Sharethis and Aparna

Jamroom Developers

Thanks @paul. As usual great support
Works great but it shares ( on facebook , nothing else tested so far ) as the profile with their bio instead of sharing the content that the MODULE item_detail is supplying.
Anyway to fix this so that it pulls the actual modules info?
Like the first 2 lines with an image etc ( truncate )

Aparna module with audio or uploaded files that are marked required

Jamroom Developers

Yep thank @michael. Thats what I did. As I said it was a stupid mistake on my behalf

Aparna module with audio or uploaded files that are marked required

As I am new to JR I didn't actually realise there was a separate update form accessible from the dropdown in form designer.
Thanks for explaining it to me @SteveX. Something so simple yet I missed it completely.
Feel really stupid now
Cheers everyone for the support!

ps. Just tried editing a blog post to test the required on update and create ( Blog Text Required both set to yes in update and create )
I could save that without having to add or edit the blog text field. So just a question, Why did it save ok yet the audio field that was set to required on both forms in my Module require another upload?
Not a biggy now as I know I can set Required to no.
I take it, it is because it's a file?

Ok done thanks @SteveX.
So does that mean I need to do that field again or can I edit it??
I can see the problem now. It defaults to the opposite of the norm.
It defaults to the update page instead of the create
Unlike the other modules which default to the create

It was in the loud-fast-shitty-radio/update section
That is what was/is confusing and yes in the update section I have the upload set to required.
Not used to that as it normally opens the create rather then the update section

ok I don't see that
So I need to re-create my field as it's only in the new field area?
edit: hmmm in the Aparna module the only option I have is ADD TO CREATE FORM
Yet in the jrAudio module I have ADD TO UPDATE FORM

Ok In the Aparna module that I have created there is no area to set the required or untick the update forms.
I think that is the issue
As you can see below
There is no checkbox for the add to update

Why do you have to add it again on edit? (update)
The users can't set the required to off so every time you need to edit something in the form
Lets say
Image Upload = image
Song Upload = Song
Text area or editor = blah blah blah

If I need to go back into the form and update it ( or a user ) they get the error as they haven't uploaded a new file?
The file is already there and has met the required field element as it was done before
why do it again?

Here if i don't upload another file ( all up to date btw ) it throws the error saying there is a problem with my upload field
"You have entered an invalid value for "upload podcast"

Even if i just edit a little bit of text on the form and try and save it I get that error
If I do the edit and upload another file it works fine....
But why do I have to upload another/same file again?
As I said it doesn't make sense...

So what you are saying is I should edit through the form designer and remove the tick in add to update form?

Well @SteveX the only thing i am trying to get my head around is
that if a user is simply trying to edit a form in other fields of that form
then they must upload another or the same file again for it to complete???

That doesn't sound right to me.
Yes the field was required on the initial creation
but upon edit it should already know that there is a file there and the requirement was/is already fulfilled.

So why should that be required again?
It doesn't make sense.

First time YES
if EDITING why upload another or the same file again when that area has a file already and has sorted the required section on the first upload?

Sorry if I am being pedantic but I have never seen any other software I have used require another upload in a required field if it has already been met.

Is there any way of letting the module know that if a file is already there, to then allow the edits in other fields instead of having to upload the file again?

Ok Thanks @paul. I thought if you already had a file uploaded the requirement was already fulfilled.
Seems strange to have to upload the same file for just a slight typo edit in another field.
