My 1940s Site So Far

Ning To Jamroom

Strumelia that is kind of you and will help where I can. With regards to that error yes on the 'home page' it will go to the music if you click on the album link but not the links to the tracks. Will have a look at that when home later. I do not think it has anything to do with importing from Ning as I have not imported anything. The site is a standard Jamroom slate skin which I just added content to to check it all out.

If you go to the home page again try this, scroll down to the bottom where you will see the Judy Garland album twice, if you click a track from the first one you get the error or a blank page, now go to the one at the bottom and do the same but this time it will go to the track.
The first one is shared @founder but the one that works is shared by 1follower, hmm odd.

The one that works is the profile ( John Bizley ) the one at the bottom and this is the profile that uploaded them.

My 1940s Site So Far

Ning To Jamroom

I just thought I would post this as those who are coming over from Ning will probably know me so here is my site so far. Still lots to do but this I did mostly today ( Sunday ). The video sizing I did the other day.

I have made quite a few styling adjustments changing some fonts, adding some box shadows, resized the member profile pic and in the activity, added some background images and also changed the user online/ offline box colour so if the user is online it's more a brown colour and if not it is the red ( tomato ) colour to help distinguish betweeen the two.

Home page not touched yet as still getting the other things right first.
Well have a look and see what you think so far, it's almost like a cross between Ning 2 and 3.0 although not as easy to style as 3.0 so does take some getting used to although the Jamroom Guys are working hard at getting it user friendly for people coming over from Ning.

Here is my site which takes you to my page.

My YouTube Video Sizing ( Updated 28/11/14 )

Design and Skin Customization

No worries Brian, gald you liked it and hope others will find it useful. Was not sure whether this was the right place to add it as the title for the forum was for questions.
Do you think it would be better for me to add tips in a blog on my page or as a suggestion we had a forum section in Ning for posting tips so maybe another category could be added for adding tips, just a thought. Finding my way slowly but surely around Jamroom and sites coming nicely although a way to go yet

Hi Ken, this can be fixed but on there end. I do not have share this installed so can't check if the code can be edited this end. The issue can be fixed in one of two ways, there is a float which could be cleared or they have a width setting of 400px which if changed to 100% would fix the issue. This could be facebook doing this also but it's worth writing to share this about the problem.
Here is an image showing the fix

My YouTube Video Sizing ( Updated 28/11/14 )

Design and Skin Customization

I think I have posted this in the correct place so here goes. I am not one who likes big borders from YouTube around videos especially when in the phone size view, that one in particular leaves massive borders above and below the video. So I had a little tinker with these by adding some css into the profiles.
I have only tried this for YouTube so far but looks much better. If you resize the browser you should see the changes. Oh I also changed my profile image size as it was to large for me.

Here is a link to my video page
http://1940snetwork.com/founder/youtube

Here is the css I used, this is my first play around with changing any Jamroom items and would be better to probably add some classes to make it easier to target which I will do at some point.

/* Johns YouTube Code For Profiles */
@media only screen and ( max-width:300px){
iframe#ytplayer{width:auto!important;height:auto!important;display:flex;margin:auto}}

@media only screen and ( min-width:300px ) and (max-width:481px){
iframe#ytplayer{width:100%!important;height:198px!important;display:flex;margin:auto}}

@media only screen and ( min-width:481px ) and (max-width:587px){
iframe#ytplayer{width:440px!important;height:249px!important;display:flex;margin:10px auto; }}

@media only screen and ( min-width:587px ) and (max-width:767px ){
iframe#ytplayer{width:560px!important;height:315px!important;display:flex;margin:10px auto; }}

@media only screen and ( min-width:767px ) and ( max-width:941px){
iframe#ytplayer{width:520px!important;height:293px!important;display:flex;margin:10px auto; }}

@media only screen and ( min-width:941px ) and ( max-width:1155px){
iframe#ytplayer{width:640px!important;height:360px!important;display:flex;margin:10px auto; }}

@media only screen and ( min-width:1155px){
iframe#ytplayer{ width:740px!important;height:416px!important;display:flex;margin:10px auto; }}

@media only screen and ( min-width:481px ){
iframe#ytplayer{ margin:10px auto;box-shadow:2px 2px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.9);padding:4px;border:2px solid }}

This is on the slateskin by the way with no other adjustments to it's standard padding etc.

** This was updated because some other elements like the comments entry was also iframed so added the #ytplayer after iframe so it will only target the YouTube player and leave the other iframed items alone ***

Inline Activity Feed: Is there one or going to be one ?

Ning To Jamroom

Thanks Paul, I will look into those skins. Just using the Jamroom ones for now so as to find my way around the system in it's default mode first.

Hi Ken
Where is this page that the item is on, if you have a link to it I can see if there is a way to correct it.

Inline Activity Feed: Is there one or going to be one ?

Ning To Jamroom

Hi Paul, thanks for the welcome, I am finding my way around bit by bit. This is in referance to the timeline, if you have it displaying the latest activity on the site which is as one would expect but what there does not seem to be is a way for a user to just add something directly to the timeline unless they go back to their profile then add something there. So they have to leave the page, add something, then go back again to look at the activity rather than staying on the one page.
Also in a relation to the timeline how do you leave a message in another members profile. For instance I am following you and so I go to your page but there is no place for me to add a message or comment to your page. Not talking about email or private notes as you have them but rather me just leaving something like " Hey paul thanks for info and here is an example of what I mean ". I hope that makes sense, please feel free to let me know if not and I will try to give an example.
Thanks again for the welcome
John
