module search only seems to work in forrums

Ning To Jamroom


Have you tried google custom search? It can be very effective in the right circumstances.

the perfect groups disabling the profile header

Ning To Jamroom


I didn't, it's really difficult to decipher your posts and/or line of thinking.

Do you see the trash icon if you refresh your browser after making a post that you want to delete?

Jamroom.net redesign

Using Jamroom

Nice jamroom.net rejig Brian! And I hope the new subscription option works as well for you as it does for the joomla/wordpress skin/module vendor sites.

One thing I must say about the new jamroom.net home page though, I really don't like it when any website overrides the expected behaviour of my browser:
I can't control-click on the Jamroom Cloud link to open it in a new tab (expected behaviour). I can for a link like "Welcome to the new Jamroom.net!", that works as expected, but not the links to the various profiles - they offer different options in my FF context menu and unexpected behaviour if I behave normally (Firefox).

And when I cmd-click the Jamroom Cloud link the browser goes to the cloud page in the same tab (unexpected behaviour), whilst when I do the same for the Welcome link it opens in a new tab (expected behaviour).

jrImage_display crop=none ?

Design and Skin Customization

Everything image-wise is perfect, but there is one more thing...

I am passing a user choice of crop into a {jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" crop=$crop_choice ... and I'd like to offer a crop_choice of "no crop".

I can do this (of course) by duplicating the jrCore_module_function call in my templates surrounded by an "if $crop_choice == 'none' (run module function without crop parameter) else (run module function with crop parameter)". But it irks me to do that and it's the only way I can find to stop the crop=auto square from kicking in if no crop is desired.

Also, the user could select "width" or "height" (depending on the aspect ratio of their image) to get no crop. But that will add confusion, it's always difficult to explain an aspect ratio to an uninitiated user in a dropdown menu.

So unless I have missed something (very possible just after Christmas), I think I am asking for just one more additional crop parameter along these lines:
crop="none"
(Or for no error or crop to occur if crop="" in the jrCore_module_function call)

Thanks

changing Profile tabs wording

Ning To Jamroom

The menu item name will under Custom Language Strings on the modules lang tab.

So to change the text "blog" in the blog button, go to:
/blog/admin/language

Change the text to "News", scroll down and save.

The blog button on the profile menu will now say "News"

my 1st module creation help

Ning To Jamroom

To add a tab to the profile you can register a module feature with jrProfile, something like this in your module init function:
Profile Tweaks will probably be doing a similar thing to get it's profile_tab to appear.


Or for a quick test whilst coding your tab view (the view which will appear in the tab) you can edit or override jrProfile profile_tabs.tpl

my 1st module creation help

Ning To Jamroom

Difficult to read your post, I didn't make it all the way through.

Have you seen the documentation here:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development

From that list, for adding tabs there are two pages which might help:
"Adding an extra tab to my modules admin interface"
"Add a tab to the profiles"

Modifying email templates

Using Jamroom

They should be in the module templates directory:
email_yourfunction_message.tpl
email_yourfunction_subject.tpl

Or overridden in the skin directory:
yourModule_email_yourfunction_message.tpl
yourModule_email_yourfunction_subject.tpl
