Can I Non Techie Do This?


Installation and Configuration

Screwed, sorry.

Joking. :)

There are a few Ning users here who are helping us understand what Ning users need, so we're doing our best to make the system work for Ning users. I think you'll see posts from other ning users in the forums and they will be the ones most able to help ease the transition to Jamroom.

At its base, Jamroom is a development system built by developers for developers who then add to the system to make it easier for non-developers.

So where that leaves you: Not all the things that Jamroom is capable of are accessible without looking at code. But we also don't know what it is that your wanting to do.

So if your willing to make an effort in explaining what it is that you need, then we'll try hard to make that accessible to you without having to look at code.

You can help us improve the system for non-tech people. If you want to.

Dashboard error message
Using Jamroom

If you want to enable the du function then you'd do that in php.ini. If you want to hide the message, use the settings button on the dashboard.

rotator comment and question
Using Jamroom

Nobody's going to stick around while 100 slides rotate. Better to set it to a lower number on random so randomly show 10 slides that change when the cache refreshes.

If you want to turn the pager off, you can do that at:
ACP -> SITE BUILDER -> CONSTRUCTION KIT -> TEMPLATES -> rotator.tpl -> MODIFY

Change:
pager: true,
to
pager: false,

to hide the numbers.

The slider is this one: http://responsiveslides.com/ there is a demo with buttons on the demo page:
http://responsiveslides.com/themes/themes.html

Looks like if you add in nav: true, you'll get the buttons your after. Need to put a bit of CSS on there to make them look nice though.
        $("#s{$unique_id}").responsiveSlides({
            auto: true,          {* Boolean: Animate automatically, true or false *}
            speed: 400,          {* Integer: Speed of the transition, in milliseconds *}
            timeout: 4000,       {* Integer: Time between slide transitions, in milliseconds *}
            pager: false,         {* Boolean: Show pager, true or false *}
            nav: true,
            random: true,        {* Boolean: Randomize the order of the slides, true or false *}
            pause: true,         {* Boolean: Pause on hover, true or false *}
            maxwidth: 0,         {* Integer: Max-width of the slideshow, in pixels *}
            namespace: "rslides" {* String: change the default namespace used *}
        });

Account Name / Member Name confusion (or is it just me?)
Installation and Configuration

Try clearing your caches, and running the integrity check. I just wrote to a forum here, then changed the profile name and refreshed the top page and the name changed.

If that doesn't fix it, post the code you are using for that section here and i'll try here with that.

thechocolatelife:....What will it take to get it updated?....
Sounds like a bribe attempt. :)

--edit--
actually I think something is wrong. Don't need anything from you. I can see the issue.

sitebuilder ez add slider and slideshow
Suggestions

Here's a walkthrough of customizing the rotator to get audio files rotating.

"Site Builder: How to create a featured audio rotator"
https://www.jamroom.net/site-builder/documentation/development/2400/how-to-create-a-featured-audio-rotator

It still needs more, so I'll finish it off tomorrow. Examples of what you want to rotate would be useful.

Reusing id numbers in language files - confusing?
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:.....at the template code (ahhh, but which template?....
/skins/(your skin)/profile_index.tpl

Thats the file for the top of a profile. From there you look for the section you want to alter, by searching for "Latest". There might be an included file that handles that section, something like:
{jrCore_include template="profile_index_music.tpl"}

So go look in that for any code thats not shown.
/skins/(your skin)/profile_index_music.tpl
In there you will see:
<h3>{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="20" default="Latest"} {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="14" default="Music"}   .........

That tells you that its the skins language file #20 that is responsible for the first word.

If its ONLY that location you want to change it and you're not translating your site into other languages, then go ahead and use the text right there and skip the language system all together.
<h3>Latest Uploaded {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="14" default="Music"}   .........

Should have been sorted in 5.2.20. Did you run an integrity check? Which pages are you seeing it on?
