Hi guys,
Can I create a module using Aparna, so other users can be able to create items in any user profile?
How can i do this?

I just want to make new module of gifts to users.
For example, each user will be able to make a gift to a friend as a gift-image.

I tried to create a new module by the Aparna, but the Profile may be able to add items yourself in it.

This is about the most detailed HowTo on creating a module with aparna that we have:

"HowTo: Form Designer + Aparna = Custom Page Module with RSS feed"

This is one of the basic principles of Jamroom. When a profile creates something, they 'own' it, so its not really possible for a user to create something that belongs to another user.
What you would need to do is create a 'gift' module with Aparna then add a custom field (use the Form Designer maybe) so that the recipient of the gift can be named. You would then need to add a tool so that recipients could be notified and view their gifts.

Some coding would be required!!

@paul,
Is there a similar module in the Marketplace? I could alter it for my purposes. Or maybe are you planning to create a similar module?

if its a free module (MPL license) you are free to alter it and redistribute your altered module.
If it is a paid module (JCL license) you can alter it for your own purposes but not release or distribute that module.

Suggestion - Use Aparna to create your xxGift module, then the Form Designer to add the 'gift image' field to the create and update forms.
Then install the new Invite module (currently free in the beta channel) to 'send' the gift to its recipient(s).

@paul,

I can not find the "Invite module" in the Marketplace...
I'm using the jrCore 5.2.41. Jamroom beta channel I activated.

If your beta channel is activated it should be there (I see on my sites).
Do a search for 'Invitations'.

@paul,
I found the module. I think it's not a very good solution, unfortunately.

OK - Try this then - Create the Gift module with Aparna and add a field with the recipient's name, then then create a page that shows gifts received by the logged in user with somthing like this in the template -

{jrCore_list module="xxGift" search="gift_recipient = `$_user.profile_name`}

(set parameters to suit your module names)
