Accessibility improvements in Jamroom 7

Suggestions

Working with you, yep, interest in that. How big a job is it do you reckon?

If its anything like trying to get all green checkmarks on those fake SEO site analyzer tools then slightly less interest.

Installation and Configuration

If you're running on Jamroom Hosting, the stuff we provide, all the modules and skins made by us are included in the cost of the server to build as many sites as you like. So that's the recommended way to go.

The pro packages are for anyone who wants to run their own server for whatever reason. The usual reason is that they also want to run sites other than jamroom on the server. Jamroom hosting is just for jamroom.

To turn it on look on the HOSTING tab of your profile.

How do I use Templets from one skin to another.

Jamroom Developers

Players should be interchangeable with not so much difficulty I would expect but the rest of the skins are all custom, so in some cases it could be thought about as each is a book. and trying to grab a section of one book and put it into a location in another book might work but would take some re-writing to get the story to flow correctly.

We've had the idea for a while to create one base skin and just customize it via CSS but its not so easy to get things looking as diverse as they currently do.

The skins are more than just colors, they are the whole scaffolding of your site. The easiest way is probably to see if put in a project request to support and get a quote for one of the team to do it for you i reckon.

Or post a forum question for where you get stuck and we can help out a bit at a time.

Mass Deleting of Accounts

Using Jamroom

Not built in to the admin interface, but you can access the database directly via:
ACP -> MODULES -> DEVELOPER -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> TOOLS -> DATABASE ADMIN

Where you can run SQL commands to delete big chunks at a time.

Very easy to destroy your system in this area though, so needs to be done carefully.

IP Address???

Using Jamroom

What shows in the popup modal when you click on the ipaddress? anything?

Can't ban on that in its current form so need to locate something else to ban against.

Upgrading an ancient Jamrooom

Installation and Configuration

I bet. "Why didn't you design it with mobile phones in mind first?" "Because mobile phones were just phones when this was built."

I'm downloading the SQL file now to see if there's anything salvageable in it.

--edit--
The jamroom_band_info table has very clean data that looks very importable into JR6.

The chart history looks like the largest table, its about 300MB of the 400MB total.

The jamroom_user table also looks like it has good clean information.

Paul is the one who knows the most about imports, I'll show these to him. Would you want to import the users and profiles?

Mass Deleting of Accounts

Using Jamroom

check the checkbox then click DELETE CHECKED USERS from DASHBOARD -> PENDING

Custom Video Tag Player

Design and Skin Customization

Here's the start of a module to get plyr going. Their git code is in the /modules/jrPlyr/contrib/plyr-master folder.

The work player code needs to go into /modules/jrPlyr/templates/jrPlyr_video_player.tpl

You can see that player on the web at:
http://yoursite.test/plyr/demo/video_id=2

Where video_id=2 is a video that exists on your site somewhere. substitute 2 for whatever video actually exists.

That should get you going, if you need it more fleshed out we have the "Sponsor a module" system:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/module-developer-guide/4931/sponsor-a-module

To reduce development costs to whoever wants stuff that also benefits the community. Maybe of interest, maybe not.

Custom Video Tag Player

Design and Skin Customization

There's two basic concept angles to come at it from:
1) include it as part of your skin.
2) create it as a stand alone module.

The first is probably simpler to get setup but not as flexible the second takes more effort to get setup but is much more reusable/distributable.

An example of it in a skin is: Take a look through the code base search for 'jrPost_video_action_player' You will find it in /skins/jrPost/include.php in the _init() function and also as a file in /skins/jrPost/jrPost_video_action_player.tpl

then in use like this
Thats an example of a skin over-ride of the player code with new player code.

(I haven't looked at this area in a few years)

The second method involves creating a module, i'll need to get refreshed on how this would work.

Custom Video Tag Player

Design and Skin Customization

Not sure the location your talking about, got a URL?

Almost everything is controlled by a template (.tpl files). These are mostly in your skin /skins/(your skin)/*.tpl

In some instances these can be in modules like this /modules/jrVideo/templates/some_template.tpl you can over-ride that by copying it to your skin and giving it the name /skins/(your skin)/jrVideo_some_template.tpl Use that naming convention to over-ride module templates with the custom version in your skin. You can then adjust that however you like and it will survive an update to the module.

--edit--
Then to locate which template is in use in a certain area of the system there's a developer tool at
ACP -> MODULES -> DEVELOPER -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> GLOBAL CONFIG -> Template names in source.

Enable that then look at the source code to find out what template is in use.
