auto-approve followers checkbox not doing its job?


Using Jamroom

I think that's a good move, Michael. It will help avoid this kind of issue in the future, for others.
I have not forgotten this thread- just been distracted by other obligations for the moment. Will readdress this soon to see if/how I can fix things up for my site. :)

I do see what you;re saying Michael. I'm just a little unsure exactly where to put the id= part in my index.tpl. I know it should go in that "About section" as you see in the code I pasted.
I'm guessing I need to put it within one of the two divs here:
<div class="row">
            <div class="col12 last">
...but am I right about that...and within which one of those divs should I put the new id?
I'm almost there, but the right location is not quite clear to me.

Michael, I've got the snowstorm working on the entire site for https://pennywhistleclub.com/
however, your instructions in your last post for "about section" I don't think would work, because the initial div class container code I posted actually encompasses all the main page "sections"... not just the About section. So at the moment I can't figure out the proper ID I should use (maybe...8? About?) and how I should change that in my skin index template, to then repeat the target in the snowstorm js.
Here is a slightly longer copy of the code of my skin's Index.tpl, so you can see what I mean...i don't want to change the id of that entire container class. (The "About" section is within it, near the top):

{* BEGIN Container *}
<div class="container">

    {* BEGIN About Section *}
    {if isset($_conf.pwPWskin_Dec20_2017_index_activity_section) && $_conf.pwPWskin_Dec20_2017_index_activity_section == 'on'}
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col12 last">
                <div class="title m10">
                    <h2>{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="8" default="About"}</h2>
                </div>
                {jrCore_list module="jrBlog" limit="1" search1="blog_category = about" template="index_about.tpl"}
            </div>
        </div>
    {/if}
    {* END About Section *}

    {* BEGIN Activity And Top Right Section *}
    {if isset($_conf.pwPWskin_Dec20_2017_index_activity_section) && $_conf.pwPWskin_Dec20_2017_index_activity_section == 'on'}
        <div class="row">
{* BEGIN Activity Section *}
            <div class="col8">

                <div class="title m10">
                    <h2>{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="20" default="Latest"} {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="27" default="Activity"}</h2>
                </div>

                {* BEGIN Activity Section *}

"About" is an Admin blog category...it came with the original Ningja skin as a sort of description box for the top of the Home page.
Does this code from my custom skin's index.tpl help identify what the admin blog "about" section would be called, for the snow code target?:

{* ======== END OF EMBEDDED TEMPLATES ======== *}
{* BEGIN Container *}
<div class="container">
    {* BEGIN About Section *}
    {if isset($_conf.mdFOTMD_Oct3_2017_index_activity_section) && $_conf.mdFOTMD_Oct3_2017_index_activity_section == 'on'}
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col12 last">
                <div class="title m10">
                    <h2>{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="8" default="About"}</h2>
                </div>
                {jrCore_list module="jrBlog" limit="1" search1="blog_category = about" template="index_about.tpl"}
            </div>
        </div>
    {/if}
    {* END About Section *}

Hmm, question: Could I apply the snow only to my Main page Admin blog section "About" ?- how to adapt the above instructions to snow only there in that blog widget on my site's main page? (the top section where it says Welcome to FOTMD!)

("facepalm"...L O L)

No comments box on profiles, images or Private Notes for some users


Using Jamroom

lornawebber:
We are still getting lots of support tickets from users who can't post comments anywhere on site.
In most cases, clearing browser cache works, but in some cases it makes no difference.
I have asked for version numbers, but I know of one on Chrome and one on Firefox.

Yep, there are still some problems with the missing reply boxes. I just got an email from one of my moderators, who did some checking this morning while logged in as a regular member (our test profile). Here's what he just reported, on my site fotmd.com:

" I have my relatively new HP laptop running a very fresh, clean install of Windows 10. I logged in as a regular user with chrome. No text box. I logged out, cleared browser cache, temp files, cookies etc. using the windows utility in Internet Options then rebooted the laptop. Logged in with chrome, still no text box. Logged out then logged back in with Firefox. Everything is fine with Firefox."

Can I go back and restore a delated module from Site Builder?


Ning To Jamroom

Did you already look in your Marketplace area?:
(YOURSITE.com)/marketplace/browse
...in the Modules TAB there, and you can use the search window there to find the module you're looking for and reinstall it.

No comments box on profiles, images or Private Notes for some users


Using Jamroom

I haven't gotten any new member complaints today on missing textboxes or my ad slideshows not loading...and I had a few members tell me things look fixed now for them.... so I think it must be working correctly now. (fingers crossed) :)

But I still have my Main Page admin blog "About" not loading for regular members and logged out people. It loads fine for me and my profile admins though. Please see my last two screenshots for what it 'should' look like and what is actually showing (or rather, not showing) to regular members. I need to fix this on both my Jamroom sites.
--> UPDATE: NEVERMIND !! -I managed to fix this in my custom skin's Index template, using Michael's code tweak above as my guide. Just had to figure out where it was supposed to go. :D

P.S. Perrie, don't act so innocent. I know you did it.
;D

I have to come back to this with a fresh brain tomorrow. The path often seems more obvious to me after sleeping. :)

auto-approve followers checkbox not doing its job?


Using Jamroom

Yes, understood Paul.
So the little weirdness will be that if members are set with the checkbox OFF (so that their new followers go through without needing their approval), then should I also keep the Friends module to make it do an automatic follow-back and complete the connection without the profile owner's approval? This would enable anyone to go ahead and follow, and then Private Message any other member, without that member having a choice.... so I guess that might create a problem concerning certain self-promoting or needy members. Not sure how I can have this arranged so it's more user friendly but not completely free for all. I can't tell you how many members have been confused by the follow/followback arrangement over the past two years. Over and over, my members ask "how do I 'follow' someone?"... and now I've found out that so many members have accumulated pending followers because they never check their followers page and they are by default set to have to approve followers. :(

Hmm... just thinking... is there a way to have some sort of flashing button or message appear on people's profile page advising them that they still have Pending Followers awaiting their approval? (and include a link that takes them right to their Followers page where they can see the bright yellow Pendings) ....Something way more 'in yer face' than just the notification they might get only once?


excuse me- will be back in an hour....got to go take care of something
