Are notifications unique to a profile or an account?


Jamroom Developers

DannyA:...is there an event we can call to modify the notification functionality to our needs without breaking notifications for other modules?...

There is the 'notify_user' event inside the jrUser_notify function.

That's probably the one you want.

jr Embed Feature Request


Suggestions

Ken_Rich:
I don't have any idea how easy or hard this would be to implement, but instead of a global control, it sure would be swell if the user could select either their own content, or everyone's, to be listed.

Then on a big site with lot's of content, he could bring up only his own stuff to browse through - default. If the post is not about himself, he could check a box in the tools pop out screen, to search for everyone's.

That switch is available now to the admin. Its in the GLOBAL CONFIG tab of in the ACP.

ACP -> TINYMCE EMBED BUTTON -> GLOBAL CONFIG -> Profile Media Only (on by default)
Quote: If this option is checked, then only media from the active profile will show in the TinyMCE Embed popup. If unchecked, then all media system wide (that is not private) will be available
Default: on

regardless of that setting any user can embed anything, there just isn't the search functionality. if you want to embed audio_id 11 and its yours the code is:
[jrEmbed module="jrAudio" id="11"]

The same code will work even if audio_id 11 is someone elses. So the suggestion becomes "Make it possible to expand the content to also be able to browse other peoples stuff."

Thanks.

Menu


Using Jamroom

I've got a bunch of widgets, but am re-thinking how they should work. My current thinking is to move their functionality into jrEmbed structure instead so the functionality can be used in more locations.

Module Relationships and Question about counting number entries in multiple fields.


Using Jamroom

I've added a couple of sections to this docs page:

"Somethings wrong, what do i do?"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/problems/114/somethings-wrong-what-do-i-do

Try the repair.php method followed by the FTP cache clearing. That should get you going again.

include a jrCore_list on another site


Using Jamroom

not sure what your asking.

jrCore_list is a jamroom function, so its only going to work on a jamroom site.

If you're wanting to add a list of your sites stuff on another site, the normal way would be in an iframe on the other site i guess. Or via RSS feed to the other site.

You can make a list of anything by adding a new template.

add:
/skins/YOUR-SKIN/fuzzy_wombat.tpl to your skins and whatever you put there will show up at:

your-site.com/fuzzy_wombat

so you could put a jrCore_list in that page and style it how you want.

SignUP FORM on front/index page?


Design and Skin Customization

the LOGIN form can be added to any page with this code:
http://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/howto/603/howto-add-the-user-login-form-to-any-page

but the SIGNUP form....I've never tried to add that to any other location.

If you want to give it a try, we can help out with issues if you get stuck. Currently there is no howto on how to do it though.

bug report


Ning To Jamroom

To determine where the problem is you need to be able to output something there.

When you figure out which template needs altering, type THIS IS WHERE I AM in that template, and refresh the caches.

if "THIS IS WHERE I AM" comes out successfully where you expect it then you know you are editing the correct location.

Your problem on this page: greentechnologyforums.com/demo-noz

is that all of the links point to /soaringeagle

* soaringeagle
* Vince Hardwick
* Ashanta Wilson
* Amy Jo
* Jacqueline Grice
* no war!
* Punanamous

I can't think of any other location other than either the file or the template over-ride to change that link.

Try checking again. Especially in the ACP because if the file isn't changed, then thats the most likely location that has been altered. If its not that it will need further investigation.

Page Layout


Using Jamroom

I've always been a FireFox fan because of the dev tools it has. I've always dis-liked IE because ever version seams to be totally different from the surrounding versions. Its like its not 1 browser but many different ones.

Menu


Using Jamroom

gary.moncrieff:...the menu doesn't stay highlighted when active even with the new version....

It should, the highlighting is only a check to see if the location matches the location of the link, if it does, it highlights.

So cases where you have the menu link in a secondary level of the menu, then nothing will be highlighted because its hidden.

If you can give me an example of what your after, I can try to get it incorporated.

Menu


Using Jamroom

gary.moncrieff:
Not sure I am using this correctly.

I discovered it's quite easy to add a panel area to any existing template, however doing this means the menu doesn't stay highlighted when active even with the new version.

I envision that supplying templates with panel area will be the best way to provide additional skins based on this.

The Menu module and the Panel module are not connected, they just work well together.

Sure you can add a panel to an existing location. I would expect that it would increase your support requests when users ask to be able to alter that area.

---
There is no 'correctly' there is only 'currently', how do you want it to work.

Here's what I envisioned and my thoughts going forward.

What I expected skin developers would want to do would be to create a layout by using the system. They would build their site the way they wanted it by creating custom templates and putting them in the /skin/( jrSlate renamed )/* folder and linking to them from the "template" section of the widget.

Once the system was as they wanted it, they would EXPORT the panel structure via:
SITE BUILDER -> PANELS -> TOOLS -> EXPORT

and package that with the skin. When the skin was activated that structure would be IMPORTed to give what the skin designer imagined to the next person.

So a skin designer in the case of the SITE BUILDER system would be creating the extra template options for the widgets.
