Send Me a Private Note Button


Design and Skin Customization

@michael ...at long last, thanks to your last post I was able to get to the bottom of this and fix it! Whew and Yay!

Bypassed the whole "icon"/"sprite" stuff ...which I thought was part of what was needed to make this project work..shows you how clueless i am. That was the actual cause of my confusion and the crappy results.
So...
I started from scratch and removed ALL references to this 'contact/icon' thing from my skin's profile.css file. I then uploaded a new .png simply to my skin/img folder. Then i changed the code in my skin's profile_sidebar.tpl to the following:
        
        <div id="profile_contact">
        	<div style="text-align:center">
        	{if jrCore_module_is_active("jrPrivateNote") && $quota_jrPrivateNote_allowed == "on"}
        	{jrCore_module_url module="jrPrivateNote" assign="nurl"}
        	<a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$nurl}/new/user_id={$_user_id}" title="Message This Member"><img src="{$jamroom_url}/skins/mdFOTMD_March4_2018/img/envelope3.png"></a>
        	{/if}
            </div>
        </div>
        {/if}
(i added the center align there in the template instead of in the css)

The result was the following screenshot, and it functions perfectly! It's wonderful- a simple additional function I've wanted for a long time and my members will LOVE it!
Holy Moly, I know this took me waaaaay too long.

THANK YOU ALL for your prolonged assistance on this.
SOLVED!! :D

Maybe ok as an option, but not as a default (imho).
I run paid ads on my sites' Home/Main page. Having all site activities fed to a member's own profile page would take away all incentive for my members to visit the Home page. I like the Home page to be a central meeting place that all members are eager to go look at each day, rather than just staying on their own profile page. My sites are communities, and I want to encourage members to explore the different parts of the site. It's cool that they can go to other members profile pages and see the different timelines of those people.
My members tell me they like to go browse over the various widgets, photos, and info on the Main page. And they see the ads there, and various site notices.
Everyone's needs are different.

Ok then that would be on the timelines of your site's member Profile Pages that you are asking about. Just trying to get your request clear.

"select all" option for Integrity Check ?

I see Paul. I didn't realize the others were so rarely needed.
How does doing them 'load up the server' though ? Do files actually ACCUMULATE on the server from doing complete ICs, or do you simply mean the activity/ram level peaks during the check?

Andrusito, once you're done with all that.... there's also an additional tool to reduce the size of images that have been added to your site by users.
Go in your ACP to:
Core->image support->tools->resize item images
then use the drop down menu to reduce the size of your user's images in the various modules, such as Audio, image galleries, Comments, etc.
I do this every few months to catch and reduce the size of my members' uploaded images... the ones that somehow slip by my usual limit settings.

If you don't mean on your site's Home page (Index page), then what page do you want it to show on?

Do you mean on your site's Timeline page itself?- as in: (yoursite).com/timeline ?

Or do you mean on the profile pages timelines?- as in: (yoursite).com/membername/timeline ?

"select all" option for Integrity Check ?


Suggestions

Daily maintenance does it's daily Integrity Check on JR sites, but I do enough tweaking and updating to justify an additional manual Integrity Check at least every other day, on both my sites. I routinely go down the line under "extra options" and check all those 4 boxes as well when running this.

It occurred to me that over the span of a year it would save a whole LOT of checkbox clicking if there was an additional option to simply "select all" that would select all options with 1 click. OR, perhaps a global option that we could set to KEEP all checkboxes checked unless we uncheck them.

I know you JR devs are super busy... so this is just a thought that occurred to me today... no biggie if it's not worth the trouble to create it! :)

creating an unlisted admin Page


Using Jamroom

Thanks Michael!
I found some time to work on this today, and got some progress.
I uploaded some jpgs to my FOTMD skin IMG folder, in their own folder, and I made a template called fotmdbuttons.tpl ...using my skin's Index tpl as a skeleton as you suggested, removing the whole middle part and putting in the code from my whistle site's sitebuilder page, but of course with the img references changed.
It looks fine, but I seem to have just a couple of small issues with the new page:
https://fotmd.com/fotmdbuttons

The first issue is that although the URL works fine, I notice when I'm there that the url displays correctly in my browser's location window, but on my browser's TAB the page title appears as: Home | fotmd.com This does not behave this way on other site pages... the browser tab always correctly reflects where I am.
What am i doing wrong in the tpl I made?- or do I need to adjust something eleswhere to make the browser tab reflect the page?

Here is my skin's new fotmdbuttons.tpl code (with all the blah blah blah stuff in the middle removed, so you can better see the beginning and end of the template code:
{assign var="selected" value="home"}
{* Include Header File *}
{jrCore_include template="header.tpl"}

{* Site Builder *}
{if jrCore_module_is_active('jrPanel') && jrCore_module_is_active('jrMenu') && jrCore_module_is_active('jrWidget')}

<div id="container">
  <div class="col9">
  	<div style="padding:15px 12px 0 0">
{* show a panel on this page *}
{jrPanel_display name="index"}
</div>
{else}
   <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Show your FOTMD pride and recognize other FOTMD members!</span><br><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Buy your own <strong>Friends of the Mountain Dulcimer pin-back buttons</strong> here!</span></p>....(almost all the middle stuff removed here for brevity)....
<p><img src="https://fotmd.com/skins/mdFOTMD_March4_2018/img/fotmdbutton_images/ralphs-8.jpg" alt="ralphs-8.jpg" title="ralphs-8.jpg" border="0" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="402" height="341"></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>

</div>
	</div>
    	</div>
{* END Container *}
{/if}
{* Include Footer File *}
{jrCore_include template="footer.tpl"}

BTW I tried replacing that value="home" in the first line to "fotmdbuttons", but that didn't seem to do anything, so I put it back.
