No they are working on a new easier version I believe, it's still in beta.

Format for usernames
LifeStreams
Hey Steve
I have only got round to testing this after many months ago buying it but my social networks aren't showing.
My twitter account is https://twitter.com/garymoncrieff so I entered garymoncrieff as the username, no twitter feed shows.
My linkedin page is at https://www.linkedin.com/in/garymoncrieff so again I entered garymoncrieff as the username, no linkedin feed
My Facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/GMWebDesignServices so I entered GMWebDesignServices and it gives me the following error:
Your lifestream settings were successfully saved
But your facebook username could not be converted
So I had to use the number instead.
What are the proper formats to use?

It's been stated multiple times work will begin once site builder is stable.
Using Aparna to sell Featured slots
Design and Skin Customization
Hey All
Following on from Michael's post in https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/suggestions/20953/merchandise-store
michael:
I think I would approach that the other way around. Instead of selling a service that triggered a site placement, I would have site placements that needed to be purchased.
So use jrAparna to create a site-placement module and allow its items to be sold.

I wanted to break this out into it's own thread as it warranted a separate discussion that may be of help to others.
I am using a clone of the MediaPro Light skin as the base for my site, it has been fairly heavily customised so far but I am taking it even further! I have kept the flexslider on the homepage http://demo.jamroom.net/jrMediaProLight/ and the Featured Artists slider underneath.
I have taken the Featured Artists Slider and applied it to all quotas, adding the appropriate skin settings options as I went.
My ultimate goal for the Flexslider is to have differently laid out slides depending on the quota of the profile featured. ie a photographer wont need songs featured, they'll want their images featured etc.
But that is just a bit of background to set the discussion.
As any of you know that are using MediaPro, we enter profile ids in the relevant section in skin settings. The flexslider then checks this field for ID's.
{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" search="_item_id in `$_conf.gmSkin_slider_profile_ids`" template="index_slider.tpl" limit="21"}
If I were to use jrAparna to sell the slots I am imagining passing the profile ID's into this slider somehow? So the above code would be checking for ID's contained within a datastore field?
Is jrAparna set up with inbuilt support for the Foxycart modules? It's not something I came across in the times I have created modules using it.
It is certainly an interesting proposal Michael made just having a little difficulty seeing how it would function at the moment.

That will warrant another thread, as I am using the placements in mediapro, so would need to tie into them with aparna generated module. I will need to think on it some more.

In a way yes but to take it the extra step of executing a piece of code that would perform a task on the site. I had this on my phpfox site and it was a really powerful feature, it meant if someone purchased a featured site placement that I didn't have to manually intervene it just handled everything automatically.

It's quite simply really, I have various places around my site where members can promote themselves, on the main frontpage slider, then on each quotas page there is also a featured section. Same with content.
I want them to able to visit the store on the community profile, buy for example 1 month's featured profile status, which gives them a position on the slider on front page and within their quota page. If I were able to execute a bit of code after the order was confirmed then the system could handle this automatically.
I envision only using the subscription system for subscriptions, I'd like to have as few as possible not to confuse users who are just signing up.

Well if you want to sell a service or some other type of product that doesn't have a download or physical product then you need a virtual option, to disable the relevant areas for this type of product.
for instance you could have a store on your community profile and sell featured status, this would have no download or physical product. If there was the notion of 'site products' these could allow for executing a piece of code which could be used to automatically set the profile to featured etc.

Will also need the notion of virtual products, ie for the like of the site products, as they don't need to show a download link in the My Items section.
