YouTube Module Start Time

Jamroom Developers

Doing some testing with the YouTube module, it doesn't appear that the module accepts a start time. Entering the straight video link works fine, but entering the video with a start time returns an error. An example:

Cut For Time: Morning News - SNL won't work.

Even in this infographic:

http://fundersandfounders.com/startup-mistakes/

"Bad Location – you can change everything about a house but its location. Likewise, if your startup is in a bad location, you can’t change the nature of that location. It’s easier to move the startup. Where to? Silicon Valley."

Mistake: location. Idea can be great but if it's in a bad location... no funding.

LMAO! Dead on with that statement.

I do a lot of research of VC funding, not by choice, but because I run a large forum and tend to follow a lot of VCs on twitter.

It's really amazing how a lot of tech VCs (a lot are based in SV) really discriminate based on location. I read company after company getting VC capital and most of them are in SV, there are a few in NYC. Any other location, unless the idea is an Uber idea, gets overlooked.

Profile Domains Scale

Jamroom Developers

Sweet. I was planning on using it as a major selling point.

Profile Domains Scale

Jamroom Developers

I'm curious how the Profile Domains Module would scale if a JR install had thousands of domains mapped to profiles? Is the Apache config file going to be able to handle it?

From this doc https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/2239/profile-domains it appears that the Apache Conf is adding a new include for every domain added: apache_server_alias_*.conf

If my site has thousands of apache_server_alias_*.conf included in the Apache Conf won't that slow the server down?

I think this module is great, just wondering if there is any limit on how many domains can be mapped without effecting performance.

Nice chart. But as you know, you can't argue with those "PHP haters".

I agree. I love PHP. But man have I read some quite lengthy, "reasons why PHP is a horrible language" write-ups. Yea, it seems that if someone wants SV VC capital, it's got to be using one of the "approved" "I'm too cool for school" languages.


I hear you on that and you do have an incredible product.

Did you ever think about posting on producthunt.com. Huge site for new products. The site just got a large amount of VC dollars. It's a very simple site but it's skyrocketing in rankings. Get listed on that site and expect some traffic.

Chocolate and Concrete - I got a good laugh from that one!

IMO the name should be changed. I know, that's a big one... but moving away from "Jamroom" which probably tells people "band site" and comes up when people search for it online. But that's for you guys to decide. First impressions are everything and like they say, the name says it all.

One of the biggest problems I see, which doesn't seem to apply to WP, is PHP. I keep reading more and more people online bashing PHP. That moves people into Python, NodeJS, etc. for development. So, those power users are using other languages and promoting them. WP is obviously huge and there are a million templates for the script online on sites like themeforest. I personally like PHP.

Maybe it might be good to really get a couple banging templates created for JR. What you have is nice, but not the "holy cow" impact type of templates you can find for other scripts. Most novice people buy / get involved on looks alone and learn about the features after the fact.

I'm been trying to get up to speed with JR5 from JR4 and I have to say a lot of things have changed.

Datastores - great idea.

Modules - man, you really can create anything.

This new version is probably one of the best CMSs I've seen. Brian - well thought out. You seem to do the work of a team of 10 developers. I'm really surprised more people aren't using Jamroom. My guess is that people still think it's "just for bands" (there's a lot of history there).
