Hello this is might be a silly questions, but is there a reason why does jamroom creates and other folder with release versions every time there is an update? I have not seen this types of upgrade on other platforms that gets performed from the site.

Just curious.. Moving forward the more there are going to be a lot of folder with same start name but different release.
Is it safe to delete the older folders?
Thank You

Yes, its safe to delete the older folders if your sure the current one is working.

The way the system works is the main folder:
/modules/jrDisqus

gets turned into a symlink to the most current version of the module.

This means that if the latest update breaks something, you can still revert to a previous release.

Thank for the reply.. actually I deleted the latest release thinking that the original folder was already updated.. too bad. from me. Lucky this was just a test site.
Other question if you don't mind. What information should I enter in "Marketplace URL": Marketplace » Tools » Marketplace Systems config.
This option was not available before. For the "Market Place Name" should i enter any name given? or is there an specif name ..

Thank you

at your-site.com/marketplace/systems there should already be an entry for:
Jamroom Network
http://www.jamroom.net

then you MODIFY that and put
Marketplace Email: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Marketplace System ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You get those from here:
https://www.jamroom.net/networklicense/licenses

it will have your jamroom.net details. once those are in, the markeplace should be working to update stuff from:
your-site.com/marketplace/browse

but it feels like a really weird question after that first one. those
jrDisqus-release-xx.xx

should only be there if the marketplace was already working.
