Issues on member Profile Pages
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:WRT the way the discussions are being listed within the Lastest Discussions panel. I can change the sort as shown here - from " _created " to " _updated ".

{jrCore_list module="jrGroupDiscuss" order_by="_updated desc" profile_id=$_profile_id template=$pd_tpl}

The resultant displayed text is:

@chocliferoot 2 years ago - Comments: 9

What I really want it to say is:

@chocliferoot - Comments: 9; Last updated ## on MMMDDYY; Created 2 years ago

Taking a closer look, it might be in the foreach loop above but, again, I am not familiar enough with the core to know how to get the output I am looking for.

If you look in the profile_index_discussion.tpl file above where that jrCore_list is called, you'll see where the template assigned to $pd_tpl is created. Line 20 is where the above is outputted, so change that line to something like -
<br><small><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.original_profile_url}">@{$item.original_profile_url}</a> - {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="37" default="Comments"}: {$item.discuss_comment_count|default:0}; Last updated on {$item._updated|jrCore_format_time:false:"M d y"}; Created {$item._created|jrCore_format_time:false:"relative"}</small>

Issues on member Profile Pages
Installation and Configuration

Quote:I wanted to change the order that Groups were displayed when someone clicked on Groups in the top Nav
There is no jrGroup_index.tpl override file in the Ningja skin so this is handled by the default index.tpl file in the jrGroup module. Change the order_by parameter in the jrCore_list call.

Quote:In the top screenshot, you'll see that the Latest Discussion is from 11 months ago (_created) and has zero comments. I'd like it to be the most recently updated (_updated) and be preceded by the string "updated ". I feel confident I can do this using what I learned reading the jrCore_List documentation and the notes on how to trunc the length of a title in an image gallery. But where is the template? (ON A RELATED NOTE: I want to get rid of the latest music panel.)
You can change the profile discussion order_by in the Ningja profile_index_discussion.tpl template.
The music panel is in Ningja profile_index.tpl - delete or comment out this bit -
            <div class="{if $profile_jrVideo_item_count > 0}col6{else}col12 last{/if}">
                <div class="block">
                    {jrCore_include template="profile_index_music.tpl"}
                </div>
            </div>
Hint - Wrap code in {* *} to comment out - {* "This will not show!!" *}

Quote:In the bottom screenshot you will notice that the list of Groups is displayed. I got here not by clicking Groups from the list of modules, but by clicking "All" next to "Latest Discussions" the URL displayed on the mouseover is, in fact. groups.

My expectation for what **should happen** is that it would show discussions I have created or contributed to, and the display would be ordered to show the most recent at the top.
I think the logic there is that all profile discussions are part of a group, so that is why it goes to the group page, but I see where you're coming from. I'll raise that with Douglas and see what we think.
Thanks

2 things missing from forums
Installation and Configuration

Still don't get it. Maybe I'm missing the point.
But if you want discus, ratings and likes on forum posts it's easy enough to add the relevant module calls to the forum template.

Sorry but why does a forum on which users can comment need another commenting system (discus) adding to it?

Pages imported from Ning - viewable, properties editable?
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Ahh,

So I have to assign the pages before they become visible on the site. Makes sense.

On the other hand ...

When I cancel out of this page:

http://www.thechocolatelife.info/thechocolatelife/group_page/group_config

I was sent to this page:

http://www.thechocolatelife.info/thechocolatelife/shekhar-halder/forum/14469/about-chocolate-making

and getting a 404 instead of being returned back to the Tools page in the ACP, which is what I would have expected.

I saw something like that happening when I pasted the above url directly into the browser and cancelling. It happens because the button code directs to its 'referrer' so that forum page was likely in the browser history.
When going to that page via conventional means with the ACP, it works ok.
Thanks

Profile comments appear to be missing on import
Installation and Configuration

I've got this fixed up on your site, Clay, and have updated the jrNingImport module to fix the bug that caused this.
For anyone else, please download and use the latest V1.1.11 version from the Marketplace.
Thanks

Home Page - Replacing Top Discussions with Forum > Newest Posts
Installation and Configuration

Just to be clear, the jrForum module wasn't created for Ning, its been around for a while.
The Ning archive only has a list of discussions, some of which are associated to groups. Those are imported to the jrGroupDiscuss module.
The rest, those not associated to a group, are imported to the jrForum module and become 'global' forums/discussions.
