Embed Vimeo videos using URLs? Why not?


Ning To Jamroom

Clay - See my response to your support ticket I've just posted. I actually created a vimeo account for you and set up the module with the codes so that I could do the import, so its all done.

Multiple profiles per user account (?)


Ning To Jamroom

Paul:

If I understand properly. I am not "transferring" a profile from one account to another, I am giving one profile the ability to let another profile contribute to and edit their profile.

Yes, either to a specific profile (band members, say) or to all profiles (Profile Admin).

Quote: I am thinking of creating a bunch of quotas that members can self-assign themselves to. I think I have to use FoxyCart to create quotas that are free to do this. If I read things correctly, I can use Mailgun to then send email to specific quotas. That capability is something I've wanted in Ning since the very beginning.

No, you as Admin can create free quotas. You would only need FoxyCart if had any paid for quotas that users could subscribe to.

With the jrNewsletter module you can target email newsletters/messages to specific quotas. This can be done with Jamroom's own email system, or via Mailgun using the free jrMailgun module.

An imperfect analogy ... but building on the band example above I am thinking about a Facebook business page where I can add existing profiles as page admins.

Here the end result is the same but the process is different.

To do that, as admin, just go to the profile page, Update Profile (gear wheel icon), Account Tab, then make them a 'Profile Admin'.

Quote: it's something I am struggling with trying to understand how, why, and where it's useful.
Another use might be a band profile having a user account for each of the band members so that they can all update the band profile.
Or in Brian's example above, a 'power user' might be an employee of an agency tasked with adding all their client profiles to the site.

The API key is also required when searching. Vimeo, SoundCloud and Flickr require this. YouTube are more liberal with their data !

Image Troubles


Ning To Jamroom

It looks the same for the other modules as well (Events, Groups etc.) When you go to any of their detail pages they are not found, implying the modules haven't been set up for the profiles' quota.

Image Troubles


Ning To Jamroom

Hi Andy
There's a bug in the 'Media Manage' tool of the NingImport module that I'm working on at the moment.
For now, re-import your blogs (and any other items where you see broken images) using the 'Delete and Re-Create' option and don't run the Manage Media tool. All images should show. Note that blog lists on the homepage have html stripped so images will not show there.
Let me know if that works.
Thanks
Paul

Any chance the dynamic wall is going to be in the market


Off Topic

Was doing a bit more work on this module yesterday but it is proving a bit troublesome. Have been trying to make it so it works without any template modifications. Its nearly there. Hopefully do a bit more to it later today.
Thanks

Easy Question


Using Jamroom

Checkout our free video course here - https://www.udemy.com/courses/search/?ref=home&q=jamroom - on starting your own online community with Jamroom. If you download and install the free Jamroom Core that has everything you need for a basic community site and will give you a good idea on how it all works. You can then decide what additional modules you might need for what you have in mind.

The Jamroom front-end (what visitors see) is completely template driven. This means that by editing Jamroom's default templates, or by creating your own new ones, you are in control of your site design and layout. To do this you do need basic html/css coding skills that you say you have, so you should be ok with that. Alternatively use one of the Jamroom stock skins that's close to the layout you want and tweak that.

So, I would highly recommend installing the free core somewhere and diving in. Hopefully you'll soon get the hang of Jamroom. Any questions, search our main forum or ask there. There will likely be a prompt response from one of the team or other Jamroom users.
