I would like to use the AS profile pic in the Ventrian articles... anyone have a clue on how to do this?

I would also like to list users articles (in a AS tab) ..Ideas? >>is it possible?

We're currently sponsoring a project with Ventrian to integrate to AS. The main focus will be on the journal for new posts/listings and comments. Ideally something like:

Steven Webster listed a 1995 Honda Accord in Member Classifies

The project has barely started but hopefully it will serve as a starting point for an initial integration and perhaps others can pick up the sponsorship torch from there.

1. I added the profile link and picture using this code in the layout files (replace { )

{center}
Posted By: {a href ="/Members/MemberProfile/tabid/436/asuid/[USERID]/Default.aspx"}[DISPLAYNAME]{/b}{br}
{img src="http://www.activemodules.com/Portals/11/ActiveSocial/Profiles/_icons/pp_[USERID]_75_75.png" /}{/a}
{/center}

2. Yes, an article list is possible, I have it up and running on one of my websites.  Follow the tutorials posted on this website.

Christian, did you ever get NA integrated with the AS profile tabs? What version of Ventrian's NA are you using?

I currently have it working with NA 7.60 but haven't been able to get it to work with more recent versions. The default filtering of the latest NA module is not working any longer in conjunction with AS for me on my localhost. Therefore, I can't upgrade yet.

For the record, I am still on DNN523.

I have made some changes to the module loader to make it a little more flexible. I have tested it with the latest version of News Articles and it works fine.

I'm assuming the module loader is included with AS, so we will need an update? Thanks for researching this Will,

I would like to try this new ModuleLoader with XMod as I have been having some problems.

Just to clarify, this isn't a new module. There are a couple different ways to load the settings for a module. We were using the method DNN would use for copying a module instance. However, not all modules support copying module settings. There has also been an issue with new versions of DNN when we set the tabid for a loaded module that is stores the value in the cache incorrectly. The updated module loader will now default to the way DNN would load the module just as on a regular page. We have added properties for OverrideTabId(Boolean) and TargetTabId(integer). I will explain more about these properties in the Knowledge Base shortly.

Will this be in the AS 1.6 release?

Any target date yet??

Yes

Any day now.

@Will, is the latest version you were using actually NA 7.65? Does the change you have made require us to adjust the templates for the profiles? If so, could you please explain what needs to be changed?

Will, nevermind I found this posting: http://www.activemodules.com/Commun...fault.aspx

Will, was the new module loader in AS1.6?

Do you have any information on it's use please?

Should the module loader work in a groups tabs as well as profile tabs?

Yes

You use it just as before. Everything is handled behind the scenes.


Yes.

OK, good.

Do you have any info on the loadmethod etc and what the possible values are and their effect please?

Are you having problems with the module loader? Pretty much everything is handled in code and there really wasn't a need for additional options.

I was having some issues trying to integrate some modules into group tabs.
I will revisit it and see what happens.

Christian, did you get worked out how to use the AS profile pic with Ventrian NA? If not, I have an example in this post: www.activemodules.com/Community/For...aspx#62899

I understand that Ventrian NA has recently been integrated. Scott is posting on his site that he is waiting on you to give him custom journal types so that he can integrate PA. I am very interested in integrating PA. Do you have any sort of time frame when this will be done on your end?

Active Social 1.8 includes the functionality for custom journal types. This should be released within the next 2 weeks.

What is mean by custom journal types ?
Will it allow to add custom options to journal tools ? For Example: I want to show status, photos, events, links PLUS Videos or any other module's quick post tool in journal tools, will it allow that as well ?
I dont want users to add video from another page, i just want them to add it from journal tools, will that be possible after such APIs ?

My next blog post will answer these questions. Should be available later today.
