| Feedback needed | sparkalina | Sure, Listing me would be great under designers. I'm so familiar with KB, LINKS, and CLASSIFIEDS, it's easy to accommodate people's needs. I'm sure the others would be pretty easy to pick up as well. Also, I'd be happy to do some template work for you, we can barter because I still need some custom work on my site. So get in contact with me and we can hammer something out. We could create "similar" templates with different color schemes, or incorporate several GNU license (is that correct) templates. Or just offer one good clean one. |

| Feedback needed | sparkalina | I definitely agree with keeping some sort of search in the header of the wrapper because I almost always move it to that location after an installation. Currently, your template looks a wee bit cluttered, but I think really it's suffering only from too many addons turned on. What I mean by that is perhaps if everything is "on" and available for use, the template starts to feel a little cluttered. I say phooey when people insult the template. What do they want, for you to design it for them too? They'll never be satisfied with the result because each client is different. My only suggestion is to streamline as much as possible and maybe incorporate something similar to http://highslide.com/ so that informational items pop up rather than clutter the screen. Example. I use highslide to create info boxes. If someone wants to know what a featured listing is, they click the little image I have linked to the pop up window. You do this in the admin section and it keeps the clutter down. That's just a little brainstorming. From my POV I will turn off quite a few unneeded switches when I install something. Your software has grown so powerful, maybe it's time to allow the user to turn on rather than turn off switches so that the template appears streamlined at first. |

| User name + SEO = broken profile url | sparkalina | Testing some stuff today. Using a user as example. user has no photo uploaded to field WRITERPHOTOATTACH When SEO is set to : members/{MEMBERNAME}-{MEMBERID}.html Code looks like this in the browser: <img src="http://myurl.com/{MEMBERWRITERPHOTOATTACHDOWNLOADURL}" />When SEO is set to : members/{MEMBERNAME}.html Code looks like (expected behavior) this in the browser: <img src="http://myurl.com/images/profile_notfound.jpg"> This is odd behavior because with the correct SEO url members/{MEMBERNAME}-{MEMBERID}.html, the conditionals are read as if it's trying to read an attachment which of course doesn't exist because this user has nothing uploaded. But with SEO set to members/{MEMBERNAME}.html it correctly reads the conditionals and serves up the profile not found image. |

| User name + SEO = broken profile url | sparkalina | Well the code above is my example. I literally changed the SEO url from members/{MEMBERNAME}.html to members/{ME MBERNAME}-{MEMBERID}.html and this code stops working: <IF {THISMEMBERISGUEST} or {THISMEMBERUSERGROUP} is 2><h2 align="center">{MEMBERNAME}</h2><ELSE><IF {MEMBERWRITERPHOTOATTACHTITLE}><img src="{MEMBERWRITERPHOTOATTACHDOWNLOADURL}" style="margin:auto;"/><h2 align="center">{MEMBERNAME}</h2><br><ELSE><img src="images/profile_notfound.jpg" style="margin:auto;"><br><h2 align="center">{MEMBERNAME}</h2><br></IF></IF> If the user hasn't uploaded a photo and you are logged in you see a holder image of a head with a question mark. the other user does not. Neither image comes up when members/{MEMBERNAME}-{MEMBERID}.html is the SEO url for profiles. you'll have to set the SEO url temporarily to test it. I took off -{MEMBERID} I am now remembering this broken image issue from before but never reported it, that's why I removed the -{MEMBERID} from the url in the first place. login as me (if you still have the password) to see. FYI guests do not have access to member profiles. |

| User name + SEO = broken profile url | sparkalina | When I add the -{MEMBERID} to the SEO url it breaks my custom image attachment on the member profile template. ODD This is the code for the custom image attachment I have to show different items to different groups on the profile template.
I'm removing the "-{MEMBERID}" from the SEO url for profiles until this post is read by you. |

| User name + SEO = broken profile url | sparkalina | members/{MEMBERNAME}.html is what I have but I don't remember changing it. Is this the default or did I erase something? I'll add the id now. |

| User name + SEO = broken profile url | sparkalina | Found the problem but I have no solution. Users cannot use the word AND in their username. How to combat that other than "please don't use the word :and" in your name"? |

