jrCore_load_url: invalid URL received


Using Jamroom

I've pushed a small update to this module that hopefully fixes the URL issue - let me know if you see any issues.

Thanks!

Question on setting 'banned' IP addresses


Using Jamroom

Strumelia:I'm assuming you mean putting "1" in there all by itself...not to do that. Gotcha. lol

Do you know the answer to this? :
am I to understand that the Banned IP list only stops them from joining or logging in? and does not stop them from merely browsing the site online, right? THUS- I can still expect to see them in the Who's Online list even after being on the Banned list, right?

Thanks!

That is correct - if you want to completely "ban" then from your site, you have to exclude them by adding:

Deny from 1.1.1.1

at the top of your .htaccess file.

We could actually update the banned item to block ALL requests, but it would be a bit of overhead on EVERY request, which the web server is better at handling.

Two things.


Installation and Configuration

Pam Givens:1. I would like to add an admin to help me and don't know how.

The easiest way is to have them signup for an account, then modify their user account and set their "user group" to "admin".

Quote:2. I might want to hire someone to put my site together. Where do I look for someone to help me.

Are you looking for design help? Or custom programming?

Thanks!

User Privacy Settings Don't Seem to Have Right Descriptions


Using Jamroom

Asil:@Brian. Thanks for confirming its a bug. Once this is fixed, if a profile is set as inactive, will that also nerf all the content associated with that profile so that only admins can see it?

Yes it should..

moving data from one module to another


Design and Skin Customization

There's no functionality built into JR that's going to help you here, nor are we doing anything like that in any module.

However, all you would really need to do is get the item from the one DS, then rewrite the keys so the prefix is correct for the new DS, and enter it.

User Privacy Settings Don't Seem to Have Right Descriptions


Using Jamroom

The Profile Active setting is not being checked properly - I've got it fixed for the next Profile module release.

Thanks!

User Privacy Settings Don't Seem to Have Right Descriptions


Using Jamroom

Asil: Where I get confused is when the PROFILE ACTIVE option is unchecked in the user's profile. Doing this puts a big yellow bar at the top of the profile that reads: "This profile is not active and is only visible to admin users and the site owner". However, when I log a test account on that has no ADMIN privileges, that account is able to see the profile of the account that's now marked as inactive.

I've reset the caches as the admin. I've cleared the cache on the test account and relogged. Same effect.

That's not related to privacy options, but is related to whether or not the profile is active. I have not actually looked in that area of code in quite some time - I'll check it out and see if there is an issue.

Thanks!

Date drop down showing date when not entered


Design and Skin Customization

Try setting the value to an empty string. The default is to use the current date.

Looking into this it should be easier to setup than I thought it would - should be able to support this pretty easily.

I've got a feature request ticket open on it here:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/tracker/1201/new-privacy-option-for-shared-but-visible

Check that out and see if that would be a good solution for what you are looking for.

Thanks!
