Silly Roboscript Question

[EroMediaGFX]

Figured I might ask on here, I just setup my first cam site with Roboscript and got everything to my liking and working fairly easily since the provided documentation is good and the videos explaining how are also easy to follow.

The only thing I cannot figure out for the life of me probably because I'm an idiot, is how to make blog posts go to a specific page that I can set into my navigation menu. I understand normally in wordpress this is done via Settings > Reading > Set static page > Pick your page for homepage + latest posts. In Roboscript however when I set this the cams simply end up generating on that page also rather than my blog posts.

I did put in a support ticket asking this but haven't heard anything back yet and also it appears roboscript's website is down currently?

Appreciate any advice on how to set my blog posts

"how to make blog posts go to a specific page that I can set into my navigation menu" - make any page in Wordpress and add it in RBS Cam MU -> Theme Settings -> Menu -> Custom Link.

[EroMediaGFX]

Will try this out now and let you know if it worked, appreciate it TurboB!

Did this and got my new page to appear on my nav menu but my blog posts will not go to that specific page still. Anywhere I can link you my site dont got enough posts on here too.

i also bought the php cam script. Completely useless, full of bugs. Support is completely lost. Nick doesn't answer anymore.

that's the clue...

[Webster01]

Whatever happend to Nick, it must be something serious.
I´m also concerned right now. He´s gone for a while already.

Nick is very kind and super nice!
If you buy a product, a script in that industry, you want exactly that type of support.
It´s not a team working on the scripts.
He´s alone and yes, sometimes it takes a bit, but he always makes sure to get everything working on the clients end!

It was always pretty normal to get a response within one day.

I also can´t explain it to me why his site went offline, why there´s no response on Skype......

Three years ago I called him on his mobile, unfortunately I forgot to save his number and I can´t scroll back so many years in my Skype history.
I would love to give him a call to ask what´s up....

Sometimes sponsors asking for phone numbers, they could try to reach him.
I know he did some coding for LiveJasmin a while back, if they have his number on file, anyone of their team could give him a call, please.

All we can do is to hope he´s fine and is coming back very soon!

[j3rkules]

His site has been down for a couple of days right now. I hope Nick will come back very soon.

Api

I don’t want to betray, but I turned to support one of the very famous camera sites, and the programming team responded:

"...this is a very old api that you don't need to use.roboscript is selling terrible scripts..."

[luann22]

And API

for the roboscript php cam script (and WP-script) you can buy the addon "self autoreg plugin" with which customers "can register on your aggregator page".

One of the big camsites staff replied me, that "we have not given any permission for roboscript to do this and self registration via your page it will not work".

luann22

You can use better script if Robo does meet your requirements.

[luann22]

Yes

Yes, this example of yours is like saying, "eat at a restaurant if mc. Donalds didn't turn you on"
Just that I've already had lunch at Mc. donalds ...

I bought the scripts, worked on it for weeks, corresponded with everyone. now the answer is "buy another." Yes, but that's not advice.

[TypeinNL]

I have also a question.

Been trying to get the best speed for the cam script and by defauld there is the .ttf fonts loading which are big and 50% of total resources when visitor is loading the site...

SFCompactRounded-Bold.ttf
1816.0 kb

But in the font folder there is also a .woff2 (the same font) arround 500kb 1/3 of size of .ttf.

Can someone share how i can edit this? Would help me and a lot of other users of the script a lot to reduce the download size and get faster speed / loading of site.

More cutting of size with with Font Squirrel to 45kb .woff and 35kb .woff2

[TypeinNL]

I have the new php cam script and wp cam plugin version. On both of them are the .ttf fonts loading...

[TurboB]

In the style.css you can replace fonts by your own.

You can see there are use whole family of that font:
SF-Compact
SFCompact

Search for these two - you will see 5 fonts in total of this family are used.

The easiest way to get rid out of this font - find some very lightweight font family, rename it and overwrite original ones.

SF-Compact-Display-Regular
SFCompactDisplay-Black
SF-Compact-Display-Bold
SF-Compact-Display-Semibold
SFCompactRounded-Bold

Or if you know a little of coding - delete fonts folder at all, remove loading of fonts in style.css and replace everywhere this f*cking font is used to some other which is integrated into browsers and doesn't requires any downloading.

I think that should be a good solution, but in the 5 font maps there are also .svg files. All around 1200-1300 Kb, but in the SFCompactRounded-Bold map the .svg is 6375 KB, what to do with that?

If there is someone who can change this and is willing to share that would be great, i am very interested in it.

You can change *.svg files too, or remove it completely.

Remove in style.css:

Change font family everywhere in a style.css:

SF-Compact-Display-Regular
SFCompactDisplay-Black 
SF-Compact-Display-Bold 
SF-Compact-Display-Semibold 
SFCompactRounded-Bold

To some font family which is loaded already in users browsers:

[TurboB]

Also, if you will change font to some which does not have variations such as Black, Bold, etc - you will need to play with font-weight where needed.

[TypeinNL]

Thanks TurboB! Will try this evening to modify the files.

[GoCastaway]

From here too, Thanks TurboB!

Also going to try this evening, alrdy took the 2 css parts out and the menu is now another font, think the browser default font.

will let you know.

[TypeinNL]

Ok guys. This tweak/ update is very significant.

I have reduced total download size from each visitor from around 4 / 5 mb to 1.6 mb this is a 60% / 70% reduction!

Speed is significant faster even without Cloudflare Argo activated. Because reduction in resources i might activate Argo gain (i deactivated this feature yesterday because i have sinds last week a big spike in traffic / and data cost...)

It's easy. Download the fonts you want to reduce in size. Go to fontsquirrel dot com and upload / download the optimized font. Go to your style.css file and edit the fonts. Also go to your theme/index.php file because there are a couple of lines of code (mobile redirect) for fonts you also need to modify.

I can't find anything related to fonts in index.php

It is in header.php
Sorry my fault, font should be removed/changed in header.php and style.css
I did this long time ago, so a little bit forgot about it.
I am talking about WP version.

This looks great!

Working on it now, and also saw the post from TypeinNL, so i am looking what i am going to do...

Until now only removed the 2 ccs parts and then i alrdy see another font in the menu, should be the standard browser font imo.

I am running mod_pagespeed with memcached for all js, css, image things, and wp-rocket only for caching - old version with cache time set to 5 minutes. Also on Cloudlfare cache everything is on.

With my setup infinite loader working fine, models on homepage are changing every 5 minutes.

Sounds good, but what i see mod-pagespeed has to be installed in Apache at the server, too difficult for me

Thnx for the info!
