Featured member / artist not showing


Using Jamroom

It was the featured artists and featured songs ( as we removed featured videos etc a long time ago )
But as I said today they are working as BA9801 add some more bands while I was offsite and I came back and they are displaying logged in or out now. This is a screenshot of today logged in or out. Maybe trying adding another member to see if it pulls them back in ?
Or check your generated source code to see if anything is coming in at all.

Disable Menu item


Design and Skin Customization

Depending on what skin you are using you can edit the header.tpl file in the ACP
Open your skin and click on templates
click modify on header.tpl
find the menu item you want to disable
If you want to enable it again just comment it out eg

say change this

<li{if isset($selected) && $selected == 'artists'} style="{$menu_active_style}"{/if}><a href="{$jamroom_url}/artists">{jrCore_lang  skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="12" default="artists"}</a></li>

to this

<!--<li{if isset($selected) && $selected == 'artists'} style="{$menu_active_style}"{/if}><a href="{$jamroom_url}/artists">{jrCore_lang  skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="12" default="artists"}</a></li>-->

Save it then go back to your templates area again in your skin and check the box beside header.tpl to make your edit active and save again

If you are using your own skin or a cloned one this can be done directly in the header.tpl file in your skins root folder on your server

Featured member / artist not showing


Using Jamroom

We came across this issue last night when @michael was here on my site.
It seemed very random.
Featured artists and featured songs just kept displaying the loading gif.
When I logged in they showed fine ( Nova Skin )
Tried on another machine and a tablet was the same.
This only started recently but we have been doing a lot of work on the site and only noticed it yesterday
EDIT
Just tested in all browsers and it looks like it's ok now ( Nothing done by the way except added new artists which may have fixed it? )
So don't know if my problem is related. Just saying that we saw the same thing ( Our own dedi server )

Tips and Tricks

Ok Thats good you did that @douglas.
German is apparently being trickier to decipher.
This is what our German friend said
( Site is http://punkbandpromotions.com )

Quote: its still a bit mixed between english and german. it seems you dont use the variables all over the whole site. for example the statistics at the end of the homepage.
recommended changes:
'featured' ($lang[21] ) to 'Empfohlene'. that means 'recommended'. it fits better than 'featured künstler'. at least on the front page.
under artists/künstler menu the 4th tab seems not be translated. you could change 'artists by rating' to 'Künstler nach Bewertung'.
$lang[11] = 'newest'; to 'Neueste' (plural) instead 'Neustes' (singular). at least in the tabs: charts, artists, tracks, members, blogs and the frontpage.
concerts first tab: 'Kommende' better than 'Demnächst'. also on the frontpage.
front page: twist the words 'Anlegen' 'Konto' to 'Konto' 'anlegen' if you can.
thats it for now.

So as we change the module language files we may have to edit it again but its a good start.
Below is the amended file for German. Still waiting on Dutch.

So user id=1 would be the home page?
Sorry not following
How can I get a unique description for our home page like on google at the moment?
https://www.google.com.au/search?q=punk+band+promotions&oq=punk+band+promotions&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i65l3.5151j0j7&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=119&ie=UTF-8
We have sub pages etc which I have relinked but it would be a shame to drop ranking over such a small detail

@michael at my place


Feedback

Michael and his lovely wife visited me tonight in Australia. It was refreshing to meet such a genuine bloke with the same thoughts as me as in music sites.
He took the time to drive up to my place from where he was staying to say hello and catch up.
Never had anyone from a software site actually call in which was awesome and just showing respect.
Although all he could talk about was motorbikes ( :P @michael )

brian:
MAD©:
How would I make it then so the meta description isn't the same for every page?

The meta.tpl is "included" in other templates, and so has access to the smarty variables available in the template it is included in. So on a profile page (for example) you can do something like:

<meta name="description" content="This is `$profile_name`'s page">

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Thanks @brian.
I need to create a meta description for my home page then I can take it from there.
Although using your example I would somehow need to create a variable for my pages. I can't use a universal variable like you gave as every page should have a unique description.
It would need to be able to either read the first 150 characters dynamically or inputted by either us or the user.
