Sending Message To Group members
Design and Skin Customization

gary.moncrieff:@Brian I remember late last year Paul told me he was working on an invite module but I havent heard anything about it since, maybe that is the answer?

Yeah we actually already have it mostly done - we just have hesitated to release it since we could not come up with a good solution to the spam problem. However it would be relatively easy to make it an "admin only" feature and get it released, so we will definitely check it out.

Sending Message To Group members
Design and Skin Customization

Let me ask a quick question for Ning users - our assumption has been that on your sites there are going to be a lot of different "group owners" - i.e. each user could potentially create their own groups on their profiles. With this scenario the "invite users to a group" or "send all group members a message" is open for abuse. However, the feeling I get is that a lot of you are running ALL the groups on your site - i.e. your users are NOT creating their own groups. In this case if we limited this ability to admin only, then I can see it being very useful. So if we made a feature like this that was only usable by admins would that be a good compromise or is the expectation that all users would want to be able to use this feature?

Thanks!

New Site Builder Module: How to Activate If your JamRoom Site Already Had It
Using Jamroom

Correct - I would not DELETE the old ones - just disabling them for now should be fine - especially if you are "live" - if you're not live, then you'll want to move forward with the new Site Builder so you can delete the others if you want.

Note that the new SB is still in beta though - it tries it's best to import from the existing system, but we've found the existing SB is being used in some creative ways so let us know how it goes.

Thanks!

Strumelia:And no new API YT problems will happen due to my using Seamless to pool all my videos types together in various places on my site? (sorry for all the questions!)

No - this change is not related to Seamless - it just updates the API that is used to talk to Google.

New Site Builder Module: How to Activate If your JamRoom Site Already Had It
Using Jamroom

Asil:@Brian. I took a risk and installed the beta module on the existing platform; in other words, I did not deinstall the current module set. I now see the new GUI.

Installing on top of the existing modules required that I reactive them. However, I'm not seeing a change in the version numbers assigned to the different site-builder modules, only the addition of a new module in that section named "Site Builder Core".

description: Site Builder Core provides support for all Site Builder functions
version: 1.0.5
requires: pass System Core 5.2.10
developer: The Jamroom Network, ©2015
license: Click to View License
directory: jrSiteBuilder

You need to disable ALL other site builder modules - only Site Builder Core should be active.

The other site builder modules will no longer be developed going forward, and are not needed with the new setup.

gary.moncrieff:thanks I went throgh all this, got my api key added it to module but when I click on YouTube Search button all I see is this

Youtube has changed their API. Steps need to be taken by this sites administrator to make this module work again.
See here: Connecting to the YouTube v3 API

Even through I have pasted the api key into the modules global config option.

Upgrade to version 1.2.1 - this has been fixed.

Thanks!

From the document I linked:

Quote:When prompted with the dialog to "Configure allowed referrers" You can put your site in or just leave it blank.

let me know if that helps.

New Site Builder Module: How to Activate If your JamRoom Site Already Had It
Using Jamroom

You need to go into the ACP -> Marketplace -> Tools - Release Channels and make the BETA Channel "Active" - then you will see it in the marketplace and can install it.

Hope this helps!
