Process for multi-profile accounts

Ning To Jamroom

@Brian:

Thanks for the clarification.

I am planning to do this as a manual process at least to start, and I will be putting "company profiles" into a separate quota that will add the Groups, Pages, FAQs, (maybe Memos, too) and profile tweaks to the shared profile. I will then manually link profiles to that shared profile. That quota will not have power-user privileges to begin with. Maybe eventually.

My plan, once I get this tested and operational, is to charge an annual subscription fee for that quota.

I don't plan to delete the original profile as I want each individual to have their own identity separate from the company. I think. What happens when I un-link a profile from another profile? Does the added content become un-linked as well?

Can't like

Ning To Jamroom

I am on a forum discussion. I click like. I get an error,

" User not logged in or not allowed to like/dislike "

Okay. I see my name in the top nav so I am logged in. I see the like button so the module is active. I go to the quota config for the Likes module and check that my quota (admin) has all privileges checked, including self-liking.

I go to a random image page and the Like button is greyed out (as are the ratings stars). I checked and the quota that the member is in has all the Liking privileges checked as well.

What am I missing?

On the original forum post where I noticed that I was unable to like and got the error message, I was able to post a comment. So the system knows I am logged in.

New here, hello everyone!

James -

I can answer this one. The sending is triggered by you. It's not automated. The message will not be sent until you go to the Ning Import module Tools page and click to send them.

IIRC, the module also detects whether members have come and claimed their accounts so you can send the email next week (or next month) and the email will only be sent to people who have not claimed their account.

Feature Request: Two New Stats Needed on Profile Page

It turns out that the code to do this is already written and it's on this page. It's the number of posts - the last line under the member's photo. It's already in every forum post/comment.

Just a matter of surfacing it in the stats area?

The video you reference does not talk about the relationship between accounts and profiles and your description is a little confusing to me.

You have one account with three profiles. /site-builder is a profile under your account but you have linked /paul etc, to the profile, not to the account. Right?

So for a company to work:

Each employee of the company would have its own account and a profile for them as a person. I would then add a second profile (say, with the company name) to one of the accounts (as specified by the company) and then put the "shared" profile into a quota and assign it a special constellation of privileges - including the ability to have multiple profiles.

I would then link all of the other employee profiles to the shared profile.

Right?

Each member has the option to post to their profile or to the shared profile and what shows up where depends on how I allocate the constellation of privileges in quota config, which is, for all intents and purposes, a very fine-grained ACL.

Member profile settings page missing Active and Quota fields

Ning To Jamroom


Michael - I did, and the issue seems to be that it's visible for some members and NOT others. I did run the integrity check, but not for databases (repair and optimize). Brian has my login credentials if you want to look.

The field is missing in the form looking at it in the form designer, but that doesn't explain why I can see it and some but not all members can't.

Member profile settings page missing Active and Quota fields

On a related note, in the process of adding the Ning signup questions using the form designer, I do not see the option to add the field to the update form.

So I am going to stop for the moment.

They are visible to me as admin but not visible to members?

Okay. But I am a little confused by this. My confusion may stem from the fact that I understand the relationship backwards?

From the Docs page on the module:

- Connected to the jrUser module in a 1:many relationship.
- Any single person on a JR5 site will have 1 user account, however they may have more than 1 profile.
- In a music website example this would be one band member being a member of many bands.
- Or a band manager managing many bands.

I was thinking it would be one entity (a company) with more than one employee, not a person working for more than one company.

In the above scenario, the two employees would have to share the same login and then each would manage their respective profile each with its own set of private notes. If this is right, which profile would they go to when they log in? The first one created?

I am looking at Chrome on an iPhone and don't see that problem, but I do see it in Safari. I will have to see if there's something I did outside of an "if this displayed on a mobile device" and then try to figure out why it's a problem on Chrome and not Safari.

There is a reason I don't do this for a living.
