JR Embed and Iframe control

Using Jamroom

Try updating the embed module now.

The issue was youtube was being embedded before the iframe module had run, so there was an iframe for the iframe module to find.

I've lowered the priority of the embed module so it runs after the iframe module has run.

JR Embed and Iframe control

Using Jamroom

Seams like a conflict between the iframe module and the embed/youtube combo.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

-- edit --
To reproduce: enable the iframe module then login as a user, not the admin user. use jrembed to embed a youtube video in a profile page, eg blog.

Expected result:
Youtube will show.

Actual result:
an orange notice shows with "this iframe is not allowed" in place instead.

An 'Heads Up'

Ning To Jamroom


Nope, that's not the section you want. That's for the dropdown menu under the users profile name. (see screenshot)

If you wanted to add another page next to say "Images" in the top row of links, then that is done in the
ACP -> SKINS -> NINGJA -> TEMPLATES -> header_menu_desktop.tpl -> MODIFY

Around line 123 ish you'll see this code:
That reads "If the jrGallery module is active, include this link in the header to the gallery page."

You could add another link in there after that like this

and that would add a link to:
http://contemporarymosaicart.com/elephants

But I know you don't like messing around with code. We're trying to get the Site Builder system up and running so you won't need to do this. What was the other link you wanted for?

Background header graphics, where do you get them from?

Ning To Jamroom

Thanks @bree, I wanted something reasonably decent to package along with the slate skin as a default place holder that the users can upload their own ones over top of.

repeating background images are available here:
http://bgrepeat.com/

but I couldn't locate a similar site for header images.

Would it be too much trouble to ask you ( or anyone with some design sense, mine is very limited ) to make a header background and pick out one of those bgrepeat images that work well together?

currently I have the skin updated so when you check some checkboxes in the skin config that your header and your background get turned on. I want to replace those with some default ones to get it out to everyone.

cheers.

Questions about sign ups to my site by others

Installation and Configuration


Nice question.

check the email address. if the email came back then there was either an issue with your server not being able to send emails or an issue with the other server not being able to receive emails.

There is a "Test Email" tab in the ACP under:
ACP -> COMMUNICATION -> EMAIL SUPPORT -> TEST EMAIL.
( YOUR-SITE.com/mailer/test_email )

Also make sure there are no red-lights on in the "System Check" page:
ACP-> CORE -> SYSTEM CORE -> TOOLS -> SYSTEM CHECK
( YOUR-SITE.com/core/system_check )

To locate where a problem is, the first places to look are "Activity Log", "Debug Log" and "PHP Error Log"
ACP -> CORE -> SYSTEM CORE -> TOOLS -> ACTIVITY LOG
ACP -> CORE -> SYSTEM CORE -> TOOLS -> DEBUG LOG
ACP -> CORE -> SYSTEM CORE -> TOOLS -> PHP ERROR LOG

If a user signs up with an email address that they can not access then they will not be able to sign in to their account. They need to use a valid email address.

If the admin user wants to approve their account anyhow, it is possible from the "Pending Users" tab on the dashboard screen:
YOUR-SITE.com/core/dashboard/pending_users

(there should be a link here from your top menu in the skin your using.)

The user would check their email and look for an email coming from your site. Inside that welcome email is a link to activate their profile. After clicking that link their account will be active and they can login using the credentials they provided at signup.

It is possible to set administrator approval on user signups.
ACP -> USERS -> USER ACCOUNTS -> QUOTA CONFIG -> "Signup Method"

there are 3 settings:
Instant Validation - The new user account and profile are activated on signup.
Email Validation - An activation email is sent on signup to activate the new account.
Admin Validation - (as outlined above, use the PENDING USERS tab.)

How do you get a hold of customer service?

Just not much description and information on the marketplace offerings...so why blindly spend money?

If you want more information on how a module works you can ask in the forums. Direct questions usually seam to get a better response rate so something like "How does the xxxxxx module work? does it have xxx?" will usually elicit a link to a demo or screenshots. And if it doesn't work that way then you'll probably be directed to ask for it as a feature request in the "suggestions" area.

So discontented NING user here and questions I have about Jamroom

Using Jamroom

There is a paid support option if you want private support rather than the community support of these forums and the ning-to-jamroom forums.

The option for that can be found here:
https://www.jamroom.net/subscribe

You wont get better support than you do in the forums though, just private. So I'd recommend not getting it and rather outlining the issue as best you can in a way that allows others to help you out.

Right now the title of this thread is "So discontented NING user here and questions I have about Jamroom"

It would be better for you to open a new thread with a title like "Verification process not working when adding a profile"

Then outline the steps that you have taken to get to that point so someone can follow along and try it out on their own system. That way they can either confirm the issue as a bug or show you whats going wrong.

It depends on the method you choose to use to alter your skins.

Optional Methods to Alter Skins:
#1) Download the .tpl files of your skin and alter them on your pc with a development tool like dreamweaver, phpstorm, or a text editor. Then re-upload your altered template to your site.

#2) Use the built in editor in the ACP of your site to change the code via the TEMPLATES tab.


If you are using the first method, #1, then you would use a version control system to keep track of changes to the code. The teams preference for a version control system is GIT but you could use whatever you liked.

If you are using the second method, #2, then you would alter the templates to get them how you like them then when an update comes in you could use the COMPARE button to compare how your changes line up with the new updates, then just add in the changes you want.
