Module Relationships and Question about counting number entries in multiple fields.

Using Jamroom

Yes - I would recommend checking out the User Comments module (jrComment) - it does this. Basically it stored a "comment_module" and "comment_item_id" key for each comment that is made that contains the module and item that the comment was made for.

As for doing math on some fields and storing it to a 4th field, no - the form designer is not going to help with that. Instead, in your custom module what you want to do is simply compute it on access via "db_get_item" and "db_search_items" event listeners - again check out the following function:

jrComment_db_get_item_listener()

in the jrComment/include.php file to see how it "listens" for the DataStore access on a comment and adds in the info about the item. You would want to run your computation on your fields and add in the key for the 4th field right in the listener.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the update - this sounds good - you should be able to work things this way and have it work exactly as you want it to. I think the problem right now is that we're seeing duplicates because the ancestor profile already exists in the "main" tree (which I would call your master tree) AND exists in the work tree as a separate ID.

So what I think you want to do is:

- start a fresh "main tree"
- export a GEDCOM from your research tree and import it as the start to your Main tree
- make sure that you don't DELETE then create anew profile for the same user in your research tree - as that will change the GEDCOM ID and when you import it to the main tree it will be seen as a "new" profile (and you will end up with duplicates)

As long as you simple "expand" on your research trees, and ONLY import to your Main tree, it should work.

I'm actually traveling this week, so still have not had the development time to work on a tool that will make this easier for you, but I'll be working on it when I get back towards the middle of next week, so I appreciate your patience on this and hopefully it's not too much of a hassle.

Hope this helps!

Design and Skin Customization

I would check out the Share This documentation:

http://support.sharethis.com/

that can likely show you how to do a custom setup - note that with the JR module all the JS is already in place, so it would just be modifying your templates to suit your needs.

Hope this helps!

Sorry to ask you to type out more here for me, but could I get you to tell me the type of "work flow" you're using or want to use? I know you're doing everything as work trees - does that mean you aren't using any type of "master" tree?

Let me know what your "idea" work flow would be and I will see how that can best fit into Genosis.

Thanks!

Site Builder Download

Thanks for the feedback!

The Site Builder should definitely not be slow - double check that you:

- are not running with Developer Mode enabled (ACP -> Tools -> Developer Tools)

- are not running with your ACP -> Core -> Global Config - Cache Seconds set to 0

- are running on a decent hosting provider.

Jamroom is very, very fast when setup properly and running on good hosting.

Hope this helps!

New Design Module - Michael

Design and Skin Customization


The speed has nothing to do with the module. What it could be:

1) He was running in developer mode
2) he was running with caching disabled
3) the server / web server is slow.

The Site Builder module is no slower than any other area of Jamroom - if you don't have JR configured right, or are on overloaded hosting, it's going to be slow.

Right on - glad to hear that. If you want to re-enable the site builder, what you want to do is:

1) Make sure all site builder modules have been installed from the Marketplace

2) make sure all the site build modules are ACTIVE (go to their info tab and make sure they are all enabled)

3) finally go to the skins tab and enable the Slate Site Builder skin

Doing in that order should work - as the skin looks for specific functionality we can be sure all the modules are active so it should work. If however it ends up in a white screen again, something is wrong with a template in the skin.

You can see if there are any template errors by going into the Activity Logs -> PHP Error Log and see if there are any entries in there.

Hope this helps!

Yeah you can checkmark them all and delete them, or you can run this SQL command:


and empty them all at once.

Hope this helps!
