Form Designer Suggestions


Suggestions

gary.moncrieff:Not seeing anything in error log so it might have been a temporary server thing.

Just to add some of these field types would make developing modules easier too.

On this note if one has added fields to a module via form designer, and then packages and exports the module, do all the fields get added to the modules index.php file so that when someone installs it all the fields are set?

They are not added to the site's index.php file (the developer tools can't write into the PHP code like that) but if you check the "Export Form Designer" option when packaging a module, they are written out to a JSON file that is imported.

Let me know if that helps.

Issues with Image Gallery


Genosis

aedross:I installed the module. Activated it. Then I uploaded a photo to a gallery. Photo uploaded, when I clicked on the photo in the gallery, it loads and loads, the browser gives an error message.

What I noticed is that the photo file had an extra jpg extension, photo1.jpg.jpg

I deactivated the gallery module, uninsulated it, ran the clean cache and integrity checks.

When I reinstalled, under the media menu the gallery appears, but no where can I see the tab to insert a gallery and upload photos. I emailed my log on details earlier, I can do so again for you to please have a look. Thanks

Yeah something is not right there - makes me think the module did not get fully installed properly (although the marketplace checks for this). Try this:

- go into the info tab for the gallery module and delete it
- re-install it from the marketplace and try again

If you see this same issue again, shoot me your login info to support [at] jamroom [dot] net so I can check it out - the Gallery module is a really widely used module and I've never seen this before.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Feedback please for jamroom.net site flow


Using Jamroom

Strumelia:Last thing I'll say today-
Main page... what's one of the top 3 most awesome things about Jamroom?

The Jamroom Support Team!!!!!
Dont be shy- have something on your main page about "Our Support Team is second to none": Read what our users are saying..." and then link it to a page with quotes about the support service, from people like US- using our user names and a link to our live JR sites. Happy to add mine. Get a dozen of these customer happy quotes on one page for people to see and read.
Keep in mind that ning is dying a slow death from cutting off their customers...turning their backs on us all. We are looking for platform that has an active and present and caring customer support Team. Your main page has not a single word about that, yet you do it better than anyone on earth. It's a HUGE factor when people are considering a major site decision or site migration.

That's a great point - thanks for that!

gary.moncrieff:Hi Brian

For the image type field options is greyed out, and for file for example if you use a number it will give you a white screen.

Hmm.. definitely should NOT get a white screen - can you let me know what the error is in your php error log?

Thanks!

Soundcloud playback counts are skyhigh?


Using Jamroom

Since the soundcloud player is "auto play" it's going to count a play for everyone that views the page for the song.

Using Jamroom

Strumelia:On the main page at top, the list across touting :
Blogs • Audio • Video • Galleries • Social • eCommerce • More

I'd suggest adding Forums, Events, and Groups...which are things Ning folks will be specifically looking for. Maybe put "Mobile-responsive" instead of the boring "More"

Appreciate the feedback :)

Using Jamroom

Strumelia:On this page: https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom

The page has a dated look, which doesn't inspire confidence. The chunky bold titles??...whole page should look more modern and fresh.
But the biggest problem was that it took me a while to realize that those big green clunky boxes were actually LINKS to go find out about each subject. I thought they were just statements. The "let us do it for you'/import service shouldn't be 'just another green box/statement', since so many ningers need that help and assurance- I feel it should have more importance on that page.

Yeah that is a bit long in the tooth and is a page that is easy to overlook on our end - thanks for the feedback - we'll get some updates in place.

And just to add we've not "invited" any JR site to the showcase in a long time - we need to get on that :)

Using Jamroom

Strumelia:I find it a little confusing figuring out the diff between "Site Showcase" and "Member Sites" Both pages are supposed to show off live JR sites, right? Why separate?

Member Sites = any JR User that is a member (i.e. any subscription) can "submit" their site to the Members site section - as long as it is a JR site that is not "under construction" we will activate it in the Member list.

Site Showcase - these are sites that we have actively solicited a quote/feedback from the user for the sole purpose of "showcasing" the site - i.e. it is by invitation.

Let me know if that helps.
