"Embed local media" works easily for images, oddly for files

Using Jamroom

OK... I think this is enough for me to know at the moment. I'll call this solved.

Thanks!

Thanks for all the above.

How exactly do the images disappear? Is it because they don't show up in search results? Or is it because an image embedded in a discussion post might easily be deleted by the user or moderator? Or because it just disappears down low in an old thread, as usual for posts in discussion threads?

Is there any issue with spam checking? If a text is in the network as a pdf or docx File attached to a profile, will it be scanned by in house spam checking? If the same is embedded in a discussion thread, will it evade spam detection?

I understand JR is not designed primarily as a text publishing platform, and that's fine. There are plenty of other platforms dedicated to that purpose.

I'm just wanting to understand the ways and means, and pros and cons, of displaying texts on JR.

OK... in my case I can use an Archive profile to store stuff, and then display it selectively elsewhere.

If the musician, for example, stores tracks in their profile File area, but then displays them elsewhere, will the multiple locations be found in the site global search? That might not be a desired result.

As Admin, I suppose I can make an invisible (and non-searchable?) archive as a storage area.

"Embed local media" works easily for images, oddly for files

Using Jamroom

With editor thingy in a Group discussion, I can upload an image from anywhere on my computer. But for a file (e.g. pdf document) I have to upload it somewhere else in the Research Cooperative, on a profile that has been given permission to upload files, and then attempt to cross-load it from there.

For some reason this did not succeed, though the system tried, inserting this code on the page, without actually linking to the pdf file (in square brackets): "jrEmbed module="jrFile" id="12", and without telling me that there is no file to embed (there is a local file to embed, I confirmed the upload to my Archive profile, and saw it there when I tried to embed in the file into the discussion text).

Why doesn't embedding of files follow the same pattern as images, and allow embedding direct from my computer, rather than through the intermediate step of uploading to an (unwanted) holding pen inside my network?

Is it possible to use the Mailgun list of "Bounces and Failures" to move unused accounts offline, or out?

Using Jamroom

Yikes! A lot of good changes to learn about with the latest module updates.

Thanks all.

Um. I can see the column with user logins, but the order is according to signup ID at left. I don't see any obvious "column sort" toggle... ??

I second everything Strumelia has construed!

Newsletter Module Custom Filter Question?

Using Jamroom

I have locations recorded in the standard Profile form, but only have data if members add the information.

Locations are also associated with IP addresses of members, I suppose, since they are shown when recipients respond to newsletters (but not elsewhere with the map view).

See for example https://yoursite/mailer/campaign_result/10 (if you are using the mailgun newsletter mailing system)

I can also see IP addresses in the dashboard

https://your site/core/dashboard/activity

I presume filters for location could be based automatically on IP addresses found for all users, or for locations submitted by users in a form.

In any case, all options for being able to define the receiving group for email messages from admin to a member base are valuable. JR already provides a good range of options, but other options based on user-identified location, user IP address, date range for date of joining, date range for last login, and so on would be potentially useful, for different purposes.

Maybe it's not easy to set up for all JR sites as standard admin tools.

Just dreaming on

creating an unlisted admin Page

Using Jamroom

To manage my JR site, I have an entire archive of stuff that is unlisted and offsite.... it's in a Dropbox cloud account, along with much else from work and home. All my day to day activities are accessible from anywhere. This helps as I travel a lot for work.

To minimize cloud storage expenses all my photographic archives are NOT in cloud storage, but are in two different hard-drives, in two different locations, and each of those hard-drives has automatic mirroring to an attached double. The travelling generates a lot of photographs!

Why not set everything up on eBay, if that is where the item is being sold?

I am not familiar with selling on eBay. Is there an advantage to having the information located outside eBay?
