Can't embed youtube using text editor


Using Jamroom

Your best bet would be to install/enable the URL Scanner module for all your quotas. That way players will open within the post, as they do on this forum.

Converting ning urls to JR urls question...


Ning To Jamroom

Sort of - See my post above for what it actually does.
You should not need to use this tool at all as you are importing directly to http://myothernamesite.com and the NingImport module takes care of this during the import.
Its only needed if you subsequently change the domain.

Using Jamroom

You didn't have 'object,param' entered as valid tags for your quotas.
Its working now - Check the last post on the 'Wally' thread.

Converting ning urls to JR urls question...


Ning To Jamroom

There are two different things being discussed here.

The URL Mapper module is for when you have migrated from Ning but are using the same domain. Ie. if http://mydomain.com did point to your Ning site but now points to your Jamroom site. It re-maps domain folders so if, say, on Ning your page that lists all groups was http://mysite.com/groups but on Jamroom it is now http://mysite.com/group it can handle that and any search engine or external links to http://mysite.com/groups will find their way to the Jamroom site.

The tool in the Ning Import module is used if you subsequently change the Jamroom site's domain after the import. Ie. if you imported to http://mydomain.com/ImportedNingSite then moved it up http://mydomain.com all the absolute references in the imported text/comment fields etc. would need to be changed so embedded images still work. This is what that tool is for.

In "Latest Activity" what is automatically shown, and how can we control it?


Using Jamroom

Quote: Not being able to pull all or selected kinds of activity, from all users (members), into a single (non-profile) Page window, seems odd. We are often advised to highlight member activities, on the landing page or home page of an online community, in order to attract new members.

You can list user activities anywhere on your site, including non profile pages -

{jrCore_list module="jrAction"}

You can then add searches to the call to list just the actions/activities you want -

{jrCore_list module="jrAction" search="action_module = jrBlog"}

or

{jrCore_list module="jrAction" search="action_module IN jrBlog,jrGallery,jrVideo"}

The search/filtering possibilities are endless.

Listing liked items via _user_id - jrLike


Design and Skin Customization

1) Use 'back ticks' around the _user_id variable -

{jrCore_list module="jrLike" search1="like_module = jrAudio" search2="like_action = like" template="wishlist_row.tpl" search3="_user_id = `$_user._user_id`" }

2) The problem with -

{jrCore_module_function function="jrFoxyCart_add_to_cart" module="jrAudio" field="audio_file" item=$item}

is that when listing the results of the Like search, the array variable $item (for each liked audio) isn't available. I'm not near my development PC atm but this might work -

{jrCore_module_function function="jrFoxyCart_add_to_cart" module="jrAudio" field="audio_file" item_id=$item.like_item_id}

If not, let us know and we'll come up with something else.

Configuring a group for my forum


Installation and Configuration

Hi Perrie
You are creating a profile called 'Community' that is going to effectively host the site's global forum. What I'm suggesting is that profile has its own quota with just groups enabled.
Actually this would only be necessary if your regular profile quota didn't have groups enabled but it would be a good idea to do it anyway as it might make things easier for you to manage as admin as this Community profile is a bit different to your regular profiles.
As for the three group modules, it is only the 'Group Support' module that is quota enabled. The other two (id installed) will see an enabled Group Support module and then work with it to provide those additional group features.

How to add a contact link to the profile?


Installation and Configuration

Use http://YOUR-SITE.com/note/new/user_id={$_user_id} (or even {$jamroom_url}/note/new/user_id={$_user_id} ).

Problems with profiles on fresh import


Ning To Jamroom

Hi Matthias - Good to see you again :-)
Yes - Let us know how you get on using Nginx, any issues you find and how they might be resolved. As stated above, we haven't actually tested JR on Nginx servers but if there are any adaptations we can make to JR we would be happy to know about them.
Cheers

Configuring a group for my forum


Installation and Configuration

I did explain how to do this above -
Quote: You need to first create a profile group that is to be used for the forum, then enter it into the NingImport configuration.

I'd suggest creating a profile called 'Community' then adding a group called 'Forum' to that profile.

To create the profile -
ACP=> Profiles=> User Profiles=> Tools=> Create Profile
Allocate 'admin' as the profile user.
(Prior to doing this you might want to create a quota just for this profile with just Groups enabled)
Then, as admin, goto http://yoursite.com/community and create the group called 'Forum'.
Whilst there, get the profile ID by clicking on the update (gear wheel) and looking at the ID in the URL.
Now go back to NIngImport config and enter the profile ID in the 'Site Forum Profile ID' field and 'Forum' (no quotes) in the Group Forum field.

Let me know if any of that is unclear and needs expanding.
Cheers
