A site selling stuff to non-members?
Using Jamroom

Brian, thanks!
By 'a 3rd party script'... do you mean like a separate hosted Wix site or something? Can you give an example so I understand more what that means?
And by "just use a Buy Now paypal button"... do you mean I should use it on a site that's NOT a Jamroom site?
(I can't just add the PP buttons to my html current shirt site because it's not mobile friendly and I have to address that as well)
Thanks... sorry to take up your time with these questions.

A site selling stuff to non-members?
Using Jamroom

paul:
If you really want to just sell items to non-members, it may be easier just to add the PayPal 'Buy It Now' script to the product item templates.

Paul, I sell t-shirts on the side and have very few (almost never) repeat customers. People just want to quickly click a button to buy a shirt as a gift at Christmas or a birthday, and be done with it, no 'joining' anything in order to access and buy a shirt. So yes i really do want to sell to non-members- I'm not interested in having 'members' for this kind of site.

I have a static 20-year-old html website that is woefully outdated...not even mobile friendly nor paypal-enabled. I need to make a new site to sell the tshirts and was hoping I could use Jamroom and my JR server extra space I already have. I was hoping to build a quick very simple store site to sell shirts using my existing Paypal account without requiring 'membership'. I'd have to have a shopping cart of some sort because some folks buy several shirts in diff styles, colors, and sizes, in one order.
I'm thinking the paypal 'buy it now' script does not include or enable a shopping cart? Maybe I'm wrong about that, never seen a cart used on 'buy it now' items online.
On my other JR site, I do have simple Paypal 'donation' button scripts and those work fine and folks can use them without being a member I assume (because the site is public)... but they are not a shopping cart either.

Coming from my old ning/socialnetwork background, I don't have any experience in JR's other skins, though I 'think' you have one geared towards merchandise/store type sites? But maybe that's for selling audio and wouldn't be what I'd need.

I could possibly pay for help in setting this little simple store site up if it wasn't too costly. Once it was up and running in a basic functional way, I probably know enough about Jamroom to customize and maintain it. I'd be creating a new domain for it and leaving the old domain's index page in place to redirect to the new one.

Maybe using the JR platform is just not the way to go for this project at all... I'm not sure. Here's my current outdated shirt site: http://harmonias.com/ ...yikes, it's so old you have to send a check in the mail to buy something! LOL !

Do you have any more suggestions or thoughts on this for me?

Is it possible to use Jamroom in building a simple online 'store' site to sell physical items (such as tote bags for example)... using the Paypal module and Paypal for orders, with a shopping cart... but have it set so that people do NOT need to 'join' the site as members in order simply place an order via the Paypal button and their shopping cart ?
-- Non-members browsing to the site from Google and being able to buy things using Paypal... without having to 'join' or create an account on your site.

Jamroom Sites Slow on Dedicated Server
Proxima

I have NO idea if this is related in any way, but lately I've been finding my Daily Backup seems to get stuck in sleep/timeout state in my Queue Viewer. See screenshot (65,000 seconds?=18 hours!-unless I'm reading that wrong)...
I cleared/deleted it from the Queue yesterday after finding the DB Backup had been 'sleeping' for hours... and now it seems stuck in delays again. I was going to start a thread about it, and I'll still do that if you JR devs think it's not related to this thread's issue. Just thought I would throw in the possibility here just in case.

Not quite yet Michael- 20F this morning and we've gotten almost two feet of snow over the past three weeks...
...but I finally had ENOUGH of this 'winter wonderland' business, and whipped off my hat and scarf in a daring act of rebellion! lol

Thanks Paul! It's good that you guys are careful about making sure it doesn't effect other stuff releasing it.
No rush, great to know the cause was found.
Odd that I never saw this happening til now, seemed to me it used to work fine... but perhaps it only began happening after other recent updates.
In any case, very good- happy to wait for the release... and thank you!!

Search box for members
Using Jamroom

Perrie, look in your active/custom skin's templates, for one called: jrProfile_index.tpl
If your active skin DOES have that template, then you are going to add the code into THAT template. (that would be a customized template in the skin that overrides the original template in the PARENT module... in this case, jrProfile module))

If your active skin does NOT have that template, then go directly to your jrProfile MODULE and put the code in the original index.tpl template in that Profiles Module.

If you don't use member 'genres' but you do want to be able to search members by location as well as by their profile name, then look at the following section of code from my own index.tpl template:
    <div class="title">
        {jrSearch_module_form fields="profile_name,profile_url,profile_location"}
        <h1>{jrCore_lang module="jrProfile" id=26 default="Profiles"}</h1>
    </div>
--- Note that your site may have slightly different code in that profile module template than on my site. Don't make any changes to that! You simply want to add the one SINGLE line with brackets that mentions the Search_module... and add it right below the "div class title" line but above the h1 line. See where I put mine in the code quoted above. That I think will put the search box within your 'title' bar that says Members, on your index member page. You can also add Nate's style/floatright code as well, within that search code bracket and at the end, just like where he put it in his example.
See if that works.

Always make a COPY of the template before you change it- so you can replace the original if your changes don't do what you had hoped. Remember to click the little box and save to activate it, back in the full templates page. Remember to clear cache to see any new change.

Paul, were you able to find the cause of this happening?
