Allowing All Users to Post to the General Blog


Using Jamroom

Need a small shift in thinking.

Right now your thinking you want a profile that all members can add to the blog. Instead approach it from the perspective of "I want a single location where all blog posts can be seen" and what you're after becomes real easy.

This doc has some useful info related to levels:

"concepts the admin user needs to know"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/2167/concepts-the-admin-user-needs-to-know

So instead of trying to put 'everybodies blog on one profile' create 'a location that shows everybodies blogs'

Example:
https://www.jamroom.net/blog

It can be done easily at site level using either {jrCore_list module="jrBlog"} or with Site builder

"{jrCore_list}"

Google ads to Jamroom skin


Design and Skin Customization

You probably want to alter the skins template, maybe header.tpl or footer.tpl but it really depends on where you want the ads to display.

"Using the Template Editor"

And since its javascript, make sure you read this:

CSS Being Stripped


Using Jamroom

I see it differently logged in vs logged out.

Looking for why now, thanks.

--edit--
I can see WHAT is happening, all the non-pure css stuff is getting removed.

So:
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF, #E0E0E0);
is getting removed. That CSS only targets certain browsers.

Not sure about WHY yet.

michaelcawood:
Yes... is there a way to work around that, fixing Youtube but not changing Vimeo links?

yes, do what I said above in the ---edit--- section:

Share this position question


Using Jamroom

Or another way might be to change the item_detail.tpl page of the module your interested in

It probably has something like this in that template
    {if jrGroup_member_has_access($item)}
        {* bring in the item details *}
        {jrCore_item_detail_features module="jrGroupDiscuss" item=$item}
    {/if}
at the bottom that brings in the sharethis fuctionality from the module.

leave the module enabled and add this to the top of that file:
{jrShareThis module="jrGroupDiscuss" item_id=$item._item_id}

thats for the jrGroupDiscuss module, adjust for whichever module template your altering. :)

Using Jamroom

There are many ways to do things, you have an idea that would probably work but haven't yet tried it so it reads like a how do I do this question. Derrickhand300 has provided an alternative way that's also valid.

I reckon the solution closest to what you were thinking of trying is:
* yes, do disable the sharethis module.
* add their code at the top of maybe the profile_item_detail.tpl page

That would get it out on all profile details pages.

derrickhand300 idea of adding ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ is a good one, I use that too. It allows you to see where something is coming out before trying to add in more complex code so you know your in the right place.

Removing Black Bars from Youtube Thumbnails

Yep, that introduced a new bug, go with the other option:

Grid of Videos


Design and Skin Customization

Think I see what the issue is. You've probably used the replace system from the other thread to replace:
0|mqdefault.jpg

which is taking the correct vimeo url:
http://i.vimeocdn.com/video/526215158_640.jpg
and replacing the 0.jpg and making it 'mqdefault.jpg'
http://i.vimeocdn.com/video/526215158_64mqdefault.jpg

Great, next.

Whats up with vimeo?

I can see that your vimeo links for the image point to:
http://i.vimeocdn.com/video/274757282_64mqdefault.jpg

Which is 404 page not found. which makes sense because mqdefault is a youtube thing, looks like you've stuck that on the vimeo url, take it off and it should clear up because this image shows:
http://i.vimeocdn.com/video/274757282_64

But its real small and it has bars on it. Need to figure out what the correct url is. probably the easiest way is to go to a location that is showing the vimeo image correctly and see what its url looks like.
