Search and Passwords

Jamroom Developers

1. I don't know if it's something you guys would consider creating for JR. I haven't had any time to develop anything - busy building sites for people. I though there was a long thread on the old forum about people wanting the zipcode radius search - it would be very useful for anyone who wanted to create a dating style site - like my client is requesting.

2. Just an ability to check the users entered password against a database of common passwords and reject the users ability to use that password. I bet some of those passwords on the list of common passwords would qualify as strong passwords (though I haven't checked them) depending on how someone setup the strong passwords module.

Search and Passwords

Jamroom Developers

I have a question and an idea.

1. Is there an ability to search by zipcode? I had a client who wanted me to setup a social site for them (dating) and wanted to know if searching by zipcode was available. I believe this was discussed on the old JR4 forum. I realize that I can just add a field for the zipcode and search for a specific zipcode, but is there a radius search ability - 10, 20, 30 miles - in JR5?

2. I read a lot of articles online about people using passwords that are on the "top 10 list of most used passwords". I was wondering if it might be good to create a module for JR which prohibited new members from using common passwords. Honestly, I've never seen a feature like this is any script I've ever worked with. Thought it might be a great addition to JR. Maybe there is a resource online which you can pull an updated list of common passwords to keep the module current with the newest "most used" passwords. In the end, it would an extra layer of security especially for a site which has users which are prone to using "password1" or "p@ssword".

FYI: Community for Sale

I see JR just added conversion modules for NING. I just wanted to make people aware that there is a auction of Flippa for an existing NING website. I was thinking about purchasing it and converting it to JR, but I'm not really interested in the content. Price isn't too bad for an established community.

Here is the link:

Just a note: I have nothing to do with the auction and it isn't my site. Just making people aware of the auction.

JR Modules Page

No problem. I guess that would be BBcode and not HTML markup... opps.

Was looking over the modules page: https://www.jamroom.net/download/modules

On the list of modules, it doesn't seem like the short description is accepting html markup. Specifically in the Audio module description:

The Audio Support module adds to your Jamroom site, including: - Support for converting uploaded files in...

When I clicked on the modules, the bold was bold.

Just wanted to let you know.

Development Server Control Panel

Using Jamroom

LOL yea 1-click isn't too important. Honestly, I don't even think I've ever used softaculous.

I've been using it for 2 weeks now and I have to admit, it's a pretty nice Control Panel. It doesn't support CentOS 7, but most of my servers are 6.5 anyway.

Development Server Control Panel

Using Jamroom

I finally have the time to setup a development server! Anyway, I downloaded VirtualBox and CentOS (the Linux distro I like) and got everything setup.

The reason I'm posting is that I found a great free control panel to use for my dev server. http://centos-webpanel.com/

It's free and has a ton of options. One of the features I love the most is the ability to use just about any PHP version I want. Couple clicks and I'm using a newer or older version. Great for testing!

It also comes with Varnish... for those who like Varnish.

Wasn't sure where to post this... is there a demo of the Elastic template? I didn't see one on the demo page.

Thanks!
