A few remaining issues in member images galleries
Installation and Configuration

Shouldn't both the stats link AND the menu simply point to:

http://www.sitename.tld/membername/gallery ?

Since that is the "index" page for the profile's images. It will either be the most recent grid of images (if Group By Gallery is OFF) OR a list of their galleries (if Group By Gallery is on) - that is the most consistent and "logical" way to handle it in my opinion.

Is that not correct?

Thanks!

soaringeagle:its on your server too then

I don't understand what you're saying - there are no issues connecting here on Jamroom.net that I am aware of...

Events in Wrong Order
Installation and Configuration

The more I think about this, I don't think going to DESC is the best solution - here's why:

- if past events are NOT shown, and let's say you have 20 events, then ordering by event_date DESC means the events that are the farthest away in time are shown first. Wouldn't we want the events that are CLOSEST to happening to be on the first page? This would be order by ASC.

- if past events ARE shown, then I think we really should go into a 2 step order:

- order by events that have not happened yet ASC (so the event closest to happening is at the top of the first page)
THEN
- order by events that have already happened ASC (so the most recently happened event is closest to the front).

Does that make sense? Just ordering by DESC doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

What happens when removing a member in JR?
Installation and Configuration

In Jamroom if you delete a member, the member content is deleted - it is not archive or saved.

If you need to "save" the data (for potential restore), then instead of deleting them you would move them to a "hidden" Quota that had all the quota access turned off - that basically "hides" their data on the site.

If you want to remove the user account but leave the data you can click on "Delete" from the User Browser and that will just delete the user account associated with the profile, and leave the profile (which contains the data).

If you wanted to delete the user AND prevent them from creating a new account you could either just change their password (easiest) and NOT delete the account OR you could add the email address as a Banned Item in the Banned Items module.

With those choices you should be able to take care of it any way you would like. The only thing we don't have is some type of notification for deleted accounts (there is for PENDING accounts that are rejected).

Hope this helps!

options unclear for rejecting member's application to join group
Installation and Configuration

All this actions are just for the group - we can change the text so it is clearer.

To reject a user, just delete the user.

Hope this helps!

Jamroom and proxima
Installation and Configuration

There is documentation here:

https://www.jamroom.net/proxima/documentation

And yes - it is OK to run Proxima on an existing Jamroom. Just note that by default Proxima "hides" profiles, so make sure after install that you go into the Proxima Core and make sure the "Enable User Profiles" checkbox is checked in Global Config.

Hope this helps!

If you made recent changes to your domain name (DNS) configuration, you may also want to check that your domain records are correct, or ask your hosting company to do so.

not 1 jamroom site validates

You have a server error - these errors are from Apache, not Jamroom.

soaringeagle:note to jr team
the pinned options visible when creating a discussion that should be admin only

Yeah it is supposed to be - the form entry in the custom form table had been set to "user" - that might have been my fault on an upgrade.

You should no longer see it now..
