I created a tips file for a custom module I got it to working but it only shows up for the admin.

I looked into the file and the only thing I could find was this:

 switch ($_inf['group']) {
                    case 'master':
                        if (!jrUser_is_master()) {
                            continue 2;
                        }
                        break;
                    case 'admin':
                        if (!jrUser_is_admin()) {
                            continue 2;
                        }
                        break;
                    case 'power':
                        if (!jrUser_is_power_user()) {
                            continue 2;
                        }
                        break;
                    case 'multi':
                        if (!jrUser_is_multi_user()) {
                            continue 2;
                        }
                        break;
                    case 'visitor':
                        if (jrUser_is_logged_in()) {
                            continue 2;
                        }
                        break;
                    default:
                        if (!jrUser_is_logged_in()) {
                            continue 2;
                        }
                        break;
                }

I assume this is checking the user group. What group is a standard artist?

Standard artist would have a user account, so case default would seam to be right, no?

So why are users not seeing the tour but the admin is?

try printing $_inf[ 'group' ] to the screen so you can see what group they are in.

But there are no quota settings. I'm not understanding why EVERYONE isn't seeing the tour. I'm confused by this group thing. What's the purpose?

The group defines who should see the tip - i.e. "admin" would be admin users, etc. Note that tips will NOT show to users who are not logged in.

If you are logged in, and you're not seeing a tip you think you should see, make sure the view and selector are correct (use Firebug to inspect and make sure the selector you are using is a valid, matching jQuery selector).

I don't see any issues with the setup here.

Hope this helps!

My question is why is it only showing up for the admin. My selector is not changing.

I'm not sure - is the view only accessible by the admin?

Yes sir. It's basically a create audio page. It's a custom audio module.

I log in as a user and see the page just fine. Just no tour.

Cookies cleared.
user settings turned on.

If I log in as admin I see the tour.

Have you ever logged in as the user before and click on the "hide tours"? Go into the settings for the user account and make sure the "show tours" option is checked.

Hope this helps!

I have have never seen the tour logged in as a user. Neither has my client.
"Show tours" is checked.

so what was the value of $_inf[ 'group' ] when you're logged in as the normal user?

I took a look at the code for modules using jrTips, and it looks like it is only being used for admin modules - I couldn't see any example of how to implement tips for different user groups (apart from the tip for a not logged in user on first install).

My guess would be that if you don't use a group it will show to everyone (it's a guess because I couldn't see any examples of using "group" apart from for the not logged in user on first install, which is for group "visitor"). Does it work if you don't use a group Nate?

You guys are making this far more complicated than it needs to be.

What does that mean? I'm not using ANY group. I just made a tour and want users to see it. Only the admin is seeing it. Am I the only who's attempted viewing a tour as a user?

We're trying to help. We're not sitting in front of your computer, so we need to ask questions to try to find out why it is not working.

This is your problem. If you do not define a group field, it defaults to master. Set "group" = "user" and it will work. I just tested here and had no issues.

Thanks!

Are there any docs on this? How do I use a group? I see no use of a group in the one tour I could find to use as a reference.

Just add a group key - i.e.

array(
    'view'        => "{$murl}/admin/global",
    'selector'    => '.form_admin_search',
    'title'       => 'Find what you\'re looking for',
    'text'        => 'Quickly find any Global Setting, Quota Config or Tool by using the <strong>admin quick search</strong> field.',
    'position'    => 'bottom center',
    'group'       => 'user',
    'my_position' => 'top right'
),

I'm assuming you've created a tips.php script in your module directory? Check out the jrCore/tips.php file for a lot of examples.

Let me know if that helps.

Thank you.

It might be helpful to throw a little ledger at the top of the module so developers can know whats required. I spent the better part of 2 days navigating my way through and still ended up here harassing you guys.
