notified by email, when a guestbook entry


Using Jamroom

1) I will check this out - it's one of the oldest JR5 modules so may not have been updated to use the notifications system.

2) If you wrote the blog entry yes - if you just commented on it, no.

Hope this helps!

GROUP search to include group discussions code...?


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:Sorry, I'm not very good at this. I have around 62 groups that I want to have this search box added for their own members to search within each group's discussions. How/where do i do this?

It depends on where you want the search to show up at..

Quote:and a little question- if I delete a group in the future, does that resort and change all the other groups' ID #s ?

No - once an ID is created it is never used again - if the item is deleted, that ID no longer exists in the DataStore.

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function


Using Jamroom

Just to chime in that we do have an active ticket open on this, but really want to make sure it is done right. It's not as simple as using "Seamless", but we will come up with a good solution for this issue. It's going to be a lot of work, so I would expect this to be a Jamroom 5.3 (or 6.0?) feature.

GROUP search to include group discussions code...?


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:Is there some way to run a search for a key word or phrase within a particular Group's discussions ? (see post above this)
For example, I have a very big and active Group on my site for Dulcimer Builders/Luthiers. On ning, the group members can run a search right within that group for "bass bar" or "planetary pegs" and it will pull up all the discussion posts within that group that include those terms. It's invaluable for them to find past information within the Builders Group, since there may be hundreds of discussions going back years.

Sure - you just need to add the group_id in you want to only search within - i.e.:

{jrSearch_module_form search="discuss_group_id = 5" fields="group_title,group_description"}

That says "only search for discussions where the discuss_group_id = 5" and "search the group_title and group_description" fields.

Forum Mising


Using Jamroom

bestsingletravel:Ok I have done that and now have forum on admin profile - how to add the forum to a separate page so everyone can discuss like in Jamroom

You mean like you see here?

The forum here is on the "the jamroom network" profile - it's not on a separate page...

Event Search


Using Jamroom

bestsingletravel:Duh - I see it now - will it search by location, name..?

What about a members search - I don't see that (should I start a new topic?)

Members are searchable - i.e.:

https://www.jamroom.net/search/results/all/1/4?search_string=brian

See "brian" under "profiles" ....

Is the 'Show All Images' in the Ningja Skin Paginated


Using Jamroom

Ahh - that one is actually controlled in the Image Galleries "Global Config" section - it's the "Max Images per Page" setting.

Default I believe is 48 which is evenly divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 which keeps it "nice" looking when a user clicks the size buttons in the upper right.

Hope this helps!

I think I've made a mess of my set up.


Installation and Configuration

For now I would recommend NOT using Site Builder. Until you get a handle on how Jamroom works, trying to "design" your site is just going to add more complexity when you don't need it.

You can do a full reset of the system as the master admin go to:

ACP -> Tools -> Developer Tools -> Tools -> Reset System

After that go to ACP -> Skins -> NingJa and check the "active" checkbox and make it your active skin.

Then re-run the Ning Import.

The important thing at this point is to begin understanding how Jamroom works - once you are comfortable with that THEN move on to more custom and complicated tasks.

Let me know if that helps.

Yes it is - I believe it is set to show 12 images per page.
