handeling diferent url structures and the resultant "page not found' issues

Ning To Jamroom

since ning and jr will use a very diferent url structure how will the search trafic results be handled

will all search results generate a 404 not found
or will there be a graceful way of doing a i think its 301 permenent redirrection from the original url wich should then update the search engine results

if they cant be redirected to the correct url could they be handled by a perment redirect to the front page (wich i think will feed it lots of link juice)
and ..is there any way that those redirects could triger a popup saying this site has gone through a massive overhaul the link you followed has been relocated, please use the search feature or browse these pages with links to the major features

im just wondering how to avoid a nightmare situation of nearly all trafic hitting a 404 then deciding to look elsewhere for the info while it takes months for the search engines to fully update

im really hoping theres a graceful url redirecting that updates the search engines automaticly

quota confusion

Ning To Jamroom

ok and if im understanding corectly the same module can listen for a profile created date
i saw somehere an option to 'change profile quota at this date' but instead of an admin inputting that change date .. the listener should take that join date then the module add 30 days to it and set that date automaticly?

im so glad last night i got a member thats a wiz at this stuff to help out
ill definately try to pay attention to how he does things and learn from it

everything your saying makes perfect sence to me its just the how to do that that i still need to learn haha

i sure have learned alot in the past few days though

is the logo upload in slate working yet


let me run some ideas by you and tell me if what im thinking is possible
i already changed my main profile to dreadlocks forums and the main forums etc will be in there
i want a music shop profile that just lists all the music shops with a featured list (possibly broken down by genre?)
then have a profile for the dread related shops broken down by category like shampoos beads tams and hats etc
and those 3 profiles that would make up the main body of the site have links in the link menu where signin and your profile link is but that show on every page

thats kinda how i envision tyhe site structure anyway

oh and i have 1 more huge question that needs its own discussion
and i wanted to suggest 2 more forum categories here

a work in progress for ning transferees to show takk about and get help on (mostly from eachother not you) the sites they are building and a live ning transfers to show of the sites that successfully migrated and are live

quota confusion

Ning To Jamroom

im making progress figuring everything out but im confused on a few things with quotas and after watching the vids and reading the documentation im still confused
1st off it says 'some quotas can be signed up to directly, others need to be assigned to by an admin" and in the vid they show making a new users experienced users etc quotas

but thats as far as the explanations went
so heres the situations i want to figure out how to do

1 i want profile questions that if they want to sell digital goods like music they get added (autonaticly i hope) to 1 quota if they want to sell crafts to another if they want to sell bundles to another if all 3 to another how do profile questions then add the profiles to quotas

the next situation i want is like you had new members who are restricted
but then become full unrestricted members after some conditions met
like number of days since joining or after a number of days and uploading a profile pictutre
or whatever

the point is im trying to figure out how members can be added or moved between quotas without admin interactions

cause as an admin im not planning on mamually moving every member from new to full member

and id like them to be able to sign up for the shoops at profile creation time

now that i think about it ..we have high ethical standards for what we alow in suhops so id want approval on items for the 1st 30 days the shops up
i know ill need multiple quotas to accomplish this what i dont know is how to accomplish the quouta manipulation automaticly by profile questionsd and/or time
without causing an absolute nightmare where i need 20 addmins just to handle that

as ut is now with 14,000 members i have 6 admins i think.. but i do 99.9% of the admining myself the other 6 are just there for when im away or miss something

so to recap
how do i add profiles to specific quotas based on profile questions
and how do i have them automaticly change quotas based on conditions like time

from the info ive seen it seems like both are possible just been searching for 2 hours and cannot find out how

organizing after import questions

Ning To Jamroom

ok let me see if i understand thisds right as i was just playing around
i created a profile
dreadlocks forums
assigned it to me
but see no wauy to assign content from 1 to the other so
i will need to do the following
step 1 change the name of the 1st account soaringeagle to dreadlocks forums after deleting the other 1 will that change the url i hope
then use the set page as landing page to set a custom landing page revolving arounf the forums
or to the forums themselves
can you use smarty codes in the create a page to do stuff like show the 20 mist recent discussions 20 most recent pghotos the latest blogs activity
oh by discussions i dont mean 20 bnewest added though thats a good list to have too but 20 mist recently active or replied to

i guess what im wondering (i think) is if you can place codes within the page to add seemless lists

i think im going to just buy seemless and try out what im thinking but have a feeling that this will be a major topic as ppl move to ning

my list of things ning migrators will mkiss

Ning To Jamroom

besides the obvious easy design tools (already switching mind mode from ning to jr so cant think of its name haha oh yea design studio)

people will miss the wysiwyg editor on comments forum post reoplies basicly everywhere theres a text feild

native chat so logged in members will be able to talk and send instant private messages .. a jr 1 could be a much better with embedable vids and photos and perhaps even s room for logged out guests to interact b4 joining

featured content.. the ability to with 1 clock feature any content pics vids music discussions blogs and they apear above all others in that section

so far thats all i can see as far as out of the box with available modules that might be missed
and for some maybe a dealbreaker

oh 1 other thing .. per feature search
but i think...not sure but think..that thats easily done by cloning the search module and having it just search say blogs/

im still new to this but from what im seeing so far these are my list of things that ning users woukd want as standard or at least as easy install modules
part of the ning bundle or standalone i bet other jr users would love the ability to feature anything and the chat

ive installed one paid module as im getting closer to feeling commited to moving here
im tempted to install several more but need a lil more of myh import so i can see how the peices can fit together before commiting large sums of money

my members are excited however so thats what matters
thats not missing hehe

ohhh yea
the final thing i almost firgot
you have a folliwsystem wich ning has too but no freinds system
being more a social network then fan network freinds are what its all about\
were not leaders or folowers were freinds
sure i can rename it but it functions diferent with folowing being able to be 1 way where freinds go both ways
yes u can 'approve folliwers" but that doesnt make u follow them so its not a 2 way street like frendships are
