adding language strings

Design and Skin Customization

Just to be clear, you dont need to use the language system. Its there for those that want to translate their site into another language. If your site is only english, you can choose to not-use the language system and just put the text in directly.

So in locations where you see:
you could just use Blogs directly in the template if you wanted to.

Skin Error

Design and Skin Customization

Your using the Site Builder system that still in beta.

Please put any beta testing issues in this forum:
https://www.jamroom.net/site-builder/forum/beta-testers

The issue is you have defined a template, but the template doesn't exist. Remove the template name from the widget to display it as default.

Sounds like you want a way to rename locations.

You can work on it in 'new_homepage' then when its ready, rename it to 'index' to have it appear as the homepage.

I'll add that in.

slate/sitebuilder question

Ning To Jamroom

It will be added into jrNingja. Just making sure its all good now, then it will be released.

The menu items will look the same as they do now on jrNingja.

I've got an interface built for the Site builder system to construct Seamless queries now. You fill out the form, it builds the code.

After building the interface and doing a bit of testing, it surprised me. I've always thought, "Yeah, its for combining all the audio stuff together and all the video stuff together." but it can combine anything you want that has a datastore.

Here's the docs:

"Seamless"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/289/seamless

Here's the example code to start playing with it:

That reads in english: "Get me a list of the latest 3 items from either Youtube or Vimeo."

but you can just as easily ask for "Get me a list of the latest 3 items from Audio or Events or Blogs." and you'll still get the latest 3 of whatever is newer. Its cool.

setting additional admins confusion

Ning To Jamroom

Could be something being missed when the import happens.

My first guess would be to go to one of the users who you cant do it on, figure out their user_id then look for the 'user_group' in the database.

I suspect that if that was missing that might cause what your describing. It shouldn't be missing, but it shouldn't be happening so got to start somewhere right.

You can see the ID of their user account in that ACCOUNT tab, in the url. it will be something like:

Then in your database (I like phpmyadmin to browse it. you can get there from your servers control panel.) you will locate a table 'jr_user_item_key'

The attached screenshot shows phpmyadmin showing the user_group for user_id=1. You'd locate whatever id the user is you want to know about. (sorry if thats confusing. Its WAY more in depth than you should ever need to go to just run jamroom.)

The site builder system will take care of the drag-n-drop functionality.

the jrSeamless module is the one that combines lists, like the youtube,videos,vimeo. I haven't done much testing with seamless and the site builder system, so will go take a look at that now.

Then I'll keep reading.....

setting additional admins confusion

Ning To Jamroom

Promoting an account to admin should be as easy as going to that account as an admin user. Click on their image to get to their PROFILE account settings page. then change to the ACCOUNT tab (to adjust the user).

under "master admin options" there is "User Group". Change that from STANDARD USER to MASTER ADMIN and it that user is an admin.

Moved the site builder stuff over to this profile.

Using Jamroom

I've moved all the site builder stuff over to this profile's marketplace:
https://www.jamroom.net/site-builder/networkmarket

Should all work the same, let me know if you see any issues.

Cheers.
