  1. no upgrading instructions!!!
  2. even I I backed up my dbase and install fresh and restore my data the
    forum table makes problem note that I'm not using it at all so for the
    persons using it will be nightmare!!
  3. I can not use my costumed welcome pages... I do not want visitors to
    see inside my community before they sign up or login!!!
  4. where is chat enabler in the cpanel !!!! I was trying to use another
    chat system and disabled the build in one now I upgraded and want to use
    the build in to test but can not enable!!!!
  5. the groups addon is not working ... it is my old addon from version 2.3 why??? I just made a copy from /applications to /moduels and kept the original there but no success!!! it is nor compatible???!!!!!!!

Hi guys!

I've downloaded JCow 3 from Client Area and I've made a fresh installation.

For the moment...

1 - Chat does not exist.
2 - Add Video does not work. The system says: Invalid Youtube Video URL: xxxx... (but the url is correct) (*)
3 - My Account -> Notifications -> Turn off all notifications, press SAVE and does not work.
4 - Invitation system does not work. Try to send an invitation to a friend. No email arrives with an invitation to your friend.

This is just for the moment. Failures are common in newer versions. Patience.

I also say that there new and beautiful features. For example, the scroller effect of Community Activities, Invite, and advanced admin features. Congratulations!

I'm tested...

(*)One question: JCow required "allow_url_fopen" to ON in PHP.INI? I have a dedicated server and I have turned off this directive. This is my configuration:

register_globals = Off
allow_url_fopen = OFF
safe_mode = ON

These options must be ON / OFF for JCow? Thanks!

Hi Adil, you are so fast! :)
When you downloading Jcow v3 (07/19) we were still upgrading our site.
Here are the answers:

  1. no upgrading instructions!!!

    • The package has been updated and an upgrades folder has been added.
  2. even I I backed up my dbase and install fresh and restore my data the
    forum table makes problem note that I'm not using it at all so for the
    persons using it will be nightmare!!

    • please follow the steps in the upgrades folder.
  3. I can not use my costumed welcome pages... I do not want visitors to
    see inside my community before they sign up or login!!!

    • The homepage content has been moved to "YOUR_THEME_FOLDER/page.tpl.php"
  4. where is chat enabler in the cpanel !!!! I was trying to use another
    chat system and disabled the build in one now I upgraded and want to use
    the build in to test but can not enable!!!!

    • Just download the "chatbar" module and install it.
  5. the groups addon is not working ... it is my old addon from version 2.3 why??? I just made a copy from /applications to /moduels and kept the original there but no success!!! it is nor compatible???!!!!!!!
    • please download the latest version from the "client area"

[quote=toni]Hi guys!
1 - Chat does not exist.

  • In Jcow v3, the chatbar was not built in and became an extended module. You can download the chatbar module and install it. (http://www.jcow.net/modules/ )

2 - Add Video does not work. The system says: Invalid Youtube Video URL: xxxx... (but the url is correct) (*)

  • I tested the video module again and it works. Could you PM the video URL? I will test it again.

3 - My Account -> Notifications -> Turn off all notifications, press SAVE and does not work.

  • The settings you turned of were email notifications, which mean you will not notification emails. But you can still see the notifications on website.

4 - Invitation system does not work. Try to send an invitation to a friend. No email arrives with an invitation to your friend.

  • Have check the SPAM folder? some email clients automatically filter emails by some rules.
  • These options must be ON / OFF for JCow? Thanks!
  • Currently not.

Hello Vincent,

Thanks for your quick response...

1 - Chat does not exist:
Thanks, I did not know the existence of this area. Perfect. Solved!

2 - Add Video does not work:
The url is: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5gtAePR7v0&hd=1[/url]
I'm registered in demo.jcow.net and I've added this video correctly, but on my system does not work. :(

3 - My Account/Notifications:
This is what happens: I click on "save" buttom and an loading icon appears. The page does nothing. Do not save the changes.

(UPDATE)4 - Invitation system does not work:
Solved! This work fine.

Thanks :)

Hi Adil,
I have asked Bruce on this issue, and he said, you are free to use the module for both sites. But you cannot use it for new site.

Add Video does not work

  • Sorry I give a wrong answer to you. You need to make your server support the funtion "file_get_contents", which is needed by video module.

My Account/Notifications:
This is what happens: I click on "save" buttom and an loading icon appears. The page does nothing. Do not save the changes.

  • This is a bug. We will release a patch tomorrow. This bug will be fixed in that patch. Thanks for the report.
