Events approval not working?

This is a bug in the Jamroom Core and is fixed for the next core release.
Thanks!
jrShareThis
Suggestions
b360:I have a suggestion for the jrShareThis module. In a future update to have Instagram added would be really awesome!
You will want to contact ShareThis with this suggestion - they are the ones that do the actual integration.
Hope this helps!
Something To consider when leaving Ning

Thanks for the heads up on this Curtis!
Google WMT thinks the sitemap is html
Using Jamroom
Then Google is looking at an old/incorrect sitemap - give it time and it should correct itself.
Converting ning urls to JR urls question...
Installation and Configuration
Strumelia:I see. So this wouldn't work for my ning URL of: http://mountaindulcimer.ning.com/ because it would need to have the "ning.com" part of the url and that belongs to ning. Correct?
Exactly - you don't own ning.com so cannot "control" where the mountaindulcimer sub domain gets routed to.
Quote:Kinda sounds like more trouble than it's worth overall. Over time, there would tend to be fewer people clicking to older links and older content anyway.
Is it true though?- that if I come across any really important instances of defunct URLS that i 'could' go into the database manually and edit those links 'if' I had the content on a new url and could edit the link from within? Or simply remove the link if it were causing repeated frustrations?
I sure appreciate your explanations.

Not if they are on the mountaindulcimer.ning.com domain - you cannot do anything with routing or URLs on that domain.
However, you can use the URL Mapper to map any URL to another URL that you want - that's up to you. But that's why I indicated earlier this would likely not be something that is going to really help you. Unfortunately (and it is just the way it is) you built your existing community on a domain you don't control. Ning loves this because this provides a significant "lock in" for them as they know that if you leave you're going to lose the URL.
Let me know if that helps.
Can't embed youtube using text editor
Using Jamroom
What is the URL of the YouTube video you are trying to embed? And where are you trying to add it?

Converting ning urls to JR urls question...
Installation and Configuration
And to add it would be easier just to:
- host the old domain on Jamroom Hosting
- have us setup a special .htaccess rule to redirect ALL incoming requests on the old domain to the NEW domain.
That's cleaner and doesn't require a second JR install - BUT we do have to have access to the old domain.

Strumelia:"I don't know - it depends on the URL structure of the site. In your case it looks like you are changing domains as well, so I don't think you would even need this module (or maybe I am not see what you would use it for)."
Yes I am changing domains. Are you saying then that I will just have to live with whatever defunct ning URLS are lurking in my site?

Yes - unless you map your EXISTING ning domain to a Jamroom site. Otherwise how is Jamroom going to "know" when a request comes in on your old domain?

Let me just get this straight- For example, if a year ago someone in a forum post or in a Group discussion on the ning site inserted a hotlink to their new video they uploaded, or to their ning profile page. It would just lead to a dead end, right?

Yes - IF you are on a different domain.
Quote: And someone else from two years ago on Ning posting a link to one of the ning site Groups suggesting someone to go join...that link would now be defunct too, right?
No 'instant gratification buttons', huh? Especially since I chagned domain names.. sigh...

The only way you can do this is if:
- you setup a Jamroom site on the OLD domain with the URL Mapper
- AND redirect these "old" URLs to your NEW domain
Let me know if that makes sense.
