Custom Form Design

Jamroom Developers

Wow, I typed a response to this and never sent it. Thank you very much for your help on this Michael. The solution worked Phenomenal!

The only thing to add should anybody need this in the future is that I needed to add: if(stristr(jrCore_get_current_url(), 'createissue/create')) otherwise all forms are overridden.

Custom Form Design

Jamroom Developers

Hey all. I could use a little guidance in how to approach this problem I'm having=)

I have used the form designer to create all the fields I need and am able to navigate to: http://www.MYSITE.com/createissue/create

The form is there, but now what I need to do is take 4 fields at a time and place them in a nice javascript slider. creating jrCore_form_field_elements.tpl in my skins directory overrides exactly as one might hope, but that also is going to effect every form on my site which I don't want. I need it to only effect the "xxCreateIssue" module's form.

Also, I need to be able to wrap a div around every 4th field so the slider is able to place them properly, which I presume I would have to override the php function that calls the form_field_elements.tpl file in a loop (somewhere).

I hoped it might be as simple as placing skins/MyTemplate/xxCreateIssue/form_field_elements.tpl, but no go on that one either.

Any direction on what I need to do to have it call a different .tpl file for form_fields and how it loops through each field would be wonderful. I've spent some time on this and can't find anything in the documents.

Thanks!

Video Not Playing In Desktop Browsers (on custom skin)

Installation and Configuration

Thanks very much Michael! So ultimately the problem was the fact that jQuery was being loaded at the top of Meta.tpl -- Switching to a different skin made the videos work, switching back of course they would not which certainly helps identify where the problem is. Essentially jquery loaded, a few plug-ins loaded afterwards, then jquery re-loaded causing the plug-ins to go poof!

This likely won't help many in the future seeing as it was completely generated on my end, but perhaps can help somebody not make the same mistake=)

Video Not Playing In Desktop Browsers (on custom skin)

Installation and Configuration

It is doing it in all browsers, but primarily Safari. However, I just switched skins out of curiosity because there was also some CSS warnings coming up that I found strange. The second I changed skins, videos started playing again so clearly its something that was altered! As soon as I find the exact culprit, I'm going to post the solution here for historical reference to hopefully save somebody else hours of headache.

Video Not Playing In Desktop Browsers (on custom skin)

Installation and Configuration

Hi Paul, thanks very much for your reply. I am unfortunately under an NDA and literally cannot point to the problem which I understand makes this impossible for you unless you have seen this before. That said however, I have enabled error and warning alerts in jrVideo_player_dark.tpl, and that is now showing me in the console:

jPlayer 2.9.2 : id='jquery_jplayer_m56a28c2a5c0a5' : Error!
Attempt to issue media playback commands, while no media url is set.
Use setMedia() to set the media URL.
Context: play

What's interesting is hitting the link directly to: http://www..com/video/stream/video_file/8/key=8vGEEbKicRBf/file.flv

Downloads the file just fine. My first instinct is to blame jPlayer (because we never want to blame ourselves), but comparing it to another Jamroom hosted site the code looks identical.

The site was copied from one server to another, so my prime suspect is really permissions and that deleting the cache directory just showed the problem for the first time.

Video Not Playing In Desktop Browsers (on custom skin)

Installation and Configuration

I'm having a strange issue here. I uploaded a test video, everything seemed to work fine, however when I try to play it now I just get a black screen with the player controls. However, if I connect using IOS my iPhone plays the video just fine.

I've been told videos used to be playing fine and the one thing I did was delete the subdirectories in cache due to an uploading issue. Are there any particular tables/files I should be looking at? I assume if its a settings issue, I wouldn't be able to play anything at all and I'm not seeing any errors in the logs or debug window.

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide!
