Secret Codeword for Signup

Installation and Configuration

You could set the signup to pending so that admin has to approve all new signups by clicking the approve button. That system already exists.

How are you stuc at user_codeword. You should be able to save that then select how the form shows. Show it as a 'text' field and they can enter text.

There are docs on its use here:

"Using the Form Designer"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/1275/using-the-form-designer

and a walkthrough here:

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function

Using Jamroom

What he _might_ have done is to create a new site level page called 'videos' which has a seamless list on it, then added links to UPLOAD VIDEO | ADD YOUTUBE | ADD VIMEO to the top of that for logged in users that links to their upload page for each module.

just a guess though. @soaringeagle you around?

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function

Using Jamroom

If you can show me the page your talking about, I can analyse what might be going on. If this was for a section on the main site, its much easier.

One of the core premises is "Users upload to profiles, profiles feed content to site pages." So creating a new site level page would be the expected thing to do using seamless as the list creator. What your after is another section on the profile itself which is the domain of modules.......(more explanation about module separation of content goes stop here)

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function

Using Jamroom

Its not really a new module, more just a starting point for someone who wanted to build a module. That's why its xxCombinedVideos rather than jrCombinedVideos. Just a place to start.

Probably the {jrCore_list .... needs profile_id added to its search call to limit to the current profile. If you turn off the other videos from showing, the member wont be able to upload stuff. It is possible to disable module items from showing by using the exclude_modules="" in the {jrProfile_menu.... call in the skins header templates.

"{jrProfile_menu}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1997/jrprofile-menu

Haven't come up with a good path for the route to go for one location for uploading as it would break all the rules that modules currently follow. Best idea so far is a "wizzard" type setup to click "add new item" then it directs you to the correct item create page for video, vimeo, youtube.

Ning Custom Design to Jamroom

Design and Skin Customization

Can it be replicated, absolutely, not a problem. Is there someone available to do the work, not sure. Trying real hard to get the word out to #freelance #webdev's that we need more Jamroom developers porting existing designs to Jamroom.

If you have a twitter account, please re-tweet @jamroomdev's pleas for more freelancers to come help out the Jamroom community.

It's not such a difficult task to port a design to a skin, but it does take a bit to understand the system. That's why we put together 2 courses to help people new to Jamroom:

"Start your own online community" (free course)
https://www.udemy.com/start-your-own-online-community/

and one for developers:

"Developers guide to customizing Jamroom" ($29 but free for subscribers)
https://www.udemy.com/developers-guide-to-customizing-jamroom

(you can get the free promo code from here: https://www.jamroom.net/backstage/forum/resources/3112/100-off-coupon-for-developers-guide-to-customizing-jamroom-udemycom-course )

So yes its possible, just need to find someone to do the work. The design of www.todaysgirls.com is a real nice design.

Other freelance jobs are posted here:
https://www.jamroom.net/job/open

You can post it there too as thats where I'm trying to direct freelancers to look right now. Just add it to the JOBS tab on your profile (if you're a subscriber.)

Question on setting 'banned' IP addresses

Using Jamroom

All they get to see is one page and it looks like this:

Batch Edit - 1 Suggestion

Ning To Jamroom

Great news. Thanks.

GROUP search to include group discussions code...?

Ning To Jamroom

Currently the search box on the index.tpl page for groups uses:

This is at:
site.com/groups

Is that the location your thinking about?

GROUP search to include group discussions code...?

Ning To Jamroom


When we added search to the index.tpl files of all the modules, the code used was:

Thats from the blog index.tpl file:
/modules/jrBlog/templates/index.tpl

(or coming via the ACP template editor)
ACP -> PROFILES -> BLOG -> TEMPLATES -> index.tpl

You can see that working here:
https://www.jamroom.net/blog/

The search box only searches for the fields listed. You can use the fields you need.

-- edit --
Not sure if its obvious or not, so..... to change that to what your after, you would locate the fields you're interested in in the datastore, (every module has a datastore browser in the TOOLS tab of the ACP)

They will probably be (I haven't got groups data in my dev machine right now) group_title and group_discuss so:

Question on setting 'banned' IP addresses

Using Jamroom

It works like this:
* Whatever you put in there will be checked against the first part of the string.

So don't do what I just did and put '1' in there because it will ban everyone including you.

To recover if you are locked out of jamroom....... ....... Go to the servers database interface and remove your self from the banned list.

So it will check for the first part of the string vs the ip address.

If you put:
123. it will block every ipaddress that starts like that. Using a dot is fine either way. The dot is checked for too.

Addresses to be careful of not blocking:
127.0 (anything here) is the local address, its what the server uses to talk to itself, don't block that.
192.168 (anything here) seams to be the normal address when your computer is on a network, don't block that.
