Groups - Change ownership? change/add administrators?

Ning To Jamroom

Hey girls make sure in their profile/user name that there is not an extra space in the front of the name. I did a lot of copy/paste stuff in my setup and some profile names wound up with a space in front of them and it caused all kinds of weirdness...

Thanks much @douglas

Editing Menu Bar on Flashback skin

Design and Skin Customization

I have a couple menu tabs that I'm not going to be using. Galleries, Events, and Articles.

So where is the safe place to edit those out of the flashback skin and any known issues of skin breakage if you do remove them.

Thanks!

How to add a user to your site without using a sign-up form.

Bless you!! @paul

How to add a user to your site without using a sign-up form.

Using Jamroom

I know that we use the sign up form for adding users to the site but what if the admin needs to add a user and just email them their credentials for accessing the site?

Created a new quota for this group and now I'm stuck at where to go to add them without going through the signup form... How to add a user is not in the How to List

My guess is I am about to find out that I have to first go and create a profile and assign myself as the owner of it? Then I could maybe create a user and assign it to that profile?

There is still something that I know I'm missing and it's probably reflecting off my bald head by now but I'm still not seeing what should be obvious. Adding a new user should not be this difficult to figure out how to do...

@michael I just had a 3AM HUGE aah ha moment that you may want to incorporate in your future training. In all these 100+ hours there was a missing link that I never really "got"

We talked about Quota's and Profiles and Users and I struggled with how the pieces all came together. It was so much easier in JR4 because it was only in about 2 places. In the old system you set up a artist account and added this and that to it through the use of the quota.

My moment came when I realized that what the quota was missing in JR5 was "THE MODULES"
In order to have a functioning quota you have to assign and understand all these various modules to give the quota its functionality. Without the modules being tied to the quota it's worthless. That's what I never fully grasped until I started taking away some things from a quota. It was the taking away that I then realized what I missing in trying to build this thing. I was missing the importance of the modules. In JR3/4 the Quota was King. In JR5 the Quota is the janitor looking for a job to do...

So it really is a complex system that you can't just expect to find a ready made out of box solution for. You have to really plan this thing out. You have to study what you want the end game to be like for your users and then almost reverse engineer the thing. And MODULES are going to play the role of KING!

You don't want to think about building a JR5 without knowing that there are 4 main components to this thing.

QUOTAS
MODULES

PROFILES
USERS

(Quotas and modules) go together almost as much as (users and profiles) do...

So my 3 legged table now has a forth leg..

So I have edited the flashback skin to a workable solution. My question is how do I now make a copy of the edited skin in case of a crash or an update that wipes out all of my edits? Do I just go into each modified template and copy and paste into notepad files or is there a better way.

I can't say thanks enough to @michael @paul @brian for their remarkable efforts in helping make a transition that we really didn't want to have to make. But I understand a bit more now and I can see some real value in making the switch to JR5.
