Major Problem with Read More

Using Jamroom

OK great....updating now. As for reporting I will try to be less nervous in future Still suffering from Post Ning Traumatic Stress Disorder. Still re-adjusting to a culture where developers actually care about and take a pride in the platform

Many thanks For future reference ...if I come across a problem like this again should I open a ticket rather than banging on about it in public forums? I guess broadcasting problems with a megaphone is a legacy of my loooooong experience with Ning

Major Problem with Read More

Using Jamroom

Yes...I am running the Beta. Also I should report that the read more seems to be working again for the admin user. I ran the Integrity check and it seems ok now. The problem is with the AmeriCymru user... I note that the Blogs have disappeared from stats in the side panel as well -

This account had probs with the read more as of last night. Haven't tried it again this morning. Many thanks

Major Problem with Read More

Using Jamroom

Hi Derrick

I am using the standard readmore button in the editor to place the 'truncate'. Or at least I was because it is no longer functioning.

I have "Embed all html tags" checked and the youtube domain is allowed in the "allowed domains area".

This is very worrying because I have 4 or 500 blog posts to manually crop and paste from my old Ning site over the next couple of weeks. If however, I cannot tell what these will look like to logged out viewers ( more than 90% of my traffic ) because html tags are randomly stripped or altered and vids don't appear, its not immediately clear how I can proceed. Should I open a ticket?

I should probably update this. The situation at the moment appears to be that:-

1. I cannot save blog posts with a read more break. Everything after the read more does not display although it is still there if I open the post to edit.

2. When I am logged out posts with read mores appear with some formatting stripped ( in particular div border radius ) and paragraph formatting altered ( from justify to left or center ) - also YouTube videos do not display. Here is an example:- http://americymrunet.jamroomhosting.com/americymru/blog/4133/contemporary-welsh-language-pop-music-an-interview-with-aug-stone

In the above example, when I am logged in, the post appears with border radius intact, justified paragraph formatting and all YouTube vids displayed.

Here is a screenshot of the same post when viewed while logged in either as the master admin user or as the ordinary user account which I am using to repost the blogs with:-

Major Problem with Read More

Using Jamroom

I am in the process of transferring a large number of blog posts from my old Ning site to Jamroom at the moment and I thouought all was going well until I checked up on a few things earlier today. Several of the blog posts concerned contain YouTube embeds. I thought I had allowed this in the iframe control module BUT the embeds only show to the admin user.

When I use 'readmore' breaks in the editor the code remains but everything after the readmore break does not display in the blog post.

This appeared to be working ok a day or so back but has since gotten borked somehow. One or two earlier posts still show the content after the break but they re align text to left or center ( it was all justified ) and of course the YouTube vids are missing. What have I done wrong this time?

Adding Members To Groups Administratively?

Using Jamroom

Would love to try out the Invite module Although I wont be going live until late December or early Jan.

As far as the member add feature is concerned....yes I believe it would still be enormously useful.Having said that I can see the potential for abuse.It would need to be limited to site admins and not available to group creators imho

Adding Members To Groups Administratively?

Using Jamroom

Must admit I wasn't aware of that. How does the admins invite process work? Is it possible to start a new group and send out a mass invite to all members?

Adding Members To Groups Administratively?

Using Jamroom


Absolutely yes! Which come to think of it is probably why the option was only available on Ning to site admins on the members list page. BUT...might it not be possible to offer an invite button on the group page and administrative addition (for site admins only) via the ACP?

The idea being that if a site member creates a group he/she can invite other members ( maybe even a mass invite? ) BUT only site admins could add members or groups of members administratively.

This obviously presupposes that site admins can be trusted not to use this capability irresponsibly. Which, hopefully they can

Adding Members To Groups Administratively?

Using Jamroom

Ning 3 does this from a dropdown list on the members list page in the dashboard. Not the most convenient way imho. I was thinking more along the lines of an option to invite or add administratively from within the group itself . Dont know how practical that is.
