That's great pricing for block buying multiple site licenses - less than $20 per site for all modules? That's a gift!!! :)

Examples of more Jam Room communites?


Off Topic

Our university library (day job) Jamroom site:
http://academicskills.uwe.ac.uk/

This Jamroom is set up and configured to allow librarians to create and deliver learning materials which explain essential academic skills to students. Here is an example of a workbook:
http://academicskills.uwe.ac.uk/general/workbooks/writing-for-university
Here's another:
http://academicskills.uwe.ac.uk/ace/workbooks/literature-and-film-studies/2042/the-city-in-fiction-and-film

We use several custom modules, our skin is based on ussher's bootstrap skin from github. I find it very easy to customise and maintain.

Since we started using Jamroom the librarians involved with Technology Enhanced Learning seem much happier. They can create clear, good looking, accessible, w3c validating tutorials without bumping into too many technical barriers. Plus our publishing rate has increased massively.

Jamroom has worked well for our collaborative project, plus the support is awesome, I recommend it 100% :)

html in text fails form validation


Jamroom Developers

When I try to post a list here on the forum, it strips out the html.

When I update a post and add the html again I get an error similar to the one on my site - see the screenshot below.

Notice that I use only ul and li, and the error message list ul and li as allowed tags. My guess is that this error here is related to our html problems

html in text fails form validation


Jamroom Developers

Trying out the list here:

Skills4Study: an online resource from Palgrave that contains extensive learning material to sharpen your study skills (including note taking techniques such as linear, nuclear and pattern notes).

Lynda.com: a very useful resource to develop or acquire new skills on software, learning method. It has a section on speed reading that you may find useful.

html in text fails form validation


Jamroom Developers

We are still having trouble saving some forms with html in the textarea. Last year we made most users admins to get around the problem, but we want to move away from that this season to prevent them having access to acp, dashboards and admin emails.

Beth is a normal user on a quota which Allows ALL HTML tags.

She is editing a profile which is also on a quota which allows ALL HTML tags.

She tries to update a form with a textarea set to validate allowed_html. The text area contains a ul with a class, and links with href and target.
ul, ul.class, a, a.href and a.target are all allowed as html in the Allowed HTML tags field for the quota (which should be overridden by the Allows ALL HTML tags setting).
The Active Text Formatter Allow HTML is also checked.

When she tries to save the form the error message appears listing all of the html tags which are allowed, all html used in the field is listed.

Any suggestions as to what I could try next would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Privacy check for images?


Jamroom Developers

I fixed this as a problem by moving the items to a public profile.

The default images were being displayed by the check in jrImage_display_image at line 928 of jrImage/include.php

It would be useful to have the option to avoid that privacy check in order to display images on items which avoid privacy checking. Otherwise, items listed by setting privacy_check=false will always display the default image for non-admins.

Tracker item created on the wrong profile


Jamroom Developers

I saw this (or something similar) a few times last year, there have been threads on this as well.

When creating a new tracker item after viewing a profile which is co-owned by several users I created a new tracker item (I am logged in as admin).

In the Tracker Owner dropdown I can see myself and the other 7 owners of that profile - I select myself.

The tracker item is created on the shared (wrong) profile - it's on a quota which has no trackers so it doesn't appear anywhere.
When I look in the database the _profile_id and the tracker_profile_id are both set to the id of the shared profile whereas they should be set to my profile (only my profile has a tracker, and only I create tracker items).

Generally I only see my username in the Tracker Owner dropdown, when i see other users I know the tracker item is likely to go missing.

php warnings from emoji functions


Jamroom Developers

Thanks Michael :)

FYI, looks like you have a different version of that function to me. My jrCore 5.3.4 function has no is_string check.

php warnings from emoji functions


Jamroom Developers

It looks like jrCore_replace_emoji is run twice each time I click on the Error Log tab or the Debug log tab.

The first value is an array containing $_conf and $_mods, and the second value is the $_user array.
