Email Rating Alerts
Using Jamroom

MySong:Yes, the user quota of those I was testing with was set to "Approval on Create and Update" by JRvideo.

Spam = A user can go to a proxy service (lets you flip ip's) and within minutes give himself dozens of 5 star ratings and boost all his items to the top of all rating based lists. Know you can limit rating to 'logged in users' only but that would greatly limit the amount of ratings site receives.

Therefore think it would be a useful feature to add, when you guys have time, to let the site admin get the alerts as well so he can keep on top of things.

Thanks,

Yeah - but I can see that being a bit of a pain on a busy system. What I'd like to do is to get some type of "browser fingerprint" setup that is a combination of browser details, IP and cookie to do a better job of "tracking" who has already rated. I'll be checking that out for a future release.

Thanks!

Also - when you say "rating spam" I assume you mean someone that is rating too may items too quickly? There is no "text" involved in ratings, so you can "spam" the traditional way (i.e. comment spam).

I believe I know why this is happening - you have the Item Approval quota setting for video set to "Approval on Create and Update" - that's what's causing this, and I'll get it fixed.

Thanks!

I'll check this out - all of the rating/email is handled the same regardless of module, so I'm not even sure how that would happen, but I will see if I can replicate it.

Thanks!

The message contact form not working


Using Jamroom

Sounds like you might have set the field in the form designer to show to specific quotas or logged in users only.

Song Quota Bug
Using Jamroom

I've confirmed that when you delete an audio file, the profile_jrAudio_item_count key is properly decremented (the jrCore_db_delete_item handles it). So that's not the problem.

The problem would have to be one of caching, but I've tested that as well and it is correct.

I will test more to see if I can replicate it, but so far I have not been able to.

Song Quota Bug
Using Jamroom

michael:The cause is $_user['profile_jrAudio_item_count'] is staying at 5 even after the item is deleted.

Looking for why now.

I will check out the code, but I do not believe that is true. jrCore_db_delete_item takes care of decrementing the count keys, and I'm 100% certain that works. So it's going to be something else.

Paypal Button
Design and Skin Customization

It's not designed to work in a skin template - only on the item detail and item list pages (since it's a feature button that can be manipulated by the admin).

You will need to do something custom for skin templates.

Quicker way to process Newsletter bounces from Mailgun

Yeah this needs to be done - it's actually been on my todo list for a while, but no one had asked about it so I just kept moving it off. I'll get to it ;)

Thanks!
