Creating profiles in advance

Jamroom Developers

First thing, this would almost certainly be another standalone module (xtClaimableProfile), not a signup page template.

Not well thought out:

1. The profile was created with that email address, so search for that email address field in the db, when you get a match, that's the profile being claimed. I guess there will be a lot more to do if the email address already belongs to a user on the system (so its another profile for them to claim/decline). Store the email as a profile field and check for that? Or link the unclaimed profile to the user with that email address and leave it unactivated until they claim it - I bet that is going to get complicated very quickly.

2. You will have sent a verification code to the email address (a custom verification code, probably not jsut the signup one) , they click on the link in the email and the profile is activated. You can check in a signup listener for a profile marked as "temporary", and show that user a form which they need to fill out before they can access their profile.

But I would have thought you'd already know the artist name - you will have the name of the artist (I'm thinking the creator of an unlicensed track in a mix), some track and publisher data, and then maybe their email address. Regardless, you could make a Profile Name field a required field on your "claim profile"/"activate existing profile" form - then they can't claim the profile without specifying the profile name.
If you are just activating the profile (from the link in the email), you could check if it's the first login (not sure if that can be checked for , but you could create a custom field in the signup activation listener) and then show the required profile name field in the login form only if it is the first login.

Troubleshooting Oneall feeds

Isn't the App OneAll? They must have had that approved already?

Creating profiles in advance

My first thought is that if you have created the "temporary" profile, you might be better off directing the user to a different signup form specifically made to "claim" that temporary profile.

I'm assuming that the profile is listed to users on your system, ie not invisible until claimed.

If you don't need the profile to be listed, you could just create it when the invite is made and send the verification email and password to the email address. It will become active when the new user first logs in.

Private sharing

Using Jamroom

Danny, if by "sharing" you mean allow access to the song, your developer would probably want to look at adding a listener into your Groups module to remove songs from the search if the user is not in the group.

Another listener in the groups module would add a form field to the song create form to allow the creator to choose to share with the group or all. If you want them to be able to choose a number of groups to share with, model that form field on the "add to group" form field already in the module.

Profiles created using OneAll

Using Jamroom


What I meant was: maybe it isn't listing because there is nothing at all to list (apart from a profile pic).

That was the obvious thing which was different to the other two profiles, they both had something to list.

Profiles created using OneAll

Using Jamroom

What happens if you do something on the eddy_costa profile? Anything at all? Like create a blog post, or follow another profile.

There is an obvious difference between the eddy_costa profile and the other two: there is absolutely nothing to show on the eddy_costa profile.

Probably not a solution, it's just a guess, but seems worth a try.
