jrGeo_location usage

Using Jamroom

Yeah, the service is $15/mo. Sometime in the future I'm going to need something that is accurate by 2 train changes.

What would be useful is if jrGeo_location could display the distance between two zip codes. But I'd need accurate data for that as well, of course.

jrCore_list search with multiple values

Using Jamroom

I have a quota called Service. I have a field called profile_category which can have multiple values like "Dining,Bar Service,Catering".

I have a quota called Category with profiles named with the possible profile_category values (Dining, Bar Service, etc.). On these profile index pages I want to list 5 Service profiles with a profile_category value which equals $profile_name. For instance, on the Dining profile index page I want to list 5 Service profiles that have chosen Dining as a profile_category.

I can use search2="profile_category = `$profile_name`" as long as profile_category has only one value, but if a Service profile choose more than one category (like Dining,Bar Service,Catering) that won't work.

What's the answer?

jrGeo_location usage

Using Jamroom

Ha -- I think I'm after getting accurate results, which is presumably what anyone using this module is after.

This service appears to be accurate:

jrGeo_location usage

Using Jamroom

As I said, " these don't reflect where I'm actually at."

The information is wrong so it's useless. It's not even close. I'm in Utah. When I'm viewing from home it just sticks me in the middle of the U.S. This data above is when I'm at the office. Assuming I don't need to configure anything else, it doesn't appear to offer a reliable method to display relevant distance-related profiles to a user based on ip.

However, if I can feed a street address from profile information, compiling longitude/latitude and deriving a distance between two points, I could then display profiles within a certain circle of distance.

The doc examples show seeding ip's but since that seems unreliable, can we seed something else?

jrGeo_location usage

Using Jamroom

In the office I'm getting:

DMA Code 512
Metro Code 512
Area Code 410
Longitude -76.4394
Latitude 39.3343
City Middle River
Postal Code 21220
Region MD
Country Name United States
Country Code US
Country Code 3 USA

So I guess it's set up, but these don't reflect where I'm actually at. I'm guessing I need to do something else to make this useful?

jrGeo_location usage

Using Jamroom

I have jrGeo_location template code in my index.tpl template:
Which displays this:
DMA Code 0
Metro Code 0
Area Code 0
Longitude -97
Latitude 38
City
Postal Code
Region
Country Name United States
Country Code US
Country Code 3 USA

I've upload the city .dat file via the module's tools tab. Am I missing anything?

Eventually I want to be able to show profiles to users based on the user's location. If they're within a certain distance based on the profile's zip code would be great.

Profile Index display based on quota id

Design and Skin Customization

Thanks, Paul. I thought I had it this way at first, but evidently not. This works, of course.

Profile Index display based on quota id

Design and Skin Customization

I have a something I want to display in profile_index.tpl if a profile belongs to a quota ID of 1. When I code {if $profile_quota_id = 1} some text{/if} it displays "some text" on all profiles (which is not correct).

However, if I code {if $profile_quota_id != 3} it displays "some text" on profiles other than ID 3 (which is correct). But if I use this method I'd need to do something like {if $profile_quota_id != 3 || $profile_quota_id != 2 || $profile_quota_id != 4 etc} just to display this on quota ID 1 profiles. Is that the only way of doing this?

If not, what is the best way to do what I want to do?

foxycart upgrades

Suggestions

I am also interested in seeing this happen. I just came from the discussion here:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/suggestions/20953/merchandise-store

One addition I suggest is price variations. For instance +$2 for 3XL sizes. So for a t-shirt you'd want the possibility for multiple variations (color, size, brand) and assign price premiums to them (extra costs). So you have a base price and then possibility for premiums on variations.

Many cart systems also allow assigning images for variations so when a user chooses a color, that image is displayed. This would be an added nicety.

Creating a Tips profile

Using Jamroom

I wanted to create a profile named "Tips" but after entering the info it tells me the page can't be found. But if I browse profiles the Tips profile shows in the profile list, so the profile is actually created, it just can't be accessed. Then I realized there's the jrTips module which probably causes domain.com/tips to be off limits.

I wonder if this is something Jamroom should check for?
