A site selling stuff to non-members?


Using Jamroom

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?

Search box for members


Using Jamroom

I notice two things on your 'members' page Perrie. If you HOVER your mouse over a picture of a member, a popup shows their member name and if you click on the avatar or name it takes you to their profile page... so that's good.
And two: if you type in a member name into your general site search box at top right of any page, it also will show you the search results with that member as a result. I searched for fitbuddy and got this: https://thenewstalkers.com/search/results/all/1/4?search_string=fitbuddy That's good too.
Note that on THAT page, there is also a "search profiles" search box where you can search for other member names.

perrie:
Why is there such a difference between my member page and Strumelia's? Could it be skin related?
Yes Perrie, it's skin and template related... in that I did a lot of customizations especially to the 'look' of my site to make it easy for my members to find their way around and (hopefully) friendly and pleasant to look at. I started (like you too maybe?) from the basic generic "Ningja" skin long ago. Most of the customizations were done around the time i moved from Ning 2.5 years ago, but it's an ongoing process, especially when updates keep coming along to mess with my head. (lol)
I'm still no coder, but I manage to figure out small site tweaks on my own here and there. And I do make mistakes. ;)

What skin did YOU base your site design from Perrie?
