Forum
Suggestions

More of a backstage bar/greenroom response than a Suggestions forum response. Sorry.

My first question was "are you moving your community, or starting to build a new one"?

My first thought was that it sounds like you have a forum-style site, IPB is bringing out new features, jrForum doesn't replicate IPB, but you'd like it to because Jamroom is much better (to work with) than IPB (they do different jobs).

My second thought was "What am I saying?": Of course you should go with Jamroom. But important to note that for building a community, Jamroom 5 has a Followers and Profiles emphasis, not a forum emphasis. This here jamroom.net community is based on things other than the forum - the software, and supporting it, and a long history as you know.

Final thought is that you need to base your decision on
1. your available resources (skill, time and/or money),
2. whether or not you can bring your existing communities to the new site (that doesn't involve features or cms's, it's purely down to your skill in moving your users from one of your sites to another and what you say to them to achieve that),
3. Which has the closest feature set to what you require as a forum? (JR or IPB)?
4. Your personal preference - which one is more interesting to you? (JR or IPB?)

I think jr5 is something special (specialler than 4), so I naturally recommend that choice. But if you don't have the resources, can't move your users, or need a traditional stylee forum, then go with IPB or similar.

My Posts search returns no results
Jamroom Developers

Regardless of what I search for, using the search on the My Posts tab of the jamroom-network-forum returns no results.

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/my_posts?search_string=bbcode
That should return my last post, but it doesn't.

It isn't caching, I've used the term "jamroom" many times, but a search for it under My Posts returns no results.

Either it isn't working, or I shouldn't be seeing the search button on the My Posts page.

is PHP allowed on the pages to be inserted
Installation and Configuration

If you don't understand either Jamroom or the javascript you are trying to add to jamroom, I can understand why you are feeling frustrated.

It's not surprising that you cannot add code that you don't understand to other code that you don't understand. Same thing here. Pretty much universal experience imo.

You need to develop some degree of understanding of jamroom, AND your external javascript. Otherwise your question is just another "How do I turn this brick into a car?"

If you can't make a module similar to what Michael outlined above, you can either get someone else to do it for you, or develop some understanding and then do it yourself.

Make sure you understand your eternal javascript before you try to add it to jamroom (I am assuming you understand Jamroom).

These are probably not problems with the javascript of either Jamroom or your mysa script. Javascript generally doesn't interfere, it progressively enhances.

Are you sure you understand what you are doing? Are you sure you are not breaking it?

Registering account_tab with jrUser
Jamroom Developers

Yes it is registered.

Looking at jrUser_account_tabs function it doesnt look like the tab is being unset if the quota is not allowed.

                // $label can come in as an array
                if (is_array($label)) {
                    $_tbs["{$mod}/{$view}"] = array(
                        'label' => (isset($_lng[$mod]["{$label['label']}"])) ? $_lng[$mod]["{$label['label']}"] : $label['label'],
                        'url'   => "{$_conf['jrCore_base_url']}/{$url}/{$view}"
                    );
                    if (!isset($label['quota_check']) || $label['quota_check'] === true) {

                        // Check for specific field access
                        $fld = "quota_{$mod}_allowed";
                        if (isset($label['field']) && strlen($label['field']) > 0) {
                            $fld = $label['field'];
                        }

                        if (isset($_user[$fld]) && $_user[$fld] != 'on') {
// added this at line 741
unset($_tbs["{$mod}/{$view}"]);
                            continue;
                        }
                    }
                }

// added this at line 741
unset($_tbs["{$mod}/{$view}"]);

With that unset added in it seems to work properly.

Registering account_tab with jrUser
Jamroom Developers

The quota check doesn't seem to run on Lifestreams when registering an account_tab with jrUser. The lifestreams account tab appears even when the module is disabled for the quota.


Its based on the foxycart init function, this is from foxycart:
    // Setup our Subscription Browser
    $_tmp = array(
        'label' => 34,
        'quota_check' => false
    );
    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrUser', 'account_tab', 'jrFoxyCart', 'subscription_browser', $_tmp);

This is from my module function:
    // Setup the stream settings tab
    $_tmp = array(
        'label' => 1,
        'quota_check' => true
    );
    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrUser', 'account_tab', 'ujLifeStreams', 'stream_settings', $_tmp);

Is there anything I am missing to get that tab working as expected?
Thanks

Fatal error
Installation and Configuration

Probably not. You'd need to fix the code error or it will just be copied to the cache the next time. Make sure the developer module is enabled and that cache is set to 0 seconds.
