Yep - after the header, and before that opening DIV - i.e.

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col12 last">
        <h1>Featured Profiles</h1><br>
        {jrCore_list module="jrProfile" profile_id="1,2,3,4" limit=4}
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Profile info tabs and name still showing up when clicking "ALL" Group discussions
Using Jamroom

No - you don't need to post the template - it's not actually affecting this.

Quick question just so I am sure I understand what you're looking for: You want it so when viewing ANY page inside a group (the group itself, the discussions, etc.) that you want it to NOT appear to be part of a profile - i.e. hide the profile header and sidebar?

If that is what you're looking it's not really going to be easy to do in templates - we would have to make this be some sort of config option in the NingJa templates and code in the necessary pieces (since part of this is NOT controlled by the group templates).

With Paul out of town and Michael and I busy on Site Builder it may be a little bit, but we can get that down as a TODO item for the next NingJa release.

Thanks!

I'm sorry - I thought you were trying to figure out why the profile header was showing in the second screen - I wanted to point out that it is "supposed" to be there in the first...

However, I'm not sure how you removed the profile header from your first - it's not part of the item_detail.tpl. How did you remove it from the first? Are you sure the header is not still there and just "underneath" the main site header (which is floated on TOP of the body content)?

Strumelia:
Which template should I check for the differences in?-- differences I mean between my custom SKIN and the Ninja SKIN? Or in one of the jrGroup modules?

It would be the jrGroup/templates/item_detail.tpl - that's the main "group" template.

Strumelia:
Is there anything on the horizon for us to be able to 'Feature' content on our sites, like at least be able to 'feature': Forum discussions...Groups...videos...members...
Such 5 or 6 featured items would appear in a 'featured' box at the top of each of their respective content type page, such as on: site.com/forum, site.com/group, site.com/profile etc. In ning we have this, which looks great and we can change up the featured ones whenever we like:

This is already supported. Like almost everything in Jamroom it is customizable by you by editing the templates. So for example - if you wanted to feature "profiles" at the top of your profile index - i.e.

yoursite.com/profile

Then you would create a new template (if it does not already exist):

jrProfile_index.tpl

in your active skin directory. Copy the existing modules/jrProfile/index.tpl content into it and add a "feature" section at the top - i.e.

{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" profile_id="5,9,13,25" limit=4}

Add it to the HTML to suit your needs. "5,9,13,25" are the profile_id's for the profiles you want to feature. jrCore_list can be used to "feature" or do pretty much anything you want.

If you're wondering "when is Jamroom going to be updated so we can feature whatever we want without having to make any template changes" then you will want to use Site Builder when it comes out of beta - that's what it is being designed for. Once Site Builder is out of beta our recommendation will be:

- if you want 100% control over every tweak and change on your site - learn how to modify your site using templates
- if you want it to be "drag and drop" easy - use site builder.

Hope this helps!

And here's the "All Discussions" view - you can see the profile header is identical between the 2. I would check your templates for any customizations that has removed the profile header from your group view.

Emails for forum updates
Using Jamroom

SteveX:
Thanks Brian, I'll look into that. I've seen no other email problems though, and that is my main email address.

This error is not coming from our system - this is from Mailgun, so something is going on at the SMTP level for your server.

The Main Tree vs The Research Only Tree
Genosis

lisa:
It makes sense... do I have to do that for every single ancestor if I merge them or only if I "move" them?

Let's say you move a profile and all it's ancestors - all the "links" between the profile you are moving are all retained - you just need to link it into the right place in the tree - i.e. add an existing profile as a child - everything else will remain linked as it was.

Let me know if that helps.
