Shifted profile from one quota to another and it disappeared

Using Jamroom

Its been fixed in the next version of the profile module.

The assumption in the saving mechanism was that every profile would have a profile_name coming in, so it wasn't checked for. The incoming profile_name is used to create the profile_url so that is what your seeing.

What was happening was that since the profile name was empty, the profile url also became empty, empty translated to no url, so it was redirecting to the top page.

Correct, for the Form Designer "display groups" the selections you choose are the people or profiles those settings will display for.

eg:
* profile "indexing" is owned by @someuser who is a 'Master Admin'. The "indexing" profile is in the "Quota A" quota.

If the 'display group' has (quota) Quota A selected, then the form field will show.
If the 'display group' has (group) Master Admin selected, then the form field will show.

Slow hosting sucks.

I use a local machine for my dev stuff, then upload it to production when its finished.

Nothing worse than being in a good productive flow and have your zone broken out of because you have to wait for something beyond your control. Hate that.

There's some real cool stuff in Jamroom 5 that makes dealing with the database pretty simple.

The biggest new thing is called a "datastore"

"Datastores"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1023/datastores

They're pretty cool in that you don't need to decide on a table structure for your data if you use them.

With flat tables you have:
mod_id | mod_time ........ | mod_??????

Then the values all fixed, but with datastores, its more like an associative array in that you can add more and more stuff to it without needing to change the structure of the database.

Its all geared toward inter-communication between modules, that also allows the end user to extend.

eg: the jrAudio module stores information about an audio file. The jrTag module extends the jrAudio module by allowing users to add tags to audio items. jrAudio doesn't need to know whether jrTag exists or not because jrTag extends jrAudio by adding to its datastore.

Also check out the Form Designer which allows the end user to customize the forms for their own needs.

If you use jamroom's way of creating forms, then they can be extended by the end user too.

Shifted profile from one quota to another and it disappeared

Using Jamroom

Ok, found the reason. The profile_url is set off of the "Profile Name" but you've set the Profile Name to only be visible to users in the quota "(quota) Central Administration".

Since the profile 'indexing' is not in that group, it means it doesn't have a profile name. If it doesn't have a profile name, it doesn't have a URL.

I think I'm understanding what your thinking:
My guess is that you think the by setting the "Display Groups" to "(quota) Central Administration" that users who have a profile also in Central Administration will see that form field for THIS profile (indexing) which is in another quota.

So then the admin users could come along and update it because they also own a profile in the Central Administration quota. That's what my guess is.

If my guess is correct: then, no, thats not how it works. the 'Indexing' profile is in the "Indexing Hub" quota. So if you want any form fields to show FOR EVERYONE when they visit the profile editing page, you need to allow those fields in the Form Designer.

The exception is to use the (group) settings. They are user settings, not (quota) settings.

In either case though, if the profile name is gone the url is going to be cleared out. Which is not good.
