Looking for early Ning migrants


Installation and Configuration

Isleander:SE, This is the "top menu" not the modules - quotas are set to "allow" on all users quotas - they are visible on user pages.

Yeah those should be showing - I will check it out and see what's up and let you know.

Thanks!

Important questions about Ning "Groups"


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:I'm happy to wait while you work your magic Brian. Meanwhile I am learning tiny things here and there just by stumbling around. Thank you for your hard work!

No problem - you'll be happy to know I've got the "Comment Wall" working in groups, which I think you were hoping would be working.

Thanks!

Looking for early Ning migrants


Installation and Configuration

Isleander:Are these extra menu tabs only visible to the admins? I don't see them on user's page.

The only restriction on those items is that the user must be logged in - so as long as the user is logged in they should see them in the site header.

Hope this helps!

Installation and Configuration

Kos:The same error pops up no matter what I try to import so it seems nothing is importing at all. Even w/o comments attached.

I apologize, but I haven't done an actual import yet, but is it the same error message about comments?

Thanks!

Are notifications unique to a profile or an account?


Jamroom Developers

DannyA:So if you are logged in as a power user, do you get notifications for ALL linked profiles? or just the main power user profile?

For example - if someone posts a new comment on "profile a", and "user a" is a power user that controls "profile a", and they have enabled the notifications in their "notifications" tab of their user account, they will get a notification.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Another question.


Design and Skin Customization

Strumelia:what if the admin creates a blog and sets a new category... and there is only that one blog in that category, and then later the admin deletes that blog- will that category disappear then, or remain as a category even with no entries in it?

The category will be deleted as well - there's no "standalone" categories - all categories are tied to an actual blog entry.

Hope this helps!

Another question.


Design and Skin Customization

Strumelia:Can we set things so only admins can create a new blog category, and regular members only pick from the choices of whatever categories have so far been created by the admins?

Yep - this is where the Form Designer comes in. Go into "create" for a new blog entry, and click on the "Form Designer" button in the upper right. Click "modify" next to the blog_category entry. Change the "type" from "select_and_text" to just "select". Then, in the "options" textarea enter your choices, 1 per line in the following format:

Category Name|Category Name

Then when creating a blog your users will only be able to select from the categories you have created.

Hope this helps!

Restore Theme Breaks Site


Installation and Configuration

xmla:Plenty of space on that server.

I'll try again during off-peak hours and see what happens. I'll screen capture it and report if issue reveals itself again.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yep no problem - let me know if you see it again.

Thanks!

They are not actually functioning as they should right now.

Thanks!
