Are notifications unique to a profile or an account?

Jamroom Developers

Yes, but those actions happen at the profile level as well, not at the user level. But the same can be said for the other notifications:
New pending follower
New Follower
Follower approved
New comment posted
Item liked
mentioned in actifity stream

All of these actions are performed on a profile. If you are a power user, and you have many accounts, you cannot decide which profiles you want notifications for; you have to get them for all, which, if you are a label with many artists, could be many.

On the other hand, if 2 accounts have access to a profile, it's much easier to agree which one gets sets the notification prefences. And again, if you were able to specify the notification address(s) and/or url, you would have granular control.

I can appreciate your intent, but I don't think you've really thought through a lot of the power user scenarios and the complexities it presents. As you said, I will have to customize this as well. Not sure how to do it though since many modules depend on it...

Installing the Proxima Bundle

Proxima

I saw that already. Doesn't really answer any of my questions. It also says proxima is "based" on Jamroom.

I'm very happy to see an API based approach to building Jamroom sites. However, to be perfectly honest, it seems like an acknowledgment of the difficulty in creating applications with the Jamroom 5 core. It seems proxima has its own site. It makes me question your commitment to the future of Jamroom and all of the development I have put into customizing it thus far.

I am trying to understand the path forward and how proxima ties in to my existing platform and code and how we would use it in the future. So

1.Is it possible to use proxima to create api's for custom modules? If so, is there documentation on doing so? I am trying to understand if be able to use the api's for my custom modules and how.

2. Can you specify what functionality is NOT available in the API VS JR 5 core and vice versa.

3. What does this mean for the future development of the JR5 core?

Installing the Proxima Bundle

Proxima

I'm confused by the relationship between JR 5 and Proxima. Can proxima be considered JR 6?

It actually seems like you would be building your skin/app with the proxima api instead of the old JR php code. Does this mean there is no further development of the php core and you will focus on the api's going forward?

I s there a comparison between functionality available in the core vs via api?

How do we extend the api's for custom modules?


I have a ton more questions, but you cannot be surprised. This is a pretty major announcement and there is very little documentation.

Are notifications unique to a profile or an account?

Jamroom Developers

The same way your profile settings work (e.g. payout address). You have multiple accounts but you have some settings that are specific to the profile (profile name, profile picture, payout address). All these fields are profile dependent even though multiple accounts can access it.

You can have multiple accounts, but you are changing the settings for the selected PROFILE. You would probably have to specify the notification email in the notification settings instead of using the email tied to the account. This would have the added bonus of being able to send notification to a group if you wanted to (or multiple recipients). It would be much more flexible.

As a bonus, the notifications could also be sent to a callback url that would allow other actions to be triggered once a notification is received.

Although, if i had a wish list, this would also be linked to the profile. I can see the label only wanting alerts for their profile, and not the artists.

Sorry one more question. I user D later signs up, and we link profile D to it, do both users get the notifications?

What if user a, a power user, creates profiles b,c, and d.


And in the notification settings, we have elected to be notified when we have a new follower.

Artist profile D gets a new follower. (note there is no other user to manage profile d). Does user a get a notification of user D's new follower?

So if you are logged in as a power user, do you get notifications for ALL linked profiles? or just the main power user profile?
