Parallax support in Site Builder

Suggestions

Yes it is the effect where the background scrolls at a different speed. But in reality it is a section of a page where the background remains static and the content scrolls over it.

It adds a really nice effect to your site and can instantly update your look with minimal effort.

Hey Michael

Please consider adding a parallax control to the editor in Site Builder.

[bug report] ratings not taking

Design and Skin Customization

Worked for me too but just a note there is nothing worse that auto playing content and I nearly closed the page before even looking for the rate option because of this.

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function

Using Jamroom

Yes Micheal thats the first step and what Steve said about the UI is what I was thinking.

Video Title

Video Type
- Upload a Video
- Insert a video from YouTube
- Insert a video from Vimeo

On selecting one of the above the fields underneath would change.

I would also go a further step here, in addition to adding the quota checks Steve mentioned but also hide the seperate Video, Youtube and Vimeo tabs on profiles that have the combined list.

Yes Michael I understand all this as I have created a few small modules with Aparna already, the point I am trying to convey is this is one of the biggest user experiences issues in Jamroom today.

I think he is referring to site builder support in the Ningja skin

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function

Using Jamroom


I think it could be achieved by just a new tab to replace the other ones on profiles rather than a new module but maybe I am wrong.

Our online profiles are really a commodity these days and it needs to be as seamless as possible for people to discover content.

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function

Using Jamroom

The more I think about this I strongly believe it needs to be address by the core team, and let me explain why.

We end users could pull them into seamless lists on the frontend but that doesn't solve the problem on profiles which would still have them going to all different tabs.

Ideally what's required is a global switch that will combine the Music and Video modules onto one tab on the profile and frontend. When a user then clicks to add new content they get a screen asking them which service to use, in the case of Vimeo and YouTube, paste a url, otherwise select a file to upload.

This switch would be off by default, and should by right use the seamless module as a dependency. If people don't have the seamless module installed this option would never show.

The templates would be smart enough to determine which media modules are activated and available to a particular quota and show appropriate options to each.

Thoughts?

Yes combining has been long on my list of things to do and I even pitched it to Douglas and he has added it to his todo list, but did state it would be some time before he could investigate it.

This is an area where skins can rally be improved from a userability standpoint.

Seem to have lost my website ?

Using Jamroom

When I started editing JR's css files some months ago I had serious issues with them becoming corrupt, but once I swtiched to phpstorm this problem vanished.

Was using a variety of methods before notepad, Expression Web, inbuilt text editor in FlashFXP and all three would/could end up corrupting the css file for whatever reason.
