Profile Questions


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:Paul, I plan on changing my Ning signup questions AFTER I go live and import all my current ning members into my JR site. I know they will import along with their old ning signup questions and answers showing in their profile sidebar. My question is this- what will happen to those ning questions and answers once I replace the signup questions with new ones? Will the old ones disappear from the profile page sidebars?, or will they remain and the new ones show up only on new signups?

It depends on how you do it. Signup questions are keyed on the user datastore as 'user_signup_question_1', 'user_signup_question_2', 'user_signup_question_3' etc. You could overwrite their values with the new questions whereupon when the user answers them the old answer will be overwritten.
It would probably be best to continue the sequence with the new questions and make the old ones in-active in the Form Designer. That way you'll have old questions and answers archived.

Profile Questions


Installation and Configuration

When logged in as admin, goto http://yoursite.com/user/signup and click on the Form Designer button top right. From there you can add in 'signup questions'. See https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/1275/using-the-form-designer for how to use the Form Designer.

Presumably you want to assign a new profile to a 'quota' dependent upon an answer? Maybe you could make possible answers to a question the quota description (ACP=>Profiles=>User Profiles=>Tools=>Quota Browser=>Modify Quota) then when signing up, new users would make the choice themselves.

Adding links to "Threaded Forum"


Jamroom Developers

Hi Perrie - As Brian said above, it can be done, its just that we've never had occasion to do it.
Here's a direct link to a comment on one of my sites -

http://motagator.com/oren-thomas-fisher/comment/256

To do it you would include the following code in the template

<a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item._profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}">Comment Link</a>

I know the above is probably meaningless to you at this point but just want to give you confidence that it can be done and we'll show you how when it comes to it.

Multi-language Support


Using Jamroom

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/541/translate-jamroom-into-another-language

All our skins, by default, are in English. A couple have a Spanish option 'out-of-the-box', but follow the above guide to create another language option. Its fairly straightforward but maybe a little tedious as you will have to enter the translated text for every language string used by Jamroom, which is probably a few hundred (I've not counted!!).

I wonder if anyone else has done this for any of our skins and modules? If they have and would like to share their translations let us know. We could either create a resource or include them as further options in our skins by default.

Is There A Way To Empty The Activity Feed Cache?


Installation and Configuration

michael:There will be shortly. A module "Batch Edit" is due for release in the next day or so. When that comes out you can update datastore items en mass and delete en mass too.

Or you could just delete the lot in the ACP=>Core=>System Core=>Tools=>Activity Logs=>Empty

Gaming module


Suggestions

I've never been a gamer and have no idea how this might work.
If its just a case of uploading a file JR might be able to do this already.

Built in shopping cart for Jamroom?


Suggestions

FoxyCart is fully featured and provides everything needed for a Jamroom shopping cart. We currently have no plans for any others.

Alternatively checkout the PayPal module for users with their own PP accounts.
Hope that helps

Now Safe To Delete The Ning Archive?


Installation and Configuration

No, don't delete public_html\data\media\0\0\Ning_Archive
It may be ok to delete the original archive in the Jamroom folder.
The 'referenced' files that are copied to public_html\data\media\0\0\Ning_Archive is a relatively recent inovation in Ning Import and it might be that your import pre-dates it.
Curtis - email me your admin logins so that I can check your site out and see what is ok to delete.
Thanks
