ProJam Video Category Question


Design and Skin Customization

b360:
@john-bizley I would suggest using the Form Designer.

Here is a video @Michael did incase you have not see it yet.

** When you import a video from youtube it will also import the category. You can edit that however and change it to the categories you have set in the Form Designer.

Thanks b360 will look into doing it that way.

ProJam Video Category Question


Design and Skin Customization

douglas:
The instructions are for uploaded videos only, you would want to follow b360's advise if you want categories for YouTube and Vimeo.

Thanks Douglas, wasn't sure about it so thought best to ask before trying it.

How Do You Add Another Row To An Existing Layout ?


Using Jamroom

douglas:
To add another row, I just re-create a "New Layout" of the page and then add in the extra row where I want it. You may have to adjust your widgets because they might move to a different panel since the layout has changed.

Hi Douglas, yes that is the point I was trying to make is that you have to go and re-create another layout rather than having an 'edit current layout' section. Suppose you just want to add another row at the bottom you have to go and re-do all the work you did previously again to do that. Would be nice to be able just to edit the current layout to save time.

ProJam Video Category Question

In this skin their is an option to create video categories, is this just for uploaded videos or would this work for creating youtub or vimeo categories instead ?

How Do You Add Another Row To An Existing Layout ?


Using Jamroom

When in site builder how do you add one or more rows to an existing layout ? So lets say I have built a layout and added some widgets to it but then decide I would like to add a new row of images at the bottom. To add that it seems you have to go to new layout and rebuild the whole thing again to add the new row.

It would be great to have another option for editing the existing layout you are own rather than having to rebuild a whole new layout to add just another row.

Site Builder Menu Wrong Way Round


Using Jamroom

When adding menu items to the site builder the list when they are added is the wrong way round. I know you can drag them into place but should it not be that the first menu item added should be the first in the list not at the bottom ? So lets say you start by adding your Homepage link then choose to add another link of let's say Gallery and so on. If you look at the list it will then show the hompage at the bottom then the Gallery above it and so on if you added more links. So to make the home page first you would then have to go and drag that up and so on for the others.

It would be a lot clearer if the first tab in the list would be the first tab in the menu list and so on, rather than the first tab for the menu at the bottom.

Can an easier way be added for displaying albums so members can find them ?


Using Jamroom

Something I have noticed in the Skins is there does not seem to be a way for members to find their albums. To get to an album list the member would first have to open one of the music files or click on Audio in the profile page, then in one of the music files click on the album title which would then show that album. Next they will have to look into the breadcrumbs to then click on 'albums' which will then give them the list of their albums. A very long winded way to get to their albums.

It would be nice to have another link added to the Audio tab for showing their albums on profile pages.

Personally I think it would be better to have the Albums list as the default then a link to show all music. The reason is if you add a lot of music the Audio list displays every track for each album added which would take a lot of navigation to work through to get to different tracks from different albums. I know you can make playlists but again it would take a while to build one by going to page to page where as if you could just select an album from a list then choose the track then go back to the album list select an album then add some more tracks would be a lot easier.

It would also be helpful to have an albums link added to the Main top navigation to show all albums added and maybe be able to filter those by genre also. In the Nova Skin there is a nice layout when you click on the Main Menu Music tab, it shows , Music By Name, Newest, Ratings and Plays. Maybe another could be added for Albums showing the same types of options Like Album By Name, Genre, Newest, Ratings etc.

The last parts are just suggestions but the main part is to make it easier for members to view albums from the main menu and also to view THEIR albums in their profile page.

Getting 404 In Events Page in Nova Skin


Using Jamroom

In the Nova Skin when you go to the events page the events in the spotlight at the top have a calendar next to the event name to take you to that event when clicked on, however this is giving a 404 page not found due to the url adding an extra slash ( see image )

Where would this be changed to stop this ?
