Email validation for new members, an incomplete error message, and incomplete activation link message


Using Jamroom

The best thing to do is to design your quota system to be as simple as possible. It will become more complex over time anyway (in response to actual needs).

Why do you need to downgrade them? Just make location and work_interests search conditions in your jrCore_list calls. Your members without a location etc will then not show up, no-one will find them, they won't log in, they don't take up space, they are just inactive accounts.

I don't know what the figures are now, but in 2013 Business Insider reckoned that of 883 million Twitter accounts 651 million were inactive. Twitter doesn't waste energy deleting accounts that haven't entered a location or logged in for 5 years, those accounts just don't get listed anywhere or seen by anyone.

Using Jamroom

That is the problem with putting up barriers to easy signup - you get a lot more people who don't complete the sign up process.

Wouldn't it be better to make the signup really easy, then not list or reduce features on profiles which haven't entered your extra required info?

Users just click on the link and their account is activated. They don't need to enter anything else to complete registration.

How to change order of Chapters in Documentation? (and related questions)


Using Jamroom

It's very simple - you click on them, drag them to where you want, then drop them.

Chapters are the caategories you put the docs into.

Try making 3 or 4 empty pages and play around with it for a few seconds. I'm sure you will understand it all then.

How to use the Terms of Service Module? Documentation does not seem complete


Using Jamroom

You can name the pages whatever you like. Name them the same or name them differently.

Just like it says in the docs, you must set the page to be visible on the Main Site. That is why you can't see your terms page on your admin profile.

Profile clone module


Suggestions

A while back I wrote a module which cloned a custom module item for moving between profiles. It was a bit of a pain to write, and whenever I added features to the module I needed to rewrite the cloning module. It created a zip file which could be uploaded to another profile and recreate the item (the item was complex with images, pages, text etc).

Now, with a differently structured site and different set of custom modules I need to do something similar, different but not a million miles away - basically create a backup of an entire profile and content to a different (new) profile.

Probably a total fantasy idea, but right now a profile clone module (clones items, media, settings, custom module items and media, everything) is something I'd like a lot!!!

It did occur to me that something like this might be possible using the DB Backup module, just change the profile id to a new one - is that something that anyone has tried already?

Thanks for any advice or info!
