Once you have a fresh install of Jamroom 5.1.0:

http://www.jamroom.net/networkmarket/core_download

There's a couple things you want to setup to make the 5.1.0 core work with the backend here on www.jamroom.net:

First go to Marketplace -> Global Config.

1) On this page you need to set your "Marketplace Email" to the email you are using for your user account here on www.jamroom.net.

2) You need to set the "Marketplace ID" to the special ID you will find in the Account Settings -> License tab (I'm working to make this easier to find).

3) Change the Marketplace URL to "http://www.jamroom.net".

4) If PHP is NOT running as a CGI on your server, make sure and enter your FTP info into the config as well.

Save the changes.

Next, go to Support Center -> Global Config

1) Enter your jamroom.net email address just like you did in the Marketplace setup.

2) Change the "Support URL" setting to "http://www.jamroom.net"

Save your changes


That's it - you should now be able to browse, purchase and install items from the Marketplace, and get help in the Support Center module.

For testing, use the following credit card information:

number: 4242 4242 4242 4242
expires: any valid date
security: any 3 digits

Make up an address too.


Let us know if you guys run into any issues during testing, or have any feedback on how things could be made easier or smoother.

Thanks!!

Wow! This is wonderful!

I can see the update under Reload Modules or Skins:
Quote: Marketplace 1.0.0 1.0.1 changes stable fail
And when I click the Update button I see the success message, but the Marketplace row does not change even when I refresh the page.

So I ran the integrity check. Initially there seemed to be no change, but then I clicked system updates tab and the success message showed - I do have caching on, so I guess that would explain it, but it might make sense to change the status light to amber and provide a link to the integrity check once a module has been updated.

The Support Center module is really cool as well!!!

Test Purchase of the Image Galleries module.

Everything seemed to go fine (although a longish pause before the ajax working indicator showed by the Purchase button) but a popup tells me:

Just tried a purchase for the Beta Launch Page module, but just pressed the button and it installed itself - no Stripe Payment window showed at all - it acted like a free install rather than a paid one.

The Quick Purchase setting is in the Global Config for the marketplace module - if you want the CC popup to show everytime, uncheck the Quick Purchase option. If checked, then once you enter CC info, you won't have to enter it again.

This means the license was generated correctly, but something messed up in the install. I tested this stuff up and down, over and over in the last few days and thought it was rock solid. This is why we have to do beta testing... lol.

It will show the discount on what is remaining in the bundle so you can "complete your bundle" - I went through it pretty well here and I think it is working right, but I can check it out again.

Test Paid Bundle (quick purchase turned off)

Refreshed the page and the Install Bundle button appeared
Quote: OWNED $39.00 (striketrhough)

It's that $39 that doesn't seem right (here and in the previous page) - what is it supposed to be? I get the 33.63 and 23.37, but what is the 39.00?

I believe that should have a strike through - let me check out the template.

EDIT: Added a screenshot of what I see - it shows the original value in strike through - are you seeing that or is it not strike through'd?

Thanks

Ah, it's clearer now I'm looking at the already installed bundle
$39 being the price of the bundle, $27 saving on the price of all items.

Yeah I might need to try to make it clearer. Basically the idea is that you can "complete your bundle" (i.e. buy the additional items you don't have in the bundle) at the same % discount of the original bundle. So the first number is the NEW bundle price, the strike through is the ORIGINAL bundle price, and the savings is under the button.

Click the changes link for jrCore and a window opens but all of the text is not visible in the window - it doesn't wrap as it is within pre tags. Using jrElastic

white-space: pre-wrap; in the css will fix that

pre {
 white-space: pre-wrap;       /* css-3 */
 white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;  /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
 white-space: -pre-wrap;      /* Opera 4-6 */
 white-space: -o-pre-wrap;    /* Opera 7 */
 word-wrap: break-word;       /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
}

Hey Mick - I just tested here and I'm not seeing any issues - download file name is jamroom-core-5.1.0 zip. Try going directly to the front page here:

and see if it downloads right by clicking on the big button. If not, what OS and browser are you using?

Thanks!

Install was a breeze! The easiest and fastest yet. Marketplace and license setup worked fine and I installed a few free modules. I must say, this will make life a whole lot easier for those juggling multiple Jamrooms.

I also done a test purchase of the JRSuperpack. The purchase worked well, but then after clicking the install button and waiting for ten minutes I realized that something wasn't working right and the system was just hanging like it was wanting to install but couldn't. I'll try this again on my iPad and let you know how it goes.

Thanks Mick - the superpack is really big, and may take some time, but 10 mins is likely too long. What I need to do is make it so bundles are installed in a modal window overlay so it can update you as each item is installed. I'll get that setup.

Thanks!

