Notes vs Private Notes vs messages...??
Installation and Configuration
Strumelia:I'm a little confused about something.
On Ning networks, there is a feature called "Notes" which is described as "Create new pages of text on your Ning Network, like an FAQ section or an About page.". Personally, I've never used it, though others surely have.
Then I notice in the JR Ning Bundle there is a module included called Ning Notes...which I assume is a module designed to receive the "notes" from Ning networks.
Yes - this is something totally specific to Ning. Honestly I'm not sure why we have a Ning Notes module - I'm guessing Ning Notes would likely "line up" better with Jamroom's "pages" module.
Quote:However... JR also offers a separate module (not in the Ning bundle) called "Private Notes"- described as "Adds Private Notes to your system, allowing users to send Private Notes to admins and followers."
Is there a confusion between the term Notes and Messages ? I see "Private Notes" as being private messaging system between all the members of my JR site, right? OR is there a private messaging system already included in my JR Core already?
No - Private Notes is the only messaging system between users that we have for Jamroom.
Quote:I have been assuming that none of the private messages in member inboxes on my Ning network are going to import over the JR...correct? (I can kinda understand that, as a privacy issue).
I'm not sure about this - Paul might know.
Quote: BUT do I need to buy the Private Notes module in order to have a private messaging system on my JR site?
Yes...
Quote:OR is it in the Core already somewhere? Or..are the JR Team thinking that the "Notes" in Ning were actually private messages..?
Sorry I hope I've explained this enough not to simply confuse things for even more. =8-*
It's not part of the Jamroom Core - it's the "Private Notes" add on module that you'd want to add to your site if you want private messaging support for user to user..
Hope this helps!
