Is it possible to automatically display all profiles in a gallery?

Using Jamroom

There has been little discussion of this issue, as far as I can see.

The major role of social networks is to help people find each other. Like findng books in a library, one of the most effective and pleasurable ways is to browse the shelves.

Here the library will be a photo gallery, and we will need some kind of logical stucture in the shelf arrangements, with a basic set of search options...

First up - switch on the lights, then...

1. Search all profiles in a network gallery for all profles (simple and advanced search options).

2. Order profiles by newest, be alphabetical, by most viewed, etc.

3. Group profiles into sub-galleries according to profile category (as defined by the quotas)... and then apply 1 and 2 above within each gallery.

4. Allow exclusion of selected profile categories (quotas) and individual profiles.

That's just my wish list. Sorry I can't offer a zillion dollars to pay for all the coding. Is anyone out there working on a module or widget for all this?

Links to the Glossary should be ubiquitous

Using Jamroom

The new Glossary shown at

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started

is already useful... but who can know that it exists?

In the documentation section it is not-usefully placed at the bottom of the page where few people will scroll to it. A link to the Glossary should be at top and bottom of the Documentation page, I do believe .

And here in the Forum topic "How to Use Jamroom" it would be nice to have a hotline to the Glossary pinned to the top of the topics list.

In passing, I'd like to say that the "Pin" function, and "Pinning topics" is an extremely valuable feature of the Jamroom system, and deserves a glossary entry explaining where it can be used, and what happens when more than one thing is pinned to the top of a forum.

Can pinned items be set in a sequential rotation? Or can they be set to appear randomly from a set of pinned items? Sure it can be done with coding (I suppose), but this could be fun and useful for non-coding administrators to play with, if an options menu could be supplied. Or maybe the options are already there...

Thanks.

All about the Poweruser - Glossary term request

Using Jamroom

Thanks for all the above. I'll push the green solved button.

All about the Poweruser - Glossary term request

Using Jamroom

Thanks. That explains the user perspective nicely. But now I am having trouble relocating the ACP location where I can activate and allocate quotas to a power user. I have come across this recently, and set up some power users, but only by chance. If I look for it, I cannot seem to find the control panel anywhere.

Now trying the route you have given above...

All about the Poweruser - Glossary term request

Using Jamroom

Please explain "Poweruser"

1. Where does the Admin set it up?
2. How can the User use it? (What powers can they acquire?)

And can the glossary have a search field? The alphabetical arrangement is good, but a search field might be handy as the list gets longer.

Glossary is here: https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/2568/glossary

No Land for Small Words - No ifs, buts, and ors in Lowercase?

Using Jamroom

Thanks.

My plan is to go as far as I can without touching CSS, just to develop the basic organisation of my site, and then pay someone to make any CSS changes that are needed.

I should start making a list...

I found also that the Ningja skin is Sitebuilder ready, though I have yet to see how make a menu item a submenu. I'll watch the videos asap as I guess/hope they will explain this.

Site Builder modules - step by step guide to getting started

Using Jamroom

Hi Michael,

I'd like to visit, sure. Recently I was up in Shibuya at the Bunkamura Art Museum helping with an exhibition (botanical art - Banks Florlegium).

And at last, the simple answer to all my woes:

TO USE SITEBUILDER..

1. Install jrSlate Skin on your server, and make it the active skn.

In the Jamroom Marketplace there is a row of tabs to the right of the Modules that are shown by default. The second tab, which I noticed for the first time just now, is for Skins. jrSlate is in there.

Thanks, Peter

Using Jamroom

Is it possible to ask TITLES to accept upper and lower case?

Any settings for this, or is Jamroom...

Is the Ningja Skin ok for Non-Ning networks?

Ning To Jamroom

I'm wondering... if we start developing a site uisng the Ning-ja skin, will it pan out OK if we decide not to import everything from a Ning network, after all?

I can envisage wanting to import only the members from the Ning network, or doing it in just small-scale selected batches at first in order to get feedback.
