Changing "Most Viewed Artists" content heading

Using Jamroom

Ah, thanks @brian for the assistance on this, it does help.

However, of note is that whilst in the process of doing the changes it occurred to me that if I changed the language string no 48 from 'Artists' to 'Profile' on the ACP->Skins->Language it would have a global effect and would change other content headings which are already appropriately stated and linked to that string (eg. 'Artists' on the artists.tpl).

So armed with your note, what I ended up doing is changed the following code line in the index.tpl

from:

{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="46" default="most"} {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="47" default="viewed"} {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="48" default="artists"}

to:

{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="46" default="most"} {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="47" default="viewed"} {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="12" default="profiles"}

Did a reset of caches and it worked as desired.

Thanks once again for the help, much appreciated.

Changing "Most Viewed Artists" content heading

Using Jamroom

For some odd reason, the content box on our Home page under the 'Most Viewed Artists' heading is displaying all profiles regardless of whether they are assigned to the designated 'Artists' quota (which is '1') or not.

We have decided to leave the displayed content as it is but change the content box heading to a more appropriate heading of "Most Viewed Profile".

We tried doing this by changing the following code line in the index.tpl

from:

{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="46" default="most"} {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="47" default="viewed"} {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="48" default="artists"}

to:

{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="46" default="most"} {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="47" default="viewed"} {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="48" default="profile"}

But this has not done the trick. We reset the cache done systems integrity checks to no avail.

Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Changing the landing page

Using Jamroom

Thanks @douglas for the assistance on this.

Very much in line with our thinking but noticed we were doing a number of things wrong when we had attempted it.

In the first instance we had not cloned the skin (very important indeed).

Also, we had copied the entire community.tpl code into the index.tpl rather than just the lines between {jrCore_include template="header.tpl"} and {jrCore_include template="footer.tpl"}. This did eliminate the sort of loop we thought was happening when clicking the Home menu afterwards.

Thanks a million for the help on this, much appreciated.

Changing the landing page

Using Jamroom

Our Community (community.tpl) page is much more engaging to visitors and members than our Home (index.tpl) page which has very little (virtually none) site content and as such we would like to change the landing page of the site from the Home to Community page.

We are trying to figure out just how to do this. We noticed that the .htaccess refers to modules/jrCore/router.php but not sure which line to edit for the landing page change.

We opted for the 'lazy' approach and copied the content of the community.tpl file onto the index.tpl in the jrFlashback skin folder but then found that it was quite counterproductive to do it this way as the Home page seems to go in a loop when clicked afterwards so we had to rollback the index.tpl file.

Any help on how to change the landing page properly would be greatly appreciated.

Like It button not showing

Installation and Configuration

Thanks @michael and @paul for the leads.

We'd seen the first link quoted but thought it was referring to a different kind of issue.

We are following through the directions of the second link but finding the process quite intimidating for someone like us with only the least basics of php knowledge (eg. with the so many IFs and DIVs in the profile_index.tpl file we are just guessing where to add the smarty call so it is shown after a Timeline posting - we just gave up doing it after a number of trial and errors and integrity checks), so the proposed update of the jrLike muodule will be very highly welcomed.

By the by, I personally think the jrLike module is a highly desirable module in the scheme of things for a music community website like ours so a big thanks for making it available.

Like It button not showing

Installation and Configuration

We installed the Like It module but it is not showing anywhere on the site. We have checked the Quota Config and the Like It is allowed across all the various Profile Quota.

Are there any further steps in the installation that is required for the Like It button to show?

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation.

ShareThis - Facebook share not showing correct description of our JR site.

Using Jamroom

1. Using the Facebook button of the ShareThis module the description given on the share relates to that of our other site of which our JR website is an addon domain site.

- How / where do we go about changing the default description for our JR website so it shows the correct description of the JR site when sharing to Facebook?

- Also, how to add a default image to show our logo on the ShareThis shares to Facebook? Currently no image is picked up for the Facebook share

We tried following through the forum conversation at: https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/5821/fb-share-wrong-meta/search_string=sharethis to figure these out but to no avail.

We have checked the default_facebook_open_graph.tpl file in the jrShareThis module folder but just cant figure what to add or change there

2 - When we copy our JR website's home page URL and paste it on as a post on Facebook it shows: NO_LANG_FOR_ID | before our website name.

- How can we take off this preface or at least replace it with something like Home |?

It appears something similar to this has been fixed in the latest version of the script as per forum discussion at: https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/using-jamroom/844/no-lang-for-id-instead-of-default-text but we just can't figure how to go about resolving this.

We only just started using JR less than a week now so apologies in advance if we are seemingly behind the curve.
