A few remaining issues in member images galleries


Ning To Jamroom

Try the new version 1.4.2.

The url is:
https://YOUR-SITE.com/(profile)/gallery/all

There is a link to it from the bottom of the galleries list on the profile.

jrPoll embed and jrUpimg_allowed

SteveX:
I discovered the lang_documentaton one after a while of scratching my head and checking my spelling dozens of times - couldn't see why it wasn't working, until I saw that I had to misspell it in order for it to work.

Not sure about jrDocs_item_index_order_button or why it has no alt text, I noticed it in the html output rather than in the code.
Ah its a spelling mistake in the variable. I see that now. Didn't before. "documentation" is missing the "i".

getting some link 'pages not found'....


Ning To Jamroom

mmm. not seeing the same issue but I dont have older ning versions though.

I did:
* clone jrNingja 1.0.14 to nsTCLSkin1
* go to skins -> nsTCLSkin1 -> templates -> index.tpl -> modify
* compare with jrNingja 1.0.14

The template appeared. Need to go get some lunch now, back to investigating after that.

thechocolatelife:....Doesn't solve the confusing breadcrumb issue....
No Fair! You can't add confusing code then complain that the code is confusing. ;)

this:
{$profile_url}/gallery/{$profile_url}
Isn't in any code that we have released. Where'd you get it from?

--edit--
I can see what your wanting to do. I'll check it out.

thechocolatelife:
Compare is still throwing out 404 errors for me.
This is how it should be working:

"Using the Compare tool to keep cloned skins up to date"

Could you elaborate on "throwing errors" please.

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


Ning To Jamroom

Paul:

My site is sitting in a directory with an add-on domain properly configured (as you may remember).

www.thechocolatelife.info/thechocolatelife/
thechocolatelife.thechocolate.info/

When I update the DNS (Godaddy is the registrar) these will appear as www.thechocolatelife.com

How much of what you recommend to @soaringeagle will I need to do as a part of the DNS change?

Probably most of it, but no need to over-think it, just do it as part of the change. See if its working, correct as needed.

Jamroom uses the {$jamroom_url} variable in a lot of places, that corresponds to the base url of the site. updating config.php will reset that so the links are right.

site builder diy seo help


Using Jamroom

The "On-site SEO" should be fine. What you need to deal with after that is the "OFF-site SEO". Thats what they will be charging for.

The cheapest way to get that done is to: Provide great content.

---
When people use the search engines, they are not searching for the site with the best SEO package, they are searching for "The answer to the question they have." If your site has the answer to the question they are asking, then they will find you. because the whole purpose of the search engines is not "To serve up the sites who have the best SEO package", its "to help people find stuff".

Their whole business model is based around helping people find stuff.

You just need to be the one with the best answer to the question they are asking.

The SEO industry of selling packages works because people want searchers to come to their stuff that is NOT the answer to the question they are asking.

eg: you have a site about "blue widgets" and you want anybody searching on "red widgets" to come to your "blue widgets" page because they might be interested. Its not on target so others sites that do have "red widgets" get higher search results. You pay an SEO company to go around putting up links to your "blue widgets" page with the link-text of "Red widgets" thinking that it might trick the search engines into sending people searching on "Red widgets" to your "Blue widgets" page. It used to work. Doesn't now.

Just make your site on topic and people will come.

unusual code need for unusual site "i was never here" history/cache/.cookie eraser


Design and Skin Customization

The firefox browser has a built in system for private browsing. Its under the File menu and is called "New Private Window".

The short cut for it is ctrl+shift+p

If you browse the web using that setting the history will not be recorded when the browser is shut.
