future feature request ninglike (but better) chat module

Ning To Jamroom


Not sure sorry. Their price options are here:
https://www.cometchat.com/buy

Looks like $49 if you keep "cometchat" showing, or $129 to hide that. Didn't see any mention of where the chat is located, your server or theirs. I suspect it would be yours or they would need to charge monthly to run the server.

galery grid minor issue

Ning To Jamroom

What is the template code your using to display the image. You could set the scale to 'square' to make it square
on the image to force it to that aspect ratio if you wanted.

--
Looking at your site, it looks like you've already figured that out.

User Profile Image

Ning To Jamroom

Yeah, I had to go looking for that one myself. It is where it is because its that module that is responsible for delivering it when there is no image provided.

Its always a scale with something on the left and something on the right. In this case its balance between 'modularization of the modules' vs 'expected location of setting'

Jamroom tries real hard to be very modularized so it doesn't get locked into being for a specific thing. (means sometimes its a little confusing.)

ratings for other items

Ning To Jamroom

The html rating is a dropdown select option with 1 to 5 instead of the pictures of stars. Its main purpose is to allow the developer to be able to style that section themselves if they don't want pictures of stars.

Remove alternative Quotas on Sign up

Ning To Jamroom


If you look at the "Quota Browser" under:
ACP -> USER PROFILES -> TOOLS -> QUOTA BROWSER
( yoursite.com/profile/quota_browser )

You will see which quotas allow signups and which don't.

Click the green dot on the "Admin Quota" to be taken to the screen to adjust its settings. uncheck the box that reads "Allow Signups" then save.

Language and Menu links

Ning To Jamroom

12 is Discuss
19 is Discussions
26 is Discussions

19 is in the header_menu_desktop.tpl file so its coming out in the menu bar when the forum module is active. Its also used in profile_index_discussion.tpl as the title for the page.

26 is used in index.tpl in the discussions section on the front page and also in the activity timeline.

I suspect its an oversight that its been entered twice, or originally there were different text strings for those locations that got changed to be the same string.

domain mapped to profile?

Ning To Jamroom

Totally agree with this. Pointing out how the start should be and watching it get tweaked a good place to be at.

Once that's finalized, know that you can change whatever you want if necessary.

how to accomplish these

Ning To Jamroom


Sorry I should have answered this sooner to avoid communication difficulties. Thanks for trying to answer SE.

so ... Admin is a user level setting while quota is a group of resources allocated. Nobody can signup as an admin user.

Admin is a user level setting, not a profile level one. Quotas are applied to profiles.

So the admin (or any user) could be associated with more than one profile.

eg: user: michael (me ) is connected to /michael and to /ning-to-jamroom profiles. On /ning-to-jamroom there is a forum. That is because the quota that /ning-to-jamroom is in allows forums. /michael is in a different quota and does not have a forum.

one user, many profiles. Its the user 'michael' that is the admin user not the profile /michael

Did you ever get to see this page?

"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

Its related to this but with diagrams.

If you look at the "Quota Browser" under:
ACP -> USER PROFILES -> TOOLS -> QUOTA BROWSER
( yoursite.com/profile/quota_browser )

You will see which quotas allow signups and which dont.

minor confusion about ecommerce module relationships

Ning To Jamroom

Yes, store items price field is added by the jrFoxyCart module.

The "Merchandise Store" (jrStore) will not work without jrFoxyCart. If you try to activate just the Merchandise store, you will see a message like "Requires Foxycart module" when you activate it.

Bundles are just a group of things that are for sale that the end user can purchase in one go, you should have no issues bundling whatever you like together.

Ideas on how to build a system to construct a template without code

Using Jamroom

Half the point of the Site Builder system is to make alterations available to those who find looking at code to be a scary thing.

So I need ideas as to how to open the power of templates to them.

Right now you can call a list of stuff with:
and it will get a list of audio files in the system. I have this part working.

What I'm looking for ideas on is: When the user who asked to make the list doesn't like the way the output arrives.

The solution is:
and you can make it look like whatever you like BUT...... you need to look at code to make customized_template.tpl

Need other ideas. The only one I have right now is dragging the available components around in an absolutely positioned box, but thats going to play havoc with the flexible nature of the skins.

Other suggestions please.
