dead links (email notifications, hyperlinks not active?)

This is not the correct URL, and the reason it shows as this is that you have enabled OPEN and CLICK tracking in Mailgun, which makes Mailgun rewrite the URLs in any sent emails - this will interfere with Jamroom's tracking. Go in to your Mailgun control panel:

https://mailgun.com/sessions/new

go to your Domain and make sure "Click Tracking" and "Open Tracking" are OFF.

When you set the Profile Active setting OFF, it means the profile is no longer "active" on the system. It's not "cloaked" - it's just not active so won't appear on the site.

I'm not sure what wording would be better to describe something that is not 'active' than "Profile Active". But I can check it out. If it's confusing then we'll want to try to find a better way to possibly explain or link it up to documentation or something.

Using Jamroom

It's important to remember in Jamroom that there are 2 entities for a user - a USER account and a PROFILE. Multiple users can be on a profile, and multiple profiles can be attached to a single user. This is why there is a separate ACTIVE flag for the 2.

- the ACTIVE flag for the user controls if the USER account is active. This will affect whether the user can log in or not

- the ACTIVE flag for the profile sets whether or not the PROFILE is visible or "active" in the system.

You would not want to set the profile inactive to prevent 1 user from logging in if there were 5 users attached to the profile, just the same that you would not set one of the users inactive if you wanted to disable the profile for all 5 users.

We could probably add this as a core provided option in the User Account area, but I hate adding additional fields that are only needed 1% of the time. Every time we add ANY new config option or field it is going to confuse some users, which we'd like to avoid. No matter what we set the label and help to be we will get questions in the forum here asking this exact same thing - what is the difference.

If you are worried your admins are not going to understand this, I'd send them an email outlining the difference, or post a private message to them with something they can reference.

OK if you find it let me know and I will check it out.

Thanks!

That field is only visible to admin users so cannot be translated - sorry!

Jamroom already works this way - the video would be created on THEIR profile. The only thing that would not happen is a timeline entry showing that it was posted, since they did NOT post it

Using Jamroom

Go to the User Settings form and click on the "Form Designer" button. Create a new field called "user_active" and set it up as follows:

Label: "User Active"
Sub Label: (leave empty)
Help: whatever you want for help
Field Type: text
Field Options: (leave empty)
Default: 1
Validation: (number) a whole number greater than or equal to 0 (zero)
Minimum: (leave empty)
Maximum: 1
Display Groups: select "master admins" (or profile admins if you want your admins to have access)
Required: check
Active: check

Save that and you'll now have a new "User Active" field in the User Settings form.

Set the value for a user to "0" and they will not be able to log in. Set it back to "1" and they can log in.

Let me know if that helps.

Well no - if you change their password and then directly log in AS THEM, then you are in their account and can do what you want. However OneAll may NOT function correctly since you were not the one to "link up" the account.

Using Jamroom

Private Notes are a "user" level option - i.e. each user gets their own inbox. Making a PROFILE inactive will simply prevent that profile from being visible on your site.

To keep the USER from signing in or doing anything on the site you need to:

1) set the "user_active" flag to 0 in the DB (by default this does not show in the user settings form, but I think you can set this up in the form designer)

2) go into Dashboard - Users Online and click "log off" next to the user

I too find ShareThis annoying, but make sure you have enabled the "copy n share" option in ACP -> Item Features -> Share This -> Global Config -> URL Options tab.
