Human check

Using Jamroom

Nevermind, got an explanation here http://codeumbra.eu/non-obtrusive-alternatives-to-form-captchas

Human check

Using Jamroom

This is more of general question.

I've never seen "human check used instead of captcha type tools. Can't the human check be easily fooled by bots. Seems like a very simple solution if it works so why does everyone use captcha instead of a simple checkbox?

Audio re-loading every time you change pages

Jamroom Developers

When somebody is playing something in the player and you change pages, the song has to re-load every time.

Is there any way to keep the player playing the current song when you change pages?

If not, is there any way to re-load the song from the user's local cache instead of re-requesting? It seems like a huge bandwidth suck if you have to re-request the track whenever someone changes pages. Currently, it seems only the view is cached.

Creating profiles in advance

Jamroom Developers

Thanks steve. Good ideas there.

Have to think some more on the profile name. I think the profile name is not really authoritative. It is very possible that the user has multiple profiles, goes by different names, or has multiple accounts.

Jamroom already has the ability to have multiple profiles linked to the same email. It seems your solution #2 would be more apt. So it seems what we would do is
1. send an invitation on behalf of a known email address. I would think that someone adding the track would have to a least know their collaborator's email. If not, they need to get that.
2. The invitee gets and email with their "claim account" link.
3. When they click the link, they update their password, update username, username, and agree to terms.
4. Account is linked to profile. confirmation is sent. User can continue to fill in/ complete their profile.

Creating profiles in advance

Jamroom Developers

I think you're on the right track. The profile would definately be invisible (until the user decides to make it public)
I also like the idea of the custom signup page. There are 2 open questions then in this scenario

1. how to you know to "claim" a specific profile. I.e. how do you know that profile x should be linked to email x?

2. after the person creates account, how do you make them update the profile name. Is it possible to make it look like it doesn't exist? My concern is that they don't update the name thay you created automatically. So if someone's email is wanker1234@gmail.com, and i autocreate a profile called wanker1234, we want to make sure they update it.

Private sharing

Using Jamroom

Food for thought. Thanks. Appreciated.

Private sharing

Using Jamroom

Is there any way to share media with a single user or private groups of users?

For example i want to share a song with only a group of friends?

Creating profiles in advance

Jamroom Developers

Had an idea, but don't know if it would work.

1. User enters the email address of person they want to invite.
2. Profile is created using random username (or perhaps the first part of the email address, before the @).
3. User goes to signup page and creates account using their email
4. presented Form to update their information including profile id.

In other words, is there a way to automatically link a new account to an existing profile?

Would that work?

Troubleshooting Oneall feeds

Using Jamroom

I was't sure if we needed to do that; which is one of the things i was trying to confirm.

But yes, that is exactly what i did. After supplying all of the information, it was denied twice.

The rejection message states:
"We could not see where your app is using this permission. In the 'Add Notes' section of your submission, please explain how and where this permission is used in your app. Review our instruction guidelines here."

In the notes of the submission i made, I stated the following step by step instructions:
"User first configures social network settings and approves app.
1. Go to their Account settings-->networks (image 1)
2. Click on Facebook icon
3. Sign in and approve publish actions (image 2)

When user publishes new media, they select which networks to post
1. From user profile page, create new song by clicking "+" in songs section
2. User uploads song and enters metadata.
3. There is a check box for "share to facebook" as well as twitter, g+, etc. (image 4)
4. When they submit, a link to their song page would be added on their FB wall."

I also provided screenshots of each of the pages.

So my question is, for anyone who has gotten approval what explanation did you have to provide to get approved?
