I did that... Then how does the hosting team send a private note? I can't figure out where that would be.

Help! How do I make Private Notes work?
Using Jamroom
I would like to be able to send private notes to individual members. I would also like to give my hosting team the ability to do that with new members. I have already created a quota specifically for the hosting team. Can you tell me how to set that up? I can't seem to figure out how private notes work.

Groups: how to receive notification of new member applying for a private group
Ning To Jamroom
I have a private group that is attached to a profile that is linked to several accounts of members. when anyone tries to join that group, I (as the master admin, I guess) get an email with that request but the members that are linked to the profile for that group don't get an email.
So how do I set it up so that the members linked to that profile get the email that there is a new group applicant? and yes, their notifications are set up to receive an email with "new group applicant"

How do I setup a "sandbox" ?
Ning To Jamroom
Is it possible for us to try out some new design stuff for our site in a "sandbox" type of situation? I'm not a designer - I focus on community engagement. However, I have someone who is willing to play around with the look of our site. I'm just not sure how much I can let her play around with it without fearing that we can't go back to what we have. Any thoughts on how to proceed?
thanks!

How to limit length of update in Timeline Posts?
Ning To Jamroom
Hi Michael -
I found this in the template code for item_list.tpl in the templates for the timeline module:
{$item.action_text|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|jrCore_strip_html|truncate:160}
Should I leave that? or replace it with the code you gave me:
{$item.action_text|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|truncate:{$_conf.jrAction_max_length|intval}}
Or do something else with it?
Again, I want to limit the amount they type into the timeline update to 140 characters.
Thanks!
Deb
michael:
That "Max Update Length" will show in the textbox as they are typing counting down to the 0 for the number of characters they are allowed to use.
But its not enforced, so if they do go over it, it will still display by default. It just sets a config variable:
that can be used if desired. Most of the default skins don't use it.
If you want to enforce it, adjust the jrAction -> TEMPLATES -> item_list.tpl -> MODIFY
from this:
to
That will force the sting to truncate at the set limit.

How to be notified about new members?
Ning To Jamroom
I would like our "stewards" (they're our welcome team) to receive notifications when a new member has been approved. But I can't quite figure out how to make that work. I tried setting the notifications for one of them as shown on the file below but she didn't get a notice when someone joined or when that new person was approved. What to do???
As the master admin, I get notifications for new members but I don't want to make all our stewards master admins.

How to change the dates of the Discussion Forum feed on our main page?
Ning To Jamroom
paul:
I'm guessing then that the template is showing the items '_created' date and time and not its '_updated' date and time, so open up the relevent template and look for something like - $item._created inside the 'foreach' loop that shows each entry, then change it for $item._updated

I'm still having problems with this one, Paul. Tried what you suggested but it hasn't changed it. Maybe I should submit a ticket for help? Or do you want me to post my template code here?
How to limit length of update in Timeline Posts?
Ning To Jamroom
I'd like to make sure that our members are not posting blog-length updates on their timelines. How do I limit the number of characters in their updates? (see attached) I think I've already the characters, but one of our members posted a very, very, VERY long update last week.

Online Events - how to deal with different time zones?
Ning To Jamroom
I'm still wondering about this....
Deb W.:
Where do you put the timezone? I don't see a field for that in my template for events (see attached). I'd be happy to add a field for the if there is one to add... Should I just add a text field that a person can fill in? Or is there a timezone options (similar to the choices it gives you for the date & time)?
I'm trying to make it as simple as possible for our members (who are located around the world) to add their own events - whether they are face-to-face events or online events... and then for other members to translate the time to wherever they are located.
