Hey team

Just looking at the way featured content is handled by skins and thought there may be a better way.

Have a jrFeatured module that would allow the following

Any item/profile could be featured for a set amount of time, ie week, fortnight, month.

Featured status could be purchased via the site by members or given to by admins.

Skins would of course have to be updated to allow this but it is another way to monetise your site.

This could also open the possibility of a bands fans promoting some of their content on the site.

First thought: its very site specific.

Second thought: Have you seen the Aparna module yet?

"jrAparna"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/853/jraparna

Using aparna in conjunction with the "Form Designer"

"Using the Form Designer"

Can get you a long way to building anything without much coding.

Hey Michael

Thanks for the reply, I have only had a quick look at jraparna and don't fully understand it as of yet.

Its really cool, and well documented. What it is is a module to help you build modules.

You give it the name you want to use and it sets up the rest.

What you end up with is something similar to a blank module. Think the blog module where the only field is a title.

From there you use the Form Designer to add in the fields you need, so perhaps an image field, if its advertising that your selling. A couple of date fields that only the admin can see. And your a long way to building a way to sell advertising space.

You can then download the module and add any specialized code you need to make it complete.

use a {jrCore_list} call wherever you need it to display the adverts.
