Editing Activity Timeline

Design and Skin Customization

Throw a {debug} OUTSIDE the foreach loop in the remove_activity.tpl file and see if any blog posts are contained in the $_items array.

Need to figure out if the blog posts are:
* not getting included in the requested results OR
* included but not getting displayed on the page OR
* not getting saved to the activity timeline datastore.

My guess is #2.

PayPal Buy It Now

Installation and Configuration

The thread title reads "PayPal Buy It Now" but the first sentence reads "I would like like to set up FoxyCart". Its unclear what you are asking. Without clear questions you are unlikely to get clear answers.

Foxycart is one module, its docs are here:

Docs: "Setting up Foxycart"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/2/foxycart-ecommerce-setting-up-foxycart

Paypal is another module, its docs are here:

Docs: "Paypal Buy it now"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/1987/paypal-buy-it-now

The "Paypal Buy it now" module was created because some sites were not selling enough to cover the monthly cost of the Foxycart module. Foxycart is the better module, it can sell subscriptions and allows accepting many more payment gateways (including Paypal).

How do I remove Follow from my Community profile?

Using Jamroom

Its found in the profile_header.tpl file in the jrNingja skin, so to alter it:
ACP -> SKINS -> NINGJA -> TEMPLATES -> profile_header.tpl -> MODIFY

The button code is on line 13 ish and looks like this:

So if you wrap that in a template block you can show it to just who you want to show it to.

Docs: "Template Blocks"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-developers-guide/3126/template-blocks

I believe you have your community in its own separate quota, so maybe a quota block that checks which quota it is before showing the button.

In .tpl files you can add {debug} to figure out what variables are available on the page.

Docs: "{debug}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-developers-guide/1477/debug

For you, you need to figure out which quota_id the 'community' profile is in and exclude all profiles with that quota_id from having the button. (or you could use the specific profile_id if you JUST wanted that profile only)

Suggested code:
which reads "If the profile quota id is not 3 then show the FOLLOW button.". But you will need to make sure that it is quota id 3 that is the one you want to exclude of course. If 'community' is in quota 2, then change the 3 to a 2.

Ning Endangered?

Off Topic

That rings true to me. Where I see a systematic problem is the expectations it generates. Venture capitalists put in millions of dollars, then give away the product for unrealistic prices with the expectation that that will increase user adoption. Which it does, everyone loves something for nothing. Then they expect to be able to monetize it later on to recover their losses taken in the initial period.

In Ning's case that seams to be what is happening, they've been using Venture capital to subsidize community creation, monetizing it hasn't worked, now their trying to back out of that idea to a non-money-loosing one and that's generated the current mess.

Ning Endangered?

Off Topic

Nice insight Jimmy.

There seams like space for alternative networks to exist though. Facebook has a 'connection via people you know' setup, but for a lot of the time, I don't care that my friends aren't into what I'm into, but just want updates on what it is I'm interested in even if it doesn't come from someone I know.

How do I get Site Builder to display Forum topics, not forum posts?

Using Jamroom

Try this one then

* LIST MODULE: Forum
* SEARCH CONDITION 1: forum_post_count | is greater than | 0
* ORDER BY: forum_updated | descending

Two-word tags are displaying incorrectly in Tag Cloud

Using Jamroom

There is a new version 1.4.0 in the marketplace now, update from your ACP to get the most recent version.
ACP -> MODULES -> CORE -> MARKETPLACE -> SYSTEM UPDATE

Two-word tags are displaying incorrectly in Tag Cloud

Using Jamroom

You're doing nothing wrong. Its a bug in the current version of the tag module that crept in when it was adjusted to make it work with foreign language characters.

Then next version of the TAGS module will fix it. We'll get that out shortly.

Is it possible in Site Builder how do I show the latest images posted OR commented on?

Using Jamroom

The way the {jrCore_list} function works is it retrieves information stored in the modules datastore. One limit it has is that it needs you to select which datastore to retrieve the information from.

Images are stored in the Gallery datastore, while comments are stored in the Comments datastore. This makes it difficult to combine them into a single search.

From memory, I can remember setting up a system which listened for new comments being added to a datastore item and updated the _updated key for that item.

That again as an example to illustrate the concept: When a new comment gets added to a gallery image item, that gallery image item has its _updated time updated.

So its possible to do, but suspect it would require a module to behave like that. Easier would be to have 2 lists. "Latest images" and "Latest Comments"

Another option is to look at the "Item List (combined)" Site Builder widget provided by the "Seamless" module, then order by _updated on the Gallery and Comment modules. That would provide a list ordered by updated time, but would show a gallery image when it was a gallery, or a comment list item when it was a comment.

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

Using Jamroom

Try setting it to 1 to see what happens. It should limit it to only show 1 tag. If it doesn't my suspicions go to the cache to start with.

Try
ACP -> MODULES -> CORE -> SYSTEM CORE -> TOOLS -> RESET CACHE

to see if that makes a difference.
