account id vs email


Installation and Configuration

I was thinking, in the scenario I posted above, if I am a label A (power user), and I want to "post a song as" artist "xyz". Xyz is not a label artist. i.e. the label does not have full control of my profile. I just want to allow label A to post a song on my profile, but not have access to the other songs which they did not publish.

In that case, I would grant "add songs" permission to Label A. When label A created a song, they could select "post as Artist XYZ". It would then appear on artist xyz page.

So, I guess you would have to modify any modules that displayed user name (e.g. comments, private notes, ???) with a button to select the profile to "post as". I think Facebook works this way when you have your own pages; you can post as your main profile or as the page.

Limited power users


Jamroom Developers

An earlier thread got me thinking about power users again. Wanted to get your thoughts.

Right now I have a quota for artists and a quota for labels. The label quota is a power user and they can create artist accounts.

Now, sometimes artists might release something under a label, in which case the label would create the artist account and upload the song. Sometimes the artist might be independent and release something on his own, or with another label.

I understand that I can link an artist's account and a label's account so that the label can administer the artist's account.

First question: Is this the same as if the label had created the profile themselves? i.e. is a profile created by a power user and a profile created by a different account and then linked the same relationship? I would think whoever created the profile first is the profile "owner".


The bigger problem is for an artist that works with multiple labels. How do you give another user access to your account in order to create content, without giving them the ability to manage all of it.
Ideally, what I would like to do is link content instead of profiles. I.e. if I am a label, and an artist has given me permission to publish to their page on their behalf, when I upload a song, it appears on both their profile and my profile. I have full control over the ASSET, but not the profile. Do you guys see any way to develop something like this?

Yeah. I've always questioned user vs profile when building my modules as well. I tend to go with the profile name for one reason: power users. Power users control multiple profiles. The way I use power users is as a record label managing the profiles of various artists. They might have someone who manages the account of the artist. In that case, the label needs to perform actions ON BEHALF of someone. In those cases, you need to post on behalf of the profile owner.

I get that. What I'm trying to figure out is if it's possible for someone to use the system effectively without 'user name' and 'user image'. The user can log in with an email. But not sure how else the user name and user image are used. I think all other public facing modules would use their profile name and profile image.

Michael, What do you mean your email would be visible to everyone? I thought it's your profile name that is visible.

Brian, by accountid I'm talking about 'user name'; which is different than profile name. The feedback I got was that it was confusing and redundant. Confusing if the names were different. Redundant if the names were the same. I was thinking of just hiding the user name field and just having people log in and register with their email; possibly hide the 'user name' in account settings too.

The same applied to account image. They didn't understand why then needed to upload an account image if they already uploaded a profile image.

How do you customize the tiny MCE editor buttons?


Jamroom Developers

I'm finding that when a user excessivly formats their bio using the mce editor, their profile page ends up looking like crap

I want to limit the formatting options. e.g., I only want to allow some basic text formatting (bold/italic,underscore). No image uploads, color changes, or any of the other stuff. How do I disable buttons and functions in the editor.

The alternative is to replace the bio section in profile settings with a text box.
