the top level of the site, not on any one persons profile.

At jamroom.net we use the forum on the-jamroom-network's profile to handle the general site business, then other developers also have their own forums to handle their business.

You can say "Hi" to SteveX of UltraJam over on his forum here:
https://www.jamroom.net/ultrajam/forum

Each profile has a forum. Hence "Profile Forums". If you compare that to the old way we used to do it with jamroom 4
http://archive.jamroom.net/phpBB2/index.php

You can see the section for "Jamroom Solution Providers" at the bottom. That was a single forum for the site with sections for each of the developers.

So is "each profile gets its own forum" vs "one forum with separate sections for xxxxxx"

Glad you like it, we do.

In case anyone hasn't found it yet, Strumelia is talking about this:

going live on new domain in hours need clarification on new base url tool

Installation and Configuration


* update the name servers so thechocolatelife.com points to the server with jamroom installed.
* edit the /data/config/config.php file.

It probably looks like this:

That will change to:

(assuming that the root folder of thechocolatelife.com contains the jamroom install and the jamroom install is not in thechocolatelife.com/thechocolatelife )

Then follow the steps in "Somethings wrong what do I do?"

Follow the same steps after you think all is good, just to check.

rotator comment and question

Using Jamroom

jrCore_list has a setting for no_cache so that might work, or cache_seconds. The rotator uses jrCore_list to get the images.

Installation and Configuration

Just checked, skysa bar works fine. Might need some customization to get it connected to the login system, not sure.

Keep your domain names at godaddy, that's fine. I do too. But don't use their hosting ( Please ).

Hosting is just renting some space on a computer somewhere that's always on and connected to a really fast internet connection. Hosting companies usually compete on price per month and say "Unlimited (something)" but nothing is ever really unlimited.

Lately we have put a new tool into jamroom sites. All you owners can find it here:
ACP -> CORE -> TOOLS -> PERFORMANCE CHECK

Once you have done the PERFORMANCE CHECK, click the "Share Your Results" button to let everyone know.

That Performance Check system is still new lora, so we don't have a public list of speeds up yet. Its coming.

Hosting is important.
The key things to look for are:
* good speed from the system
* good support from the company
* common control system so its easy to change ( cpanel is the most common )

Do many people who use ning use skysa? Seams like that could be integrated fairly easily.

There was sorry. I just updated the marketplace with all 4 modules and slate skin just now.

See if that sorts it out.

rotator comment and question

Using Jamroom

Turn the pager off and go with 100 per time then. If it takes too long to load, cut it down.

Its your site, have it your way.

--edit--
use the crop="" feature to get the image into the aspect ratio you like.
