featured content on jr


Ning To Jamroom

im liking what i see on my contentthats imported corectly however i see no way to mark content as featured
i see on mt elastic front page a featured profile slider and accepts a comma list of profile ids is the only option for feauring content something like that
can the smarty module be used to create a featured list for each content type
and can a button be created that would alow admins to add contentto the featured lists

im assuming its all possible with the right know how lol

but can you give me some clues how it would be done so i can start to try tio figure it out

some contents just so superior it needs to get extra attention

Looking for early Ning migrants


Ning To Jamroom

like i said with hostforweb.com ive had a great experience with awesome support (though u might have to repeat yourself a few times with the support team)(and ocasionaly translate your english into geekspeak so they understand the issue)

i had a server vpswith godaddy that was a nightmare crashed every 15 minutes or less
i switched to hostforweb and havent had probs since ..well minor glitches in migrations and such but they have been on the ball solving any issues i had


on the issues of reviews being untrustworthy my sites about dreadlocks theres 2 main sites that come up high in google that are absolute scams and cause severe harm yet they control the reviews by having thousandsof clone sites and deleyting anything negative
my sites got a dreadheadhq and knottyboy bad dread products real reviews page where ppl can post actual experiences and its come up high in google and in 3 years has made an 80% drop in people harmed by thier worse products

so paying attention to the bad reviews sometimes can be very helpful (especialy when u see that all actual good reviews were fronm 15 year olds in thier 1st weeks of using the crap before they could realize how horible it was)

i always read both the good and the bad
i pay attention to the percebtages of good and bad and try to get an overall experiences idea

creating a profile cover photo (1 missing peicce to the puzzle)


Ning To Jamroom

dude thanks for all your help went into a coma like nap for an hour then figured it out
since default.png was a png i added
&& $profile_cover_image_type == image/jpeg
that made sence to me but did the oposite of whats expected so
changing == to != fixed it

i couldnt have done it without your help even if i ultimately figured it out myself

and for a 1st time attempting anything at all with smarty template mods i feel good that i figured it out even if it did take a very long time
i feel alot more confident now that i will have less issues with future puzzles

figured it out
 && $profile_cover_image_type != image/jpeg

== made more sence since the defaults a png but since it gave the oposite effecti wanted != was the only sensible option and it worked

Design and Skin Customization

i have added a profile_cover_image
i added it to the create a profile and modify profile forms

this code
{jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrProfile" type="profile_cover_image" item_id=$_profile_id size="xlarge" class="img_scale" alt=$profile_name title=$hover width=false height=false}
displays the image wherei want how i want but then on profiles that dont have 1 uploaded it puts up a default pic
luckily i changed that to something less hideous
but its not what i want
i want no image code if none was uploaded
i tried this
{if isset($profile_cover_image) && strlen($profile_cover_image) > 0}
{jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrProfile" type="profile_cover_image" item_id=$_profile_id size="xlarge" class="img_scale" alt=$profile_name title=$hover width=false height=false}{/if}

then no image appears anywhere
i have tried multiple variations that made sence..or didnt and all either display the image and defaults on empty profiles or nothing at all
i added an
{else}upload a cover photo{/if} 
but then always get that or the default
i cant seem to get that if statement right so it will only put in the image code if a user actualy uploaded a cover photo
