Add notification triggers?

Using Jamroom


Option 2 would work for me if that update were applied to both the Video module and the Gallery module. With my tiny group, I'd actually prefer it NOT be connected with Profile Follow. I'd rather it stand alone for maximum notification.

Option 3 would work too, maybe even better, simpler.

Not a problem for my tiny group, but I understand it could be for others. In my little site, things can get quiet for weeks. If someone comes in and posts a photo, I want everyone to know so they can come in, comment, and learn.

How much might it cost to "sponsor a module"? Don't know whether that's within my capacity, but it's a great idea. We'll see if anyone else expresses interest.

Is there a way to turn off all notifications globally or by quota on my test site?

Using Jamroom

I've cloned my site so that I can experiment with updates and changes on a test site before making those changes to my live site. Since all my user data/settings are now the same in the test site as in the live site, users are set to receive notifications by email of many kinds of site activity. I'm concerned about accidentally sending a notification to someone while I'm experimenting on the test site. Don't want that to happen.

So is there a way to turn off email notifications for everyone? Or can I only do it user by user?

imported events showing oldest first (how to reverse this order?)

Ning To Jamroom

I don't know about switching the order, Holly (and not sure you'd really want to do that because then the next upcoming event wouldn't be on top). But you can hide the past events in the Event Calendar module's Global Config. Just uncheck the box "Show Past Events." See screenshot.

I agree. Jamroom support is truly THE BEST!

Make a more compact Latest Activity list on my home page

Design and Skin Customization

Okay, so to do this in Site Builder, what's the template code I need to put in the custom box?

The default code is {jrCore_list module="jrAction" order_by="_created desc" limit="30"}

Nothing there refers to the images, which show up as "icon" size. How would I insert a parameter controlling image size and thus compacting the list? Searching through various templates, I'm thinking I need something like this: type="user_image" size="72" crop="auto"

but have no idea if that's right and what other pieces are needed.

Trying to learn by doing. Thanks for your help.

Add notification triggers?

Using Jamroom

Yes, by email. I already have an item list widget on the home page, which is great if you're already there. But an email serves as an invitation to come visit the site when you're not there. I'm referring to the Notifications settings each user has on their profile (screenshots attached).

In the same way a user might want to be notified by email of new forum posts in watched categories so that they can visit the site to participate in relevant conversations, we would also like the option to be notified of new photos so that we can participate in the conversations that start from them. Because we're an art group, more than half our discussions start with a photo post rather than a forum post.

header issues: inserted logo is 'squished'

Ning To Jamroom

Holly,
In addition to what Strumelia mentioned, I also found a line in the NingJa skin's header.tpl template where the dimensions of the logo are determined. I played with those to stop my own logo from appearing distorted. It looks like this:

{jrCore_image image="logo.png" width=238 height=60 alt=$_conf.jrCore_system_name custom="logo"}

The 238 and 60 are my numbers. Yours will be different. I'll be interested to learn if there's another way.

I don't know anything about putting a logo on the right. I imagine it would require writing some new code in header.tpl

Add notification triggers?

Is there any way I could add an option to be notified when someone I’m following posts a new gallery image or video?

Make a more compact Latest Activity list on my home page

Design and Skin Customization

Just a couple more questions and then I may be set for a good long while. Yay! My site is looking good and functioning well. Now I'm just fine tuning!

I'd like to move the sitewide Activity List to the top of my home page IF I can make it look more compact. I'm imagining a more compact appearance by making it display smaller profile images. Right now, it displays the "icon" size image and I'd like to try it at "72" instead.

Can I do this with custom template code in my Site Builder widget? (My home page is built on Site Builder.) Or do I have to modify a template? I'm hoping to change the appearance of the Activity List on my home page without affecting the appearance of individual Profile Timelines (the activity list on each Profile page).

Adding "View All" links beside selected Lucid list module titles.

Oh, I've wanted to do this too! This part's a bit beyond my skill level, but I'll figure it out:


Step by step... Thanks, Michael and Tat!
