New Ning To Jamroom Support Forum


Ning To Jamroom

Got to add...

Personally speaking, on occassion I do love a long, long, vaguely confused and confusing thread - sometimes they are the best. But on a daily basis it becomes a grind pretty quickly, especially when it is calculated to flood attention.

New Ning To Jamroom Support Forum


Ning To Jamroom

If any cms anywhere is really using Wrath in order to survive, all users should bail out now and choose another cms instead.

I;d say Jamroom is the best that I have been lucky enough to find, and I love it. Brian and the team are sooooo far from Wrathful. Which is both nice and a requirement.

ning users are very loud though (from recent experience). If there were a hundred ning refugees here on jamroom.net posting long, long, vaguely confused and confusing threads I'd guess that it would have an impact on development - the support requests would all be answered, but there would be much less time for development.

Questions about managing own server


Ning To Jamroom

Similar to you I don't know enough about servers to run one entirely from the command line. It's not so much the command line, I just don't know what to read to keep myself sufficiently informed in order to remain up to date.

So I "outsource" that to webmin/virtualmin (free software with free docs, roughly equivalent to whm/cpanel), and rely on their expertise. There is a learning curve, but the gui and the help and the emails when you need to update are extremely helpful to me and make it possible (for me) to attempt a non-critical unmanaged server or two.

After reading the virtualmin docs and doing a few installs, if you have any doubts at all just go managed until you have confidence in your ability to run it long-term.

You need this at the top of your module's language file:
// Profile Menu Entry Name
$lang['menu'] = 'quizzes';

Suggestions

Strumelia:
Me and Soaring may have to be a bit careful- just got politely criticized for crowing about JR a little TOO often on Creators... lol

Tell them to go fork an angular project (not too polite I know, but it's Saturday).

Context sensitive menu in Tiny MCE editor?


Ning To Jamroom

There is a context menu plugin in tinymce, I can't look right now but I don't think it is installed for the default jamroom tinymce config, you can add it in the config template though. I have used it recently, and it is handy if you get your comonly used items in the context menu.

gallery oddness (last image dropping below rest)


Design and Skin Customization

That smarty manual is really great for clues. Smarty is really pretty easy to get to grips with, the manual is brief and doesn't have hundreds of pages (which is very cool) yet it releases 1.5 avalanches of additional Jamroom customisation power for each page you read.

A little bit of smarty plus a little bit of css and jquery... MUCH more power, and the next skin on the onion.
