Vimeo and Soundcloud Error, both shows this error "You do not have the proper privileges to perform that action!"

Installation and Configuration

I had a couple of members who would get that permissions error when they tried to post stuff in their profile page Timeline. I have my site set up to enable Admins to post in their profile timeline, but NOT allow regular members to post in their Timelines.
These members would click on their profile page timelines, it would open a textbox for them, they'd type a comment, then click to publish it, and get the error.
Here is how one of my members described it:

"What do I need to do to post a general comment? (that would come up on 'latest activity')
If I go to my own page and click on 'latest activity' a text box, just like this one, opens up. So I write my comment - in this case including info about the Kindred Gathering coming up - but when I go to post it, or update I think it says, I get: "FOTMD says: You do not have the proper privileges to perform that action!" "

I have my Timeline module Quota Config set to allow Can Post Activity Updates for Admin, but UNchecked for regular members. Apparently however, they can still get the textbox if they click on their timeline, can type in a comment... but then they get the same error when they click to actually publish the comment they've typed. Ideally I suppose they shouldn't get the textbox pop up at all.

Perhaps something similar is at work involving imade's Vimeo and Soundcloud modules as well?

I love this about Jamroom. :D

video re-conversion queue add issue

Soaring did you solve this?

Jamroom 6.1 has been released!

My custom skin (originally from a Ningja skin) has only jrVideo_index.tpl and jrVideo_item_list.tpl in its skin templates... not any jrvideo item detail template. so I should be good concerning the m4v reference after updating, correct?

Is the above sequence for updating still valid? I know I've put this off for weeks. And i know there will be some customizations I'll need to get back after it slowly dawns on me that they've 'disappeared'... just like after the last big JR update. Ack!
How exactly does one 're-enable' a queue in the dashboard, though? The pause/refresh buttons there?

How to limit size/number of profile timeline images?

Thanks, no rain detected.
I will bring this thread up again in maybe a week to see how I might adjust something for my site.
Unfortunately, I've very sick for over 10 days (yes while traveling and music festing too) and doctor today suspects a tick-bourne bacterial infection...Erlichiosis.
It can get very serious if untreated, so good thing I went to dr and didn't continue trying to home treat what we first thought was a severe sinus infection.
I'm now on the meds for it and lots of bed rest. Too groggy and weak to attend to updating my site to the newsest JR v. or other stuff like this thread. My site is working fine (thanks for being Jamroom).
So I need to sleep and get better for several days before I even consider touching my site workings or trying to understand what I need to do regarding updating..
Big hugs to you all!

That's wonderful Michael !- I'm afraid I'm leaving on a music festival trip this morning for 5 days though, so I won't be able to do much except check in from afar until I get home again on tuesday. Thanks for your help!

Here he is inserting excessive images into his timeline Comments:
https://fotmd.com/comment/update/id=139517
I don't even have the option of locking his comment 'discussion' if I go into editing it. And I don't want to be so rude as to delete it. But I want to prevent members from continuing to do this in the future. I don't want profile timelines to be used for long conversations and attaching multiple images with no size limits.

How to limit size/number of profile timeline images?

He's not uploading these images to his gallery... he's inserting them into his profile Timeline comments, and the usual image size and # limits I've set dont' seem to be limiting what he's posting there:
https://fotmd.com/ryan-carrell/timeline/52671#cm139517
...I need to figure out how to prevent this use of member profile timelines. I need to prevent members from using their timelines kind of like their own personal 'forums' (I actually have member profile forums disabled) and prevent members from posting excessive images and holding long conversations in their own timelines. This member, and a couple other previous members, is using their Timeline as a lazy way to participate on the site without bothering to learn to use the normal site forums or the Image Galleries like all the other members do. I guess they think the site is like FB or something.

Michael- no I have been holding off on the newest JR version with its many module updates- because I'm about to go away for several days and wanted to 'leave well enough alone' until I got back next week... to avoid any potential issues while I was away.

Once I get back home and do the updates, is there a particular setting I need to go look for to adjust that will prevent this fellow from using his profile timeline to do all his site participation and uploading excessive images? Thanks

How to limit size/number of profile timeline images?

I've always had my Image Support module set so that the regular member quota cannot upload images larger than 1.5 MB, and no more than 6 images per day can be added to the photo galleries.

However, I'm seeing this by a new member, and I want to know how I can stop them from loading so many large images to their profile timeline:
https://fotmd.com/ryan-carrell/timeline/52671#cm139517

(note that they added 11 images, and many are larger than 1.5 MB)
Not sure where/how I can adjust my site settings to prevent this?

I've always had the Timeline module "Quickshare" disabled, and the Timeline module set to prune entries after 120 days, but I notice this help item:
"NOTE: Timeline entries that are manually created by users are never deleted. "
-Does this mean that fellow can keep adding giant photos to his profile timeline and I'm stuck with hosting them forever? I want to prevent that and discourage profile Timeline use altogether for regular members- non-savvy members tend to use it instead of learning how to participate in forums etc.... and that wrecks the site participation flow for my site.

Just now, in the Timeline general settings I've disabled the "WYSIWYG editor for the "Post a new Activity Update" form field"... not sure if that would prevent this kind of timeline update..?

Thanks for any suggestions.
