ningja skin 1.0.16 changelog

Ning To Jamroom

Step awaaaaaaay my friend...while you can.

(this from someone who just ate TWO boxes of cheap non-pareils.)

Inconsistent (and missing) pagers

Ning To Jamroom

I've wondered the same thing, and I've stumbled on a couple of pagers that don't even work- cant remember now where.....but had put the issue on a back burner filed under 'refinements' that I was going to address later once my site was more together.

ningja skin 1.0.16 changelog

Ning To Jamroom

I hear you Clay. Unfortunately my custom skin has tons of template changes, and more are made every day. Isn't it just easier to make a custom skin clone right before applying the update, and then looking at the COMPARE if any problems pop up? Or does that not work well for reasons I don't understand yet?

ningja skin 1.0.16 changelog

Ning To Jamroom

Are some of these updates having to do with the thread Soaring just posted about the left column items now missing? I think maybe I need to know what I'm getting into on this particular ningja skin update.
However this sounds like it would be solving something for me, but not sure (dang!):
"Bug Fix: Profile sidebar could still show on forum pages even with Forum Profile URL set"

new ningja update issue

Ning To Jamroom

okkkkk....so i'm holding off on applying that ningja update til i hear more...

hiding the profile location and questions on shops and mnain forums

Ning To Jamroom

But I don't want to turn it off for everyone, Paul- just for my one single "forums' profile, my 'child' profile within which all my site forums is residing.

Refining what's shown in the Home Page activity timeline

Ning To Jamroom

No no(!)... I want the front page activity to show everything EXCEPT when members 'follow' each other, or leave comments on other people's profile page comment walls.
-> The idea is to have the meaty stuff show up, instead of having the whole home page full of "so and so is now following so and so, who is now following so and so... and "Hi, welcome!", "Hi, welcome to the site!", "Hi, welcome!".

So I want THOSE TWO activities to NOT show on the Home page main Activity Timeline. Because they would dominate everything once my site goes live, and it would be excruciatingly boring and deadly. lol

-----------------------
Here are activities that I DO want to keep showing in the activity feed, and that ARE showing now (which is good!):
Members adding videos, adding photos, adding music clips.
Members commenting on videos, photos, and music clips.
Members creating new forum discussions or group discussions.
Members POSTING in either of those forum or group discussions.
Members Commenting in Group comment walls.
New Events created

And finally, I'd love to ADD two other things to the main page activity feed....things that Ning has and are stimulating to site activity, but that are not included in the JR Timeline (yet):
--> 1) New members joining the site (mention their member NAME and small avatar if it's possible) -note this encourages my site's Welcoming Committee to go to the new member's pages and leave a greeting on their comment wall...one of those "Hi, Welcome, friend!" comments we get all day on my site. It just plainlooks good to see those several new members a day popping up there in the timeline, and people actually see acquaintances or known musicians sometimes....stimulating more interaction.
--> 2) When a member joins a GROUP ("Poindexter joined Jazz Dulcimers Group", "Rhonda joined GigTalk Group")
--------------

So basically,...am asking to REMOVE two activities, and ADD two other activites.
Sorry to be so wordy, but wanted to make it clearer.

hiding the profile location and questions on shops and mnain forums

Ning To Jamroom

Yes i too would like to hide my "Forums" member's personal profile info (which includes my OWN personal ning signup questions and the member "forums"'s personal tabs of profile content) when people go to any discussions within my site's ".../forums/forum" discussions. I don't have any shops though.
@paul -would I use that same code as well?- and if so, in what template please?

GROUP search to include group discussions code...?

Ning To Jamroom

Any help on this? ...Much appreciated!

Hoping there's a simple template tweak I can apply for this, or maybe I'm missing a setting for these options somewhere?
