Ordering Group discussions by latest active

Using Jamroom

1) Is this in your 'Join a Group' section? This is currently ordered by "group_members_count numerical_desc". Can change that so that it is ordered by groups with the latest post?

2) Have fixed this up. The index_activity_list.tpl template didn't have the searches to exclude comments and followers in it.

OK - Done that. Still not seeing comments in the activity timeline, which is what I expected.

I don't get this. Have just checked your index.tpl and you do have this jrCore_list code for activities -

{jrCore_list module="jrAction" search1="action_module != jrFollower" search2="action_module != jrComment" order_by="_item_id numerical_desc" template="index_activity.tpl" pagebreak=50 page=$_post.p}

which means that no follower or comment activities will show. Have just tested this on your site and that is the case. Yet you say that before I added in the module to update the _updated field on comments, you were seeing group discussion comments?
Am going to temporarily disable this new module and check it again.

Profile URL problem

Using Jamroom

Tricky, and not much we can do as its the way JR works.
Can you persuade one of them to change their profile name?

Syntax Error

Using Jamroom

If this is in a template be sure to wrap it smarty {literal}{/literal} tags so that the smarty parser doesn't try to interpret the javascript curly (smarty) brackets.

Sorry - test posted as you on the first group discussion that came to hand - http://fotmd.com/doug-berch/group_discuss/1640/hello-again

Discussions are now ordered by their '_updated' time field so that is why the changed (they were ordered by their '_created' time field). They won't immediately be ordered by their latest comment time, that will now happen as comments are made on them.

Have installed the module for you (ACP=>Users=>Commentee Update) and changed the group detail and group_discuss list templates accordingly.
Have made a test comment on the Hello Again group. Seems to be working.

Understood. If you have this module installed and enabled, then set the group discussions to be ordered by '_updated NUMERICAL_DESC' it'll do what you want.

Custom images for buttons

Design and Skin Customization

The 'basic' back and next buttons used by default are in the Core list_pager.tpl template. If you look at that using the ACP template editor, say you'll see these smarty codes -

{jrCore_icon icon="previous"}

{jrCore_icon icon="next"}

You can add a size parameter to these smarty calls (default size is 32) -

{jrCore_icon icon="previous" size=64}

{jrCore_icon icon="next" size=64}

If you have uploaded your own images the code could be changed so as to pick those up instead -

Another user has recently had the same request and I wrote a simple custom module for her that 'listened' for comments and updated the commented item's '_updated' field to 'now'. This means that you could then order groups by '_updated NUMERICAL_DESC' so that the most recently 'active' would show first.
Let me know if you are interested and I'll copy it to your site.
