Blog into widget?

Using Jamroom

try not to get frustrated.

If you can write the steps you are taking that brought you to "...feels like I have tried everything and I can manage to get my first blog to be visible but not the last...."

Then we can understand where you are at.

You're wanting a blog in a widget.
* add a widget to the page
* make it an "Item List" widget of the "blog" type.
* If you only want it for one particular profile_id, then add in the search section _profile_id = (your profile id)

That should be it.

"...to get my first blog to be visible but not the last...."
What results are you getting?

Image crop=portrait

Using Jamroom

Not sure of the term is there or not, but the ratio will work.
crop=16:9
crop=4:3 (the best ratio for laptops that is no longer availalbe )
crop=16:10 (the next best thing to a 4:3 laptop monitor)
crop=1:1 (same as square)

whatever you like.

google maps api key in time map

Genosis

looks like you've installed this module:
https://www.jamroom.net/ultrajam/networkmarket/ss=maps

The producer of that module is @ultrajam

Their forum is here:
https://www.jamroom.net/ultrajam/forum

Their docs Table of Contents is here:
https://www.jamroom.net/ultrajam/documentation/contents

Looks like the doc you want is related to putting in your API key to the module.


Probably this doc at a guess:

Ultrajam Docs: "Google Maps API Usage and Limits"
https://www.jamroom.net/ultrajam/documentation/modules/1788/google-maps-api-usage-and-limits

Usually keys go in the ACP -> MODULES -> (whatever category that module is in) -> GoogleMaps -> GLOBAL CONFIG

Member signups

Design and Skin Customization

you want to build a signup page around the form to signup to a specific quota, like "Artists signup page" "Members signup page".

Or you want to redirect to a specific url per quota after the signup form has been completed?

Subscriptions

Design and Skin Customization

all styles are contained in your skins CSS files so you can add styles to:
/skins/YOUR SKIN/css/(here are all the style)

Your question is very broad, so heres a link that covers skin design

Page Module Current ID

Jamroom Developers

MySite/ProfileA/page/2/home

the 2 corresponds to the _item_id in the jrPage modules datastore. It is unique site wide. The 'home' part of the URL is cosmetic and not used other than for a human user to visualize the url and SEO reasons.

MySite/ProfileA/page/2/home
MySite/ProfileA/page/2/three-birds-in-a-tree
MySite/ProfileA/page/2/wednesdays-i-like-to-bake

Are all exactly the same URL.

--
Not really understanding Question #2. You can use the ID from the URL to retrieve the item from the datastore if its not already there for you in the location you're programming at.

$_item = jrCore_db_get_item('jrPage', 2);

Will get you an array of the data that is attached to item 2 from the jrPage datastore. with that comes all the profile information where that item is stored on.

How To? - Fill Site Builder Widget with background image

Design and Skin Customization

You have two pieces of CSS code there, the first one does nothing because its not targeting anything, translated to english it reads "make the margin zero and have no padding".

Which would be fine, if you actually supplied a target.

--
The second one has a target, it targets 'html' which is the wrapper for the entire page including the head and the body, everything.

The code you are then offering is "give it a background image found at images/yourimage.jpg, center it in the page and dont repeat it."

so as long as that image is actually there, I would expect that it may appear. Any more specific CSS than yours will over-ride it. Thats what CSS is Cascading Style Sheets.

Works like this: if you have ten layers all nested, and in css you say, paint the bottom layer green. Then you say, paint the second bottom layer red the person viewing those layers will see red. Unless the second bottom layer is smaller than the bottom layer.

If you want to target a specific widget, you need a better targeter than 'html'.

Widgets will have a targeter on them something like id="jrWidget_item_id_4" for each individual widget. you can target that with CSS like this

Then the code you're passing in is JUST targeting THAT widget. so you need to use firebug or similar to view the id= on the widget your interested in.

Can members reopen an account after the email address is identified as invalid by Kickbox?

Using Jamroom

Sounds like a good setup to me.

Can members reopen an account after the email address is identified as invalid by Kickbox?

Using Jamroom

"Kickbox fails" is a quota you have chosen and named. There is nothing special about it. It is a quota like any others that will have whatever quota settings you have set for it.

If you want to change it back to a more regular quota, you can as the admin user. Its not recommended to let users change their own quota, but it is possible. (remember how difficult it was getting your head around quotas? willing to offer that responsibility to your users who havent read the docs??? suggest no.)

If you want to allow them to select their own quota:

Support Ticket Module

Off Topic

Hi Rod, welcome.

The docs on the Support Ticket module are here:

Docs: "Support Tickets"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/2046/support-tickets

You're interested in adding new form fields, so the thing you want is the Form Designer

Docs: "Using the Form Designer"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-admin-handbook/1275/using-the-form-designer

We've just put up a video on that subject in the Video Learning section:

Video Learning: "The Admin Handbook: The Form Designer"
https://www.jamroom.net/video-training/85/admin-handbook-the-form-designer

(just had a look)
The Form Designer is not currently enabled in the Support Tickets module, if it was, you would be seeing a Form Designer button here (screenshot)

So the module would need to be updated to allow for that, or another custom module built to tap into it via "Events and Listeners"


Docs: "Events and Listeners"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/module-developer-guide/1011/events-and-listeners

So its not impossible, but its also something thats best attempted after you have a grasp on the rest of Jamroom.

We do do sponsored customization on occasion. It might just be the case of activating the Form Designer, Id need to look into it to know for sure.

"- Can Time Spent on the Ticket be captured and consolidated within the Ticket?"
curently, no.

- Can the Ticket details (if selected) be exposed to a user or group profile? i.e: Group member can have "My Open Tickets" Widget?
also currently does not exist.

- beyond this, can Ticket summaries be exposed in general? i.e: Current Open Tickets Today, This week etc? Closed Tickets.. Could use to demonstrate Customer Satisfaction
Here on jamroom.net we use the forums for anything anyone thinks is open enough for everyone to see along with levels:
- No solution
- Solved
- Completed
- Closed
- Investigating
- In Progress
- User Tip

So the Forums on our profile get used for public customer support issues. The tickets system is totally private, so its for stuff, like "send me your password" or private things. as such, we havent built anything that displays the tickets publicly. They are all stored in the datastore though, so they can be accessed via the {jrCore_list} system

Docs: "{jrCore_list}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/module-developer-guide/89/jrcore-list


If thats what you want to do.

Yes like/thumbs up ratings can be exposed.

Basically all modules get a "datastore" to store their stuff. you use {jrCore_list} to make lists of that stuff to show to your users.

users put things onto their profile. that stuff is stored in a datastore, you choose what you want to show off, and build lists of it.

Its a very extensible system.

If you use Jamroom Hosting, you dont need the Premium, all modules are available to you for as many websites as you care to build.

Premium is recommended if you want to use some other hosting for whatever reason.
