What do you love about Jamroom 5 right now?
Off Topic

Apart from loving jrDocs as always, I'm particularly loving the tools that Jamroom gives you to manage your project.

jrTracker and jrForum.

We don't use our forum so much: I'm often at my desk where people can find me, but it's useful as some of our people are on other campuses. I do wish we used it more though.

The tracker is something I use several times a week. Mostly that's just to organise myself and to prioritise things I need to do to our system, but it shows a record of items on my ToDo list so my team are able to see what I am aware of and what anomalies I haven't noticed yet. I'm the only person posting to the tracker, it works well like that for us.

What I love most about Jamroom right now is that where I work we have used it to build a great learning resource for our students, and that everyone (usually a librarian) who drops by my desk (to mention a bug, a feature request or a question about how to use it) arrives smiling and leaves happy. And that's just great :)

Documentation to ePUB or app
Suggestions

Take a look at the documentation module code, I really like it. I'm one of it's biggest fans :)

I use a module based on jrDocs to make sectional pages, and the pages are organised into microsites (at work we call them "workbooks", here's one example: http://academicskills.uwe.ac.uk/general/workbooks/writing-for-university). These workbooks are collaboratively written by librarians to deliver teaching to university students. Librarians seem to love Jamroom, which is pretty cool!

Within jrDocs you can write a section pretty easily, just a couple of functions and a template. Try adding in an audio section, or get a developer to do that if you need. It isn't a big job if you know your way around a Jamroom module. You'll have to merge in your customisations when you update jrDocs but there aren't many updates as it's as stable as it's useful :)

Of course the easiest route to getting audio into jrDocs is to allow audio embeds in the editor section. Give that a try first if an audio player in your docs is what you need, no worries when you update jrDocs.

TinyMCE inserting line breaks into some list items
Jamroom Developers

Nothing that I can see which would have any bearing on that.

I've noticed this though: When \n and \r are stripped on validation, the html is saved to the database in separate lines. There are no \n or \r but the new lines still exist. This is where the br is inserted after the ul.
If I edit that in the database and remove that new line, the br is not inserted.

I don't think so, but I'll double check that next week.

{if} statement - works in some templates not in others
Jamroom Developers

Luckily it's not possible that it is being ignored :)

Either $group_intro_video is not set, or it is not = null, or both.

What happens if you try one or the other?

Ok, that looks right - to get that to display right here I needed to replace the single quotes with double quotes around the br tags and added a space after $_tmp = explode(

NOTE: not right either
