Approving blog posts


Using Jamroom

Probably not. What/whose blog posts do you want to allow your members to approve? Sounds like a dubious privilege to give members, but I guess I'm mis-understanding what you want to do exactly?

How to make lists?


Using Jamroom

Yes - Can now confirm that nothing can be done to eliminate multiple artists from this list by using the widget parameters, so have implemented it in the template. Take a look at http://metaldevastationradio.com/test now.
Its a bit of a sprag as to show a list of 10 top songs, we ask for more than that (25) then filter out duplicate artist names in the template foreach loop (hoping that we have enough unique artists to make up the ten needed!!).

For anyone else who is interested in how this is done, here is the basic code logic -
{jrCore_module_url module="jrAudio" assign="murl"}
{if isset($_items)}
	{$ctr = 0}
    {foreach from=$_items item="item"}
		{if $ctr == 10}
            {break}
        {/if}
        {if !isset($_tmp["`$item['profile_name']`"])}
            {jrCore_array name='_tmp' key=$item['profile_name'] value=1}
            {$ctr = $ctr + 1}
            {**** Code to show the item here ****}
        {/if}
    {/foreach}
{/if}

How to make lists?


Using Jamroom

FYI - The custom code isn't necessary, I just added it in so as to include the actual number of plays per song. The default template doesn't include that info.

How to make lists?


Using Jamroom

Thanks Zach - See how I have this set up at http://metaldevastationradio.com/test - it orders songs by 'most played' and excludes songs with the genre 'interview'.
The problem comes when you try to add in a 'group by' so as to only show one song per artist. The issue is in the way the MySql responds to the database query in that it will return the song entry of the first artist in finds in the group, which will not necessarily be the artist's song with the most plays. The returned songs are then ordered.
This is a limitation of the way MySql works on a php server and there is not much that Jamroom can do about it directly.
The alternative might be to do something clever in the template to filter out duplicate artists. I will check that out for you.

invitations module?


Using Jamroom

You needed to unzip the downloaded module locally then upload to the /modules folder.
Its always best to install modules (and skins) direct from the ACP Marketplace. That way everything is taken care of.
The jrInvite module is in the marketplace beta channel. I've enabled that channel on your site and installed the Invite module - it's in the ACP=>Users section and needs to be enabled and configured.
(Have also removed the uploaded files from your server that were in the wrong place!!).

Click on the Form Designer button when in your User Account form and add the admin quota to the Display Groups, or just select 'Normal Users' so that all logged in users see the fields.

Using Jamroom

Your members should be able to modify their answers themselves as all these user fields are enabled for their quota.
If they go to their User Account form they should see them.

tweak the Like/Dislike module


Using Jamroom

This is working ok on my development site, but what I will say is that my Like module revision (as yet unreleased) is more recent than yours so this may have been fixed up. We'll hopefully get it released soon.
