I've closed this thread - it's just gotten enormous :)

Please open new threads (1 topic per thread please) as that makes it easier for us to link to and track suggestions and questions.

Thanks!

Upgrading from existing “Ning” Pages and Discussions modules
Installation and Configuration

soaringeagle:ok i did the upgrade havent delerted the modules yet but im a lil confused
i see the groups
now on the front page i see discussions is no longer empty and i click see all and i get alotta discussions with no categories anymore? no organization/
i know profile forums can have categories
im just confused
the discussions i see on the front page are in a group/ what group/ or is it all of them where the main forums discussions go are they in a profile forms now

I guess this depends. If you are using the latest NingJa skin, then the discussions on the index are the latest public discussions across all groups on your site. If you're doing something custom however, then I'm not sure. Note that the NEW group discussions and group pages modules, the discussions and pages are ['b]always[/b] part of a group - if you need discussions and pages OUTSIDE a group (on a profile) they need to be part of the profile forum or the Jamroom pages module.

Hope this helps!

Restore Theme Breaks Site
Installation and Configuration

xmla:jrMarket folder was empty. permissions on folder are 777.

Updates went fine.

Does that mean reloading worked?

Thanks!

TinyMCE paragraph formatting
Using Jamroom

SteveX:Yes, that does fix it, thanks Brian.

I'm probably missing a step somewhere, but I can't get a button to save in the editor. I have added "button" to the list of Allowed Html Tags for the quota, but it is being stripped out on saving the form. I also tried adding "section" but that is stripped out as well.

Are there limits as to what can be added to Allowed Html Tags or am I missing a step?

Thanks

Yes - there are limits. For the most part, adding a tag to the allowed tags only adds the tag - NOT any tag params (i.e. you want an "input" tag but it won't allow the "type" parameter).

The core uses HTML Purifier, with a white list of allowed params, so it is something we have to add for it to be fully supported. Are you looking for an "input" element with type "button"?

Thanks!

Upgrading from existing “Ning” Pages and Discussions modules
Installation and Configuration

Ken_Rich:If I can figure out how to get rid of the left column that would be even better

This requires an update to your skin - it's supported "out of the box" right now on Elastic, NingJa and Lucid. Paul should be able to fix your site for you when he gets a chance, as I am not sure what he has setup on your site.

Quote:Also, I'm confused about the custom work Paul has going on with my network. Where does that fit in with these new developments?

If Paul has done custom things for your site, then you or him will need to maintain those customizations. The Ningja skin is our "official" skin for Ning migrations, and will receive support, update and customizations suited for Ning sites moving to Jamroom - if you can you might think about basing your design off of it.

Hope this helps!

See my reply above ^ - I've changed it to a grid layout that should be closer to what you're looking for.

Hope this helps!
