Debug does not work for me - puts everything in-line, not in a pop-up.

I think the template I am looking for is:

modules/jrGroupDiscuss/templates/index.tpl

Line 11:
        {jrCore_list module="jrGroupDiscuss" order_by="_item_id numerical_desc" pagebreak="10" page=$_post.p pager=true}

If I want to order the display by when discussions are updated (which includes adding comments) I need to replace the

order_by="_item_id numerical_desc ...

with

order_by="insert_the_right_variable_here desc ...

What's the value for " insert_the_right_variable_here "?

You'll want to put the debug in the index_list.tpl file for the module.

Try: order_by="_updated desc"

I have a much different problem here - same URL problem as in jrForum on the home page in reverse: maybe.

URL for Groups: http://www.thechocolatelife.com/groups

Click on the top group (Startup Central)

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/clay/groups/3/startup-central

Click on " View All "

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/clay/group_discuss/group_id=3

There are no discussions.

Edit the URL to:

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/group_discuss/group_id=3

And there are now discussions - but they are not limited to the Startup Central Group.

It should probably be like this:

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/clay/group_discuss/3/startup-central

We'll check it out.

Thanks!

Thanks for taking a look at it. I have no idea where to begin figuring out a solution.

In your modules/jrGroup/templates/item_detail.tpl change this:

<h3>Discussion Forum</h3> &nbsp; <strong><small><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$ndurl}/group_id={$item._item_id}">View All</a></small></strong>

to this:

<h3>Discussion Forum</h3> &nbsp; <strong><small><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$ndurl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.discuss_title_url}">View All</a></small></strong>

Let me know if that fixes it.

Thanks!

No. It did not. It ended up directing me to the following page:

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/clay/group_discuss/3/

which is a single discussion - see the screenshot.

And I have to admit I am still not getting the hang of the module hierarchy. I instinctively thought jrGroup, but jrGroupDiscuss.

But, I guess, this element is in each Group's page so it has to sit up one level above what happens within each discussion.

I have reverted the change if you go looking.

This is still an important and outstanding issue for me. I'd like to get it wrapped up.

TIA.

You know, I just checked this on my dev site and I'm not seeing any issues. The View All link works as it should and the list on the profile index page all link to the correct discussion.

Try changing your group module URL back to group and see if it works for you then. It may have something to do with that.

This URL:

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/clay/group_discuss/group_id=3

should be working - it's the correct URL. For example - if you go here:

http://demo.jamroom.net/jrNingja/demoadmin/group/1/test-group-one

and click on "View All" you see the (one) post in the group.

So something else here is keeping the discussion group topics from showing.

Have you customized the jrGroupDiscuss/templates/item_index.tpl file?

On Groups page, select Group: http://www.thechocolatelife.com/clay/group/13/diy
On selected Group, click all: http://www.thechocolatelife.com/clay/group_discuss/group_id=13

This page is empty.

Yeah we can see that from here. The URL is correct though, so we need to figure out what is keeping the posts from showing. Are the posts to be found anywhere on the site? Or are they missing everywhere?

Thanks!

Ahhhhhhh. A close look sees syntax error on the order_by - using non-existent names for things.

— instead of –

The first is shift-option-underscore the second is option-underscore. Depending on the editor and browser you are using these get rendered identically.

Fixed. Works. Closing this down.

Sounds like Safari ... I have problems with cut and paste from Safari since it also changes double quotes to be "tilted" double quotes (not sure what they are called) - but they are NOT the right double quotes.

Glad it is fixed.

I have pretty much deprecated Chrome for daily work, even though GMail works better in Chrome. I am bopping back and forth between Firefox and Safari to test things (multiple user accounts in different quotas), doing most (but not all) of my behind the scenes work in Firefox, but some in Safari.

Two different monitors ... little things can be hard to spot.

lol