| User name + SEO = broken profile url | sparkalina | I just had a user sign up and their SEO member profile url isn't functioning. username: sandy memberprofile becomes: sandy.html all other usernames functioning. IE This one below is functioning. username: george member profile becomes: george.html At first I thought it was because they used caps, but that isn't it. I have another member also using caps and their member profile comes up immediately. Regenerated members, still no luck. What have they done? Sometimes punctuation will mess it up but I don't see any. I've had to put that in the registration form to tell users not to use punctuation. Could it be something from the recent upgrade? |

| Using email activation for members | sparkalina | Okay then. I'll turn it back to direct registration and hope that the invisible field fools any bots. For somereason my host has turned off GD for captcha, I'll have to look into that. Do you put the login and password info on the activation email (did you change the template?) Thanks babrees! |

| Using email activation for members | sparkalina | I'm trying to figure out if this is an issue. I don't think it is, but here are my comments. I've set member settings for accounts to email activation. I registered a test member and received two emails at the same time. The first of course being the activation link. But I did not click the validation link and the email with my login and password came anyway. Is that normal behavior? It would seem more user friendly to me that that the email showing the user their username and password would not be sent until AFTER they click the activation link. As it stands now it's slightly confusing to users (from what I've experienced so far). they're like hey I can't get in, and then they get frustrated. *and no, they don't read the warning messages they keep seeing when they try to log in...*smacks forehead* If this is a hack how much would it cost to do so? (Send the first activation email, they click it and THEN get their welcome email.) If you happen to drop by my settings and they say "direct" registration, it's because I'm testing something out. I really want to keep email verification to prevent spam entries but not if the current behavior is normal. |

| Membership Sponsorship | sparkalina | I don't know of any LGPL/BSD/MIT licensed carts off hand, but I'm always shopping for shopping carts. I'll keep your requirements in mind. I like the idea of the paypal cart but the basic plan you have laid out might just work sufficiently as it stands. |

| Membership Sponsorship | sparkalina | What about a grid of fields... also messy. I'll ponder that one. Is incorporating a minimalistic OS shopping cart out of the question? There are a ton out there that might link with you. Minimal is the key... some get WAY to complicated for the needs of WSN. | Mar 29, 2009 - 11:57 PM | Paid Scripts Support |
| Membership Sponsorship | sparkalina | Wow. Thanks! glad I could help find something. thank you for figuring that out. So for reversion group... it should be Revert to this usergroup # on expiration: 2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2 etc? I only have one "2" thinking it would apply across the board. Maybe a scenario in the kb would help people figure out what's expected of them when filling this stuff out? |

| link promotion | sparkalina | I would use a conditional to choose which groups sees the promotional code. I don't currently think there is a way to restrict which usergroup gets which promotion. That would require custom work on Paul's part. Do you need help with the conditional? <IF {THISMEMBERUSERGROUP} is 5> Usergroup promotion link <ELSE> </IF>That's a start anyway. |

| Membership Sponsorship | sparkalina | I know it's something I'm not doing right because the sponorship area functions well for everyone else. I have the following settings: Style of sponsorship: Paid PayPal Email: paypal address Deduct the incrimental fee every 1 day (to make it a one time fee, just set this to a large number). Use different funds for each sponsorship level? yes -- Member Usergroup Promotion Activate? Yes Incrimental Fee: $ .17,.33,.41,.55,1.36 Item Number: 2,3,4,5,6 Sponsor Usergroup #: 5,6,7,8,9 Revert to this usergroup # on expiration: 2 Promote all links owned by member to a new link type? no Require all registrations from non-admins to be sponsored? no -------------------------------------- Here's my problem. I haven't even tested the above settings as I'm giving away free accounts to the usergroup #6 which is suppose to deduct .33 per day. I manually enter in the funds they would have paid had the account not been free ($119) and then switched their usergroup from 2 to 6. I checked the db and on the members table under funds, none of the amounts have changed and several of these accounts were created days ago. Did I set something up wrong? Will I see the deduction working in the db on the members table? Some of these users should be at 118.01 or something around there going by how old their accounts are. I have not forced any crons to run yet(afraid to mess anything up). TIA |
