Upgrading an old site to Jamroom Core 6.5.0+

Announcements

I wanted to post a quick update here with steps on updating old Jamroom sites to the newest release when using the Marketplace.

A LOT of changes have occurred since the initial Jamroom Core 6 releases (i.e. Core 6.1.0, Core 6.2.0) and there are a number of changes in the Marketplace module as well to make sure updates install smoothly. However, on old core installs the Marketplace module does not have the "reset" cache code in it that allows the web server to "see" the new and updated version of the core module once it is updated. So that requires an extra step when updating an old site:

- Log in to the old site and go to the Marketplace -> System Updates. You'll see the new core update - press "update" to the update to the new Core.

This is likely to FAIL - you will end up with an internal server error. To fix this you need to restart the web server - this will reset the web server cache and allows it to "see" the updated Core PHP scripts.

Once the web server is restarted you should be able to go back to your site index and go into the ACP again. Once there:

- Run an Integrity Check and Reset Caches
- Go to Marketplace -> System Updates and install ONLY the update available for the Marketplace module
- Run an Integrity Check and Reset Caches
- Go back to Marketplace -> System Updates and install the rest

That should get your site updated to the latest.

Let us know if you have any issues.

Thanks!

Text editor posting box won't show on my updated site.

That makes sense - you need to "reset" your custom template on your penneywhistle site so the new form_editor.tpl takes over or it's not likely to work.

I can see there are quite a lot of differences between your custom template and the default - I can see for sure yours is not going to work on mobile correctly. So use the "compare" button to see all the differences.

Extending jrCore Icons

Jamroom Developers

Yep - it's just as easy. Create 2 new directories in your modules img directory - i.e.:


And place the icons inside the respective directory. They should be 64x64 transparent PNGs - one black, one white (the core will handle coloring them if you choose to use a color). Reset caches and make sure the "Reset Icon Cache" is checked and you're good to go.

I'd recommend naming the icons with the module name - i.e.

ntYourModule_checkmark.png

Then you can use "ntYourModule_checkmark" when making the jrCore_icon call.

Let me know if that helps.

Unable To Process Your Request Error on self hosted Jamroom

Using Jamroom

Jamroom will not use 30 connections at once - it opens/closes connections as needed and unless your site is really busy you're not going to get to 30. You should see under 10 99% of the time.

Do you have other software running on the server? Is your hosting provider forcing persistent connections?

Glad that worked - thanks.

Search not working after update

Using Jamroom

This just needed a cache reset - it's working.

Video Upload Form Gone

Using Jamroom

I had no issues converting this video - make sure you are running version 3.0.1 of the video module - you can also try reloading the video module from the Marketplace -> Tools -> Reload module and skins.

Let me know if that helps.

Video Upload Form Gone

That link is just taking me to the page where the video did NOT work. I need a copy of the actual video - can you upload it to somewhere I can download it at?

So just an FYI - the video form is correct and working without issue. The "gone" part is just the video PLAYER not showing the video since it failed in conversions.

WMV is OLD video technology, so there's a chance the audio encoder used inside is no longer supported by ffmpeg. Please post a link to the WMV video so I can download it here and see what's up.

Thanks!
