Alert tools for Administrators who need help from technical assistants


Suggestions

There are technical tools available that allow their users to understand what has changed in a codebase over time.

The jamroom team uses "Git". Its a tool for programmers though, there is no interface for it in jamroom ACP beyond the compare tool on the TEMPLATES tab.

These types of tools have a common name of "revision control systems" and there are many flavors.

I hesitate to recommend them though, I suspect they would cause you more confusion that the benefit they give.

Site Builder Widget behaviour - Forums, Photos and Timeline


Installation and Configuration

The docs are here:

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

Its the "Search Wildcards" section that outlines the _ and the %.

In Site Builder when you use the "Item List" widget you will see the code for the {jrCore_list} that is created by your form choices so you can begin to understand what its doing.

With forums, only the initial post in a forum will have a forum_title_url , all the replies dont, so by asking for a
forum_title_url contains _%
thats asking for "an item that has a title that is longer than 1 letter"

Saw broken image on my Home page. Weird stuff happened after replacement


Using Jamroom

That "Sign up for new members" appearing over the top of your image is doing that because you chose to set the image to "float: left"

Open the editor where the image is in and click on it to select it, then click on the "left align" button in the editor to change the FLOAT to a normal left alignment.

Alternatively you could use the < > (view source) button to look for the image code:
<img src="http://researchcooperative.org/upimg/image/upimg_file/34/196" style="float: left; margin: 0px;" alt="LG asagao 2016 copy.jpg">
and remove the style="float:left;"
<img src="http://researchcooperative.org/upimg/image/upimg_file/34/196" alt="LG asagao 2016 copy.jpg">

Add notification triggers?


Using Jamroom

"Sponsor a module" cost is development time with an adjustment multiplier for usefulness. So if its something that we would build for everyone anyhow, then the cost is putting off whatever else we want to build that we want to build, or is probably more useful for more people. Since JR6 is currently in beta its got full focus right now, we want to get that released. If you need it done NOW that has to be put off til later so the cost is higher.

As a general guide for myself, I gauge it at around $40/hour then try to figure out how many hours it would take me.

Once created, general flow is to put it into a private channel for you so you can get the module on your site if its a new module, to make sure its working how you expect it to work, then release it to everyone later on in the future if there is interest.

Holly has sponsored a module before. Thanks Holly.

Holly Dilatush:.....then thinking to myself, but how would I do that?....

You could make a list of the new photos somewhere on your site to show the newest ones with a site builder widget.

A module doesn't HAVE to be sponsored by one person, but get too many and everyone has different expectations and it becomes real hard to satisfy everyone unless its simple.

Site Builder Widget behaviour - Forums, Photos and Timeline


Installation and Configuration

What you probably want is not _updated, but forum_updated:
{jrCore_list module="jrForum" order_by="forum_updated desc" limit="5"}

That appears to be the correct one here for me, it may be that I'm on newer code thats coming out with JR6 though, so not sure if it will give the same results for you.

How to Include "Add to Timeline" for Forum/Create when posting as Admin?


Using Jamroom

Should be working the same regardless of whether your an admin user or not. Tested here, appears to be working.

I am seeing the "share to timeline" when I click the "+" on site.com/admin/main-forum

Try saving the "add to timeline" option page and try again:
ACP -> PROFILES -> FORUM -> GLOBAL CONFIG -> GENERAL SETTINGS -> Add to Timeline

See if anything changes.
