An 'Heads Up'

Ning To Jamroom

Hi all
Just an advance notice that from Tuesday evening I am 'out of town' for nine days. I'll still hopefully have internet connection where I am so can check in, but not as frequently as I do now.
The Jamroom Team has been running at 50% capacity for the past week, just at the time when Ning imports have took off, so we have been stretched keeping up, to say the least, but the other two guys will be back this week so can hopefully respond to your questions here then if I'm not around at the time.

So, can I ask that all of you that have been emailing me directly with questions post them here, or on the main Jamroom forum instead? All the team will then see them and be able to respond, and that will also benefit other users who may have the same issues.

Thanks
Paul

quota confusion

Ning To Jamroom

There is another Jamroom event called 'daily_maintenence' that is fired at midnight server time every day, so yes, you could also listen for that and make a quota changes on that.
For how to build listeners checkout https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1011/events-and-listeners

All your ideas are possible with a bit of template work.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I'll add a 'Work in progress' category, and there already is a 'Sites' button on this page that I'll add N2JR sites to as they go live. They will need to apply to be put there, hopefully with a short testimonial about Jamroom/why they moved/whatever that I can put up, along with a link to their site.

quota confusion

Ning To Jamroom

Probably best to create multiple 'signup quotas', each with its specific cart options. Registering users can then select what features they want.
If you want to assign quotas based on signup questions you'll need a custom module that listens for 'signup_created' event. It can then look at the responses to the questions and allocate a quota accordingly.

To automate quota allocation on a regular basis, that same custom module could include another listener that listened for the 'db_create_item' and 'db_update_item' events. If those events were creating or updating something that qualified a profile quota change, it would put it into effect by modifying the profile's datastore profile_quota_id value. It could also optionally send the user an email telling him about it.

featured content on jr

Using featured profiles as an example, with the Form Designer add a custom field to the profile update form called 'profile_featured', make it a checkbox and visible to admin only. Then make the smarty list function that shows featured artist look like this -

{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" search="profile_featured = on" . . . }

Then, as admin, you can tick the boxes of those profiles you want featured.

Yeah - people like to moan

Adding to another profile's gallery...

Using Jamroom

One option that I would consider for this would be a custom module with a 'view' in it that is the gallery upload form but with an additional select field for all profiles so that the uploaded gallery images could be tagged with the profile they are associated with. Or instead of the select field, a hidden field with the associated profile ID that was passed to the view as a URL $_post option.

It could also be done within the templates and with custom form fields created by the Form Designer, but I think the custom module view method might be cleaner and easier to control.

@iamtimbo - from what I know of your project, you might be needing a custom module anyway for various 'miscellaneous' functions, so it could well include this view as well. Checkout the module building documentation and videos.
