Adding Members To Groups Administratively?
Using Jamroom

Have you actaully sent the invite. Its a sort of two part process. You create an invitation then send it to selected followers.
Invitees can select in their notifications whether they receive any invites by email or private note.

Adding Members To Groups Administratively?
Using Jamroom

OK - Have added the Invitations module to the Marketplace Beta Channel so you should be able to get it from there.
Install it and see what you think. It should be a good solution to what you want to do as I, like Michael, get really annoyed when I find myself added to groups and events etc. that I didn't want to be added to (listening Facebook? ;-) ). Much better to be invited and have the choice imo.

Tip - As this module sends emails to users and you are not live yet, be sure to set your Active Email System to 'Debug Log' -
ACP=>Communications=>Email Support=>Active Email System
That way, emails will be dumped to the debug log and not be actually sent to users. You can then view the debug log in the normal way to see the emails.

Create a module using Aparna
Jamroom Developers

dim:I tried to create a new module by the Aparna, but the Profile may be able to add items yourself in it.

This is one of the basic principles of Jamroom. When a profile creates something, they 'own' it, so its not really possible for a user to create something that belongs to another user.
What you would need to do is create a 'gift' module with Aparna then add a custom field (use the Form Designer maybe) so that the recipient of the gift can be named. You would then need to add a tool so that recipients could be notified and view their gifts.

Some coding would be required!!

Adding Members To Groups Administratively?
Using Jamroom

Ceri:Must admit I wasn't aware of that. How does the admins invite process work? Is it possible to start a new group and send out a mass invite to all members?

No - Its not been released so you wouldn't be aware of it :-)
Only admins can send out mass emails. Users can only message their followers, so yes, an admin could create a group then 'mass email'.

I'll blow the dust off the module and check it out to make sure what I'm saying about it here is true (it a long time since I developed it lol). Could then maybe put it on your site for you to check out?

Adding Members To Groups Administratively?
Using Jamroom

We do have an 'Invite' module that we have never released as we have always been concerned that it might be used for spamming.
As it stands, users can invite their followers to page item (including one of their groups) with a message ("Please rejoin my group", say). Admins can invite anyone to any page.
Wonder if this might be useful in this case?

derrickhand300:Thanks Paul...so the "*" says "get all the modules requested with seamless"? starting to understand it some now

Yeah - its a 'wildcard'. It'll search for both "video_category = football" and "youtube_category = football".

Four Technical Questions
Installation and Configuration

Quote:1. is there an easy way to just make the discussion forum private and default member profiles to private but they can choose to make them public?
Yes - Go to your forum page (/community iirc?) and click on the update (gearwheel) icon. Set its privacy there. Then go to the ACP profile quota settings and select the default privacy there. Note that this will only take effect on newly created quotas. If you want to set all quotas to 'Private' you'll need to run a simple database query (get back to me about that if needed).

Quote:2. looking at "profile forum" general settings and page settings and I don't see that option. Am I in the wrong place?
Go to the forum when logged in as admin, click on the Settings button, set Forum Auto Lock to Never.

Quote:3. I don't have that installed, but I will do that and presume it will help.
Yep - It'll allow you to upload images into the editor.

Quote:4. I don't have one handy, but I'll see if I can find an example and post it here.
OK
