Forum Activity for @strumelia

Hi, glad you are coming over to Jamroom!
First go to your ACP area by clicking directly on the ACP link in your site's top menu links. To get to the configuration areas of each module, then in the ACP screen go to the Modules Tab in left column, and follow leads accordingly. Make sure each module is checkboxed "active" in its INFO tab (otherwise it's turned off for the moment), and go to the various other modules Tabs to further customize how you want the module to work on your particular site. Perhaps you only want certain kinds (quotas) of members to be able to use/see what a certain module offers- that would be under the Quota Config Tab of the module.
see my screenshot below for the Private Notes Module, for example:

Admin Export Images from Gallery

Using Jamroom

Have you tried this?:
Go to a profile's picture gallery, and then go to a specific image page.
Look for the 'configure buttons' button, and see if you can configure it to show the 'download file' button to show, and be sure it's checkbox-set to 'active' for your desired quotas. (All these button settings should be accessible from the buttons right there, unless you have some other restrictions in place in your general site settings.)

See attached image...

PJ, have you also checked to see your general site font size setting in site.css style tabs?

I too wondered what the 'ranking' thing meant.
I approach it this way- if i find some area of my site that has text that's uncomfortably small to read, then I go after that particular setting rather than try to make all text settings consistent. My 'default' for ease of reading is 14pt, so over time most text settings wind up being that unless I've set larger titles.

Just a final update to this, to help future people who might have the same problem and be searching for answers...

On windows, I didn't get results from pasting 'as plain text' option on right click pasting. (seems to work on Macs though)
What I found worked for me on windows is the TinyMCE 'Remove Formatting' button on my site's text editor window. You may have that button already, if not you can add it to the TinyMCE toolbar for your site.
Here's a pic of the steps that will solve this 'pasted url of Vimeo videos' issue on my site:

Ok i think i understand Paul.
Happily, my members don't seem to very often need to post a Vimeo video into a forum post that 'has to' play right there. I can tell my 6 moderators to remember this about the plain text pasting, and hopefully when someone complains about it in future, we'll at least know how to work around it and get results. Maybe one day an update will resolve the issue.. or Vimeo will go out of business.. lol.
Thank you so much for taking the time to delve into this.. it sure was mystifying for a while there!
I'll mark this finished.

Thanks guys! Paul, I just emailed you a master admin login.

Hi Douglas, I do have the Media URL Scanner module activated, and also have its 'expanded media' box checked. The pasted url converts to a player in a forum post for YT videos, but not for Vimeo videos.
See here where the member and also my moderator tried pasting the Vimeo url into a post...it only produces a text hotlink:

That's not quite what I mean Paul.
I have a member who added a Vimeo video to my site that does not meet our guidelines to be in our video section, so I removed it. I suggested to him that he could instead embed it in a forum discussion post and that the video would show up and play right there in the post.
So...
The video in question is not accessible by the usual 'embed local media' button in the text editor window, --> since it's not 'local', it exists only on Vimeo, not on our site. Knowing that,....

Yes, he could simply paste the URL to the video into his post, and it'd be a hotlink bringing people to his Vimeo page.
Now when someone does that url pasting thang with any YOUTUBE video url, the text editor converts it into a player that will show and play the video right there in the post without being taken off site.
This does not seem to work when pasting an url for a vimeo video however...it only shows up as the dry text link, not live in a player within the post. This is what I'm asking about.
Is there a setting or simple code I could add that would do the same for Vimeo videos as currently happens for YT videos?

I know when I copy/paste the URL for a Youtube video into a post, it'll present the video as playable right there in the forum or group post. (without the video having to be added to the jr site as 'local embed')

Is this url-pasting "play it right in the post" feature something I can activate easily for Vimeo videos as well?

I love when things can be so easily fixed.
(and thanks Paul for pointing me to that particular .css file... it should have been obvious to me but I didn't see it there in the list.)
