Hey Guys

I am almost happy with the music section of my site, see below, but am looking to add a new page that would show the user a list of the artists they are currently following.

I am sure this is possible giving how flexible Jamroom is but I just cant figure it out on my own at this stage.

Checkout the jrFollower_get_profiles_followed() function in the jrFollower include.php file.
Then try this in your template (untested but should work) -

{assign var="_following" value=jrFollower_get_profiles_followed($_user_id)}
{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" search="_profile_id IN `$_following|implode:","`"}

Tried that quickly as I am running out but it returns a blank page.

OK - Let me try it.
I guess its always a mistake to post untested code ;-)

It does work - see http://motagator.com/xxxx
Here's the code of xxxx.tpl -

{jrCore_include template="header.tpl"}
<div class="container">
{assign var="_following" value=jrFollower_get_profiles_followed(195)}
{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" search="_profile_id IN `$_following|implode:","`"}

</div>
{jrCore_include template="footer.tpl"}

I think the problem you have is the $_user_id variable in the jrFollower_get_profiles_followed function call. Note that I put in an absolute value just to test things. What you put there depends on how you are calling the page and what smarty user variables are available. If the page is called from a profile page, the _user_id could be passed in the URL so on the page would be available as a $_post array item.

Thanks will check on this tomorrow.

Just to outline a bit further what I am trying to achieve

This would be placed in a new template file and linked to from the music section, hence only wanting to show 'Artists' being followed.

Similarly there would be similar lists for other professionals ie Photographers, Models etc

See that middle section of code paul has in there.. its:

{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" search="_profile_id IN `$_following|implode:","`"}

which is just a normal {jrCore_list} call. You can ask for whatever you want with that.

So what you need to determine is how you are differentiating Photographers from Models and use that as a search parameter in the core list call.

If your using quotas, and quota 1 is for Photographers while quota 2 is for Models, and you want models, then add in:

search1="quota_id = 2"

Link to the "{jrCore_list}" docs for convenience:

Hi Michael/Paul

Yes I figured that bit out, thanks, the only issue now is that $_user_id returns no results despite it showing as one of the items available in the {$user} array in debug.

The code I have is this.

{assign var="_following" value=jrFollower_get_profiles_followed($_user_id)}
{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" quota_id=$_conf.gmLite_artist_quota search="_profile_id IN `$_following|implode:","`"}

As mentioned above if the absolute value is used this works fine but passing the £_user_id in fails.

I'm sure its something obvious that is tripping me up here.

in your screenshot {$_user} is an array. To access the sub parts of that array you use the array key.

So in that location use {$_user._user_id} to output "1".

If your passing it in into jrCore_list you dont need to wrap it in {} but sometimes you do need to use backticks `` around it.

so:

{assign var="_following" value=jrFollower_get_profiles_followed(`$_user._user_id`)}
{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" quota_id=$_conf.gmLite_artist_quota search="_profile_id IN `$_following|implode:","`"}

should do the trick.

Well that's what I get for trying to figure this out when I could barely keep my eyes open.

I didn't need the back ticks, the issue was I was referencing $user._user_id and not $_user._user_id

Thanks again
