Helping my members see their 'pending' Followers

Using Jamroom

What should be happening in the original module is:
* PersonA clicks 'Follow' on PersonB's profile, A is now following B and a pending request is added to B's pending list. Once B clicks approve, then B is following A completing the loop.

--edit--
testing the system now to figure out what is going on and what should happen.

If you change a modules template in the file system, then whenever a new module is released the change will disappear.

The problem is:
* skins that don't override modules will have no issue.
* skins that require an override of a module template in order to fit into the skin wont work with a default module made by aparna because the modules template wont have been customized to fit the skin.

Using aparna to create a module that doesnt fit with the skin causes:
"I made this with aparna, but it doesnt work" type questions to be asked, to which the answer is "It will work but you have to customize the templates now", to which the response is "How do I do that without code, im not a coder".

Which leaves us at a point where we need to do direct customizations to individual sites each time the module is used.

Thats not a good structure, so its better to retire the module and let those that will make modules make them, and not give half finished modules to those that dont really want to make modules.

Guess you hate it when updates come out then? Probably don't update because you don't want to re-apply your changes? Use those methods and you can like updating again

Using Jamroom

private profiles would do that. Whats the URL of that page?

Index Page Featured Profiles

Design and Skin Customization

flashback asks you to set settings in the ACP -> SKINS -> FLASHBACK -> GLOBAL CONFIG to choose which profile ids show on the front page in that area.

If you just want random ones you can remove the profile setting restriction by chaning:
to

in the index.tpl file

symbols in gallery/image name cause weird issues (urls)

Using Jamroom

nope, the rest of the file might not match up with your core version.

What were the issues you had when you changed it?

jrAparna module

Using Jamroom

The big issue is skins that provide template overrides such as the FollowMe skin.

What aparna does is create a module that supposed to work, but it doesn't on all skins, so its only going to get you half way there in some cases. Because its only going to get you half way there it causes confusion for those that it doesnt work for because they expect it to work.

If it works for you, keep using it, but its hard to support a module that creates a broken system in some cases that require technical knowledge to fix on behalf of the user using the module or us to go fix it for them.
