Multiple Instances of Documentation Module


Using Jamroom

Quote: Still wondering though what how I should alter the url from documentation to wiki?
include.php jrDocs_meta() function 'url' setting is the immediate place to change this, though it may also be used elsewhere in the module.

Quote: Also what is the best way to set up dev server. Can I do this on my Jamroom hosted server and if so where is the best guide for this?
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-hosting/2541/creating-a-new-domain-on-your-server
You don't have to use a real domain for this, just make one up - ceridevserver.com - say

Use whatever editor works for you.

Please note that I'd be very surprised if just changing the module name instances and its url will work first time (though it might!!). Be prepared for errors, white screens and some debugging!!

How to delete a large number of Profile/User AND their content?


Using Jamroom

Strum - I guess wemust have installed this module on your site, ran it then deleted it.
The 'last login date' as well as 'by quota' are features I'll add to it.

Multiple Instances of Documentation Module


Using Jamroom

Quote: 1. If I set up a dev site (I'm sure there are docs somewhere which explain how to do this) does it duplicate all the content on my site or is it just a plain vanilla Jamroom install? Slightly concerned about how much server space it will take up.
When you create a new JR install on our hosting its 'vanilla' and will not take up much disk space. I'd suggest that that is sufficient for this project.

Quote: 2. I have downloaded the module folders and there are 4 of them:- JrDocs and release 1.3.3 , 1.3.4. and 1.4.0 . Do I need to change all instances of 'jrDocs' to 'xxWiki' and the module url from 'documentation' to 'wiki' in all 4 folders or just the most recent release.
Just create the /modules folder xxWiki then copy the contents of the latest jrDocs to it, then work on those files.

Quote: 3. Is there a batch editor tool (other than sed) which I could use for this? What would you recommend (assuming that this is possible) and bearing in mind that I dont use Windows?
No - I'd just use a text editor and the search/replace tool within.

Using Jamroom

Hi Strumelia - I think this custom module was originally built for you anyway, iifc?
As well as a last logging threshold I'm also going to add a 'by quota' selection. There is also a 'dry run' option where you'll see the profiles that will be deleted, so maybe clone your members quota and move your 'cherised' members to it.

Multiple Instances of Documentation Module


Using Jamroom

Couple of options -

1) Copy the module and all its files and folders to another - jrDocs => xxWiki then systematically go through all the new module files changing instances of 'jrDocs' to 'xxWiki' and the module url from 'documentation' to 'wiki'. As the method is 'manual', its prone to errors so needs to be done and tested on a development system. There may well be other, module specific changes needed to make it work.

2) Add a custom field(s) to the entry form to select the 'type of document' then use that in searches. That would require additional template work.

We have a custom module that at the moment deletes all members, and their content, who have not logged in. Couple easily add another field to it for 'older than'. I'll check it out.

Group Invitations


Using Jamroom

Allowing 'admins' to 'officially' join a group is a simple template mod. and I've added this in the next Group module release. Admin can maybe then use a Newsletter to promote a group.

Latest Group Modules' Tools


Announcements

The latest versions of the Group and GroupDiscuss modules include tools for transferring topics between forum categories, discussion categories and group discussions. This is the culmination of a custom module development sponsored by @holly-dilatush and @keith-mauck, so thanks to them.
It does mean that this custom module, jrXGroupDiscussionXfer, is now redundant and will no longer be supported. If you do have this module installed on your site, please make sure you are running the latest Group and GroupDiscuss modules then disable/delete the custom module.
Thanks
Paul

Design and Skin Customization

A couple of revisions ago the NingImport signup questions template, as used by the {jrNingImport_signup_questions} smarty call was modified so as to handle the Form Designer group fields better, so check that those for each signup question are set correctly.
