featured content on jr

Installation and Configuration

Using featured profiles as an example, with the Form Designer add a custom field to the profile update form called 'profile_featured', make it a checkbox and visible to admin only. Then make the smarty list function that shows featured artist look like this -

{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" search="profile_featured = on" . . . }

Then, as admin, you can tick the boxes of those profiles you want featured.

Adding to another profile's gallery...

Using Jamroom

One option that I would consider for this would be a custom module with a 'view' in it that is the gallery upload form but with an additional select field for all profiles so that the uploaded gallery images could be tagged with the profile they are associated with. Or instead of the select field, a hidden field with the associated profile ID that was passed to the view as a URL $_post option.

It could also be done within the templates and with custom form fields created by the Form Designer, but I think the custom module view method might be cleaner and easier to control.

@iamtimbo - from what I know of your project, you might be needing a custom module anyway for various 'miscellaneous' functions, so it could well include this view as well. Checkout the module building documentation and videos.

jrUrlScan module NOT WORKING...

Do you have the jrYouTube module installed?
To parse a YouTube URL in a string, this module needs functions in the YouTube module.

organizing after import questions

Installation and Configuration

Yes - "ning-to-jamroom" is a profile, just like yours and mine here, along with "the-jamroom-network" and a few others on this site, but they are in their own quota so that they can have features to make them work as site pages, like this.
So, presuming that your main imported forum, belongs to 'admin', make 'admin' the forum page.

The Jamroom forum is what you see here. It cannot nest categories. But maybe each category could be a profile and a page built to show profiles in the 'forum category' quota, if you see what I mean? That would indirectly create another layer of categories.

Trying out groups...

Installation and Configuration

Don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but with respect, I'm wondering if you have worked through some of our online documentation or checked out our video courses at https://www.udemy.com/courses/search/?ref=home&q=jamroom

Apologies if you already have done this, but I feel that with just a bit more knowledge of what what Jamroom is about, the way it works and its concepts, you'll quickly see how to realise your website. Hope you don't mind me suggesting this.

What I would then suggest is a 'specification' of exactly what the website is to do, proposed pages, page links etc. That way we can work through it and propose exactly how Jamroom can achieve it.

Simple HTML and CSS usage in Jamroom

Design and Skin Customization

Sorry.
In the Admin Control Panel, click the Skins tab to see which skin is active (enabled) for your site. If its a fresh install it'll probably be 'Elastic'.
In your FTP, goto the skins folder then see sub-folders of all the installed skins. Goto the enabled folder and see all the templates for that skin. Add your file there.

Using the main Jamroom forums

Installation and Configuration

Hey Guys, can I suggest that any questions about actually using, designing and configuring Jamroom be posted on the main Jamroom forums at https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum ?
It would be advantageous to you as your questions would be seen by a lot more Jamroom users so you could get quicker answers.

That would then leave this forum free for Ning import related issues.

Thanks
Paul
