Making Guestbook Visible to All Visitors

Using Jamroom

Was testing guestbook today and it was having a lot of other issues as well, where comments were not going up and info was not registering in datastore etc.

When I have a chance I can make a more detailed list.

Making Guestbook Visible to All Visitors

Using Jamroom

Currently 'Profile Guestbook' tab/page is only visible to logged-in users.

Is there any way to make it visible to all visitors including those that are not logged in?

Ability to sign page should remain limited to logged in visitors only. However if everyone was able to see the page, it might give more visitors a motivation to create an account. Currently they do not even know a guestbook page exists since they can not see it.

Thanks,

Passwords Not Going Trough to Foxy Cart

Installation and Configuration

Yes tested, it now goes to the original account with that email instead of creating a new one.

That helps a lot.

Thanks

Applied update, ran integrity, cleared caches but in Issue#4 still getting...

"That email address doesn't belong to any previously saved accounts. Please enter a password below to create a new account."

Just a note...

If a user is logged in (Status #1) and goes to checkout, entering his email and gets the message "You are already logged in. If you'd like to complete this transaction as a different user please logout and try again."

Then even if transaction is not completed, this user would from now on have a status of #3 (Logged out with JRsite Account that previously did a FoxyCart Purchase) and not #4 (Logged out with JRsite Account that never did a FoxyCart Purchase).

There are 4 possible scenarios I can think of... here is what happens...

1 - Logged in User

Already logged in sees: "You are already logged in. If you'd like to complete this transaction as a different user please logout and try again." All is good.

2 - Logged out with no JRsite Account

Obviously email is not recognized "That email address doesn't belong to any previously saved accounts. Please enter a password below to create a new account." A password is entered. Then after transaction is done a new JRsite account with this email is automatically created and a new JRsite password is emailed to you. All is good.

3 - Logged out with JRsite Account that previously did a FoxyCart Purchase

It recognizes email "Your account was found from a previous transaction. Please enter your password below to retrieve your previously saved information." You then enter your original FoxyCart password (assuming you held on to it) and it says "Your account information was retrieved successfully.". All is good.

4 - Logged out with JRsite Account that never did a FoxyCart Purchase

You enter your JRsite email but it does not recognize it. It says "That email address doesn't belong to any previously saved accounts. Please enter a password below to create a new account." So you put in a password and complete that transaction. This now creates a new JRsite user with account & profile name using the First and Last name of buyer, that has that same email. There are now two JRsite user accounts that share the same exact email. Now aside from all the confusion that this will cause the user, it also inflates the system with many useless accounts.

I know there is an option to force site login before any person can checkout but that can complicate things for buyers and hinder sales.

Email Rating Alerts

Using Jamroom

Yes, the user quota of those I was testing with was set to "Approval on Create and Update" by JRvideo.

Spam = A user can go to a proxy service (lets you flip ip's) and within minutes give himself dozens of 5 star ratings and boost all his items to the top of all rating based lists. Know you can limit rating to 'logged in users' only but that would greatly limit the amount of ratings site receives.

Therefore think it would be a useful feature to add, when you guys have time, to let the site admin get the alerts as well so he can keep on top of things.

Thanks,

Email Rating Alerts

Using Jamroom

Tested some more and here is what I have (ran integrity)

Logged Out User does Rating
Rate Song = admin no alert / profile owner gets alert
Rate Photo = admin no alert / profile owner gets alert
Rate Video = admin no alert / profile owner gets alert
Rate Profile = admin no alert / profile owner gets alert

Logged In User does Rating
Rate Song = admin no alert / profile owner gets alert
Rate Photo = admin no alert / profile owner gets alert
Rate Video = admin gets pending items alert (described previously) / profile owner gets regular rating alert
Rate Profile = admin no alert / profile owner gets alert

To summarize; profile owner always gets alert but admin does not (aside for video rating issue). It would be great if you guys when have a chance, if you can add admin rating alerts to the next update since it can help site owners monitor rating spam.

Then there is the issue with 'logged in user' video rating, that places the video on the 'pending item' list. Not sure why this happens.

Thanks
