Design and Skin Customization

Paul -

I've made so many changes to header_menu_desktop.tpl that I doubt it's in line 167 any more! lol

But thanks, now what I know where it is I can find the text and add it in.

So instead of


which in the jrForum item_search.tpl, change it to


in jrGroupDiscuss item_search.tpl

Adding fields to Group Discussion listings

Design and Skin Customization

Members have told me that it's confusing to them that the results for Group Discussions and Forum Discussions (this is a Ning site on JR so other skins/sites may not have Forum Discussions) are different.

As I am relatively new to JR one of my ongoing challenges is knowing exactly which template to modify and in which module it's located.

I am looking to add fields to the Group Discussion item (display Date and Poster, text from the description) to make it similar to the Forum discussion display.

Where is this done for Forum Discussions (search results)?
Where is this done for Group Discussions (search results)?

Once I know that, I can cut and paste and modify the code to make it work.

router and server errors debug

Installation and Configuration

@SE -

Is this a Ning-specific question?

There is a forum specifically for server configuration and installation questions and there might be other resources there that could provide you with answers.

I have started searching for answers and asking some questions in the other forums that are not specifically related to the Ning migration, general template and skin customization issues, for example.

Just a thought.

Adding jrGroupDiscuss discuss_description to site-wide search

Design and Skin Customization

Paul -

I did ... I just wanted to know if I was overlooking anything.

I am closing this one down.

Changing search pagination

Design and Skin Customization

In the following search:

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/search/results/all/1/4?search_string=foil

Results are returned in multiple categories. As can be seen in the URL, the number of displayed results in each category is 4.

I want to change this to a number > 4. In which template does this variable reside? Furthermore, does changing this variable affect the click-through pages

e.g., Image Galleries Search These Results (##)

TIA

Adding jrGroupDiscuss discuss_description to site-wide search

Design and Skin Customization

Is discuss_description in the jrGroupDiscuss module included in site-wide search?

I know that it is when the scope of the search is limited to Groups.

At least one of my members has asked for the discussion description to be included in site-wide search in addition to discussion titles.

I know that there are performance implications in that I am now searching more text, but in the long run it would mean less time searching for my members so I think the time trade-off is worth it.

Are there any other side-effects I should worry about? I am going to assume that the template on the search results page that handles the return of group discussions does not need any modifications to handle this. Am I wrong? Anything else I am overlooking?

visitor - /crossdomain.xml in users online log

Installation and Configuration

Paul -

In configuring my site to work properly, Brian and I identified that I was having CORS problems. I was just wondering if seeing crossdomain in the log meant that visitors were getting errors instead of seeing proper pages.

visitor - /crossdomain.xml in users online log

This appear at different IP addresses in my users online log.

Do I need to worry about this?
If I do, what is the cause?
What can I do to fix (if I can)?

Feature Request: Two New Stats Needed on Profile Page

Ning To Jamroom

I have a member - Brad Churchill - that I thought was missing all of their Forum contributions - over 440.

I searched for his name and only get one Forum search result as can be seen in the attached screen shot. When I click through to the forum discussion and then on the ### posts under his profile photo I get the following display of all 449 posts :

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/forum/activity/1057/brad-churchill

That's a lot to ask for anyone to look around and find what a member has contributed. This is why I want a ### Forum Posts in the Stats section. Plus, if we're only going to display only a single Forum result in the search page, that's okay (though 3-5 is better), but there should be a link that says "All XXX" in the header bar above.

I could do this myself, but I feel real strongly that this is something that every Ningster is going to want that it should be a part of the skin.

Also - as @Strumelia points out - there should also be a parallel capability for Group discussion posts.
