Using Jamroom

Hello,

I am just wondering if anyone used SOLR ( http://lucene.apache.org/solr/) for Jamroom or not before. I am trying to use advance text search for Jamroom and want to see if it is possible or not. If you have used it or it is possible, can share your experience please.

Thanks

I can't see Jamroom Config as per http://archive.jamroom.net/Jamroom3_Quota_System to add more quota. Is it because I am on a 7 test server or something is wrong.

Thank you Michael and Jimmy. Still trying to wrap my fingers around this and trying to keep things simple. Is there a way to give someone admin privileges without sharing my master admin info.

Thanks

Using Jamroom

It has been a few years that I used JR last, and notice almost everything has changed. I signed up for the test server to test a few things, and make some custom work and honestly I am lost. Trying to learn as much as I can and as fast as I can.
1. From the skins that is available, which one is not widget based, and the fastest in terms of loading and not to much java and so on, as I am doing some customization.

2. Instead of using custom form, can I hard code the forms to where I need them or not.

3. For comments, and so on, can I disable tinymce so to keep it simple.

4. If I customize a skin and later update the system, it will over write my customization, how can I prevent this.

Thanks

Jamroom for Review website

Using Jamroom

Hello Brian,

Thank you for answering some of my questions. I did send you an email with more info and links. Speed is one of the major things for us, unfortunately we do not get that from wordpress and their plugins. As you are aware if the page does not load within 1 sec, users will abandon the site. Searches will be done by name or keywords in the given city. We currently have 40,000 cities in Canada and US in our database and expecting to expand to 5 other countries. My goal is to have dedicated servers because hosting can not handle our site. Currently with 5 servers on google cloud, the site is slow.
For Jr, will RAM be import or CPU, since our site will be having images, reviews, stats and so on and user activities. There will not be any music, videos hosted. What will you recommend for a server and how many businesses, users per server. Is there a mobile app for JR or no. Can we have categories and sub-categories and will hashtags be allowed for keywords.

Sorry for I am asking to many questions, but as they come to me, I try to get answers.

Thanks

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the response, I will send an email with the site url to you. I used Jamroom about 10 years ago, and I remember my site had limitations at that time with about 60,000 users and Brian was aware of it. As you are aware review sites use Geolocation and also displays maps of the business on their page. Is there an option available for Jamroom that allows this. As you mentioned dedicated servers are the only options for us right now and I have other software installed for Apache to speed up a few things, which I don't know if it is an option with Jamroom, like Cassandra, and few more.

Thanks
Amin

Using Jamroom

I am currently running a business review website built on wordpress and have close to 1 million businesses listed and getting reviews. Our traffic is between 2500 to 5000 users per hour. Lately the site is becoming really slow because of more listings, wordpress plugins and limitation on wordpress. I want to use Jamroom to develop my new site, what are the limitations on Jamroom. How big can the database be, the speed of the software, can it be programmed to what I want or would it be really hard. Can my existing database be imported from wordpress to jamroom.
Thanks for answering in advance.
