I had troubled with .htaccess in my root jamroomsystem

Using Jamroom

.htaccess should exist only in the root directory of the site
Same level as the main directories 'modules' 'skins' and 'data'.

You're saying there was one in
?

If it is there it shouldn't be. I'll check our files.

JR4 still the best. Why you abondoned this?!

Using Jamroom

Sales. Nobody was buying JR4 but it still took time keep it running.

JR4's focus was to offer a complete "sell music online" package for anyone who wanted to run that type of website. But the number of people wanting to do that got less and less.

JR5 and JR6 focus more on the underlying architecture to be flexible so you can adjust it to fit your needs. The problem was it was still very difficult for non-technical users to understand, so we added many tools to allow non-coders to adjust the system.

Probably the future is custom projects built on jamroom for individual clients who want specialized systems set up instead of releasing more general stuff. So if you want something unique built, contact the team, we can build it for you.

JR6 core is incredibly flexible its built
* genealogy software
* community management systems
* multi-business management platforms
* mobile back-end servers

So i guess you're right when you say JR4 was better as a "sell music online" system, but JR6 is great as a platform for building multi-user systems.

Jamroom Developers

Anyone offering value to the community is welcome to post stuff like this. Its the guys who create an account then slap a link down to some development agency that's never built anything with Jamroom, they get deleted pretty quick.

We do have facilities to build a mobile app here, but its not cheap, probably looking at 10k+ to get something basic created by our team.

As I understand it an app that will be accepted into the app stores needs to be more than just a web site wrapper, there needs to be some extra functionality that the app brings that would not be available in just the web view.

Jamroom has detection functions built in to help with that jrCore_is_mobile() and jrCore_is_tablet() allow you to define extra app only sections.

We used to(I thought we took that down....) offer an app interface jrProxima that was a back-end API to use jamroom as a SaaS server. That would be another way to do it. With that you'd create the app then use Jamroom as the tool-kit for storing data and manipulating data/images etc.

Probably since everyone who runs a jamroom site would need features unique to their site, my guess is it would be hard to build a product that fit everyone.

Sound Cloud?

Ning To Jamroom

The problem as I understand it with SoundCloud is their concept, it was something like: We'll get a bunch of investors to put in some money so we can pay developers to build the platform, then we will get musicians to upload their music and the people who listen to the music will pay and we'll share that with the artists.

The issue: The amount of money coming in is not enough to keep the artists happy let alone enough to make the share holders happy so they've given up trying now that they've realized the balance is not there.

Maybe in future someone will try the same thing again but the precedent is pretty much established for the sale of music, its hard to convince people they should be paying more.

We all understand that one artist uploads one song to one of our servers and we have to pay every month just to keep it there but to the internet surfer "It should be free".

Maybe Spotify possibly? It seems to have a following, not sure if it also has a sustainable business model.

There are a few ways depending on what you're comfortable with

#1 using the STYLE tab at
ACP -> SKINS -> (your skin) -> STYLE -> BASIC RULE EDITOR

#2 using the STYLE tab at
ACP -> SKINS -> (your skin) -> STYLE -> CUSTOM EDITOR -> add some custom css in here

#3 changing the CSS file via SFTP at
/public_html/skins/(your skin)/css/ ( pick any file you like .css ) -> Add the rule in there.

My preference is almost always #3, because it fits with how I like to work.
