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.

The Main Tree vs The Research Only Tree


Genosis

lisa:It does help! I have about a handful of "research only" trees, and no default tree, and I was wondering if I clicked "merge tree" into the main tree if that would end up changing the ancestor profile numbers? Pretty much I decided I want to change how I originally set things up, but I don't want to screw it all up either!

No - the profile id's are not changed - what basically happens is that their tree_id is updated to the new tree so they show up there instead of in the old one.

One thing I forgot to add is that after you move the ancestor profiles, you need to search for them in the new tree and "link" them into your tree by adding a new child for them and selecting an existing profile in the tree - let me know if that makes sense.

Thanks!

Emails for forum updates


Using Jamroom

Looks like your mail server is down or is having issues - we are sending to you but only getting errors:

Quote:Will retry in 14400 seconds: (our support email) → (your email) '[Jamroom] New Reply: Will a ujGooglemaps map appear in a SiteBuilder panel?' Server response: 451 451 Try again in a few minutes

a "451" error means that an error was encountered in "local processing" - i.e. you are over a quota, the SMTP server is misconfigured, etc.

Let me know if that helps.

The Main Tree vs The Research Only Tree


Genosis

lisa:I have poked through your site and found it wonderful!! How do I move my ancestors from the research only tree into the main tree? Will this affect any of the folks who are currently working in the tree?

No - it won't affect anyone, but it will be in a new tree so they will need to look for it there:

1) find the ancestor profile you want to move
2) click on the gear icon to "modify" the ancestor profile
3) click on the "Move To Another Tree" button in the header
4) select the tree you want to move the profile to
5) check the "include ancestors" if you want to also move all of this profile's ancestors (parents and further back)
6) Press "Move person to selected tree"

That's it - they should be in the new tree now.

Let me know if that helps.

Question About Profile-Centric


Using Jamroom

derrickhand300:When I started making my Jamroom site I really struggled with the idea of "profile-centric" and didnt like it at all-unfortunately now that I am near the end of making my site I have a better understanding of how "profile-Centric" works and I REALLY like it...BUT I have built many pages outside of profiles....today I am creating a custom profile menu THAT ALSO opens these items in the User profile ( I will still keep the outside pages I created)

Like I said I really like it now that I understand better...but my question is if a user is not a member...how do they find the content if its in profiles...sorry wish I could ask this question better...maybe I don't quite understand as well as I would like...If I had not changed so much on my site I could just use the default settings and see how it works...but I have made to many changes...so my question is how do non member viewers find the content on member profiles...
Just trying to finish wrapping my mind around this :)

As long as the profile that holds the content is not private, then it should show up in a search. You can also link directly to the page from elsewhere if needed.

If you are trying to make lists of items, then you can specify the individual profile id's for the content OR you can place them in their own quota and use that in your jrCore_list calls.

There's quite a number of ways - it just depends on how you want to go about it.

Hope this helps!

A Question About Trees


Genosis

lisa:Hmmmmm... so if it is unchecked, will researchers still be able to work on it or no? I guess I want to put information in my main tree, but I still want the researchers to be able to work on their respective families. What do you suggest?

Yes - researchers can always work on any tree - the "researchers only" option simply makes that tree only visible to researchers, so you should be good.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

The Main Tree vs The Research Only Tree


Genosis

lisa:I think so. LOL! My default tree is empty, and I only have "research only" trees. Or is it best to merge all the research trees into the default tree and not have separate "research only" trees? How do YOU do it? :-)

Researcher trees are handy - here's how I do it:

- I have my "main" (default) tree - the "Johnson and Fisher Family Tree":

http://johnsonfamily.talldude.net/

- When I am working on a branch I feel sure about, I will often just work right in the main tree

- If I am not sure about something and will likely be adding/removing ancestor profiles frequently, I will create a new Researcher only tree and do my work there

- When I feel it is "ready to go" I move the ancestor profiles from the research tree to my main tree and delete the research tree.

That keeps things pretty organized and it has worked really well for me so far. I know not everyone probably works like I do though, so let me know if you do it differently, or feel like Genosis could be updated to fit your work flow better.

Thanks!
