Ref. topic "Profile URL Vs. Profile Display Name"


Suggestions

OK - this should be working now. Update to the Image Galleries module version 1.2.16 from your Marketplace and the URLs should work correctly now (reset your caches after you update to be sure things are reloaded correctly).

If you let me know where else you see this same issue I can fix it as well.

Hope this helps!

Foxycart/Paypal - Chargebacks and Disputes - How are They Handled?


Using Jamroom

Ken_Rich:Just a quick question before I set up my shopping cart enabled quotas. I need to make sure I am understanding this correctly.

With the PayPal module, my current understanding is that all transactions go through the member's own Paypal account. In that sense the site owner is divorced from all responsibility. So if they fail to ship, it is the member (who sold the item) who is held accountable. Also, if they ship but there is a chargeback, it is they who are responsible to return the funds. Is that correct?

I am unsure how those two scenarios would play out, if I enabled a quota to use the Foxycart module. To save me from sifting through reams of help files, can someone answer these two quick questions:

1) With Foxycart, if the member fails to ship, but pocket the money, who is held responsible and forced to pay back the money, them or the site owner (me).

2) If a shipment is made, but some time later there is a "chargeback" due to some sort of credit card issue, who is forced to return the money and eat the loss on the shipped items, the member who made the sale, or the site owner (me)?

-------------

I understand that a delay can be set in the releasing of funds to the member making the sale, but I have been told by someone experienced with ecommerce, that chargebacks can occur even months later. So I'm a little bit nervous to enable the Foxycart for members. Not unless there is some sort of built in insurance, or these scenarios have been anticipated and the site owner is protected by design.

Refunds and Chargebacks are not handled by Jamroom - they need to manually be handled by the site owner (or whoever received the money). There are just too manu "variables" when it comes to chargebacks or refunds to automate it reliably.

It's important to understand that with FoxyCart, all money goes through you, so:

1) If you allow your members to sell physical goods, and they pocket it without sending the item, you will need to refund the user (since the money came to your account).

2) Again - you would need to refund the money from your account. However, if you have not paid out your profiles at this time, you can remove that sale from the user's (who is selling it) account so they would not get the money.

So I would recommend only allowing profiles and users you trust to ship physical products, since you do run the risk of a chargeback (although it's probably minor).

Hope this helps!

One All Social Login - How to collect information on users?


Using Jamroom

Make sure you are looking in the right place - if you have created a custom field called "user_location" on your signup form, then you must create the same field in the user account section - not the profile settings section - i.e. on this form:

http://find-et-band.dk/user/account

NOT on this form:

http://find-et-band.dk/profile/settings

Ref. topic "Profile URL Vs. Profile Display Name"


Suggestions

piews:Ref. URL : https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/suggestions/7986/profile-url-vs-profile-display-name

In THAI Language (charset utf-8), Profile or Title URL Can not link correctly (some modules).
Profile URL must be mixed with English. System is cut off Thai letters.
If all Thai letters, URL not found.
In case gallery title, if use Thai letters it not work.
The current revision is Translated into English.

Thank you.

Jamroom should be UTF-8 throughout, so everything should display properly, URLs have to only use URL-allowed characters (for the most part). Do you have a link to a page where the URL does not work?

Thanks!

One All Social Login - How to collect information on users?


Using Jamroom

torbenj:Hi there,

I have just had a new sign up on my site http://find-et-band.dk/ - and that´s good! :)

What I need to know is how the OneAll Social Login is working when people sign up/in.

If people are signup the "normal" way I am collecting data from them like "location" and "instrument" i.e., but when people use OneAll to sign up then I don´t get these informations because they don´t put them in the fields here: http://find-et-band.dk/user/signup.

Is it possible to let users choose their "indetity" later on - like in their profile? I know that I can set it up in the form designer, but that means that the fields will also be shown for users who has signed up "normally". And the fields are reset for the "normal" users in their profiles if I choose to let them be able to make the choises in there.

As long as you use the same field name (i.e. "user_location") in your singup AND in your account section form designer, users that sign up the "normal" way and put it in will see it show up in their account settings, and users that signup via OneAll can add it in.

Hope this helps!

Blog posts not being deleted throughout my site - and the editor is gone..?


Using Jamroom

1) If you just updated, you might try resetting your caches so the site Javascript is rebuilt.

2) When you delete a blog entry, it is deleted - however - "actions" related to that blog entry are not deleted - you'll want to just hover your mouse over the action in your timeline and delete the action if you no longer want it (i.e. just because you delete a blog entry, it doesn't mean the action of creating it never happened).

3) yeah you should not see that - something is messed up there - tells me one of the text formatters is not working or you need to make sure all your modules are up to date.

Hope this helps!

Jamroom Core 5.2.10 - DataStore Updates


Announcements

I wanted to post a real quick update about the new Jamroom Core 5.2.10 release today - it contains some low level changes in the DataStore functions, which is why it took a little bit longer than normal to get the release out.

There are several new DataStore functions and features that developers will like:

jrCore_db_get_datastore_item_count($module) - use this in place of jrCore_db_number_rows($module, 'item');

jrCore_db_run_key_function($module, $key, $function) - this runs a "function" on the value based on a "key" - use this to replace instances where you need to SUM(), MIN(), MAX(), etc. in a query. So this:

jrCore_db_run_key_function('jrAudio', 'audio_rating_1_5', 'sum');

would SUM all the values for the 'audio_rating_1_5' keys in the jrAudio DS

jrCore_db_set_display_order($module, $_ids) - used to set initial display_order keys for a module.

jrCore_db_create_default_key($module, $key, $value) - used to create "default" keys in a DS. So let's say you add a new key to an audio item called "audio_bpm" and you want to add that key to ALL existing audio entries with a default of "120":

jrCore_db_create_default_key('jrAudio', 'audio_bpm', 120);

This will create that key for any audio item that does NOT have it already set.

jrCore_db_update_default_key($module, $key, $value, $default) - this does the same thing but allows you to update the default at a later point - i.e. change 120 to 60:

jrCore_db_create_default_key('jrAudio', 'audio_bpm', 60, 120);

this will update all that are still set at 120 to 60.

There is also a new "UNIQUE" keyword that can be used on {jrCore_list} calls (or in a jrCore_db_search_items() parameter array - i.e.

group_by="_profile_id UNIQUE"

When used in a jrCore_list call would limit the returned results to ONE per profile, so this can easily be used to make lists where you only want 1 results (based on a key) to be returned.

Please let us know if you have any feedback or comments on the new functionality - we hope you enjoy the new release ;)

Thanks!

You would have to just get the URL - i.e.

{jrFoxyCart_add_url module="jrAudio" item=$_item field="audio_file" assign="cart_url"}

<a href="{$cart_url}">Click here to add this item to the cart</a>

Hope this helps!
