Continued Calendar / Event challenges


Using Jamroom

I think the best we can do at this time is have it so events will show until their start time + (number of minutes AFTER the start time). The problem is that each event in a large listing could have a different end time, and thus a different "length". There's no way for us to handle that type of "unique range value per item" when generating a listing.

So right now I was going to go with start_time + 1 hour as the default and have it be a config option that can be set at the site level. While not perfect, my hope would be that it would be useful to not have the events drop off the listing immediately.

email notifications 'gobbledygook' replacing names?


Using Jamroom

Those are replacements for emoticons (emoji), and should be stripped from email - can you let what notifications you are seeing with that in it?

Thanks!

This is a bit trickier than it may seem to handle - I'm not sure the DS functions WILL handle it, but I am checking it out.

Thanks!

Simple Chat / Ninja Skin some icons not showing?


Using Jamroom

I have reset the chat CSS on your site for you and moved it out of the style section. I have not been able to replicate this here, but will continue to check for it. If it happens again, and you can note what you did just preceding it, let us know.

Thanks!

joanna:Huge thank you for this help.
So, #1 from the above we may call solved.

Do you have any magic wand to help me to resolve the #2 - so the event should disappear when it finishes not when it starts. What code should I use for it?

I'm not sure at this point - I'm looking at the module to see how it is implemented and will let you know.

This is fixed - there were TWO jrCore_list calls in that template that both needed to be changed. I changed the second call and it is working.

How to delete a large number of Profile/User AND their content?


Using Jamroom

Strumelia:One note though- we'd need to be able to look over all the members targeted for removal and remove a few before deletion

Doesn't this mean you would need to manually look through each user? In that way it is already supported.

To be honest I'm not be a big fan of "batch deleting" - too many ways it can go wrong, and typically it is a "one time cost" operation - i.e. it's not something you do on a regular basis, so optimizing and tweaking code that is used ONCE for the lifetime of the site (or say once a year) is hard to put at the top of the priority list of coding work that needs to be done.

Not saying we're not going to do it, but just wanted to point out the thought process when looking at if this is what we spend limited development hours working on.

That should have fixed it - can you open a ticket with your login so I can check out the template?

Thanks!

#1 - I just looked in your DB and I can see you have an error in your customized jrEvent/index.tpl - you have:

{jrCore_list module="jrEvent" order_by="event_date descc" pagebreak=10 page=$_post.p pager=true}

See the double "cc" in your order_by? That's incorrect so it defaults to _item_id DESC. You want to change this to:

{jrCore_list module="jrEvent" order_by="event_date asc" pagebreak=10 page=$_post.p pager=true}

#3 should be fixed on your site as well - let me know if that looks better.

This is something we are investigating to find out why the chat CSS was overridden when it should not have been.
