Thanks, Paul, I'll carry on fiddling!

jrFollow datastore
Using Jamroom
I'm trying to customise some timeline templates with different kinds of mentions, but I don't understand the jrFollow datastore. For each entry, there is follow_active, which is presumably 1 when a profile is followed, and follow_profile_id, which is the id of the profile being followed (the followee, as it were).
I was expecting to see an id for the instigator (the follower), but there isn't one. This confuses how I had thought I would construct my list, which was going to be along the lines of 'where profile_id=$profile_id AND follow_active=1' etc etc
If I did that with follow_profile_id it would just list every profile that is followed. What am I missing?

Timeline refers to gallery name, not item

Thank you for the detailed explanation- it makes perfect sense. In fact, I needed to use {$item.action_orginal_data.gallery_image_title} unless of course there's a reason to use the URL parameter instead.
Need to mess about with the formatting but success is in the attached image (4402). With this info I can customise a lot more of the timeline, as I'd like to use the urlscan card formatting for all those type of entries - I've already done it for events, also attached (4401)...
That's been a real eye-opener!

Wow - thanks @michael! Just arrived at work, so I shall digest this on the way home.....

That sorts out the item entry, but not the comments (i.e. @User posted a comment on) as this is handled differently. I'm just figuring out at what point jrComment makes gallery_title the reference for the comment so that I can change it to gallery_item_title.

Fantastic - I will do that. I see what you're saying, and I agree - it's six of one and half a dozen of the other, I think. I'll change it and see how it goes.

Morning, all,
This is an observation rather than an issue, but the timeline refers to whole Gallery titles, e.g. '@user posted a new comment on Kent Miscellaneous'. As there could be several tens of photos in one Gallery, wouldn't it make more sense to use the item title as a reference, e.g. '@user posted a new comment on Chatham High Street circa 1910'?

Treating content after a certain number of page views

Yes, indeed - the important questions! I'll keep thinking. Thank you.
Treating content after a certain number of page views
Using Jamroom
That would be my ultimate goal, of course, but at the moment I've got people popping in, pinching the images and posting them on Facebook to talk about them!
Edit: Somebody even took a screen grab from the site and posted it in a Facebook group that I'm a member of!

Treating content after a certain number of page views
Using Jamroom
I'd like to encourage people to sign up, rather than just browse. Would it be possible to have the image system blur all the pictures for a non-member after a certain number of page views each day?
Is this even a good idea - would it have the desired effect, or just annoy people?
Thoughts welcome!
