will not let me add a field that is not prefixed user_

location lot a signup question or editable field

Paul - profile_location not user_profile_location?

Every other field in that form is pre-pended by user_ so just checking. This is the country, and is two characters, correct? For input and validation purposes.

Paul:

Brilliant! Sounds like it might want to be something that gets added to the module the next time it's updated.


But it's only half the battle - it stops members from commenting on existing posts.

Where do I go to keep anyone from adding a new post (other than me, of course)? If a member is not an admin, then the + sign to add a new discussion.

I have pretty much deprecated Chrome for daily work, even though GMail works better in Chrome. I am bopping back and forth between Firefox and Safari to test things (multiple user accounts in different quotas), doing most (but not all) of my behind the scenes work in Firefox, but some in Safari.

Two different monitors ... little things can be hard to spot.

Thanks for the update on this and the patience all the way around with my not-improving-rapidly-enough-for-me coding skills.

What I do appreciate is the back and forth that enables me learn how and where to look for potential answers. The "Order By Last ..." thread that I just closed is good example of that.

It was as I was composing a reply that I did a very close inspection of the code and realized where the problem was, a simple syntax error. Something someone more experienced would probably have noticed right away, but it escaped me completely.

Ahhhhhhh. A close look sees syntax error on the order_by - using non-existent names for things.

— instead of –

The first is shift-option-underscore the second is option-underscore. Depending on the editor and browser you are using these get rendered identically.

Fixed. Works. Closing this down.

IDs mixed up...?

Ning To Jamroom

By Groups I mean Group Discussions, not the site-wide forum. I posted yesterday, Order by on Group Discussions. In looking at this I realized that the URLs were malformed and that was more important than fixing the order_by.

IDs mixed up...?

Is this also related to the URL mixup in Groups that I found yesterday?

Make a Group Read-Only?

Design and Skin Customization

I have a number of old Ning groups in my JR5 community that I don't want to delete because the archive content is valuable.

However, the groups are moribund and don't attract any traffic or new contributions.

Is there a way make a group read-only?

TIA,
