Embed Local Media in TinyMCE not working in Chrome on iOS

Using Jamroom

Monstrosity, indeed! I'm no fan of the evil empire, but as I do a lot of Jamroom fiddling on the train to/from London, it generally works much better with JR ACP than Safari.

That said, I'm logged on to my JR site in Safari as a 'normal' user, and in Chrome as an Admin. Flipping between them helps me check the experience for the 'normal' quota.....in the early days, I was forever setting things up as an Admin, and forgetting to check they worked properly for the citizens!

EDIT: While I'm at it with iPad, if you carry out any image editing on it (either in Photos or a 3rd party app, it applies a .jpeg extension), which I can't upload to Jamroom. I was just about to upload a cropped screenshot of my visitor browser stats from Google Analytics, but can't...

Embed Local Media in TinyMCE not working in Chrome on iOS

Using Jamroom

Just an FYI, the Embed Local Media modal window does not populate at all/doesn't expand to content when using the TinyMCE editor in Chrome on iPad. Works fine in Safari.

Updated to clarify slightly.

Notification of new topic in followed profile forum

Using Jamroom

Thinking about this a little more, and being entirely unaware (as I've not had a chance to look yet) as to the data available to search, I wonder if I can at the very least create a box to go above the user timeline that searches the profiles followed in the places quota and displays them alongside the number of topics in those profiles' forums.

Then at least when they log in, that might give them enough cause to go further and investigate them to see what's new. Ive never quite got my head around how you cross reference which profiles a user is following, but I will try and have a look later.

Another 'data too long' error....

Fabulous! Thank you!

The issue I've got is as touched on in the other post about linked profiles. On our site are profiles for every town, village and city in the UK. They don't actively 'do' anything themselves; all they have are forums for discussing the history of that place, and a geo-referenced photo gallery.

As they never actually post anything themselves, nothing related to them ever shows up in their followers' timelines (people follow them because they are interested in that place, or are researching it for family history purposes, etc.). That makes the experience very stagnant for the average user - they have to go and actively check every forum in every place they're interested in, and if they repeatedly find nothing,then they'll give up.

It's the same with mentions. They would be interested in seeing if places they have followed are being mentioned in conversations, even if those conversations take another place's forums*.

You're right - very 'popular' places could generate a lot of emails, so perhaps it has to be a 'timeline only' entry, or a system similar to the one you already use for forum replies - you get a notification about a new forum post, but no more until you've actually visited the forum.

Volume is not something we have a problem with at the moment, but stagnation is.

*which reminds me - are you supposed to get a notification if you're mentioned in a forum reply - like this @brian?

Another 'data too long' error....

Hi, @brian - you looked at the issue for me before as in the link above.

I needed a profile for every town village and city in the UK, and @paul created an import module for me which made a linked profile for each one.

Fab. I don't know when I'll bite the bullet on this one, but I will....

Unless I'm missing something, is it not possible for users to receive notifications when new topics are started in the forums of profiles they follow?

E.g., in the case of Our Town Story, a user follows the Springfield profile because they are interested in talking about it, but currently they never know if someone else starts a discussion there. Using the bands metaphor, wouldn't someone want to know if someone started a new discussion on one of the bands they follow?

Interestingly, there are a lot of icon related 404s to do with modules that @paul has made for me, but nothing that seems related to the recurring search error....
