Combined audio 'require image' code question

Design and Skin Customization

Seamless can search for different fields in different modules - http://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/289/seamless - so try something like -

{jrSeamless_list modules="jrAudio,jrSoundcloud" search="audio_image_size > 0,soundcloud_title LIKE %" . . . }

How can we safely employ outside help for site development?

Design and Skin Customization

Basically a developer would need 'full' access to the Jamroom site so as to take advantage of all its features and development tools, but he he was just doing template work it might be possible for him to progress just using an FTP account access to your server.
The best option would be for you to set up a development site based/cloned on your potential live site and give him full access to that, then when complete, the newly developed skin can be copied to the live site.
Hope that helps

Microsoft SQL?
No, only MySQL. In fact, Jamroom will also not work on Windows servers, only Linus/Unix ones - https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/774/requirements

Can't log in. I create an account but I'm not redirected.

Hi @nahiding and welcome to Jamroom.

Sounds as though javascript isn't enabled or working properly on your server. Look in your browser error console to see if there are any clues there. Also look at the logs on the server in /data/logs to see if any problems reported there.

You may have done this already, but take a look at our hosting packages - https://www.jamroom.net/hosting - Super fast dedicated server (not shared), Jamroom pre-installed and fully functional, free use of all JR modules and skins, VIP support, 7 day free trial etc.
Hope that helps

That's Michael's conclusion. Maybe worth contacting them to see their take on it?

Well, as you likely realise, Jamroom isn't Ning and inherently what you are wanting isn't inherent in Jamroom. However, JR is flexible enough to maybe make all things possible with a bit of customisation !!
But before we go down that route, are we talking two seperate requirements here -

1) You want users want to able to approve comments on their blog posts before the the comment shows to the general public

2) You want to facilitate an Advice Columnist

Are these two requirements connected and the Advice Columnist is somehow going to use blogs? If so, how does that work? I assumed an Advice Columnist would be asked a question and he/she gives answers. That's why I suggested giving him/her a forum.

Thanks Perrie, it does clarify but doesn't explain why!! Why would someone, after writing a blog, have to approve it before it was published? Surely the act of writing it means they want it published? Jamroom blogs do include a publish date/time field so maybe your users could use that if thet want time to assess/edit what they have blogged? And they can edit/delete their blogs at any time, so self moderation is built in.

Advice Columnist suggestion - Clone his/her quota, add the forum module to it and move him/her to that quota. He/she will then have a forum for users to seek advice from, and be into total control of it.

So on Ning members could moderate each others blogs? That can't be right. Sounds like a recipe for chaos!!

I've never been a 'blogger' or regularly read any blog sites, but surely they define what a blog is, as opposed to a forum topic, but if you feel they are duplicating the same functionality on your site, just disable one of them.

Could you not just make your Advice Columnist a profile admin?
