Jamroom 7 has been released + 20 years of Jamroom!

Announcements

Some of you may already know since I pushed Jamroom 7 to the stable channel last week, but I wanted to "officially" announce that Jamroom 7 has been released!

JR7 comes with a ton of updates, tweaks and fixes - mainly around adding support for PHP 8+ and setting up some low level systems to be easier to support going forward. There's also a lot of small updates and tweaks through out the Core and dozens of modules.

I've also released a few new modules in to the Marketplace:

Analytics
The new Analytics module adds a real time analytics tab in to your system Dashboard:

Audio Import
The Audio Import module is designed for importing large amounts of audio files directly from the server file system. This used to be a "tool" in the Audio module but has been broken out in to a separate module:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/864/audio-import

Image Optimizer
The Image Optimizer module will "optimize" JPG images so they take up a little less space. Note that this module WILL permanently change the images so only use this if you want to save some space on your server:

Javascript Event Logger
If you are a 3rd party developer, the JS event logger module will log JS errors and issues in to your site activity log given you a way to see Javascript errors your users may be running in to:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/847/javascript-event-logger

SSH Support
The SSH Support module is designed for module developers to have access to low level SSH and SFTP support:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/825/ssh-support

Rate Limiter
The Rate Limiter module provides low level rate limiting to prevent bots and scanners from hammering your site:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/806/rate-limiter

Twilio Messaging
The Twilio messaging module adds support for Text Messages to your user notification options (note that a Twilio account is required - sending text messages is not free):
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/789/twilio-messaging

I'm excited to finally get Jamroom 7 out in to release so we can start moving forward again.

Jamroom turns 20!

For those of you that have been around since the beginning, can you believe it was 20 years ago that Jamroom 1 was released? I want to thank all of you that have stuck around over the years - I know JR has had it's "ups and downs" but it's still chugging along

I personally still work on Jamroom every day (for those of you that do not know, I've been employed full time for the last 5 years developing the worlds largest JR system) and even though it has been over 20 years, I still enjoy working on JR and developing new things, so I'm excited to get JR brought up to speed for the next chapter.

I hope you all enjoy the new releases and thanks again for being Jamroom users all these years!

convert executable

Using Jamroom


That I don't know. Check that the modules/jrSystemTools/tools/convert binary is executable.

The "convert" binary is part of ImageMagick - so whatever OS you are on you should install ImageMagick and that will install the convert binary.

Let me know if that helps.

select all check box

Using Jamroom

This is already supported - in the User Browser just check all and click the delete button - it will delete the associated profile as well.

System Core update stalled? (self-hosted)

Using Jamroom

"Opcache" is a new entry in the Jamroom cache reset - it's a low level cache built in to PHP - depending on how PHP is configured on your server you may not see PHP script changes until Opcache is reset - so that's been added in JR7.

Updating should never take more than a few minutes unless you are on a severely overloaded server - if it seems to hang just refresh and re-run - should be good.

The Plan To Fix New Youtube Channel Names?

Using Jamroom

Thanks for the update on this - I wasn't aware that YouTube had a made a change here. I'll get a tracker open on this and we'll get it fixed up.

Thanks!

System Core update stalled? (self-hosted)

Using Jamroom

Yep - that is way too long - should never be more than a minute or so. Just refresh the page, run an integrity check and reset caches - then continue with updates. Let me know if that helps.

PHP modules

Using Jamroom

Jamroom doesn't use apcu-bc - it just uses the main APCu package. "apcu-bc" is an additional page you can install on PHP 7 to give you the optional op-code caching that APC provided back in the PHP 5 days. PHP 7+ uses the built-in PHP "opcache" package for op code caching, so APC was split up in to APCu and APCu-bc packages.

You do not need apcu-bc - just install the main apcu package.

AudioPro2 Skin Issue

Installation and Configuration


If you customized a template, undo your changes - if you did it in the Skins -> Templates tab, just UNCHECK the template so it is no longer active and save, then reset caches.

Let me know if that helps.

Jamroom 7.0.0rc3 has been released in the Marketplace

Announcements


Awesome - thank you for the feedback

SSO Jamroom integration with Ghost

Jamroom Developers


Sorry for the late follow up here. Unfortunately no - the "allowed on profile" basically turns that module on/off for profiles in that quota - any existing galleries would be unviewable. What's really needed here is just a way to prevent NEW items from being created - to do that, go to the Galleries page for a profile - i.e. the main profile gallery page for that profile (not an individual gallery) - and you'll see the "+" button for creating a NEW gallery. Click the "configure these buttons..." button (see my screenshot), and modify it so it can only be used by master admins.

That will prevent new ones from being created but still allow the existing ones to be viewed. This works the same for all module indexes on a profile.

Let me know if that helps.
