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?

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.

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.

wondering about the user data with profile info, template (follow me skin)

Design and Skin Customization

if you want 'user_group' its probably within the $_user array so to use it you'd put {$_user['user_group']}.

This is the doc you're after

Docs: {debug}
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/module-developer-guide/1477/debug

It explains how to use the {debug} function to get a popup of all the variables available to you in the template. Put that in and you'll see whats available.

Jamroom Installation Error (No tables being created)

There is a thread in the forums about us working on Php 8, this one:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/announcements/64472/php-8-support-for-jamroom

and this one:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/new_posts/65293/php-80/search_string=php+8

I'll open a tracker about the install issue on php8. Thanks.

Jamroom Installation Error (No tables being created)

only thing that looks weirdish is that you're using nginx instead of apache2 other than that I would expect errors to be sent back from the install script during the install.

For absolute safety of expecting install to work I'd try Php: 7.4 with apache.

Here's my system install locally thats all working: (screenshot).

Also make sure you've set up a domain name in your /etc/hosts file. Jamroom doesnt run well on an ipaddress or 'localhost'.
