Replacing image uploader

Jamroom Developers

The jrBlog uses the core image uploader, its not designed to be swap-out-able. It might be possible, but its not something we've done so don't have steps to explain it. I suspect it wont be possible without creating your own BLOG module instead.

How do I get an RSS feed onto a module?

Using Jamroom

if you're meaning "How do I get a module out to an RSS feed" the url is

http://thenewstalkers.com/feed/(the module)

eg:
http://thenewstalkers.com/feed/group
http://thenewstalkers.com/feed/gallery
http://thenewstalkers.com/feed/video
http://thenewstalkers.com/feed/blog

Adding Members To Groups Administratively?

Using Jamroom

If paul dusts off the group invite module, would you still need the group member add feature?

I can see it could be useful in some cases, but open to abuse if not done right. (Like adding people to mailing lists, grrrrrr I hate getting emails from automated systems with an 'unsubscribe' link when I KNOW I never 'subscribed' in the first place. Looking at YOU linkedin. )

Create a module using Aparna

Jamroom Developers

This is about the most detailed HowTo on creating a module with aparna that we have:

"HowTo: Form Designer + Aparna = Custom Page Module with RSS feed"

Which folder is this image located in?

Design and Skin Customization

You can upload a new version of it from the ACP at:
ACP -> CORE -> IMAGE CORE -> IMAGES -> default.png

How do I get an RSS feed onto a module?

Using Jamroom

Not meaning to be critical, sorry if it came across that way, the reason I need the 'Where' is because the HOW is different depending on where you want to put it.

So far I know where the RSS feed is because paul posted it above:
http://thenewstalkers.com/feed/discussion

If you wanted to put that on say this page:
http://thenewstalkers.com/

Then you would use that RSS feed url in the "Create / Update" too as described here:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/277/feed-reader-and-rss-feeder#import-rss-feeds-into-your-site

That would then give you the "Template Code" that you could use to display that feed.

Since http://thenewstalkers.com/ is the index.tpl file of your skin, you could put the feed code you just received in there, or if it was controlled by Site Builder then you could use the TEMPLATE CODE widget in site builder to get the code out to the page.

It looks like its already being out put on that page ( http://thenewstalkers.com/) under the title "Discussions Now on The NewsTalkers' Forums" though.

Who Is Online

Design and Skin Customization

That should be there by default. Its this code if you need to add it to your item_categories.tpl file or wherever:

I've sometimes wanted to see that too since I'm in Tokyo. Maybe in future.

Adding Members To Groups Administratively?

Using Jamroom

Kind of feels like you expect that I understand what it is your after, but I'm not totally getting it.

What would be easier would be if it was phrased as a suggestion of what you would like to see so that I could have a guide to building what you want rather than me building 'something' then getting feedback on that.

What I'm getting is:
* I want a way for the admin users to be able to add users to groups

As the admin user could you describe HOW you would like to do that? from the ACP? from the group itself?

What would be easiest.

--edit--
Looking at it now, it looks like a + button on the members page would be a good way to go about it.

That then leads to a "browse users" type screen with checkboxes that allows the group admin to add people to the groups.

Concerning issues:
* If I don't want to be added to a group, what happens then?

Say a new user creates a new group, adds everyone in the site to it, does that have any negative impact on them. Say the group is "People who like snakes" and everyone gets added, then it looks to anyone viewing the group members list that some people like snakes when they really might not.

Is this an issue....?
