Sending new passwords with NingImport tool and Mailgun validation


Ning To Jamroom

There a way to actually watch the number of password emails AS they are being sent as well: go to your site dashboard and to the Queue Viewer TAB. There you can watch the number change as the emails get sent out if you have enabled throttling when sending them out in large numbers. Once it's done there will be no more queue showing however.

Sending new passwords with NingImport tool and Mailgun validation


Ning To Jamroom

researchcooperative:
How can I know how many password mails were actually sent?
either of two ways:
1) go to your Mailgun site account and look at your email logs there.

or, IF you are using Jamroom Hosting:
2) look at much the same info through the JR end by going to:
Jamroom.net>your name link>your hosting>server dashboard>
domain settings>email delivery log button. Then bookmark that email log page to get to it faster later.

Invitations module does not have documentation


Using Jamroom

researchcooperative:
"Invitations" in Ning directed people to the main Sign up page.

..and the ning signup page...is just a page URL from your site.
The Jamroom invitation is a little more flexible, in that you can have it direct people to any page you want, including your sign up page.

What is "Note" in my quota browser?


Using Jamroom

Ah!
I remember adding descriptions when i created my site quotas, but I would never assume the "notes" column was connected to a "rename" button in any way, didn't click on rename since I had no intention of renaming the quotas. I couldn't find the way in the quota browser how to go to 'edit' a quota...didn't realize that the Rename button would allow me to edit other stuff about the quota...and I also forgot i could do that in the jrProfile module quota config tab.
Hover?...duh!- there I was clicking away on it to no avail.

Brain fading fast.... better just go to bed.

What is "Note" in my quota browser?


Using Jamroom

When in my /profile/quota_browser , I see a column titled "Note" and some entries show a little clipboard icon in that column, but clicking on it does nothing.
Where do i go to see/add/delete/edit these 'notes' in my quotas? Thanks

Can de-activated members continue sending private notes if still logged in?

Finding bugs before features are released, too good strumelia.

My brain works in strange ways. Sometimes I'm a genius, and other times I'm totally dense. lol

Using Jamroom

Right now it reads:
"If checked, this profile is active and will be viewable in the system to all users"

Perhaps it could instead be...? I don't know, something like:

"If UNchecked, this profile will not be viewable other members. To keep this member logged out and 'block' them from performing any actions, use the BLOCK/UNBLOCK Button in the ACP>etc ____databrowser"

I know it's a bit long, but makes it real clear...?

Using Jamroom

brian:
I've got an update in the next version of the User Accounts module that will help with this (version 2.0.2) - In the User Accounts data browser there is a new "Block" button to easily block/unblock a user and their profile.
This sounds great.
I hate to keep harping on this 'other side of the coin', but I still think if you keep the "Profile Active" Checkbox there in the member's Profile page 'profile TAB' the way it is now....that new-to-jamroom site owners are going to assume that making the member 'inactive' with the checkbox is going to prevent them from doing ANYTHING on the site.
Since the 'inactive' member can still send out PMs to other members, this is going to create a BIG problem for somebody at some point in time- it gives a false sense of security for a site admin to uncheck the 'active' box and then walk away thinking all is covered and safe. It caused me a slight problem the other day concerning a member I was in the process of removing... I created this thread because I was wondering HOW on earth PMs were still being sent out by an 'inactive' member. Thankfully the damage was minimal...just a bunch of drama queen farewell private notes calculated to elicit sympathy. But could have been worse, I've dealt with some very vindictive exiting members over the years.
Admins are going to see the profile page settings and checkbox right in plain view before they think to look for buttons in a Data Browser.

Sorry to bug about it, but...isn't there ANY way you can add more clarification to that checkbox, maybe even just in its help(?) message?

Using Jamroom

Ok so the Block Button will completely disable them from all directions, make them invisible to non-admins, actually log them out and keep them from logging back into that account at all...until you unblock again.

While Blocked, will all their previous content become invisible as well? (forum and Group threads, posts in discussions, comments, videos..)
Would any Group they had created become invisible to other members as well while that person is blocked?
Just trying to get it all straight in ma head....thank you!

How to list upcoming events in a Widget from the Calendar. Problem skipping todays event.


Installation and Configuration

Hmm... I wonder if it sees today's event as having 'occurred' already, thus changing it into a 'past' event and it then becomes invisible?
