Item Tags not incrementing count


Using Jamroom

jrblack1175:
Interesting concept. Design a skin that will show the little tag icons, and while the function itself works - adding them, clicking on them... But didn’t bother to add the ability to see them as part of the blog post - rendering them more or less moot. So, I need to add a custom ability... And I can view how it’s done, where? How? And will I have to add it back if/when there are updates to the skin?

Other sw providers - if the skin doesn’t support all the features, it’s not released until it does. I’m just amazed...

Sorry this is proving frustrating for you. Jamroom works a bit differently than other frameworks you might have used before, in that you can do A LOT more than it seems on the surface. While other frameworks are going to do like you mention (don't support anything unless it shows on the site), Jamroom is used as a "core" for sites that don't even output HTML. There is a huge amount of flexibility in the templates - frankly more than can be "crammed" in to a single template, and it all depends on WHAT you want to do. Once the concept of template functions is understood, you can literally do anything you want - you're not restricted by those things we've "thought of" ahead of time.

We know this causes more initial friction for a lot of users that are looking for something that is more "plug and play" but to be 100% honest with you, we get a lot of "refugees" from these other systems when they run in to a brick wall with what can and cannot be done on their other system.

Can you let me know what you mean by this:

It's not clear to me what you're looking to do. You can add 50 tags to a blog post if you want, then those posts will show up in the tags section so you can see them grouped together. Maybe you're wanting to use them in a way we haven't seen before?

Thanks!

Adding Multiple TXT files to a Blog post


Installation and Configuration

Are you really wanting to use a blog format for this? What about a forum like you see here? Jamroom has a full forum module that might be a better solution for importing from a phpBB3 forum. Just an idea...

Adding Multiple TXT files to a Blog post


Installation and Configuration

Yep - Jamroom supports as many different file uploads as you want - i.e. you can have 50 txt files attached to an item no problem. What I am not sure of though is if that is supported when using the Form Designer. File uploads are little more tricky in that they have to do more prep work in the form to make sure the back end is ready to "accept" the files that might be uploaded.

I'll check on that and let you know if it is supported or not - if not, it's something we can probably get in the next beta.

Adding Multiple TXT files to a Blog post


Installation and Configuration

Yeah this requires you to customize your jrBlog/templates/item_detail.tpl file and add in the custom form field you've created in the form designer.

What is the name of the custom file upload field you added?

Export CSV from Data Browser


Using Jamroom

lornawebber:
What I really want is a CSV file for only the search results, not the entire category of item in the data browser.

I am occasionally asked to list all the item details for a user, (e.g. all images) and that's what I'm trying to achieve. A CSV file from the data browser search results would be ideal, but failing that I could take screen shots of the search results if enough of the data was shown for each item.


This is a small change that's pretty easy to make - I will have it in the next Core beta.

Max-width for img tags


Jamroom Developers

TiG:
We have users dropping in large images within comments (and discussions/blogs) which sometimes go past the maximum width of the text area (and thus are truncated). The natural solution would be to inject style="max-width:100%;" for the img tag.

Unfortunately the html_purifier (called via the update form) strips max-width. I have attempted dissuade html_purifier but ran into the finalization problem discussed years ago on this forum (with no resolution). My guess is that it is still a nightmare to try to influence html_purifier attributes.

So basically I am looking for a suggestion. The question essentially is: how can one get style="max-width:100%;" to remain in effect for img tags that are edited (and thus filtered)?


max-width should be an allowed parameter on img tags - I can check that out.
