Trying out groups...

Ning To Jamroom

Hi there - just stumbled across a limitation to my grand plan - it was going so well!

I have realised that a Standard User cannot add galleries to a Profile they didn't create - well, unless I manually add them, whoch would be too time consuming.

Before I go mad trying this, would it be possible to try the Groups module after all - if only to eliminate it from my plans?

Trying out groups...

Ning To Jamroom

I've emailed. I'm playing around with the Form Designer. It's so powerful! I've established a set of criteria choices for each image. I need to learn your Shorty code system to work out how to use the info it's now collected. This will take me some time....

Without going too in-depth (as a couple of backers don't want too much of the info in the public domain yet), essentially, a town profile has (say) ten galleries (one for for pubs, one for churches, etc), and if someone has a photo of the Fox & Hounds, they can upload it to the 'Pubs' gallery, or whatever.

If I can DM you, I can send you a link to the Ning 3 prototype.

Lots of questions and issues being reported on the Ning forum

Ning To Jamroom

I echo the above - (hello, Creators, I feel like I'm cheating on someone!) at first stab I felt lost and confused, but sitting down and calming down, I feel no different to when I started on Ning - except that because of Ning, I already know the kinds of things I was looking at.

I'm getting there, and it's cost a few quid, but no more than three months of Ning 3 subscription.

My only experience worth sharing was that I jumped in with the PhotoPro skin, and tried to customise off the back of no Jamroom experience. This was a mistake. I've now cloned an Elastic skin, and am working with that. It's a much better way to get your head round it (if you're not importing into a Slate skin).

I'm feeling less stressed about the future.....

EDIT: Meant to say, Firebug is an essential tool....

Hi Paul,

Further to your Ning Creators post ( http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/contingency-planning-what-s-yours=show?commentId=6651893%3AComment%3A1291930&xg_source=msg_com_forum), I'd be interested in trying out groups, although I'm not migrating from Ning (yet), just before I setup 25,000 profiles! At least, I'd love to know what they feature - I guess my holy grail is image galleries that users can add photos to. Unless I'm missing something, once a gallery is created in a Jamroom profile, only the Creator can add to it.

This is something that is possible in Ning 3.0, so might have to be able to be dealt with anyway....

Wile you're there, on the Profiles page, the images are moving over to the right as you move down the page, and reducing in size....!

Hi Paul,

I've dropped the maintenance banner - it's iamtimbo.com (for now!)

Let me know when you're done...

How to access CSS for 'Meganizr' in PhotoPro skin?

Design and Skin Customization

Hi,

Very new here and very new to Jamroom! Finding my feet slowly. I'm using the Photo Pro skin. I've been playing around with the customisation, but I have ended up with a dark band across the main navigation tabs.

Firefox inspector seems to indicate that it's coming from CSS with the name ul meganizr. I can't access that from the ACP Skin panels - any thoughts?

Thank you!

Quick question - what is a profile?

Ning To Jamroom

I've been browsing already! Just having a problem downloading the site builder modules- they don't show in the marketplace when accessed from the ACP, and going 'round the outside', the seem to be zip files...

Ning To Jamroom

I've signed up. I've even got a couple of profiles set up. This is absolutely perfect, I think. Just going to start getting my head round quotas. Brilliant. Thank you.
