IMPORTANT UPDATE: New community section for John 5 site

November 04, 2011   Emma   1 Comment

Please note: Just an update – I am currently investigating a plugin conflict on the site – I have received some feedback and done some tests which indicate that the Mingle Community function we have set up was causing a mailing error – to the point where people were not receiving their login password which meant they were unable to login to the site nor retrieve a lost password request. It has also possibly caused a problem to a new contact section I was building. So at the moment the Mingle Community (your own personal profiles etc) is down until I can find out exactky what the conflict is and if this can be resolved. My concern is for the security of the site and it’s members.

In the meantime, your login gives you access to the forum here so please take part.

Thanks for your understanding

New Comment System being implemented

September 15, 2011   Emma   18 Comments

Hello all hope you are well.

A little site news.  I am changing the comment system we have on the site to one that is much more social and engaging.  As such it will change the way you interact with the site and each other on stories.

The new system is called LiveFyre and is a “real-time” platform for commenting.

There are some terrific features in it such as the ability to interact with other users by tagging in a post, so replyign directly to that individual, the ability to post your comment to your Facebook or Twitter which in turn engages those in stream to see what is being discussed.

PLEASE NOTE:  you need a Livefyre account to post; it takes a couple of minutes to register, but from there you can authorize your Twitter, Facebook etc account and use that to longin – plus you can then share your comments on your Twitter and Facebook streams.

Temp problem with Fan Photos upload [UPDATE]

July 09, 2011   Emma   No comments

UPDATE: 12 July 2011: Okay still having some problems BUT have found a temporary fix which means photos that have been awaiting moderation have now finally been uploaded to the site – sorry for the inconvenience.  Hopefully this will keep the gallery running a little more smoothly until the plugin is updated by the developer. Emma (J5′s web manager)

Hello just to let you know, that since the latest update on the WordPress back end that powers the John 5 site, there has been a problem with the NextGen gallery which powers the Fan Photos section.  This seems to be a problem that not just we are experiencing and I have logged this problem with the plugin developer.  So please note, images you have uploaded may not be made live until this problem has been resolved.

Sorry for the inconvenience – hopefully an update to that plugin will be made soon so normal service will be restored.

Thank you.  Emma (J5′s web manager)
