Selecting "Newest Posts" tab from "All" on Home Page


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:However, if I click on Forums in the top nav and then click on the Newest Posts tab, I stay on the site Forums page - I don't go to my profile Forums page.

Just to clarify, you are always on your profile. The only difference is that the profile "sidebar" is being hidden on the first, and not the second - same URL, same forum, just a different layout :)

I've got your login here and will try to see why that is behaving differently and let you know.

The end result is the exact same URL - the only issue I see on your site is that the profile "sidebar" shows if you do NOT come in from the "Forums" menu option - is that what you're seeing?

Selecting "Newest Posts" tab from "All" on Home Page


Installation and Configuration

The "main forums" are on a profile - all forums are on a profile. It looks like it is already setup with the right URL:

{$_conf.nsTCLSkin1_forum_profile}/new_posts

Go into your Skin config and make sure the URL to the site forum is correct, and that will link directly to the "newest posts".

Let me know if that helps.

Activity Updates have been disabled for non-subscribers


Announcements

Recently we've been seeing an increase in the number of users signing up here on Jamroom.net just so they can put up Activity Timeline entries with spam links in them, so we've disabled the ability for non-subscribers to post manual Activity Updates. All the normal activity-based timeline entries will still show (i.e. if you follow someone), but you won't be able to add a new text entry.

Sorry if this impacts anyone, we just had to do something to keep the spammers off of Jamroom.net :)

Also - I just uploaded a new release of the Activity Timeline module that has a new "Can Post Activity Updates" Quota Config so if you see this same problem on your site you can do the same thing.

Please let me know if there are any questions.

Thanks!

Is this possible for viewing images


Installation and Configuration

John Bizley:Would this also be able to be done for video list pages in a similar way ?

Sure - any page that has photos on it can be "lightboxed" easily. The only issue in deciding though is does it interfere with the UI so the user can't view the item's detail page. Usually there is a title or something that goes with it though that we can link up to.

We'll get it checked out.

Custom Logo For Profiles (always looks skewed)


Design and Skin Customization

AndyF:Whenever my members (or myself) put in a custom logo image (in place of the system logo when viewing a profile), it always looks a little funny.

For example: http://social.decorativeconcretekingdom.com/brian-stallter
or here's another one:
http://social.decorativeconcretekingdom.com/josh-owens

Is there a way to adjust it so it looks correct? (I've played around with adjusting the images before uploading but it never seems to help much).

The height and width of the logo is defined in your skin's header.tpl file. If your users upload an image that is NOT the same width/height, it will look skewed. I would recommend letting your users know the width/height that is expected there so they can resize their image (or create a new one) that will fit the proper aspect ratio.

Hope this helps!
