How to add the who is online for the entire site?

Using Jamroom

Hello,

How to add the "Who is online" module for the entire site similar to the one at the bottom of the jamroom forum? How to add it at the bottom of the entire site (or any other place including the home page) and get it shown in both desktop and mobile/tablet?

I have read this post:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/design-and-skin-customization/35551/who-is-online

but there seems to be two posts (solutions): one from Douglas and the other one from Paul. Which one to follow? i am confused.

Thanks

Changes through the Template editor not showing on the site

Hi Michael,

Thanks a lot. You are right. Sorry about that. Sometimes there are related questions that come to mind when writing and we end up posting them in the same topic. Next time I will pay more attention.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply. That idea is awesome. But what if there are critical updates done on the native skin, the clone skin will remain vulnerable, right?

In case of updates, should we need to compare the new updated skin file (native skin file) with the clone skin, then manually apply the update to the clone skin in order to do not loose the modification done in the clone skin? Please clarify.

Also what about skin files edited outside JR then uploaded to the server through ftp, will JR pick up the change and save it to the database after running the integrity check as it does when creating language strings?

Thanks

Hi Jimmy

Thanks for your reply. Great tips on running in Developer Mode and editing module templates. I have been using Dreamweaver to edit my files. Maybe I should give phpstorm a try.

Nice video resources. JR team has done a great work.

Thanks

Hi Douglas

It works. Thanks a lot. Sorry I completely forgot about that small detail. I was checking the "Set As Active Skin" checkbox in the "Skins" tab instead of the "make active" checkbox in the "Template" tab. Maybe I need more cups of coffee.

Also, you forgot to answer the two remaining questions in my first post. Please advise.

Thanks

Creating a Page

Using Jamroom


Hi Brian,

Thanks for your reply.

1) Ok

2) Ok

3) Instead of the code you posted (the if statement), what about if I create some language strings and use the {JrCore_lang} fonction? Isn't it going to work?

I am asking because I have 4 languages on the site. Using the "if statement" I may end up having a very long and heavy website page since the text I am planning to put on that page is too long and contains images. Isn't it going to increase the page weight? Please advise.

4) Any clue on the custom code that can be used to translate the meta tag?

Can the "if statement" handle it?

e.g.:

{if $_user.user_language == 'en-US'}
Meta tags in english here
{elseif $_user.user_language == 'es-ES'}
Meta tags in spanish here
{elseif $_user.user_language == 'fr-FR'}
Meta tags in french here
{/if}

5) Well, How to make a page a module? Will it still act like a page?

Thanks

Hello,

Using the template editor, I am working on a skin that I've cloned. Why aren't the changes in the editor showing on the site???? I have been trying to edit the header.tpl for hours now. Nothing happens.

The Template editor just saves the file fine. I clear JR cache and check integrity, even clear my Browser cache, still the changes made in the skin does show on the site. What is wrong?

Also, what is the difference between editing a skin template through the built-in template editor and editing it via ftp using an external Dev software (Dreamweaver for example), then overwrite the file on the server using a ftp client (example: filezilla)? What are the Pros and the cons?

The built-in template editor is really uncomfortable to work with.

Last question: I have cloned the Elastic Skin. What about if the Elastic skin gets updated through the Marketplace, will my cloned skin also get update? Will i loose my modifications?

Thanks

How To Build a Multilingual Site Using The Site Builder?

Using Jamroom

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your efforts to help but I have just given up on the site builder. It isn't ready for a multilingual system yet. I am building my multilingual site manually using template.

Thanks.

How to track and log Profile Admin activities after login?

Using Jamroom


Thanks. I will google for it and even post to Joomla forum. We will try to find our way to fix it.


Nice sales pitch Brian!

Thanks, we will think about it. We are satisfied with our hosting provider. When we will need to move to another one, we will let you know.

We've started using Joomla before JR. We have being using it for years now and we have thousands of users, articles, documents etc. Joomla suits our needs.

Joomla as a CMS does thousands of things that JR as CMS can't even do (at least till now, maybe in the future things will change). We are using JR to deliver audio and videos only not as CMS. That is why it is installed in a subfolder. As an Audio/Video Sharing Software, Jamroom is the BEST in the world. You guyz have done an outstanding work. Hats off!

Thanks
