User links on profile page


Suggestions

Just had a thought because I've tried this a few times and realized it didn't work. On the left of the profile page for the Jamroom network, it lists the four of your user accounts that are part of the profile. Would be cool if those were linked to your individual profile pages!

A more Generic JR5


Using Jamroom

In the info tab for the module - you can change the text that shows in the URL.

I've had this happen too when I've been at work and didn't realize I wasn't online.

A more Generic JR5


Using Jamroom

I didn't read through the entire post, but as someone who has run multiple Jamroom sites (almost none of which were music-related sites if I remember correctly), Jamroom 5 is a _significant_ improvement in making jamroom more "generic." Really all that's needed now is to change your templates, which I don't see a problem with - what was required before if you wanted to make it generic was to do some core changes and template hacks, none of which are needed now, so that's a huge thing for me. I ran it as a site for my lacrosse team, and "artists" quotas were used for "players" so it was really mindbending to set things up and make the URLs make sense and everything. Again - that stuff is not necessary now.

Jamroom started off as a music-centric cms, so the majority of the sites (I would say) are still using Jamroom for music-related sites, which is why the default templates are still all set that way. The templates have always been just a "jumping off" point though to be customized. A lot of people use it for producers and beats, and they know they have to customize the templates to change instances of artists/audio to producers/beats or whatever they're doing.

So when it comes down to it, really it's just the templates that need to be changed to make it generic, which is something a new site owner is going to do anyways to make their site different from what everyone else starts out with.

Anyways, just my 2 cents.

Yeah - it's pretty awesome. I've walked through almost all of it (just the mysql optimization one I haven't done yet).

Great job, Brian!

Old Files didn't delete after Update.


Installation and Configuration

Those are backups, essentially. If you need to rollback the version of a module at any time, you are able to do that.

Disabled Functions


Installation and Configuration

I could be wrong, but I think it's out already - see if you can update the core through the marketplace.
