System Core update stalled? (self-hosted)


Using Jamroom

Brian:
It turns out the issue was not that the update stalled, just a failure to communicate success. When I reloaded the page I got the success notice. I did an integrity check followed by resetting the caches and all appears okay.

I did not reset the PHP Opcache as it’s new (to me) and I am not sure it’s needed.

Joe – not sure it’s relevant but this instance of Jamroom is at Contabo.

System Core update stalled? (self-hosted)


Using Jamroom

After starting the update to 7.0 the icon is still twirling after about thirty minutes. The cancel button is not active and so I cannot cancel the update that way.

What are the consequences of just closing or reloading the page – and what should I look for on the server (and in what directory) to see if there is a temporary file that should be deleted?

The site is still loading properly in another window.

SSO Jamroom integration with Ghost


Jamroom Developers

Brian – I am slowly refamiliarizing myself with Global and Quota config options.

Say, for the Image Galleries module I deselect “Allowed on Profile." This would allow members of the quota to SEE galleries already published by clicking on the Images button in the top nav but would not allow them to upload.

There is also a media upload module so I could turn off uploading, but I want people to upload images into Forums posts.

SSO Jamroom integration with Ghost


Jamroom Developers

Brian -

1) I am wondering, how much of making everything read-only can be done using Quotas? There are many different profile quotas at the moment. I can simplify them all down to one that restricts uploads and postings for historical members. I believe I can do this for image uploading for example.

This would let me keep one or two quotas with posting/uploading permissions for some privileged users.

2) I am also wondering about an email import feature I thought I saw in the Marketplace. (Used with the User Link module?)

I would like to export all of the active email accounts from Ghost and import them into Jamroom ... if the import feature has dedupe capability. There is going to be some overlap between the two collections. I can see a related issue when it comes to quotas unless there is a way to specify a target quota. I could do the import in tranches targeted at specific quotas.

Brian:

I want the section labeled as Forums (with the classifieds section) to be updatable - that’s the point of the exercise. However, I want to be able to set the other sections as read-only..

SSO Jamroom integration with Ghost


Jamroom Developers

Brian –

As an aside when it comes to disabling signups (I haven’t looked at the code base much since 2017):

I want for visitors to see everything in the archive but disable uploading new photos in the galleries, new videos, not create new blog posts, and the like. I know I can remove nav items like Events and Group from the header template which means visitors can’t navigate to them ... I am assuming that if there is an external link from Google or elsewhere removing the nav element will not prevent that page from displaying.

Gotcha. I will present this to my developer and if there’s a need for some custom coding on your side we can have that discussion when I get there.

SSO Jamroom integration with Ghost


Jamroom Developers

Brian:

I know it’s for node.js – which makes sense given the Ghost stack. My developer has no problem setting up a simple middleware server dedicated to handling these requests.

I have been assuming the user is coming from Ghost and the first time through thus not have a user account. If they are authenticated on the Ghost side we have both unique (email) and non-unique (username) IDs and a gravatar or avatar.

Ghost does not use passwords but IIRC Jamroom can autogenerate them and maybe email them? (It has been a while.)

It would be nice to also set up a Ghost account if someone signs up for Jamroom without a Ghost account.

Small steps.

SSO Jamroom integration with Ghost

Brian:

It has been a while.

SSO is a sore topic on the Ghost side, to be sure. There have been some SSO progress but nothing official. My sense is, according to people in the know, that it is doable using a custom adapter in Ghost and a service that sits between Ghost and the other site. I was thinking of asking my developer to use the OneAll API and Passport to build something for Ghost.
