Is it possible for new applicants to complete a profile form before their account has been approved?

@paul

This is the thread where the idea of (what I call) a Profile Completion Module came up.... or perhaps it should be generalized to a "Form Completion Module" to be of wider interest for JR networks?

Thanks

Thanks for the tip/reminder.

I have done this once before, using PayPal buttons to collect conference fees for a conference I organized. It worked well, but I will have to study how I made buttons for different fee levels.

My feeling is that it will be simpler to do using the JR implementation.


ps
Acting as a cash broker between service providers and customers might be a way to earn income, but not is not a job I want to undertake now. In fact, brokers (cash or otherwise) are needed in the world of publishing, but identifying and supporting dependable brokers would be a another major task!

Re the Q&A above:
1. Great.
2. Hmmm. Personally I am nervous about the idea of having an account that manages other people's money, but for actual commercial websites this should be good.
3. Great.

I think "PayPal Buy It Now" will have many uses.

I can imagine using it to set up a one-off donations page for my site. I can "sell" certificates in return for donations of different amounts.

This may be more cost-effective than Foxycart subscriptions option (in so far as people are able to use PayPal). This will depend on the nature of each site.

Thanks again,

That worked, but only after I unchecked the modules for "Service Shop" and "Merchandise".

The module for "PayPal Buy it Now" is still enabled, and the system did not ask me to uncheck that, so it must work independently from Foxycart,

These three modules work together:

Foxycart - our portal to diverse payment services (located in E-commerce module collection)
Service Shop - for selling services (located in the Profiles module collection)
Merchandise - for selling physical things (located in the Profiles module collection)

Key questions:

1. Can the individual profile owner set up a shop for services or things that utilizes Foxycart, independently from the site owner (Admin) - regardless of whether or not the site owner requires a percentage of sales?

2. How does the profile owner with a service shop or selling merchandise build a relationship with Foxycart?

3. I would like to change the Service Shop and Merchandise module settings so that they are located under E-commerce rather than under Profiles in ACP. Will this affect the function of these modules in any way?

I can see documentation for these three modules individually, but not any documentation that shows how they work together, from the point of view of the network owner, and from the point of view of the profile owner.

I now have only the "PayPal Buy it Now" Module enabled, the menu cart icon is gone (along with the horse!), but my profile on that quota cannot see any information related to PayPal. The profile form is is just a standard profile form as designed by me.

I may need to add a PayPal address field that displays only to my Shopfront quota for which PayPal has been enabled.

I will keep investigating. At least, by restricting my site to the PayPal Buy It Now, I should be able to discover how to set this up without being confused by Foxycart system.

FAQ module produces just one universal FAQ

Thanks very much!

Now fixed on my site with that detail!

"..disable the FoxyCart module whilst its not in use."

How exactly?

I already unchecked the "Allowed on Profile" option box on all quotas of the site.

Thanks

I am very gradually trying to learn how to use (or not use) Foxycart and PayPal on my JR site.

Today I tried to turn everything off, by dis-enabling the e-commerce modules across all quotas.

Despite doing this, there is still a cart icon in the main menu.

I don't want that to show while I am still trying to learn how to use the e-commerce options.

I also don't want to de-register from Foxycart, as I still hope to use it eventually.

FAQ module produces just one universal FAQ

Using Jamroom

In my installation of JR, which is the latest version with all updates, the FAQ module is producing a single FAQ that is shown by all profiles in all quotas for which the FAQ module is enabled.

This surprises me, because I expected the FAQ module would be like other modules that allow individual profiles in particular quotas to "own" their own features...

e.g.. when the Blog module is enabled for two different quotas, this does not create just one blog that appears on all profiles in both quotas... each profile owner "owns" the blog on their own page.

But in my case, the FAQ entries created in the FAQ of one profile appear in the FAQs of all profiles in all quotas for which the FAQ module has been enabled.

Is FAQ module meant to be a single FAQ to which many different authors (profile owners) can contribute?

I cannot see any controls that allow me to make the FAQ operate in a profile-specific manner. The only way would be for me to enable the module for just one quota, and then to create or allow just one profile on that quota.

My expectation was that a company setting up a profile in in a quota for companies could choose to use the FAQ to provide answers to questions about their own company.

Is there something odd about the installation of the FAQ module in my network, or is it not intended for multiple profile-specific and quota-specific uses?

Is it possible to clone a site builder page and all its content?

Suggestions

Hmm.

I guess I am looking for a magic button to duplicate a page inside Sitebuilder in a way that adds it directly to the module datastore alongside the existing page, with a new URL and a -copy suffix added to the file name/page title.
