Groups not showing from profile pages (only from dropdown)

Using Jamroom


Thats not right. If you follow groups that link should be there in your user menu. Looks like a bug.

The user will always be able to see the groups they follow from the:
your-site.com/group/my_groups

Regardless of whether they can CREATE groups or not.

Needs fixing.

dropdown menu from Profile name (where to find in language editor)

Using Jamroom

That menu is called the 'User Menu' and you can edit the labels of it from:
ACP -> MODULES -> SYSTEM CORE -> TOOLS -> USER MENU EDITOR -> Support Tickets -> MODIFY

Just to point out:
The Form Designer gets stuff into the datastore.
{jrCore_list} gets stuff out of the datastore.

You can add extra fields to any form using the Form Designer, but the input values of those will only be shown on the screen if you output them somewhere.

Can't add YouTube or Vimeo videos

Updated the vimeo module docs with the new access token step.

Adding "View All" links beside selected Lucid list module titles.

Paul asked for this to be added a while back, so the change was just sitting there. You asking for it triggered its need for release.

Thanks.

Profile Comments: Where should they show up?

Ning To Jamroom

If you wanted to show a list of the latest comments that were posted anywhere on the site, you could use Site Builder and the 'Item List' widget to get a list of the latest comments and put that somewhere on the top level of your site.

Adding "View All" links beside selected Lucid list module titles.

Design and Skin Customization

The simplest is to add the link to the title, then style it with CSS.

(update site builder to version 1.1.6)

Then add this as the widget title:

The best thing would be to create a class and put it in one of the css files in your skin. (if you've cloned the skin) that way you could use one class to style the way it looks and have it effect everywhere.

Otherwise, you can style each one individually, but it would suck to have to go update all of them if you wanted to change the way they look, so a class is better. but if you wanted to not use a CSS class.

Can't add YouTube or Vimeo videos

Using Jamroom

If you add a NEW private vimeo video does it also not get the artwork?

Editing Activity Timeline

Design and Skin Customization

Nice one.

PROBABLY.... the issue was the template active checkbox wasn't checked. Its an important step but often gets missed.

Glad you got it working though. Well done.

Working on "look & feel" & eager for suggestions.

@joanna, this is probably the doc you're after:

Docs: "Using the Compare tool to keep Cloned skins up-to-date"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/skin-customization/2394/using-the-compare-tool-to-keep-cloned-skins-up-to-date

There are a few different ways you can customize jamroom, one is using the template editor and adjusting things in the ACP

Docs: "Using the Template Editor"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-admin-handbook/3183/using-the-template-editor

If you use the template editor all your changes will be stored in the database. Doing it this way means you don't need any web development software on your PC to make changes and so will probably be the first way you make alterations to the look and feel of your site.

For me, I like the 'web development software on the pc' way of doing things, so I make changes with that and upload those changes to the filesystem in the /skins/ directory.

You get to choose. If you want to swap from the database way to the filesystem way, just clone the skin and all the changes will get moved from the database to the filesystem.
