line spacing in the Profile page "Bio" box still excessive


Installation and Configuration

I've just done some more testing and I've found another "case" where the spacing still comes through (basically the HTML tag order is different) so I'm working on a fix for it.

allow profile quota changes questiion


Installation and Configuration

soaringeagle:ok i see a subscription tab
thats what you mean you change the subscription and that changes you to that quota/

You don't have to do it through the subscriptions screen - it works right on the profile settings screen as well.

2 simple questions about private messaging/following


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:Understood. Makes sense. Thanks!- now I know and can explain to my members! ('cause on Ning it's different)

No problem :)

line spacing in the Profile page "Bio" box still excessive


Installation and Configuration

I'm not sure why that would happen - I'm wondering if there is extra space "handling" going on in the profile_bio area (which is where that is at). You can see the spacing looks fine in blogs - i.e.

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/blog/56/map-domain-names-to-jamroom-profiles

so check your blogs and see if the spacing is OK there - if it is that means it's a profile template issue in the NingJa skin.

Hope this helps!

other odd forum behavior....


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:I thought there WAS only 'the site forum'....but that as a formality it was located under a user, whom I named "Forums". But I don't want the member info of the user "Forums" to show on all the forums, threads, and posts- nor my own member personal info as Strumelia...which is showing in the screenshots above. I'm so sorry to be so difficult and cornfused. !

No worries. I just want to be sure everything is setup right and expectations are right before we say anything needs to be changed or there is a problem.

So just to be sure on your site:

- you only want ONE forum - the "Site Forum". This means you have disabled the Profile Forum for ALL quotas except the Quota that your "strumelia" profile is in.

- you have configured the NingJa skin with the proper Forum Profile URL setting so it matches the URL exactly of the URL to your "strumelia" profile forum URL.

other odd forum behavior....


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:Yikes, this is going to be really confusing to my members. I can't even really wrap my head around it.
I just want All the forums to be 'site forums'

I'm not sure that really makes sense - there's only one "site forum". Do you just want to disable the forum on your profiles and only use the site forum?

allow profile quota changes questiion


Installation and Configuration

soaringeagle:ok i read it but not sure i understand
i need to set up free quoutas in foxycart subscriptions?
i already have 'allow signup to quota' for new members new shops and featurted shops
i also have 'alow quota change' wich i was told meant they can change quotas to anyt quotas listed as "allow signup into quota'

That is correct. I'm not seeing any issues with the functionality on this end - the ability to change quotas is located on the Profile Settings forum - not User Settings (just to be sure you're looking in the right place).

Form Designer - Setup? Initialize?


Design and Skin Customization

Strumelia:Thanks- I do understand that i get to decide, and that the form collects and the template displays, etc.

My question is a bit different-
Say on Ning I had 3 signup questions that asked about a member's music taste. These questions and the member's answers are currently displayed on their imported profile pages., That's fine.
BUT...once the site goes live, say I CHANGE the sign up questions to be different- 3 questions about how long the prospective member has played music, what is their favorite song...
New members will I assume have those questions and answers shwoing now on their profile page (if I choose to 'show' of course)...but what will then happen to the older members' questions and answers showing on theri pages? Will the old questions remain on the older profiles, or will they be the new questions shown with the old answers...therefore not making sense?

I don't think anything will change since the "key names" for the old questions are not going to be the same as the key names for the NEW questions.

Quote:Also, my other little question: I notice that "password, and repeat password", by default, are 'required' on the user/signup form but NOT set as 'required' on the user/account form. Is this ok?

Yes - this allows the user to NOT be forced to change their password every time they update their user info (which you don't want).

Quote:and is the purpose of it to enable people staying logged in for up to 2 weeks if they select that option? Thanks!

No - updating passwords has nothing to do with the login cookie time.

Hope this helps!

Forum


Jamroom Developers

Yep - I know what you're looking for, and I think it is doable. I've just pushed out a large round of forum updates:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/announcements/21197/latest-forum-updates

So it's not something I can get to right away, but we've had a couple other requests for the same thing and it is on my todo list, so it's not far away.

Hope this helps!
