Installation and Configuration

:) glad you got it sorted. When you have many quotas comparing what they are set to can be difficult, which is why the "Quota Compare" tool was created:

You can find that "Quota Compare" tool at:
ACP -> MODULES -> PROFILES -> PROFILES -> TOOLS -> QUOTA COMPARE
your-site.com/profile/quota_compare

Can I modify multiple data records at once, in this case image data that I messed up while trying to modify a form?


Using Jamroom

LesRinchen:....For example, I wasn't sure if it would be okay for images to go into a gallery called "Gallery Images" while the existing images brought over from Ning are in galleries named with the profile name.....

True, this isn't the ideal situation. Usually the "Group By Gallery" would be set to be off, then profiles would start adding stuff to their galleries and there would be no point where multiple galleries would be created.

If that was the setup I was after I would change all the users galleries in that quota to be "Gallery Images" so there was only 1 gallery. Probably use the "Batch Item Editor" and update the gallery_title field.

I see you have a different thread for the activity log issue, I'll reply to that.

Using Jamroom

Looks like someone's thought about this before me, in the changelog.txt im seeing:
Version 1.4.0:
 - New: "Group by Gallery" Quota Config to change profile index page layout for gallery images
 - Change: Gallery Title is now optional and can be hidden in Form Designer

The gallery title is allowed to be turned off exactly for the purpose you are thinking about.

The + button adds new images to the gallery. Even thought the TITLE is not visible, a title is assigned, all the images go into a gallery called "Gallery Images"

So Im now wondering why it didn't work as expected for you.
* uncheck "Group by Gallery" from the QUOTA CONFIG
* use the Form Designer to hide the Gallery Title.

Should have been all that was necessary.

Tag cloud widget is only displaying 9 tags even though the limit is 30


Using Jamroom

The construction script that builds the cloud is this one:
https://github.com/lucaong/jQCloud

If it doesn't have enough space to fit all the words in the space provided its solution is to only fit in what will fit, so if you have "an exceptionally long tag that would extend passed the borders of the box" it won't show up in the cloud.

Using Jamroom

Since there is only one gallery when "Group by Gallery" is unchecked, all the images go into that single gallery. There are no individual galleries.

What I will look into is hiding the "Gallery Title" field when that is unchecked. Its not needed.

List of blog posts


Design and Skin Customization

Hi Joanna, no question is silly, ask away.

Sure it is possible, there is very little that isn't possible, but there are often many ways to do the same thing which can be quite confusing at first.

You're wanting a list of something, so you're probably interested in either a template function to do that: {jrCore_list}

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

OR an interface way to access that, which is the "Site Builder" "Item List" widget.

Docs: Site Builder -> Table of Contents
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/site-builder

Docs: " Site Builder ยป Adding a new Widget : Widget: Item List"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/site-builder/2647/adding-a-new-widget#widget-item-list

Either of those will give you a list of blog posts. Since you're wanting to adjust the structure of what gets output by the results of the list, then you're wanting a custom template.

You can add a custom template to either of the methods above, by adding a template="some-template.tpl" addition to the request.

Here's the easiest way to do it for you I'm guessing:

WIDGET: Item list
LIST MODULE: blog
TEMPLATE: custom

Click the "click to load default template" link beneath "Custom Template". That will load the default version of the list template. Then scroll down until you find line 41 which reads:
 {$item.blog_text|jrBlog_readmore|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id}
delete that and click SAVE CHANGES.

Deleting that line will only effect this specific widget. All you're doing is deleting the body of the blog from being displayed in this list and keeping everything else the same.

You can open up that widget again and fiddle with the layout until you get it exactly as you like it.

If this box does not show on their profile settings screen, then they are not in a quota that allows selling things via the "Paypal Buy it Now" module. Check the quota that profile is in against the setting of the QUOTA CONFIG on the "Paypal Buy it Now" module.

How do I lock a topic?


Using Jamroom

We can work on building new stuff, or documenting what exists. Building stuff is more fun. :)

I've added the lock or pin to the forum modules docs:

Docs: "Forum : Lock or Pin a topic"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/279/forum#lock-or-pin-a-forum-topic

There is some help text on the buttons themselves on the form, but I guess that doesn't help if you don't know where it is to read it.

Been trying to get the docs more complete. I know there is need for a section focused more toward using jamroom from a users perspective, so will try to get that done too.

The docs have been going up in a : whats getting asked for in the forums? => write a doc about that so its there for next time. flow.

Using Jamroom

Suspect the issue is a space one. If you give the tag cloud on your Site Builder page the full width of the page to breathe in I reckon its going to look the same as the one at site.com/tags

Could you try that please.

Using Jamroom

suspect your goal is to not allow your members to create different galleries, but to force them to only have one single location to upload all their photos.

If that is the goal, uncheck the "Group By Galleries" checkbox at:
ACP -> MODULES -> PROFILES -> GALLERY IMAGES -> QUOTA CONFIG -> Group by Gallery

That will make the list of galleries that show up on the same page.

I've never thought to turn off the gallery_title, I'll do some testing to see what issues it causes. Suspect it might require an update to the module to account for this setup though.
