Hey Guys

This is just something I noticed today while fooling around with something else, in the Your Votes section under Voted for, it currently shows the item id, just thinking it would be better to pull in the actual option text rather than showing a number?

I haven't looked deep into this but I didn't see a template for that page so I assume it's being created on the fly by the module.

Only a very minor thing mind.

No problem, just one tip, it looks like you're currently not creating albums for your shows and just uploading the audio files as singles. Nothing wrong with this but as your library grows it will become more tedious to put them all in albums later, so I would advise you start using albums from the get go. You don't have to categorise by album at this stage but it will leave it easier down the line.

Nice looking site, yeah if you only have 5 shows weekly then this is a bit premature at this stage.

Good luck with your site.

Easiest way for you at this stage of your learning would be to use site builder, and using a template code widget just paste this in

{capture name="row_template" assign="shows"}
	{literal}
    {if isset($_items)}
        {jrCore_module_url module="jrAudio" assign="murl"}
        <ul>{foreach from=$_items item="item"}
                <li><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.audio_album_url}">{$item.audio_album}</a></li>
            {/foreach}
        </ul>
    {/if}
    {/literal}
{/capture}

{jrCore_list module="jrAudio" group_by="audio_album" template=$shows}

And then build the rest of your page around this the way you'd like

No it's not in any of Nate's skins, afaik.

Something like this will get you the list of albums with direct links to the album page on the profile.

{if isset($_items)}
    {jrCore_module_url module="jrAudio" assign="murl"}
    <ul>{foreach from=$_items item="item"}
            <li><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.audio_album_url}">{$item.audio_album}</a></li>
        {/foreach}
    </ul>
{/if}

you will need to decide how you want to build your Shows page now, ie via site builder or by adding new templates to the skin. (Should always clone skin before making any changes and then apply changes to the cloned version).

I would advise you make a front end template to show all the podcast shows in one place and then link to the individual profiles from there. Will make discovery a lot easier.

If you're using albums for the shows, you could add a block on the page that would display Show names and then link to the appropriate page.

Which skin are you planning to use? Some of the older skins had a filter by album built in them but the newer ones don't. So this would need to be added either via code or by building the page with site builder.

Afaik all podcasts need is a way to store the media file, auto create an RSS feed so it can be found and downloaded by podcast apps, but maybe I am missing something. So video and audio in theory should work, and then if needed you could pull all the podcasts into a special page.

Jamroom upload stuck at 512M
Installation and Configuration

brian:Ideally though you're not having to customize the Video module and it has options in it that satisfy most everyone's needs (i.e. smaller file size, lower quality versus larger file size and higher quality), so can check this out and see if we need a round of updates.

Thanks!

That would be nice, especially if it is implemented like the audio quality settings are in quota options, which I assume it would be if it get's done.

Beta Launch

Nevermind I figured it out, I had modified the index.tpl page in the previous version and for whatever reason the updated version didn't like the changes and the login link wasn't showing, reset the template and all is ok.
