derrickhand300:Thanks Brian- I understand...sorry to ask so much

No worries - just don't want you to spend too much time on it when it's not going to work using the JR functions.

How To Delete Account Type in "Sign Up" form Designer
Installation and Configuration

derrickhand300:Right now what I have is...
If I am signed in as admin and use the CREATE ACCOUNT- it will allow me to upload an image- although I have no idea where it is going

It goes into the media directory for the profile - i.e.

data/media/1/(profile_id)

Quote:If I am logged out the image upload fails...

That is correct - you cannot upload any file when logged out.

Quote:It just seems like I could be able to do 2 things
1- change the quota somehow so anyone logged out could create an account that allows image uploader to work

This will not work.

Quote:2-Redirect the image they upload from wherever its going now ( I dont know)- and redirect to
<input type="button" value="?" class="form_button form_help_button" title="expand help" onclick="$('#h_profile_image').slideToggle(250);">
or whatever place is appropiate

File uploads don't work when logged out and really can't with how Jamroom deals with media.

Sorry!

derrickhand300:Yeah it is...I thought maybe ultras
"="profile_image"
Would make it go to the profile...
still trying

If Require images is ON, then only items with images will be shown in lists - as long as:

require_image="profile_image"

is set (change "profile_image" to "audio_image" for audio lists, etc.).

Emails for forum updates
Using Jamroom

davej56:No, I don't have any non-Comcast address to use. Just out of curiosity, does the Talldude Networks use a different emailing system since that does work?

No - we use Mailgun for everything. The email you got earlier with your Hosting invoice was sent by Stripe - not by us.

If you have no other address then you will not receive updates from the site until the block is removed - just an FYI.

User Privacy Settings Don't Seem to Have Right Descriptions
Using Jamroom

davej56:Okay, so my question then is "How do they invite and approve followers" other than setting to Global?

Right now they would email the people they want to follow them. Otherwise if they want to be found and followed by people they don't know, then they would be Global.

Let me know if that makes sense. I know in the past we've had a few customers wanting to know how to make a profile "private but global", which seems to be what you are looking for, but it's tricky - what information do you allow to be global versus private?

User Privacy Settings Don't Seem to Have Right Descriptions
Using Jamroom

davej56:Brian, I set the profile to Global, then I could find her and follow her, which I did from Dave. After doing that, then I set her back to shared, and now Dave can see her at that setting. Before changing her to Global, I couldn't see her at all whether she was set to Private or to Shared.

If Dave is not an admin account, that is correct - like I explained above. If Dave is an admin account, then something is wrong - I've never seen that before though (it works here on Jamroom.net).

Quote:How can a Shared profile get any followers, if the profile can only be seen by people who are already followers? Seems to me that they have to set to Global to get any followers in the first place.

That's correct. The reasoning behind it is that with Jamroom we did not want the module developers to have to worry about privacy - it should be automatic, and 100% in control of the user. The site owner should not be able to "accidentally" expose private items.

So if a profile is set to followers only, then only followers and admins will see items in lists from that profile - that's hard coded at the core level and cannot be changed (again, on purpose).

If a profile is trying to get followers, then they need to be GLOBAL - it's that simple. If they set their profile to followers only, then the assumption is that they know WHO they want to see their profile and will invite them and approve them to be followers. If they want just anyone to be able to follow them and find them, then it is no different than Global.

Let me know if that helps.

User Privacy Settings Don't Seem to Have Right Descriptions
Using Jamroom

davej56:Hello there Brian. It's not working that way on my site. I use my account Dave, and I can't see the shared account at all. Linne doesn't show up on the Artists list--her quota. I can't follow because I can't get to the profile even with a search. So I figured that shared means they have to be a member and a follower both, to see her profile. Funny thing is, I just set her profile to Private and checked again, and I still couldn't see it from Dave. Something wrong with her profile?

No - there's nothing wrong with her profile - that's how the core privacy functions work. If a profile is set to a followers only privacy level, then only followers and site admins will be able to view the site in a list - i.e. the profile will NOT show up in the lists on the main site unless the viewer is a follower or admin.

The expectation is that if a profile WANTS to be private, then they should be private. If they want to be "found" then they need to set their privacy to Global.

derrickhand300:Not sure why it didnt fail then- but its failing now....I will try to get a new module made that maybe replaces the old sign up form with a new one ( as a module) I ahve ALWAYS requied users to upload a profile photo since the beginning to avoid having a bunch of default profile photos all over the place because they look really bad

You should just make sure the "Require Images" option is checked in your skin config.
