Changing what shows in the Groups Tab on profile pages


Ning To Jamroom

You could actually show the groups a profile's user belongs to in the sidebar with code something like this -

    {capture assign="groups"}
    {literal}
        {if isset($_items)}
            {jrCore_module_url module="jrGroup" assign="murl"}
            {foreach $_items as $item}
                <a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.group_title_url}">{$item.group_title}</a><br>
            {/foreach}
        {/if}
    {/literal}
    {/capture}
    {jrCore_list module="jrGroup" search="group_members LIKE \"`$_user_id`\":" template=$groups}

Its a bit of a 'dirty' way of doing it as its picking out occurances of the _user_id in the group's members stored JSON string but it should work.
The template just lists group titles but when its working you can refine that.

I have had a look at this and its not as straight forward as I thought it might be and might need an update to the jrGroup module to make it work 'cleanly'.
Its a bit difficult for me to do any actual development whilst out of the country but will think about it more and see what I can come up with.

jrVimeo Category


Jamroom Developers

OK - Have checked a few Vimeo videos API data and am still not seeing any evidence of them having a category so still assuming they don't do that.
So as I suggested above, use the Form Designer so that your users could add it after import.

Changing domains with Arvixe


Installation and Configuration

This should be pretty straightforward.
When you create your Jamroom Server you can then create another install with the domain ourtownstory.co.uk - a temporary domain of ourtownstorycouk.jamroomhosting.com will be created.
There's then a tool to import your Arvixe site to it.
When that is done and tested, click the button to switch the temporary domain to the main one. Log into GoDaddy and set the ourtownstory.co.uk DNS to point to the Jamroonm server.
Wait a few hours and you then should be good to go.

Import Videos Error


Using Jamroom

Any JR4 custom fields will be imported into the datastore so if in JR4 you had 'video_embed', it will be imported to JR5 as 'video_jr4_embed' so that datastore field could be used in the JR5 video templates.

However, getting past the 'No File' error might be more difficult. You'll need to edit the jrImport/include/import_videos.php file.
Line 69 is the test for a video file so making that 'if(1)' will make it drop through that test, then the 'Get File' section starts at line 95. Removing that whole section through to line 125 might do the trick.
There might be other 'gotchyas'. Obviously, I haven't tried this!!

jrVimeo Category


Jamroom Developers

I'll check the Vimeo data again to see if there are categories.
If not you could just add the field with the Form Designer so that your users could add it after import.

Qustion about what type of site content is allowed on Jamroom hosting


Jamroom Hosting

We have discussed this ourselves recently and we (and Linode) would be ok with this type of site.
But we would reserve the right to not to host anything hard-core or politically extreme though.

No ability to just delete a discussion in a Forum ?


Using Jamroom

When I hover over the first post in this thread I see the trash can. Are you not seeing that on your forum?

Changing what shows in the Groups Tab on profile pages


Ning To Jamroom

Strumelia:
Paul, you said it in this discussion:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/ning-to-jamroom/22274/help-with-a-profile-page-setting-for-groups-tab

We're looking to have a list, or link or tab to a list, on Profile pages...of all the Groups that member belongs to.

OK - I'll come up with some code to do that and post it here. Its late in Perth now, I'll do it tomorrow :-)
