yikes multiple problems
Installation and Configuration
soaringeagle:ok i did the groups update thinjg followed the directions disabling but not deleting the modules
and im thoroughly confused and wondering if things went terribly wrong
the forums discussions link in the menus gone .. the very backbone of my site
i see groups 1st 1 i clicked got a not found 2nd 1 i clicked really only looked like a comment wall
whenj i click discussions wich now i see discussions in that box i get a list of discussions stripped of thier categories with no organization
It sounds like you need the
Profile Forum module - not Discussion Groups. Discussion Groups only appear WITHIN a group - they are not system-wide forum discussions - that's the Profile Forum (like you are on here). It supports categories, etc.
Quote:ans every one i clicked was not found
That's correct - the module names changed and your skin is probably referencing the old URLs.
Quote:whats more im finding inconsitencies with the background of wrapper on some pages includes the footer on others the footers grey
im going to try to figure out what went wrong
lil pannicky
the forums are what were known for thats our heart and soul
and they need to beeassy to use and categorized
i dont care if they all gert pulled into a profile called dreadlocks forums or whatever
im also not finding our pages now
did i shut off the wrong modules
I've posted this elsewhere, and want to be sure everyone understand how things are laid out:
- Profile Forum - this module is what you want to use for a
forum - i.e. what we are typing on right now
- Page Creator - this is used for pages OUTSIDE groups
- Group Discussions - this is for discussions INSIDE a group, and only inside a group.
- Group Pages - this is for pages INSIDE a group, and only inside a group.
Note that the latest NingJa skin is updated to support the proper links.
HOWEVER (and this is important) - right now the Ning Importer does NOT import into the Profile forum, and that will need to be updated when Paul gets back from vacation - you will then at that time need to re-run the import so the discussions get put in to their proper place.
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks!
