Jamroom Developers

I have set up a profile called Community, this houses my issue tracker, site documentation, site documents and forum and it will also house a site store to purchase things which I decide.

It takes a lot of tweaking of templates and Jamroom can be quite confusing in the profile area, as it uses a number of different templates to make up a profile, depending on what area you are looking at. Not for the faint hearted really.

Installed Comet Chat - Got Errors

Installation and Configuration

They need to update the integration file, but they have manually solved this for other members, have you contacted their support about it? They will need access to your server.

profile playlist - how to add music to it

Instead of JrAudio you can try JrPlaylist, see the mediaplayer docs for more information

But you have misunderstood you can edit the playlist forms using the form designer and then do a similar call for the playlist in the template I'd imagine. You don't have to feature an album, it's just what I am doing.

You'll need to investigate what is possible when calling a playlist in code.

Just a note autoplay works by adding this autoplay="true" but auto shuffle is not supported by the player, the developer has never implemented that functionality, according to a quick search on the Google Group support page.

I never looked into auto play as I hate that on websites, nothing worse than listening to something on one tab, visiting a page on another and then having two things playing.

I added a checkbox to the Album create and Edit forms. audio_featured, then in profiles check for this, I still have some tidying up to do but you should get the general idea.


Since this is an Album and not a playlist I'd guess it can be autoplayed by using a smarty tag, and auto shuffle I am not sure about but a random ordering might achieve that.

But what is supported with playlists I am not sure.

Have to move off Arvixe NOW -- Linode? Digital Ocean? Other?

Jamroom Hosting

I too am in the same boat currently and have multiple servers testing them out this month, Linode is defiantly the fastest at MySQL so far, and a big kudos to Brian as none of this would have been possible without him.

I am beginning to see why some people don't like whm/cpanel, they really do take up a lot of resources on the server. The trade of then is having to learn the command line which is daunting for me. But having run servers for years what you find is you need support a bunch at the start and maybe not again until you make a major change. That's what I liked about my old host, they offer on demand support, $25 per month, that you can only purchase on the months you need it. But their MySQL performance was my bottleneck too.

Setting it to the profile name might be a bit too restricted in the long term, just to weigh in here a better option might be what I have done with musician profiles, I allow them to feature an album on their profile.

I achieved this by adding a checkbox to the form designer and then checking to see if they have checked this. The only potential problem with this approach is ensuring they don't add multiple playlists otherwise profiles will look weird.

yes now you have reminded I flush windows DNS too, since I never restart the laptop unless there is an update that requires it, it can be on/in hibernation for weeks.

I seen this after moving my site to a new server, I don't know what finally fixed it but I manually cleared out the cache folders using ftp.
