how to accomplish these

Ning To Jamroom

when you set up quotas you have to check a box that says "aloiow new members to sign up into quota"
uif that box isnt checked then they cannot swiutch into a quota that they cant sign up into at sign up

if when they join theres no option to join nas an admin then theres no way they can switch to an admin

it only lets them switch to quoitas that you already said they can sign up as

like if u alow them toi register as a student
or a teacher
the student can switch to teacher the teacher can switch to student
if you have a quota called master
and admins have to manualy switch to that
or they auto switch ti that after x number of days then they cant switch to that
the only quotas they can switch between are the ones listed on the sign up form

i agree its confusing im confused toolol im just saying that you could provide a list of what you think it must have to please all ning users and someones going to come along and strongly disagree and wish it had been done the oposite way

in a way i think really the solurtions not to add more ease to it but to make the complications easier to understand
i mean i look at the help drop downsalot and think well..what the heck does that mean
and same with alot of the documentation and ho to guides

i think whats more needed is easier to fillow costomization guides that would make anyone feel confortable doing it

youve beenaround ning long enough to know that if you say "i think it needs this that and the other to be ready" after those are put in someone will come along and say "why the hell did you do this that and the other its so dumb and how do i remove it"

i just think the tricks not to have it more pre-customized but instead make the customization easier to understand and do

alot of pre click to install modules had instructio9ns like find (codeblock) replace or add after or add before instructions
if there were easy to follow guides like that like
edit profile_item_list.tpl
find add after

edit meta.tpl
find
add before

this type easy instructions for modifying anyone can follow and quickly learn the syntax for performing thier own custom edits

i think the most confusing part of jamroom is that it assumes you understand more then you do

the help dropdowns need to be clearer in tech taklk and english translations
it would mean another paragraph or 2 would need to be added to most of them explaining what the 1st part even means

and a find and replace or find add before after type instructions would make understanding it so much easierr
and i just think that woukld be alot better then assumming what others might want in an out of the box platform

well then you fall into the trap of "just cause i want it this way i assume everyon e else will ttoo'

that was a huge problem on ning 1 person would demand ning be chanfged in a way that onlky thier site alone needed and raised hell if it wasnt chganged or if anyone ever said it wasnt so important

yea some basic things canb be built in and refined still that i agree with but i wouldnt want to fall into a situation where we try to build a 1 site fits all mentality where they wont need to customize cayuse then your assumming what they will want and not alowing them to build it thier way from the start (ofcourse they can still customize or hide some things u assumed theyd want but im just saying that building too much of 'your list" into it might make your site happy but might nit fit all needs


i do think names under profile picvs titles on photos hime button etc ..basic stuff should be built in though so in agreement but also want to point out that too much out of the box customization klimits the blank slate do as you wish funtionality

i forget if thius is where u mentioined the missing link (not an evoloution thing) the home link in the menu but i added it and noticed it does exist in the mobile menu so its definately an oversight you cant expect them to get everything right everytime
they just simply forgot to include it in the desktop menu

what boout my shops page question
updated by @soaringeagle: 12/29/14 09:23:54AM

galery grid minor issue

Ning To Jamroom

if you look at http://greentechnologyforums.com/soaring-eagle/gallery/soaring-eagle/all
and scroll about 3/4 down you see 1 imagethats not as tall as the rest and just makes the grid look off additionaly if i put in a panoramic shot as anexample only a small portion would be shown and if the heights not tall enough again the grid looks off
the containing elemnend should have q standard height regardless of image size and perhaps the width and height should be constrained so the entire image is visible regardless of size and shape
