Show Image right after upload


Jamroom Developers

I'd be interested to see how this pans out. I need to give every prompt possible to users who have uploaded a picture to complete at least the image title, geotag and description....

'Clone Skin' not bringing over custom skin images


Using Jamroom

Ah - of course - the skin upgrades are separate to the Core.

'Clone Skin' not bringing over custom skin images


Using Jamroom

Thank you! Can I download that without upgrading to 6? Ironically, I need to clone the skin before I can upgrade to 6, but I can't download module updates until I upgrade.

If not, it's not really a massive problem - I guess I can just re-upload the images manually with the same file names on the cloned skin.

'Clone Skin' not bringing over custom skin images


Using Jamroom

Hello!

Just a couple of notes I've spotted on skin cloning. Just cloned a Slate skin, and all goes well, other than it doesn't bring over the custom images from the 'images' tab, although the little notes box on the clone tab suggests it will.

Also (minor note!) in the documentation ( https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/skin-customization/839/creating-your-own-skin), it suggests that the clone skin function will be found in the Tools section - it's now actually in the Developer Tools section....

Integrity Check hanging after upgrading to new Site Builder


Using Jamroom

It seemed too long to me, but I'm always haunted by the 'be patient' warning!

I need to do the skin clone and check it through first, then I'll go to 6. So excited about cards in the activity feed!

(on that note, I had been going to add the css for embedded tweets and fb posts. Will that not be necessary with 6?)

Integrity Check hanging after upgrading to new Site Builder


Using Jamroom

Hi, Michael,

I do indeed remember the conversation, and set aside some time to do this.

I put the site into maintenance mode, and having checked the documentation and forums as to whether old SB needed to be switched off, but couldn't find anything. From memory I recalled that the switch off process would be handled by the integrity check.

The home page was pretty messed up, with widgets and what have you all over the place, but rather than just "immediately revert", I took the time to move/delete/rewrite widgets and templates - and, for what it's worth, it was all easier than I expected, and you were right, I should have borne with it the first time.

Happy with the way I had it, I finished up my session by doing what I always do; resetting the caches and running an integrity check. It was at that point that the first hang occurred. I gave it a considerable time longer than it usually takes, but, having concluded that the connection had dropped, or that I should have disabled old SB, I disabled it and tried again. I gave it an hour with the same result.

As on the PC I was using the home page appeared to be working, I left new SB active, and old SB inactive. It was only on the commute home, when I had a chance to post about experience from my iPad, I realised that the pages that the root drop-down menus link to were inviting me to create them. I have to have these, as the drop downs don't 'drop down' consistently on iPad, and the pages are workaround indexes.

I left the site in Construction Mode until 2300 GMT (10 hours after I started), but with nothing more to go on, and the site unnavigable for tablet users, I felt I had no choice but to reactivate old SB. I'm certainly not complaining, just perhaps objecting to the assertion that I immediately reverted back!

I will have to have another bash another day, and this time will turn off old SB after activating new SB. I assume it's at that stage I should run the integrity check.

Thanks as ever for your help.

Integrity Check hanging after upgrading to new Site Builder

Not locked out. Have disabled new SB, re-enabled old SB, and integrity checked, and it's absolutely fine.

Will leave it as is for the time being.

Integrity Check hanging after upgrading to new Site Builder

Had no permanent Internet connection for the last year, so not had the chance! Trying to prepare myself for 6 now....

It hangs if old site builder is disabled, haven't tried it with disabling new site builder - is that what you meant?
