JR PJ - Comments Sort


Using Jamroom

Okay I just setup a test here:

https://www.jamroom.net/youtube_test

and I'm not seeing any issues. Note that the ordering on the YouTube listing is different - that's because those youtube videos were "imported" at the same time, and if MySQL sees a bunch of items with the SAME value, it will return them in ASC order.

Here's the template I used if you want to test yourself on your site (and link here if you see an issue):

{jrCore_include template="header.tpl"}

{capture name="yt" assign="tpl"}
{literal}
{foreach $_items as $i}
ITEM_ID: {$i._item_id} : CREATED: {$i._created}<br>
{/foreach}
{/literal}
{/capture}

<h1>Comments</h1>
<br>
ORDER BY _item_id DESC:<br>
{jrCore_list module="jrComment" order_by="_item_id DESC" skip_triggers=true template=$tpl limit="20"}
<br><br>
ORDER BY _created DESC:<br>
{jrCore_list module="jrComment" order_by="_created DESC" skip_triggers=true template=$tpl limit="20"}

<br><br>

<h1>YouTube</h1>
<br>
ORDER BY _item_id DESC:<br>
{jrCore_list module="jrYouTube" order_by="_item_id DESC" skip_triggers=true template=$tpl limit="20"}
<br><br>
ORDER BY _created DESC:<br>
{jrCore_list module="jrYouTube" order_by="_created DESC" skip_triggers=true template=$tpl limit="20"}

{jrCore_include template="footer.tpl"}

Hope this helps!

Still No Joy With The Network Sharing...


Installation and Configuration

Ken_Rich:Cool... because I'm hitting a "brick wall" on this one, and status updates to Facebook is a strong selling point of the new system to my clients.

I want to be sure you understand that there's nothing you're going to be able to do from your FB app perspective to make it work for all your users - only those users that specifically allow your app access to post will work - anything else and it will fail. There's no setting you can set "globally" to make it work for all your users.

So just an FYI.

Still No Joy With The Network Sharing...

Ken_Rich:Thanks Brian. I understand your frustration with Facebook, it's a thousand times worse for developers who spend lots of manhours developing something, only for Facebook to change their protocols and cripple it.

However, it would still be nice for someone who knows what they are doing to write down the procedure(s), as I am unclear if my Facebook issues is self generated by ignorance.

We'll have to see if we can do that - we've not used it for sharing, so I can't give you a step by step procedure, but we'll try to get that done if we can.

Thanks!

I've just uploaded a new version of the OneAll module that now always includes a "link" with every share, so that should (hopefully) fix the LinkedIn issue.

Hope this helps!

Approve Users on Sign up


Installation and Configuration

Thanks Paul - quick question is "how" does having an admin check an email add a second level of security? Unless you've memorized domains that you feel are suspect it's not clear to me how email validation is less secure than also having an admin "look at" the email address.

Note that whenever a new user signs up on your system, you also receive an email to the admin account - you can click on that to view their info and deactivate them if needed.

Sorry for the followup question, we've just never had anyone ask for this in 11+ years of doing user signups, so I would suspect it's something very specific to your use case.

Thanks!

Let me just add too that this is all done "on purpose" by Facebook, since they don't want FB users sharing from sites OUTSIDE Facebook, since they then are not in control of the analytics side of it (i.e. they can't continue to add to the marketing profile of YOU that they sell to advertisers, law enforcement, etc.).

Ken_Rich:I am in contact with Claude at OneAll, he seems to think the LinkedIn error is coming from something the Jamroom module is missing.

Yeah it is - that's what I indicated above.

Quote:What would be helpful on the Facebook error, is if one of you Jamroom "brains" set your own demo site to post there, and wrote down the procedure for us to follow.

The problem with Facebook is that it is going to be different for each user since it all depends on the privacy levels and security they have setup.

Quote:It seems to me (if similar to Twitter), the module creates a Facebook app with read-only permission (for log-ins), and then you must add permission to write (post).

However, I'm not sure if I followed their convoluted procedures properly, or am totally "out to lunch" on what is actually required.

I get the feeling I could be going around in circles with them for months if I don't get some expert help from a pro.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that you will always have issues with Facebook - always. They have like ten thousand different ways they do things on their profile, and the EXACT same settings that work on one user will fail for another user.

That's why we only use Facebook for login - not at all for sharing (nor would I). Of course that's my experience and opinion, so take that for whatever it is worth, but what you're going through with Facebook right now is what I would expect based on my experience - and at the "end" of it it will start over on a different issue.

delete and create members deletes my profile too


Installation and Configuration

soaringeagle:i agree as now i see no soaringeagle in the menu
and ive tried over and over having a real hard time getting the importer to import the members

I'm going to guess there's some issues either with the data size or the JSON structure. How large is the members JSON file?

Thanks!

I've never seen any issues with this here. The Ning Importer definitely does not delete your account (the one you are logged in on) - I've run it probably 50+ times and never seen an issue, so I am guessing something is messed up on your site with the other issues you are reporting.

In your case (with all the other issues you've been reporting) I think it would be best to have Paul assist you in doing the import so he can check things out if issues arise.

Hope this helps!

Approve Users on Sign up


Installation and Configuration

Isleander:1. Is "admin verification" the only method of approving users at sign up. Is there a way of adding email verification as well?

Go to ACP -> Users -> User Accounts -> Quota Config and you will see there are options under "Signup Method" (including instant validation).

Quote:2. Where can I see the information users submit during initial sign up (sign up form questions)?

I'm not sure about this one in regards to Ning imports - Paul might know this.

Hope this helps!
