You have the 'Template Name in Source' option in the Developer module turned on -

NING Member emails extraction?


Ning To Jamroom

All you need to do is load the CSV file into Excel or another 'spreadsheet' app. All the emails are in one column so delete all the other columns then save the work in the appropriate format.
Hope that helps

Auto-follow ALL Profiles OR release lists from follow condition?


Using Jamroom

Am a bit confused here Leslie. Where have you used 'profile exclude' and in what context?
Also, if you have set some profiles to 'followers only' but then want all members to follow everyone it defeats the object a bit. By default in Jamroom all users can see all profiles and their content so why not just leave things as that?
I guess I'm just mis-understanding what you want to achieve - Can you be more specific?
Thanks
Pa

No thumbnails on Vimeo private videos


Using Jamroom

Hi Leslie - The Vimeo module has an API call to vimeo.com to get all of a video's meta data that includes the url to the video image. We've found out that this does not work if the vimeo video is private. We're working on a solution.
Thanks
Paul

Display Signup form field on Profile


Using Jamroom

fdebug can be useful as well. It dumps specific variables to the debug log that you can view in your ACP Dashboard. Its mainly used when coding/debugging php but it works in templates as well - {fdebug($_user, $_profile_id)} (insert whatever variables you want dumping).

Using Jamroom

I assume you know about using {debug} in templates? Its an essential tool when developing templates - https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-developers-guide/1477/debug

How do I remove items so they don't show in a profile "latest activity"


Using Jamroom

Quote: But I have observed, through my own experience and other forum posts, that the highly flexible concept of Quotas/Profiles/Users/Roles (Master Admin) leads to many support requests that you have to personally investigate. Like this one. It feels inefficient.

Maybe hearing this comment again will lead to a great idea on how you could have another flavor of Jamroom that is more intuitive for non-coding users, like Ning owner (aka Jamroom for Dummies).

Thanks for the feedback Elise. It is appreciated. We have thought about a 'Jamroom for Dummies' before and have tried to implement it by making the creation a site on our hosting as easy as possible, the import process straightforward (particularly by paying for it), developing SiteBuilder and even creating a 'Ning' skin that implements all their Ning functionality. There are still a few more things we can do to ease the process and we're working on them but the problem is that there is never going to be a 'one size fits all' and users will want to customise their sites, which is fine, but they then invariably hit the profile/user/quota thing when they only know and understand 'members'. To many, that is then a brick wall and they are unwilling to put in any effort to read docs., so just fire questions at us instead. Note that you and the other recent Ning converts here are not included in this generalisation. You all have made the effort, read the docs. and are only asking for clarifications, which is great. We’re especially happy to help those who help themselves, so to speak :-)

I'll ask the rest of the JR team to try this. Michael is in Japan so it'll be interesting to see what he sees.

Display Signup form field on Profile


Using Jamroom

Elise:
I'm in the Ningja profile_sidebar.tpl and I don't see the magic of finding the "profile being viewed" to user id translation.
If I just use
{$_ut = jrCore_db_get_item('jrUser', $_user_id)}
I'll get *my* location on every profile?

No the $_user_id variable is the ID of the user that belongs to the profile being viewed, so using the above smarty code in the template will assign all the data for that user to array variable $_ut, including the custom field 'user_about' so in the template, after that assignation, just use {$_ut.user_about} where you want to show that info.
Note that in almost every Jamroom template the array variable $_user is already available and that is the data of the logged in user (you) viewing the site.

Nervous about re-sizing images


Using Jamroom

You can create another (dummy) domain on your Jamroom server and then use the tools available to you in your Hosting Control Panel ( https://www.jamroom.net/lesrinchen/hosting/dashboard) to copy the existing site to the new one, BUT as you are currently using 3GB of your 4GB server this won't work unless you increase the server to 8GB say.
Alternatively, from your Hosting Control Panel you can invoke a full backup at any time thought this may be up to 24 hours old so you would lose any other changes made since the last backup.
