Forum
Jamroom Developers

I want to update this thread with the work I have been doing:

1) It's not likely we are going to implement threaded results here in the Profile Forum module - there's just too many variables in play with the existing categories, searching, pagination, etc. to get it in place and have it work correctly.

2) I've updated the User Comments module however to have threading available. So for all non-forum areas, you can have threaded comments

3) We are working on an update to the Ning Importer that will import non-grouped results to a "forum" group - for those of you that MUST have threaded comments in your Forum. Note that currently Ning does not really have a "forum" like we have here for Jamroom - instead Ning just has "pages with comments on them" as it's forum, so this solution will basically make the Jamroom Groups module work for the "site forum" (where the comments can then be threaded).

If anyone has any questions let me know. We're in testing right now on the new User Comments threading setup and will have that released as soon as it is ready.

Thanks!

line spacing in the Profile page "Bio" box still excessive
Installation and Configuration

I've just released Jamroom Core 5.2.21 that has much better "detection" of the multiple lines issue - update and let me know if that looks better. Unfortunately the HTML that is causing these extra lines can be all ordered different (as well as have spaces and line returns between them) so it's a bit tricky to catch it all, but 5.2.21 should be much better.

Thanks!

forum user/profile deletion
Using Jamroom

blindmime:Hmm. I just want to delete the profile, not the user. I want to give them a profile I've already set up. It's already got information and items in various modules.

That should be no problem - just note that if you DELETE a profile you delete that profile's items they have created - just an "FYI".

Quote:Another thing. They sent me a private note just now. When I look at it, it shows their name as simply "@".

So I'm a little confused. If I assign someone multiple profiles and later delete one, is it going to mess with their user presence like this.

No it shouldn't. If you have multiple profiles assigned to a single user account, and you delete ONE of their profiles, the items associated with the profile you deleted will be removed. One thing that might be happening (I'm not sure I'm just thinking out loud) is that if the user was ON that profile last - i.e. the profile you deleted was their "active" profile id, you may see this as JR would see the user, but the profile event listener which normally adds the profile info into the user data would not be able to find the profile info (since it had been deleted).

Quote: Or is it just deleting the initial profile created when they first sign up for an account that causes issues? I guess I could keep the "signup profile" as a kind of dummy profile, but it's a little complicated. Just thinking how to approach this, I guess.

I would recommend doing this - there a places in JR that check for the user's "Home Profile" which is their initial profile. However, as long as the account is properly linked to additional profile id's, I think you should be able to delete it and have it all work.

Quote:This is potentially problematic for me because many of my sites are directory websites where I have set up profiles for people or businesses prior to them setting up an account. They often sign up for a user account and claim an existing profile. It's common for directory websites to work this way. Think Yelp, etc.

This really should work no problem - you just have to make sure the user account gets linked up to the profile either manually via the User Profiles -> Tools -> Link User Accounts tool or automatically (which I think you have a small custom module that does it for you?)

Hope this helps!

Dashboard error message
Using Jamroom

michael:If you want to enable the du function then you'd do that in php.ini. If you want to hide the message, use the settings button on the dashboard.

Actually this is not related to PHP, so you don't need to do anything with your php.ini.

I'd recommend just hiding the message - you can ignore it :)

Hope this helps!

Create a new section on Profiles
Installation and Configuration

andrusito:Oh, now It's clear about the ALL USERS setting.

Fortunately I could fix the problem. Actually it was not a Jamroom problem at all..
I was seeing another template, so I had to edit the "item_list.tpl" file.

Thanks for your support Brian!

No problem - glad you got it fixed. Thanks!

I think we just need to update the calendar icon to one that looks a little more "modern" - we can do that. Note that the small calendar icon links up to the calendar view, so just an FYI that if you remove it then you remove that quick link to the calendar.

Account Name / Member Name confusion (or is it just me?)
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Michael -

I did the cache clearing (in JR and in two separate browsers) and ran the integrity check and am still seeing the problem. It is on my home page in the Lastest Forum Posts section.

Waiting to hear back about the fix. Ready to send the letter to my members.

This is a bug in the forum module and I've got it fixed up for version 1.5.0 which will be out soon.

Thanks!

thechocolatelife:Two quick things on my home page now -

How to get rid of the little calendar icons on the Events block and where did the background color go in my Latest Forum Discussions block?

I think that is in the modules/jrEvent/item_list.tpl file.

thechocolatelife:Brian -

I think that some of the issue is that I have been working with Paul and there is stuff that is hard-coded into the templates that could be done in the CSS. That's why some CSS changes don't "take".

Yeah this is something we really need to do - over time a lot of these small style tweaks get built up in the templates and we need to get them moved back into the CSS classes. It requires an "audit" of the skin, which can take a long time, but we will work on that as we can.

Thanks!
