hiding the profile location and questions on shops and mnain forums


Ning To Jamroom

Strumelia:
But I don't want to turn it off for everyone, Paul- just for my one single "forums' profile, my 'child' profile within which all my site forums is residing.

OK - Just wrap the template code with {if $profile_quota_id != x} . . . {/if} where x is the forum quota id

So, in profile_sidebar.tpl -
{if $profile_quota_id != x}
        {if (isset($profile_location) && strlen($profile_location) > 0) || (isset($profile_country) && strlen($profile_country) > 0) || (isset($profile_zip) && strlen($profile_zip) > 0) &&  $_conf.jrNingja_profile_location_box == 'on'}
        <div class="block">
            <h3>{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="17" default="Location"}:</h3>
            <div class="block_content mt10">
                <div style="padding-top:8px">
                    {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="17" default="Location"}: {$profile_location}<br>
                    {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="44" default="Country"}: {$profile_country}
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        {/if}

        {if jrUser_is_logged_in() && $_conf.mdLisaNEW_profile_questions == 'on'}
            {jrNingImport_signup_questions user_id=$_user_id assign="ning_questions"}
            {if isset($ning_questions)}
                <div class="block">
                    <div class="block_content mt10">
                        {$ning_questions}
                    </div>
                </div>
            {/if}
        {/if}
{/if}

ningja skin 1.0.16 changelog


Ning To Jamroom

Strumelia:
Maybe Paul could take a look at what I may have goofed up?- since he did some of the modifications for me on my index template a few weeks ago.... ?

Done - You had a few {/if} statements missing or in the wrong place.

Can Member Profile Content Be Limited or Focused?


Using Jamroom

Hi Shelly - Welcome to Jamroom
As you are probably aware Jamroom is for building 'community' websites and as such has numerous features available geared towards that - friends/followers, blogs, messaging, image and media uploads, privacy settings, forums, etc. etc. so you shouldn't find it lacking with respect to allowing your users to connect with each other.
As for keeping your site focused, we have a module called Aparna. This is basically a tool for creating specific 'item' sets that can be listed, added to, updated (and deleted) by your members. If you think of a blog, song or video as a Jamroom 'item', with Aparna your could create an item called 'material', another called 'pattern' or even another called 'idea'. You can then add attributes to those items, for instance, with 'material' you could add a select type option of wool, cotton, nylon, etc., then another option for your members to enter how many yards of said material they actually have. I guessing here as to what attributes you would actually need but hopefully it explains how your members could build a site focused database of their materials to hand. The same could then be done for patterns and ideas. You can even add file uploads to these created items allowing members to share patterns, say.
All of this is done without any coding by just filling in forms in the Jamroom control panel. However, to present the data to your users would then require some template work. You might consider this as 'coding' but in reality, it is just editing pre-generate text files, but having said that, basic html knowledge is useful.
As I have said, I'm just guessing at what you might actually need but hopefully giving you an idea of what Jamroom can do.
For website hosting, we can also help with that. By the end of this month we will be offering a range of Jamroom hosting packages where we take care of server configuration, backups etc. This project is entering its beta phase this coming Monday.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any further questions.

Ning sign up questions


Ning To Jamroom

Hi Kos
Yes, it's possible. After import just run the tool to see the questions, that will generate them all in the user data store, then just create the custom fields for the ones you want from Ning and create any new ones you want for the JR site.

hiding the profile location and questions on shops and mnain forums


Ning To Jamroom

Strumelia:
Yes i too would like to hide my "Forums" member's personal profile info (which includes my OWN personal ning signup questions and the member "forums"'s personal tabs of profile content) when people go to any discussions within my site's ".../forums/forum" discussions. I don't have any shops though.
@paul -would I use that same code as well?- and if so, in what template please?

If you don't want it to show at all, just turn the locations and user questions off in the Ningja skin configuration.

URL Shortening and Content Descriptions for Open Graph Scraping


Using Jamroom

Hold on, if you update a gallery image you get a 'gallery_caption' field so a description can be added there which will show on the profiles' image detail view.
So all you need to do is add field 'gallery_caption' to the create form and the description can be added at create time.

NOTE that if a gallery of more than one image is created, that same description will be applied to every image in the gallery.

location lot a signup question or editable field


Ning To Jamroom

soaringeagle:
they came from somewhere i have no idea where but all i can assume is they were left over from members that used that id in the past
or from a wipe and reimport i dont know

cause some were only a month old others 5 years old

I was going to suggest that was the cause but wanted to check your data stores first. I know you did a lot of re-imports so I'm guessing that a load of comments somehow got orphaned and are now finding new homes as people sign up.
I'll check your datastores anyway and see if I can work out a way to delete any remaining orphaned comments.
