How to easily figure out which .tpl to edit?

Design and Skin Customization

Why doesn't it help much, it should take you right to where you want to go.

For me the way I like to edit the templates is not from within jamroom at all, I like to do it from an editor that works on my computer.

I store a copy of my website on my computer and the software keeps the two in sync. I use "PhpStorm" but if you're only editing occasionally it might not be the best for you.

When I want to figure out what template I need to be working on I find some code that looks unique-ish on the page, usually a class="something-unique-looking" then do a search with phpstorm for "something-unique-looking" to see which-of-all templates it could possibly be.

If I'm lucky there are only 2 or 3 location, from there if I dont know which one it is I'll write something to all of them

class="something-unique-looking 111"
class="something-unique-looking 222"
class="something-unique-looking 333"

Then go look again to see which one shows up on the page I want to know about. if its 222 then I know thats the location to edit.

Also another thing to turn on when making edits is DEVELOPER MODE so you dont need to reset the caches each time. its at
ACP -> MODULES -> DEVELOPER -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> GLOBAL CONFIG

M3U parsing?

Off Topic

There is a playlist module in jamroom, its called "Playlists"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/56/playlists

The way it works is when someone is logged in to jamroom and they are browsing your site and they locate a song they like, they click ADD TO PLAYLIST button then create a new playlist or add it to an existing one. Then those playlists will show on their profile.

Its not an M3U playlist. Im not sure how an M3U playlist would work within jamroom now since files are not uploaded via FTP anymore.

How are you hoping an M3U playlist would work?

That sucks, I was interested to see what you were going to build.

Time to change hosting companies if they don't provide backups.

Thanks for trying Jamroom.

What is highest PHP version for Jamroom 4 ?

Installation and Configuration

php 5.2 is the last one that ran Jamroom 4 correctly. Something changed in php that screwed up the Newsletter system if I recall correctly.

If you could export your .ged file and a .yaml example file I can try to duplicate your setup, that would make helping easier.

compress them to a .zip and upload them here, or if they are more private, then send them to support at jamroom dot net with a link to this thread.

Another idea is that in the ACP there is an export feature that allows you to export the entire site to a GEDCOM file. You might look to see if a converter already exist to convert from .ged to .yaml

The most control you will get is by building a module. Jamroom is VERY module centric, even the core is a module of itself.

Once you have a module created it will serve as the base for all the adjustments you want to make and will allow you to tap into the system on various levels.

Probably what you're seeing with relation to the database being confusing is that each module gets its own 'datastore' which is a special KEY => VALUE type database structure. This is access from php via the jrCore_db_get_item() function and the jrCore_db_search_items() function. and in the templates via the {jrCore_list ..... } template function.

The value of a datastore comes from its ability to add extra "columns" without having to change the database structure.

For example, the jrAudio modules purpose is to allow the user to upload audio files, it uses a datastore. Then the jrTags module comes along and adds the ability for the user to tag audio files. The jrAudio module does not need to know or care whether the jrTags module exists or not. The jrTags module can write its tags to the jrAudio modules datastore so when anyone requests an item from the audio datastore the tags come back with it.

This allows modules to stay independent of each other. You can have regular SQL tables too.

With your own module you could setup its own view to create the output you need on a url that suits you, so maybe call your module xxFullTree and have a view of view_xxFullTree_everything() which would then be viewable at:

Then it would just be a matter of figuring out what it is you want and in what order inside the view_xxFullTree_everything() function.

If you like I can get that module setup with the file system structure enough to turn it on and have a play with it?

--edit--
Here is the beginning of a module. Upload it to your server then activate it by going to ACP -> MODULES -> CUSTOM -> FULL TREE -> INFO

If you dont see it run an integrity check first.

OG Image Issues

Using Jamroom

Any of these are valid;

Then you can add a width=?? height=?? to adjust from the base image to the size you actually want

It would not make sense to have a size=1280 then width=48 height=48 because it would only show 48x48 but the 1280 image takes much longer to load and transfer than a smaller image.

Further adjustment can be made if you add a class to it class="some_class" then you can adjust the image via CSS

like this (the name some_class can be anything you like). This is example css:

CSS gives you a lot of control, almost too much control, because it can get confusing with all the available options.
