Audio player and/or Image resize question.

Design and Skin Customization

So, I'm getting really close to re-releasing my site, there's just a few more things I want to knock out. Thanks everyone for your help so far!!

A quick question about the HTML5 players - Can the album_image be inserted into the HTML5 player such that it looks something like the attached photoshopped image?

If not, where can I control the exact pixel size of the predetermined image sizes? (small, medium, xlarge...etc)

I'm essentially trying to line up the height of the audio image to the player. Thank you!

any skin coming out based on only events

@boplive - on that same note - I think if there was an API that imported Venues from a existing database, that would be tight. On my old Jamroom 4 site, I had a developer hack the club module.

What it did was:

1. admin such as myself would do a Google search for a venue using Google API. Select the venue, then ADD it to the Venue database. Including Address and Latitude+Longitude.

2. Artists could add an event and choose from a list of existing Venues. Quite time consuming because I would have to add clubs on request if they did not exist. Mainly did it for California clubs since that's where we're based.

3. In the event ranking page, Viewer would see CLOSEST TO ME | NEWEST | HIGHEST RATING
The trick is -when they view CLOSEST TO ME, the ranking would use jrGeo_Locate to get their LAT+LONG, then find Venues with LAT+LONG within a certain distance of that viewer, and display events closest to them.

It was a pretty slick hack for the JR4 site, spent more than I would have liked on it. But all that is lost now.

I'm sure there are easier ways to accomplish the same thing now. Come to think of it, the jrNova skin has a "closest to me" Event Listing but I'm not sure how that works exactly.

I'll tell you what, If you can convince @paul to make something similar I'd be willing to divulge that code to him if it helps any.

I had a lot of cool sh!t on my JR4 site that I wish I had in JR5….though JR5 is proving to be a great system so far!

Question about DB Backups

Using Jamroom

I follow you on that part. I was referring to the inability to get a successful database (only) manual backup. Or is that related to the backup not completing the first pass? Should be separate no?

Ad Manager?

Jamroom Developers


I 2nd this. If there could be any change as to how it worked on the JR4 side, I'd say make it a subscribable feature. Meaning, if they subscribe to our site, the ad manager becomes available to them. Then they can upload ad images, which rotate on the site.

You can essentially have a separate quota for people who want to "buy" ad space.

I also had a customization on my old JR4 site that would also send a monthly email the ad manager statistics (impressions & clicks) to the email on the account. That was pretty neat I think Paul did that for me. What he did was create a separate field where I (site admin) would enter the profile ID and email next to the ad. So essentially people would pay me, then I would setup their ads (manually upload images, links, profile ID, email, etc), and they would be off and running.

If this was improved upon and more automated than the JR4 version I'd definitely buy this.

@Paul had some good event modules on the JR4 side. I think he'd be a good starting point.

Question about DB Backups

Using Jamroom

Hmmm no dice. Is this something you think you could look at also?

Using Jamroom

OK back to this one. I'm testing this out again with the hopes that the entire site has backed up by now. I'm going to do a manual backup of only the DB and see if it pops into my bucket.

Some Listings being duplicated after 5.1.24 update

Pssssh! You're fast!! Looks good now on my site!! Thanks @brian - you may close this one!

Some Listings being duplicated after 5.1.24 update

Using Jamroom

I noticed after the last System Core update yesterday, that certain listings are being duplicated. Best example I can give you is in my documentation module.

If you look at the attached image, you'll see that my docs pages are whacky. My best guess is that there's one listing for every time I've ever editted that doc category.

I have only changed the documentation URL from "documentation" to "guide". But again this only started happening after the last System Core update. I haven't touched the TPL files. I reloaded the Documentation module but get the same result.

I was looking at the changelog and suspect this "The "group_by" parameter for jrCore_db_search_items() can now accept multiple fields, separated by a comma." but that's just a guess.

I dont see anything out of the ordinary in the Logs.

Ideas?

Gallery, or album listing bug?

@brian I see what you did, you appended it with "/all" - good one! That's working like a charm now, thanks so much for the help. You may close this thread!
