Multiple profiles per user account (?)

Ning To Jamroom

Strumelia:

I am not attempting to re-create my Ning site - that makes little sense given the profile-centric focus of Jamroom as opposed to the content-centric focus of Ning.

Rather, in my community I don't have a lot of collections of members that are affiliated in some way other than through affinity groups. I don't have things like "bands" which have members, each of which logically contribute to a single profile. So, I am struggling with what new kinds of engagement possibilities would arise by enabling that capability (what, from my financial consulting days we would call entitlements - what services a user, or user group, is entitled to access/retrieve).

I am thinking of creating a bunch of quotas that members can self-assign themselves to. I think I have to use FoxyCart to create quotas that are free to do this. If I read things correctly, I can use Mailgun to then send email to specific quotas. That capability is something I've wanted in Ning since the very beginning.

If I understand properly. I am not "transferring" a profile from one account to another, I am giving one profile the ability to let another profile contribute to and edit their profile.

An imperfect analogy ... but building on the band example above I am thinking about a Facebook business page where I can add existing profiles as page admins.

Here the end result is the same but the process is different.

CSS overlap in a:hover

I am working with the CSS in the ACP style editor in the Ningja skin.

This is not something that's supported in Ning and, conceptually, it's something I am struggling with trying to understand how, why, and where it's useful.

If it's confusing to me, it's going to be confusing to members - especially ones that are less technically minded.

TIA,

Embed Vimeo videos using URLs? Why not?

Ning To Jamroom

Just like I do with YouTube videos? Why do I need to register to get a Client ID and Secret?

BTW, Youtube needs a mid-cap "T" - YouTube.

Changing the height of the header

Ning To Jamroom

I want to increase the height of the header as can be seen in the attached image. I don't see where this is done.

There is a header height (75px) in header.css, but increasing the height (say to 100px) doesn't push down the rest of items in the DOM - the header rectangle just starts covering the admin tabs and site content.

I want to be able to create some sort of top level site branding that is different from (and bigger than) the Jamroom logo.

CSS overlap in a:hover

Ning To Jamroom

Just as a matter of style (pun intended) can you put the a:hover style for the admin tabs in a separate class?

They are now in the same class as the a:hover for the "All" in the home page section and in the footer.

Changing default image sizes in Home Page Galleries, Profiles

Ning To Jamroom

Another typo?

skins/jrNingja/jrProfile_item_list.tpl

should crop="protrait" be crop="portrait" ?

Changing default image sizes in Home Page Galleries, Profiles

Ning To Jamroom

Brian -

I was able to make the changes in skins/jrNingJa/jrGallery_index.tpl without any problems.

However, I don't see any similar mechanism inside "skins/jrNingja/jrProfile_index.tpl"

I did find a Col3 I could change to Col2 (and Col1 also works) in "skins/jrNingja/jrProfile_item_list.tpl" but there is no pagebreak call in this template. Where is that located? With thousands of members, I am sure one is needed.

In looking at the Image Galleries section on the home page I also don't see a way to change the sizes. However, I did notice what I think is a typo in the code. I am not sure how important it is but ....

defaul="All"} at the end of the clip below should probably be default="All"}. The HTML parser is stripping stuff so what follows is not an exact copy of what's in index.tpl.

{* BEGIN Latest Images Section *}
{if isset($_conf.jrNingja_latest_images) && $_conf.jrNingja_latest_images == 'on'}

{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="20" default="Latest"} {jrCore_lang module="jrGallery" id="25" default="Gallery"} {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="21" default="Images"}   {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="30" defaul="All"}
