Video Genre Field
Using Jamroom

Hi Douglas,

Once again, thanks for the Support.

douglas:

Sorry, in the ProJam skins, the genre tab I'm referring to is on the left side, not right. There should be a tab next to the Stats and Online tabs at the top left of the music and video pages. If you are not seeing it, then you are probably not using all of the latest templates.

Did you modify the music.tpl via the skins template editor?

Sorry, still not seeing it. I don't see it on the JR demo page either: http://demo.jamroomnetwork.com/music

Can you send me a link from the JR demo where I can see it?

douglas:
No, it will not change the music to audio in the URL, that link will not work because the template for the music page is named music.tpl and if you try using audio, it will use the jrAudio/templates/index.tpl instead of the ProJam skins music template.

So, how to get rid of the text "music" in the url?

When the JR5 development started, we have been told by JR Team that the new JR will be more flexibe to fit any Media industry. (a kind of General use media CMS, not for artists and musics only unlike JR4 yet with more generic words like "audio" etc).

How will I show conferences, debates, podcasts under a URL called "music"? It won't make sens to my users.

douglas:
If I ever get some free time, I'll see about adding a genre page.

I know you will :) Thanks for everything you guyz are doing for us.

Thanks

SteveX:
There is a module which will cope with category/genre listing. It's being tested on a client site at the moment and will probably be in the Marketplace next week once description and documentation are written.

Hi Steve,

Sounds interesting. More details please. What is the module about?
Any demo?

Thanks

Here's a youtube video on adding that video genre field for the admin user.

"Using the Form Designer"
Using the Form Designer tool

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the link, It is very informative. I like the tutorial. The Form Designer is definitely a powerful and flexible tool. Nice job to the JR Team.

Well, about genre/category page, I was talking about something like this: http://www.youtube.com/sports

By the way, I saw the following message when visiting the Form design:

Quote:
The following designer forms have not been setup yet for this module:

video/update
video/create_album


What does it mean and what step to undertake?

Thanks

Quotas Comparison Matrix
Using Jamroom

Hi,

Where is the Quotas Comparison Matrix in JR5? I couldn't locate it. We used to have it in JR4. I would like to compare Quotas side by side.

Thanks.

Video Genre Field
Using Jamroom

@Douglas

Thanks a lot for the great support.

douglas:
Not without making some major modifications to how the music/video templates work. They are already complicated templates as it is and is one of the main reasons for the drop down genre selection, that and so the URL didn't show the search_area=audio_genre etc...

Ok got you. Also, I was wondering why JR Team switched from the drop down genre selection to the genre input field (genres being manually entered by users). Now I get your point.

douglas:
If you are using ProJam, make sure you have the latest templates, there is a drop down in the genre tab on the right side of the music/video pages that has a dynamic drop down for genres/categories on your site.

Sorry Douglas, I don't see either a genre tab nor a drop down. I am using ProJam 1.0.8. Are you sure they are there?

douglas:
You can go to the ACP > Skins > Language tab and change the text there, this way when you upgrade, your changes will not be effected since they get saved to the database. That goes for the module language tabs as well.

Changing the text "music" to "audio" from ACP > Skins > Language tab, will it also change the text "music" from the modification you gave me?

Instead of having:
<a href="{$jamroom_url}/music/search_area=audio_genre/search_string={$item.audio_genre}">{$item.audio_genre}</a>

will we have:

<a href="{$jamroom_url}/audio/search_area=audio_genre/search_string={$item.audio_genre}">{$item.audio_genre}</a>

note: "music" was replaced with "audio"

douglas:
You can use a jrCore_list function to show a genre/category page, just add a group_by="audio_genre" to the function to list one of each genre on your site. The same would go for the video_category.

Well, I must confess to you that won't be easy for me. :)
Hope, one day you guyz will add genre/category page to skins like in Youtube.

Thanks

oh, got you now! I thought it was a core module. You are right, I don't have it installed. I am going to install it.

Thanks a lot.

Is ProJam Light version 1.0.8, the latest version? It is the one I am running. Still I can't figure out how to active the custom forms module. I don't even find it.

Please help.

Thanks.
