PJ - A Few Bugs


Using Jamroom

I just tested the Quota setup here and I am not seeing any issues. Note that if you are the profile owner or a site admin, you will see them all. That way you can delete them if you want.

Hope this helps!

Existing users.


Installation and Configuration

Natedogg265:The way proxima works it lets you create an account very easily. That's awesome. Is there a method that checks for existing users?

You could try a signup - if the email already exists you'll get a 400 "account with user_email already exists".

Quote:I was thinking if the email address is included when signing up that it could automatically check for an existing user. And if there is one then they just get logged in and any new info sent would be added to the user table.

We definitely would not want to auto login without a password - that would be a big security hole :)

So right now you could try to signup - if you get a 400, create the account, otherwise login.

Hope this helps!

Proxima Login fail


Installation and Configuration

Natedogg265:I can create an account and update the user account. I did have trouble in one area of log in.

I would log in and as soon and the return came back from the server I would immediately post a payment. Proxima would never recognize the new session. The old session would still work. I thought well maybe I am doing it too soon and the server wasn't yet finished. But I kinda doubt that.

Yeah that should be immediately updated - it's not an "eventual thing". When you login and get that session_id in the return JSON, that means it is setup in the DB - when you try to use that immediately, what is the actual error you are getting?

Thanks!

New Feature Request - Who am I Following in addition to Followers


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Brian -

That bit about private profiles not being indexed by search engines (not just Google, right?) is really good news for some people.

I commend you on the decision to architect the system this way. Good job.

Thanks! The privacy setup was a big deal for us early on, as in JR4 it was kind of an "add on" so didn't function the same everywhere. In JR5 it's actually part of the core - every single query through a datastore has a privacy check to ensure what is being returned to the requesting user is only what they have permission to access. Its pretty cool, so thanks for noticing :)

PJ - A Few Bugs


Using Jamroom

The first 2 are skin related - make sure if you are running a clone of ProJam that you've "compared" with the latest to make sure you're updated.

As for number 2 - I can check it out.

New Ning To Jamroom Support Forum


Installation and Configuration

If you are on a Mac, YummyFTP is very good. I used to use FileZilla but it's not very good on the Mac (it has a tendency to get it's cache "stuck").

Tag Cloud items for Profiles?


Installation and Configuration

Tag Clouds work on profiles - in fact they worked there first.

How Does A Member Leave The Site ?


Using Jamroom

John Bizley:If a member wants to leave how do they remove their account as there does not seem to be a way for them to do it from their own profile account.

Also when they do leave do all their posts etc go with them. The reason I ask this is because I set up a test user which had a forum in it. A few test post where added but when I removed that profile the posts still showed in the activity, so when these where clicked on it went to a page not found.

Right now they would need to contact a site admin to delete their profile - we haven't exposed a way for users to delete their profile on their own, but I can see how that is needed - we'll get that added in.

As for the timeline entries - if a profile is deleted, any activity entries that are not ON the profile being deleted will remain. For the most part Jamroom does not make any assumptions about what is "OK" to delete beyond what is actually being deleted.

Hope this helps!

Recently Rated Gif's not Shrinking in Profile Index...


Using Jamroom

I've just pushed out a new version of the Image Support module that should fix this up. I ended up having to bundle an ImageMagick binary (convert) with the image module, as all the PHP based libraries really could not do it right. ImageMagick can properly resize an animated GIF and ensure the "frame timing" is all kept intact, which is what was breaking on these images.

Update and see if that looks better. If you still see the old versions, reset your image cache: ACP -> Media -> Image Support -> Tools -> Reset Image Cache.

Hope this helps!

New Feature Request - Who am I Following in addition to Followers


Installation and Configuration

Clay is right - the followers setup is designed to prevent spamming - we had a more traditional "friends" model in JR4 and it was an issue with many of our sites.

A profile set to private (or followers only) won't be indexed by Google (unless it was public for a while - I'm not sure how long Google takes to "expire" pages from it's index).

Hope this helps!
