Out-of-the-Box Setups

Okay, the Pro Jam skin gave me the "Home" menu option that I wanted, and a whole lot more. If I could just figure out what goes into that big "Latest News" black hole, then I'm on my way.

Thanks to you guys, I have a general forum up and running. I do wish I could put it on the top line of the menu. Is there a way that I haven't found? And I wish mine showed a menu like the Jamroom site instead of a profile picture. What does that take?

All-in-all, the Jamroom hosting has been a huge improvement over Arvixe, and most everything is working. I'm having some little bumps like the buttons for all the profile options being blank in my "Dave" profile (e.g.; open "audio" and all the buttons are white blanks). And, when I use IE11, I have weird problems pop up that don't happen in Foxfire.

If my wife wasn't mad at me for all the time I'm spending with this, it would be great. Is there a jamroom lawyer module? I might need it!

Paul. I might have made the mistake of being on IE11 when I tried it. Jamroom really hates IE11.

Oh, and Paul. I tried the delete domains on my songpress.net to see if it would delete the installation, and it didn't. It just deleted the domain name. Don't know if that's how you intended it to work or not.

I just plan to disable the original domain. I will only be using Songpress.net. at least for now. And now that I know I can have additional installations and not just additional domain names pointing at the same installation, we'll see what the future brings. I just apparently screwed up my password to songpress and can't get into it, so I'm hoping Brian will fix that. And by the way, I'll quit emailing Brian direct and use the support email address. Sorry Brian!

Hey Paul. I tried deleting the new domain to see if it would delete the site since my password isn't working on the new site. I reentered the domain, and it was still the original site that I tried to delete. If there's another way to delete the site, I don't know it. I've asked Brian to delete the first site, and change my password to the second. Or, just wipe them both and let me start over. I'm still struggling to get my site up. But again, the hosting is working great! It's just me.

Jamroom hosting is working great! The only problem I have is a loose nut on the keyboard at home. I messed up with adding my domain in and didn't let DNS catch up before I started working on the site. Now I have two occurrences of Jamroom, and I can't get into the second one. I've emailed Brian for help. I sure do make messes.

Got my new server up and running! Can't wait to play with it tonight!

Okay, I feel stupid. I guess I'll have to try the different skins to see what they do. I only used the default.

I hope you guys can put up with me while I try to get a handle on this.

Thanks for your responses.

I don't know what it takes and I don't have a working copy of Jamroom right now to play with, but it sure would be nice if the base system would include a link to the home page in the menu. It took me a while of playing with the system before I figured out that you click on the logo to get back home. I don't think that is very intuitive. I recommend that a menu option for home be included with the basic setup.

I also failed to realize that the system comes requiring pictures to be attached to items or they don't display on the home page, like newest audio, newest profile, etc. Recommend the initial setup does not make this a requirement.

And how do I have a general forum like this one in my Jamroom site? Sure would be nice if the system came with it in the core. I didn't see a module for adding it on either. Just profile forums. I want one that all users can see and respond to. Same for blog. Like you get with a Ning network.

I'm hoping to have my new install of Jamroom set up and running very soon, tomorrow if I'm lucky. As I run into more things that I feel are troublesome, I will let you know. It's just feedback for whatever it is or isn't worth.

Well, I got my answer from support at my normal hosting, and it didn't help me a bit as I suspected it wouldn't. Jamroom hosting is going to make or break this for me now. I sure hope it works. I'm looking forward to being up and running soon.