Sounds good, Brian. Btw I tried the above using my iPad but it just done the same. in all fairness I do live at the end of the telephone lines and only connect at around 3000kbps so this can maybe be affecting things a bit.

Yeah it could be the connect speed - I just did an install of the Super Pack here, and it installed the entire thing in about 30 seconds, and it all worked (which was cool). It definitely needs some sort of "progress" indicator though, so I'll get something setup.

Thanks!

Team - Apologies for being late. I have been doing 70+ hour work weeks to support a few releases.

I love what you guys have done! Looks great. One question on Bundles. If a user has purchased one or two of the bundle items, is there an additional mark down? I noticed the strike-through and could not tell if that was the discount or if it took off a little bit more for purchased items. It will come up is why I ask.
brian
@brian
11 years ago
10,148 posts
Yes - that is correct. An example:

1) a bundle has 3 items in it that are $15 each, but the bundle sells for $30 - a savings of $15.
2) You already own 1 item from the bundle
3) You can by the remaining 2 items for $20 (the same discount rate as the original bundle) saving $10.

My plan is to actually have a hover/popup that actually outlines this right by the price (maybe like a little question mark or something that says "show my savings", whatever) that when clicked on will break it down.

Thanks!

Will this only work with a fresh install?

I'm not seeing anything in the Market Place on my test site and I get this message...

"You have not subscribed to any Release Channels - no updates or installs can be provided.

You can activate a Release Channel from the Release Channels tool."

There are not channels showing in my test site, so I'm not sure what I need to do.

Yes - it all should work out of the box on a fresh install- I've done it many times.

If you go into Marketplace -> Tools -> Release Channels, make sure you have at least the stable channel active.

The stable channel is active by default, so unless you manually turned it off something broke on your install.

Thanks!

That means you are not running Jamroom Core 5.1.0.

Redownload from test.jamroom.net here:

http://test.jamroom.net/

Click on the "Download the Jamroom Core" button.

Don't try to install directly from a git clone of our repo - it's not going to work without you moving the items in modules/jrCore/root into your web dir.

I don't believe so - the last time I checked Google Maps has a very restrictive API usage license, so unless that has become very permissive we won't be adding it.

There's no version control being used - it's basically just a private "channel" that you can upload an item to. So when you are in your Marketplace and creating an item, you can select the channel you are releasing the item into. There's 2 system defined channels - "stable" and "beta" that you can set the item up for, or you can go into your marketplace and create a "private" channel. So as an example:

You have created 2 items - one is a module you want to release to any Jamroom site that wants to buy it or install it. the other is a custom module you created specifically for a customer of yours - a unique module that was designed just for them.

So you release the first module into the stable (or beta) channel. You can charge for it if you want. Any site with the marketplace module installed will now see your module (by default sites only subscribe to the stable channel - they have to enable the beta channel if they want it) and can buy/install it.

For the second module, you create a private release channel - this gives you a special "invite code" that you can then send as an invite to the site owner you made the second module for. They add that release channel into their marketplace, and now along with seeing regular items in the marketplace they will also see any items you push into the private release channel. So this allows you to develop and release custom modules for customers just like you do any other module.

Let me know if that makes sense.

Thanks!

I don't know if you already know this but 'pages' aren't showing on the member profiles. I wasn't sure if it was just a jr5.0 problem at first but it seems my jr5.1 'pages' index doesn't show a list either. I had a look at the JR Demo site and that has the same issue going.

p.s. I tried to create a new forum topic to mention this but it threw up an error after submit.

Mick - Did you post an update on this thread and then remove it? It showed "last updated" as being from you, but I didn't see your update here.

It does point out a bug where if the last user to update a forum post deletes their response, the forum index will show the topic as having last been updated by them, even though they deleted the response, so I'll check that out.

Thanks!

I did post an update but I never removed it.

The update was to say that the jrPages profile index doesn't display the list of member pages. Not sure if you already knew that.

How does the Open Source license work? Am I able to add functionality to the Jamroom modules and contribute or sell the work I have done to the community?

My beta install is working well on my site as well. Ive had it up and running for a few days and have had zero issues thus far besides the install ones I posted earlier however that may just be my server being difficult.

Yes - you can do this as long as the module/skin is licensed under the MPL (Mozilla Public License) - which is most of our free modules and the Core. If you base your work on one of our MPL modules/skins, your module or skin must also be MPL licensed.

We are also going to be offering a "developer license" for our other JCL licensed modules and skins - in that case you could base your module/skin off of one of our JCL licensed modules/skins and sell your item under the JCL license as well. We have not worked out the details on that yet, but it will be announced really soon (probably soon after the 5.1.0 release).

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Perfect! That explained it well and that's very exciting! So folks can develop "mods" under the MPL and build on Jamroom 5 and or, you could be licensed under a JCL for more commercial custom modules.

That's awesome!
