Using Jamroom

not impossible. Wondering if all the extra bits would get used. Most perplexed by how to make the interface. Got any examples/suggestions of a good system.

Site Builder Download


Off Topic

gary.moncrieff:...Slightly off topic, but will the provision be made, or is it available, to take the slate skin, clone it, redesign it, ship it and have quick built in support for site builder in premium themes?

Please do.

If you would like to help out during the beta period it would be appreciated.

Here's the Site Builder specific forum:

advanced tip give your members style control of thier profiles!

One of the most useful functions when things aren't going as expected is {debug}

"{debug}"
http://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1477/debug


In your code above, you asking the templates
 {if isset($profile_z)}cover-z{/if}
to check that $profile_z is set. And if it is set then to add that class 'cover-z' to the list of classes.

The key is that not all variable names are the same in all templates. So if you throw a {debug} in the template where you want to use it (then do the usual clear the caches, then refresh the page) you will be able to see all the variable names that are available to you in that location.

So what you want to do is just check that all the variable names are as you want them to be for the check.

my list of things ning migrators will mkiss

Yeah,there are a few ways to handle it. The one above can be done on any skin. Or the skin designer can build it into the skin that is intended for Ning users when its built if its known what should go into that section.

Another way to do it would be to build something like a "Profile Dashboard" module that allowed the profile user to setup that kind of stuff via an interface.

So there are a few ways to accomplish it.

Cheers Ken. Yep, I did mid-interpret. Sure its possible.

The file your after is:
/skins/(YOUR SKIN)/profile_index.tpl

In the elastic skin it looks like this:
{* default index for profile *}

<div class="col9 last">
    {jrCore_include module="jrAction" template="item_index.tpl"}
</div>

Which is just saying "Show the latest actions on the main page".

But there is no reason you cant add a bit of each of whatever you want in there. You could add whatever you want. Perhaps:
* show 3 of the latest videos
* show 3 of the newest blog posts
* show 5 of the latest forum comments
.....

Whatever you want. Check out the jrCore_list function docs for info on how to get a list of whatever:

"{jrCore_list}"
http://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/89/jrcore-list

Then perhaps wrap it a check to make sure the module your after is active. eg: a list of this profiles videos:
{jrCore_list module="jrVideo" show="3" search="_profile_id = $_profile_id"}

I used the profile_id in there because you would only want to show videos belonging to this profile in that list.

Strumelia:....One small but nice detail on my Ning network, over the entire site:
-whenever you see a member's name, (which is a hotlink to their profile page) and if their avatar picture is next to it...

This is a template issue and easily customized. If the image is not there by default in a location, you can add it there by customizing the template for wherever you want it. Was there a specific location you had in mind?
