Send Me a Private Note Button


Design and Skin Customization

Ok, I'm back to trying to adjust this 'send message' icon's appearance.
Thanks Michael... I removed that section of styling code from my profile sidebar template, and I put it above the 'status box' within my skin's profile.css file... here is how that section looks now in my profile.css file:
/* @title Profile Image Hover */
/* @help When Hovering over the Profile Image, the Change Profile Image hover box will appear */
.profile_hoverimage {
    background-color: #333333;
    position: absolute;
    top: 15px;
    left: 15px;
    padding: 3px;
    display: none;
    opacity: 0.8;
    border-radius: 3px;
}

.profile_hoverimage a {
    text-decoration: none;
}

.profile_hoverimage a:hover {
    text-decoration: none;
}

.profile_image:hover .profile_hoverimage {
    display: block;
    cursor: pointer;
}

/* @message this member envelope icon */
#profile_contact {
text-align: center;
}
#profile_contact .sprite_con {
display: inline;
border: none;
padding: 10px;
box-shadow:none;
}

.stat_entry_box {
    float: left;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    border-width: 1px;
    border-color: #999999;
    border-style: solid;
    border-radius: 3px;
    padding: 3px 9px;
    margin: 6px 6px 0 0;
    font-size: 12px;
    text-transform: uppercase;
}

In my ACP, my profile.css layout NOW looks like this:
profilecss.jpg profilecss.jpg - 62KB

Is it possible to use the Mailgun list of "Bounces and Failures" to move unused accounts offline, or out?


Using Jamroom

That's a real nice idea that would be very useful to many.

I would add one addition to it- to also include a column showing the disk space that account uses on your site... the same disk space info we can currently see in our 'Profile Browser'. That way, we could investigate before deleting a member that had contributed a lot of valuable site content that we might not want to inadvertently remove even though they are no longer active. If the disk space for that member is 0 kb, we know we'll not be losing any good site content when deleting them.

As things are currently set up, it's annoying and time consuming to 1) Check the quota we've setup to automatically isolate kickbox email 'fails' into a to-be-deleted quota, then 2) have to go to the User Browser to see the last log in date, and 3) go to the Profile Browser (or the profile page itself) to check if the member has a lot of site content I might not want to delete.... before actually deleting the account. Steps 2 and 3 require copy/paste search for the member in each profile and user Browser.
I've been following all these steps for years now when I periodically go check my 'kickbox fail' Quota.

creating an unlisted admin Page


Using Jamroom

I will try this SB method Paul and Michael. Sounds like the simplest way. Thank you!
I'll post again here if I get stumped along the way. :)

Thanks Michael for that explanation.
You mean make a text file in say Wordpad and call it ___.tpl ?

Wouldn't SB then change my site's current index page and menus if I activated it though? Would it make unwanted changes to my site if all I did was use it to make some new pages?

creating an unlisted admin Page


Using Jamroom

There is no way to set some of my pages to be private (or rather 'unlisted') and my other pages to be public?

Skin template?... I'd have to figure out how to do that and what to put in it.

(mysore.com ...ew! lol)

...can this have something to do with the 'show page header' checkbox available to me (not in SB, but when creating a normal Page), with the help reading:
"If checked, the page title and breadcrumb navigation will be added above the page content." .... I'm not sure what that actually means... ?

Paul thanks- but I don't have SiteBuilder installed, and never opted to learn to use it. Is there a way i can do this without SB?
I have created Admin pages already in the past, as in here: https://fotmd.com/strumelia/page ...but that's not a private page and I don't see a setting to make it private.

creating an unlisted admin Page


Using Jamroom

Say (for example) I want to create a web page/url for an item I personally want to sell on Ebay, but i don't want my site members to see it-- it has nothing to do with my site. I just want a page on the web to park some info about the item and a dozen photos of it... I would then link to the page in my Ebay auction or on Craigslist- buyers would be able to go to the link and see the info and photos, but my site members would not be able to see the page or stumble onto it unless they had the link. After I sell the item I could then edit the page for a new item or just delete the page.

Is creating a Page the best way to do this? Or perhaps creating a private Blog post somehow? Or a hidden member/profile with pages they create?
BTW I have other Admin blog posts that need to remain public on my site. Also, currently only Admins can create either blogs or pages on my site, and that's how I want it.

It's pretty simple, but I'm not sure what would be the easiest method for this use.

Followers sometimes get doubled listing in 'my followers' list


Using Jamroom

brian:
There's really 2 issues here:
- There should not be duplicates in the followers datastore
- When using a "group_by" on the _profile_id key it's not working in a specific instance

I've got #2 fixed for the next core release which will "mask" issue 1 for you on your site, but we're checking on why duplicates were created in the first place.

Brian, I've applied the new Core update, and your 'masking fix' is indeed working. So thanks so much for that, my members will be relieved! (they kept accidentally deleting their followers, because when they clicked to remove ONE of the twins --as anyone might predictably do-- BOTH were deleted from their follower list)
I know you will still be investigating the 2 factors you've listed above. But just wanted to let you know your Core masking fix worked and I'm real happy about that. :)

You can mark this thread as any status you see fit now, since I'm not sure how it would be best categorized now. THANKS!!

auto-follow a discussion when you've posted to it


Using Jamroom

michael:
Brian's got a fix for this added to jrGroupDiscuss 1.4.14 which will be in an upcoming release.

I just applied this update for the auto-follow in GROUP discussions when any member posts in the discussion, and it's working properly. Now this feature works right for both Forum discussions and Group discussions.

Thank you so much, this is actually a BIG thing for improving site participation!
I'm now marking this thread SOLVED. :D
