ok i was off in my thinking but i got it through a l;il research

{jrCore_list module="jrGroup" order_by="_updated numerical_desc" pagebreak=10 page=$_post.p pager=true}

that i believe will order by latest activity



there is 1 issue for @douglas to look into however
the "join group" button is still there even after you have joined the group

how can you not understand the instructions when its the exact same instructions just replace the word comment with member
comment_count becomes member count

the latest activity im still working on figuring iut its not instructions its clues to how to figure it out the code definately changed the order but the new "test" group came up 1st now and adding commebts to a diferentgroup didnt bring it to the top so its not perfect im still figuring out the exact code but the basic idea is there

that will take some experimenting to get rigght
but the sort by member code is exactly as i put it
and the sort by most comments is virtualy the same as sort by most active is it not?
wouldnt most commen ts be an indication of most activity?

the only 1 thats not fully functional yet is the sort by latest activity and i know what needs to be done just not familiar enough with the code yet to have it exact yet it might need a lil more playing around with

i told you most memmbers already most active im not sure of but most comments and most active could be closely related and the most recent activity was the last 1 wich i got you close on i can test it laster and see which code works but thats the only 1 im unsure of most members most comments were already answered

only most recent activity was at all tricky to figure out and all the peices are there just gotta figure out the exact syntax

awesome and cant wait
6 across is fine for smaller image sizes the only reason i suggested 4 would be to alow lil longer titles though if space was alocated for 2 lines of title that would work as well as long as the alocated space remains constant

really looking forward to that release

figured it out i think
 {jrCore_list module="jrGroup" order_by="_item_id numerical_desc" pagebreak=10 page=$_post.p pager=true}
lists the groups by creation order

 {jrCore_list module="jrAction" order_by="_item_id numerical_desc" pagebreak=10 page=$_post.p pager=true}
is the activity list of all actions

now we need the activity list but filtered by only the groups items
no wait..the groups list but ordered by activity...


now i dont know the exact syntax yet but something similar to

{jrCore_list module="jrGroup" order_by="$jrAction=_item_id numerical_desc" pagebreak=10 page=$_post.p pager=true}
u might not need the $ = jrAction_item_id might be what you need


but..the basics are there id need an hour of playing around with it trying diferent options to figure the exact code out...but
thats the basic logic of what you need
in a few weeks of playing with code id be alot more sure of myself but have a feeling 1 of the jr team will confirm i was at least close

the answers right in the datas browser
group_applicants: on

group_pending: 0
group_private: off
group_title: pennsylvania dreads
group_title_url:
those are the data items available to work with

now if you look into the activity feed data theres another clue but im not exactly certain how to use it yet

although...tyhis might actualy work annd you can certainly test it and try it

heres the data

action_data: Posted new YouTube videos: ...
action_item: {"_created":"1416197445","_updated":"1416197445","_user_id":"14723","youtube_id"...
action_item_id: 1743
action_mode: search
action_module: jrYouTube
action_pending: 0
action_quota_id: 2
action_shared_by_count: 0
action_shared_by_user: 0
action_title: Alborosie ft. Junior Reid - Respect
action_title_url: alborosie-ft-junior-reid-respect

im just taking an educated guess here but something like

order_by="$action_module=jrgroups numerical_desc"

if my thinking is corect that will list the order by activity of any type within the module jrgroups

give it a try im thinking it might wiork if the syntax is wrong it wont alow you to save it
if the syntax is right but the logic flawed at worse u click reset

Strumelia:
Paul- can you tell me what the "etc etc" code snippets would be for the order_by options of:
Most Active, or Most Members, or most Recent Activity
-are those sorting options possible? Thanks
like i said member count absolutely
comment counjt absolutely (could that count as most active?)
as for most recently active a listener would have to be set up....from my understanding anyways

order_by="group_comment_count numerical_desc" for number of comments (highest first)
for member count
order_by="group_member_count numerical_desc"
that lists most number of members 1st

hmmm thinking... the activity feed wouldhave a listener that lists the most recent activity in groups i believe so u might be able to sort through that figure it out and adapt it

im trying to take the creating a commbunity course and the developers course today but the archive uploads making it hard to take the course

id recomend u check them out the 1 is free the othsers 29 bucks but if u join the backstage community for premium help wich i did the backstage is 29 bucks and theres a coupon codde in there to make the development course free

i havent started either yert do to slowness but after takinmg them you should be able to find your way around figuring this all out yourself

for now the member count and comment count will have to do till i work out the rest
you could even add a selector like ninghad to re-order it according to users preferences once you are familiar enough with the template editing

suggestions for photo grid page
Ning To Jamroom

@douglas
looking over the photo grid page i was thinking instead of a 6 across grid a 4 accross with lil larger images (responsive ofcourse) with the title above in its own div and name below in its own div each with an alocated height wether a title exists (although now i think thats taken from the description not title as every image must have a title and descriptions were optional)
the wider image would alow for a lil longer text without truncation

now that i think about it belows probably fine too as long as each is in its own div to keep it frokm wrapping to new lines and it should be taken from the title not description since 90% leave descriptions blank and some might write a 4 paragraph description

(on a sidenote ning defaulted the title to the filename if you didnt change it, titles should be required (and descriptions optionjaly required) but the filename should not auto populate the title it should be blank till somethings entered

paul:
If you are doing a fresh import, I'd be inclined to drop all the tables, empty the data folder and do a fresh install.
Of course, making sure that you have no skin or module template/language/css modifications on the database first, i.e.. anything done in the ACP editors.

The Ning import module is pretty well complete now and seems to be working very well. The only frustration I have is the fact that Ning fail to link pages to groups in their archives. There is a tool in the jrGroupPage module to do this by hand after the import, but if there are a lot of group pages, this could be time consuming, but as the Ning archives stand, there's not much that can be done about that.
@paul i did alot of template edits inj the skin and some in modules are thise stored in the database if so i8d onoly want to remove the specific database tables that deal with ning imports
if i search the database tables for ning shouod that find them all

no rush to answer the upload of ther fresh archives going to take awhile
