Forum Pagination


Suggestions

This is actually on my Evernote TODO list, but we don't have a ticket open on it. I know some sites are really going to want it, so we'll likely add it in. I'm not a fan of pagination in forums (and I don't think the rest of the team is either). But that also comes down to the "type" of forum you're running. Here on Jamroom.net our goal with the forum is support, so we really WANT to keep a topic to a short number of posts and discourage going off topic on a thread. Some forums are all about off topic.

I think it would be an easy add - the only thing that might be confusing is having the "followup post" form at the bottom of each page instead of at the very end. We can do either, but someone may not want to have to go to the last page in a topic to post a response, but that is the most logical.

bug in domain to profile


Installation and Configuration

Are we talking about W3 validation? That's something we look at from time to time, but it's really not very important unless there's nothing left to work on ...

I can check things out here in Jamroom.net

Ceri Shaw:k....great...will go set that up now.....develop trees and splash page and start inviting people to use the site from AC genealogy group once I have made a bit more progress....once again many thanks :)

No problem! Please let me know how it goes - Genosis has been mostly a "personal" project of mine as I love doing Genealogy stuff, so feedback is appreciated :)

A few remaining issues in member images galleries


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Brian -

IMO that's not correct.

Whats' going on here, I think, is that you're thinking that "group by gallery" is a global property and it shouldn't be. The behavior should be consistent with clicking on the images link in the top tab. Images are not displayed by galleries there.

This is only on the NingJa skin though - other skins display galleries.

Quote:On my Profile page I now have two buttons with different names that perform the same action. That's confusing to me. Why do I need two buttons that do the same thing - when each has a different name.

This is why I mentioned earlier that IF you have set the "Group by Gallery" OFF, then it makes sense to change the Menu item for Galleries to "images" instead of "gallery". This can be done in the Language Tab.

Alternately you could also change the "images" in the "stats" section to say "gallery". Then the text is the same.

What I'm trying to prevent doing is changing how the gallery works by default JUST for the NingJa skin. Does that make sense?

Since we have full control over the text, then it might make sense to just be sure the text lines up so there is no confusion...

Genosis Query


Genosis

Right now Site Builder only works on the 'Slate' Skin and the NingJa skin (although this is really beta I believe).

Down the road when site builder is no longer in beta, we will likely look at adding support for it to existing skins - Genosis would be a good candidate.

Yes - you can set JR up to approve new members - just make sure in the quotas you have allowed signups on (in the ACP -> Users -> User Accounts -> Quota Config) that you have the "Signup Method" set to "Admin Validation". You'll get an email when users signup so you can check them out and approve/reject them.

Hope this helps!

Genosis Query


Genosis

I've got you fixed up here - root cause was that your "Ceri Shaw" profile hadn't actually been linked into a tree (it did not have a tree id). I went in an "updated" your profile and it moved you into the Ceri Shaw tree, and then I "relinked" your profile to your parents, so it's working now.

You'll want to log out and back in again since there are new "profile" keys that need to be brought up into your session.

I'm going to check out the code in depth and see if I can put some code in to try and detect when a profile is not setup right and have the code "fix it", as normally you shouldn't see that.

Hope this helps!

Home Page Activity Inconsistency - Gallery


Installation and Configuration

item_index - this is the "index" page for a module on a profile - i.e.

yoursite.com/profile_name/audio

item_action.tpl - this a small template that formats what the entry for the module looks like in the activity timeline

item_detail.tpl - this is the template that renders the "detail" for a specific item in a module - i.e.

yoursite.com/profile_name/audio/##/audio_title

"Item Detail Features" (such as comments, tags, share this, etc.) appear on item detail pages.

item_list.tpl - This is the small "row" template that is the default for each entry when creating a list using jrCore_list. So (typically) when you view the module index on a profile - i.e.

yoursite.com/profile_name/audio

the "item_index.tpl" file is called, which in turn contains a jrCore_list call to "list" the items of that module. the item_list.tpl template is what formats EACH entry in that list

item_bundle.tpl - this is an "override" template for the FoxyCart bundles module - when viewing a bundle (which is a listing of items that can contain items from different modules), this is used to format entries of this module type when displayed in a bundle list.

A LOT of Jamroom is setup to work like this - we're pretty strict about keeping modules separated (where it makes sense).

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Home Page Activity Inconsistency - Gallery


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:This is where my understanding of the modular breakdown starts to happen. The change is in a template in the Activity module?

In item_detail or item_list.

Each module can provide an item_action.tpl file that the Activity module will use if found, so we just need to update the jrGallery/templates/item_action.tpl file.

Yeah this would just need an update on the activity template - we can check that out.

options unclear for rejecting member's application to join group


Installation and Configuration

This is completed in Profile Groups 1.1.6 - there were actually a number of language strings that had not been moved to the language file, so that's been updated and fixed and should be more clear.

Hope this helps!
