My site will not offer account types- everyone will have the same account type except the Admin...
So how do I delete this field?
I have it currently disabled- but when I try to sign in as a new user I get an error message that says something about needing to select an account type..( but the field is disabled and not showing on the form) how do I get rid of this feature?

Goto ACP=>Users=>User Accounts=>Quota and make sure that only the quota you want new users to signup to is set for 'Allow Signups'.
Then re-enable the field in the form designer. If there is only one quota signup option it will not show anyway.

Thanks- I tried that but still getting this message
"Invalid Signup Account Type - please ensure you are choosing a valid Signup Account Type"
The field is enabled and does not show up if I am creating a new account.....if I am signed in as admin- and click on create account the field is then visible...am I doing something wrong?

How many quotas do you have setup for signups? If you only have one, then the quota selection will not show to anyone, except maybe the master admin.

That screen shot shows your allowing signups to the Admin quota. At the top of that form, there is a drop down selection of quotas, "Selected Quota", go through each one in that drop down selection and turn on/off the ability to signup.

Yes I know- but in the screenshot I have also selected "apply to all quotas"...I also when and checked each after this

You'll need to modify each quota separately, if you make the same changes to all quotas, then all quotas will be registered enabled. Unless that is what your after?

If you want just one signup quota, then you'll have to turn off signups for the rest of the quotas.

Yes that was what I was after in the screenshot-originally I had Ning members et to instant validation and new members set to email validation etc...but when getting the error and troubleshooting I allowed the same sign in quota to all users-to test and see if i still got the error ( which I am) because i seem to be the only one with this problem I am thinking there must be some changes made in the form editor which are causing this
Just seems like as admin you should be able to delete this option if its not needed
Thank you for your help

Well I just got it working by adding another field to the form ( not sure why that fixed it) But this brings up a similar question..
I want user's to be forced to upload a profile photo so I added this with the form and made it required- just then when I created a new test account and succeeded I added a photo- but when I get to my new profile page - I have no photo?
Any help for this?

Did you name your form field user_image?

I would imagine if you wanted them to upload an image at signup, then you would need to use user_image as the field name, however I just tried it and it didn't work for me. You may need to wait on Brian to answer this, but it looks like uploading an image at signup is not possible.

There's no way for a file to be uploaded on sign up - it's not supported (and would be difficult to make work).

Sorry!

The issue is one that the upload file function wants the user to be logged in before allowing them to upload stuff to it.

That upload should have failed.

Not sure why it didnt fail then- but its failing now....I will try to get a new module made that maybe replaces the old sign up form with a new one ( as a module) I ahve ALWAYS requied users to upload a profile photo since the beginning to avoid having a bunch of default profile photos all over the place because they look really bad

@derrickhand300

Maybe it can make sign up a 2 step process- fill out the normal form for sign up- then instead of being sent to your profile page- instead be sent to a page that has a profile image up loader- when that complete you then land on the profile page....possible?

Or maybe have a "default" profile image that chooses a random image from say 30 that i have uploaded"...a page full of ? mark profile photos or just 1 image repeating all over the place is unacceptable to me

( set all new profiles to admin validate so I can check to make sure they uploaded the photo BEFORE allowing the profile)

You could set require_image="profile_image" in your jrCore_list calls.

You should just make sure the "Require Images" option is checked in your skin config.

If Require images is ON, then only items with images will be shown in lists - as long as:

require_image="profile_image"

is set (change "profile_image" to "audio_image" for audio lists, etc.).

Right now what I have is...
If I am signed in as admin and use the CREATE ACCOUNT- it will allow me to upload an image- although I have no idea where it is going
If I am logged out the image upload fails...

It just seems like I could be able to do 2 things
1- change the quota somehow so anyone logged out could create an account that allows image uploader to work
2-Redirect the image they upload from wherever its going now ( I dont know)- and redirect to

<input type="button" value="?" class="form_button form_help_button" title="expand help" onclick="$('#h_profile_image').slideToggle(250);">

or whatever place is appropiate

It goes into the media directory for the profile - i.e.

data/media/1/(profile_id)

That is correct - you cannot upload any file when logged out.

This will not work.

File uploads don't work when logged out and really can't with how Jamroom deals with media.

Sorry!

No worries - just don't want you to spend too much time on it when it's not going to work using the JR functions.

sorry- one more question related to this...
If a user creates their account using something like oneall social log in- does it use their profile photo from their social network account- or does it use JR default?
I tried to test but I am out of email addreses- thought maybe someone using oneall will know

Yeah JR will try to grab the image for the user depending on the network they signed up from (i.e. FB, twitter, etc.) It does not always work since it depends on the user's privacy settings, but it does work most of the time.

One thing to check out is the Gravatar module:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/51/gravatar-images

we use it here on Jamroom.net as it will setup "default" type images for users that have not uploaded an image.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks- I will check it out
It would be a good solution if it allows me to add maybe 10 default images and it picks them random for the users...
I just got to break up a display of several of the same default images all in a row...so they at least look different...
Going to study it now- thanks again

Use the gravatar module - it does just that.

^^ brian's option is the best, use gravatar module to give them a non-interesting image until they upload their own.

If you absolutely have to force them to upload an image, a better solution than trying to put it on the signup form which wont work because they aren't logged in, is to make the profile image required on their "Profile Update" page, and redirect them to that page if they don't have a profile image.

sweet! was looking for just this ^^^ to require images upon signup.
keywords/ require image on signup form
require profile image require artist image

The best option I have found is to make a folder on your desktop called profile photos and fill it with pictures- when someone joins without a profile pic g to their account and upload one for htem...done it a dozen times now

The gravatar plugin should be able to assign just a random pic though right. About to install it an have a look. Im on fence still if its best to make them upload a profile pic or just let them get into the site as quick as possible to hook them. Will update if i come up with anything interesting.

[EDIT k gravatar generates random images to an extent, but you're limited to the following types (posting for fyi, also visible in module manager and gravatar site)

404: do not load any image if none is associated with the email hash, instead return an HTTP 404 (File Not Found) response

mm: (mystery-man) a simple, cartoon-style silhouetted outline of a person (does not vary by email hash)

identicon: a geometric pattern based on an email hash

monsterid: a generated 'monster' with different colors, faces, etc

wavatar: generated faces with differing features and backgrounds

retro: awesome generated, 8-bit arcade-style pixelated faces

blank: a transparent PNG image (border added to HTML below for demonstration purposes)
