Search results formatting - long member names wrap weirdly


Installation and Configuration

Yeah it looks like it needs a clearing div - we can check it out.

More weirdness - missing blog post


Installation and Configuration

All searches are run identically - this:

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/search/results/all/1/10?search_string=renee

is handled identically to this:

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/search/results/all/1/10?search_string=cocoa

BOTH will find items and profile names with "renee" and "cocoa" in their search fields. But your 2nd and 3rd are looking for "renee" in the gallery and blog keys. If there were pictures or blog posts with "renee" in them they would show.

I think you know what I mean, I just want to be clear the two "all" searches are run the same - "cocoa" is not being treated different than "renee".

streamed content on diferent drive/subdomain/cdn

I'll do my best to explain this, but it requires an understanding of how UNIX symlinks work.

So....

Let's say you have TWO hard drives in your server:

/dev/disk1
/dev/disk2

and /home/yoursite.com is located on /dev/disk1

and

/mediastore is located on /dev/disk2 - you want all the media to be in /mediastore

So you would do this as the ROOT user:

cd /home/yoursite.com/data
mv media /mediastore (or cp -r media /mediastore)
ln -s /mediastore media

Now when you:

cd media

you're really going to /mediastore/media

Home Page Anomalies: Latest Forum Posts AND Newest Members not updating


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Okay, I see how this works now.

One thing to check on is that if I have a member whose profile is inactive and who has set global privacy to Profile Owners Only they still appear in this view - which I would not expect.

If you're viewing the site as YOU (master admin / profile admin) then you will see them. Try it as a normal user and you won't see them.

JR's privacy settings apply everywhere - AS LONG as the viewer is not an admin.

No - I don't think you did it right. That "mediadrive" symlink is wrong.

Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:For example, here's a search on "cocoa"

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/search/results/all/1/10?search_string=cocoa

That finds results in many modules, including blogs. I understand why, now, but it might lead people to think that there's nothing there or that something is broken.

I just ran that and see results though - am I misunderstanding what you're looking for?

Thanks!

Feature request - Finding active ex-Ning members (Still) in default quota


Using Jamroom

Do you mean in the Profile Browser? Users are not tied to quotas - only profiles are.

Does not count correctly?


Using Jamroom

It is something unique to your server - what exactly it is, I don't actually know. Sorry!

Installation and Configuration

It is:

ACP -> Skin Settings -> Media -> "Require Images" checkbox.

If that IS checked, then only profiles with a profile image will show. The variable in your templates will be:

$_conf.nsTCLSkin1_require_images

thechocolatelife:I see that.

The questions are "can you help me understand why this decision was made" and "can I make it happen on my site if I want to"?

This decision was made because:

- Searching for "Landen" will bring up a Profile result for "landen" - for those users that want to see everything by Landen they can go there (I'm assuming if someone wants to see all 36 of landen's blogs, then that is what they need to pick)

- since "profile_name" is a key that is part of the Profile module (not the blog module) it can't be searched as part of a Blog Search.

This is just the way it is designed. I would worry that making the search broader ultimately renders the search less useful. We can of course modify the module if this is something users really want, but so far you are the first to bring it up.
