Documents module missing form designer button?
Suggestions

jrDocs doesn't have form designer capabilities, or I haven't found them yet. I had assumed that was because of the multi section types. I'd be very interested in it as a feature if it is possible.

I’m not specifically a bootstrap fan, I’m sure all of the other current css/html frameworks are pretty good as well. But I would go as far as to say that bootstrap html/css is much better than jr5 html/css, extensively and near-perfectly documented and widely used/experimented with (plenty of fiddles to prove it). Twibootstrap is just one of the frameworks, but they are all pretty similar (I say that from skim reading), for good reason.

The main benefit (of using a framework) is the docs (and I think you would refer to them several times a week like I do). The docs make it very easy for all to use, from noob to team, and you need to worry less about mobile: Generally things tend to work pretty well.

I reckon you all probably looked at the frameworks when you were designing jr5. It seems like you were (when looking at the code), but maybe a trick was missed: the completeness, docs and wider experimentation funnel.

Bootstrap, Foundation, others:

Michael has a basic bootstrap skin on github. It would be really cool to work up a viable alternative to the current core htm/css there. Looks like a potential win/win direction to me, so it’s a gamble. Maybe a significant improvement for jr6, or 5.2. :)

It isn’t apparent until you add/replace jr elastic css with anything else.

I don’t know what the html or css specs say about it, but in my experience headings always clear themselves so the content below them appears below them. I’ve never needed to use a br tag after a heading to make it behave like a hX tag, normal.

So finding that you need to set the first br after a heading to 0 height in css or js is very confusing to figure out. Pretty easy to fix though, you just set the height of the first br after a heading to 0, and then wonder why? So I’m off on a tangent...

But have you ever had to do that after a hX tag before? I haven't.

Hmmm, because headings always stand on their own line, shouldn't that be done in css?

If you choose not to use jrElastic-specific flavor css you will always need to remove that br tag or set it's height to 0.

If modules provided a class on the br, and a note*** in the docs to always look out for the br tag that you need to get rid of, but I think it would be better not to require a br after a heading in the html in order to have the following content on a new line.

*** Make that a prominent note, my guess is that this unusual use of heading html/css will confuse a lot of people, and the more prominent the note the more time will be saved. I don't think I've ever come across anything before where I needed to use a br to clear a html heading tag.

Here are some, the one from jrProfile was downloaded earlier today:
                        <h2><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.blog_title_url}">{$item.blog_title}</a></h2>
                        <br>


                        <h2><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item.doc_category_url}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.doc_title_url}">{$item.doc_title}</a></h2><br>

                        <h1><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}">{$item.profile_name}</a></h1>
                        {if !empty($item.profile_bio)}
                        <br><span class="normal">{$item.profile_bio|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|truncate:250:"..."}</span>

                        <h3><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.audio_title_url}">{$item.audio_title}</a></h3><br>

                        <h3><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.youtube_title_url}">{$item.youtube_title}</a></h3><br>
I've only checked those 5, but its in all of them.

Why is there a br after the heading in all of the module item_list templates?

It isn't a problem (override every template used is my new way of working, it saves so much time) but I'm curious as to why this isn't being done with css?

Marketplace updates- Sometimes have to install twice
Installation and Configuration

Tried updating user, developer and profiles modules today from a place with a really good internet connection.

The behaviour was different, it just hung twice on profiles (after modal reports it has installed user and developer). Refresh the page and none of the modules are installed.

I then installed developer using the individual update button, tried the update all again and it worked.

Music Charts not showing properly and counter not counting accordinaly
Design and Skin Customization

There is some smarty code in the comments here:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/274/jrcharts

If you put that in your charts row for a few days you will be able to see how the charts are working with that data to produce the chart.

If your site is already live wrap the code in a check so that the info only shows for the master admin:
{if jrUser_is_master()}
...code here...
{/if}
