JR Embed and Iframe control

Using Jamroom

I'm not aware of any issues with it - where on the site were you trying to embed an iframe?

Thanks!

Timeline Posting

Using Jamroom


You will need to replace the entire form with:


Check out the modules/jrAction/item_index.tpl file. IF your skin has a skins/SkinName/jrAction_item_index.tpl file you can also delete it (or rename it) so the skin uses the module provided version.

Hope this helps!

trouble with Smiley Module - thanks for any help!

This has been fixed in version 1.0.7 of the module - update from your Marketplace and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps!

I'm seeing the same thing here - something has changed so let me see what's up.

Archive content importing in reverse order issues, & navigating that

Installation and Configuration

Just an update that Paul and I believe we've got to the bottom of this, and it has to do with how items are ordered in the Ning Archive (they are not always order sequentially). So we will get a fix in for this to the importer however in order to fix it on a site you will need to re-run the import.

We're working on that today and hopefully will have a fix out ASAP.

Thanks everyone!

Notes vs Private Notes vs messages...??

Installation and Configuration

I hear you I'm not saying we won't expand Jamroom's capabilities (because of course that's what we're constantly doing) I just want to be sure it's really needed. If a user wanted to send messages to a group of users, would the Profile groups module fill that need? With it private, you in effect have a private group of users that can message each other - would that functionality be duplicated by expanding private notes (or maybe a new module)?

One of the quickest ways to confuse users is having multiple ways of accomplishing the same thing - they then wonder which way they should use.

Let me know if that makes sense.

Thanks!

Your users will not lose anything - Jamroom already supports this. For example I just embeded a YouTube video on my timeline:

https://www.jamroom.net/brian/action

In the WYSIWYG editor your users can click on the "Embed" button and pretty much embed anything they want. Any URL they enter will be hotlinked to. If you have the URL scan module installed, and a users pastes a URL in, it will also turn into a "click and play" link - i.e.:

Easy Install Jamroom 5 CMS into cPanel server

(all I did was paste in a link for that).

I'm not aware of anything that is needed in the current setup that is not already supported.

Hope this helps!

profile ids to profile names

OK - let me check out why there is a difference.

Thanks!

OK - and the issue is that it's not coming in the order you have it in the "in" search - correct? Just want to be sure we're still talking about that.

Archive content importing in reverse order issues, & navigating that

Just to be sure everyone knows, some of these may NOT be solvable by us - they are issues with Ning's export. For example - Ning does NOT provide us with the Group ID that a page belongs to, so we have no way of linking a group page up with the group - that's why we've had to create a tool in the Discussion Pages module that let's the site owner manually link the pages to the right group. It's a pain, and if Ning just included this then it would not even be needed, but I can say that the "quality" of the data included in the Ning export is pretty bad in may places, and we can only work with what we are given.

Thanks!
