Notes vs Private Notes vs messages...??


Ning To Jamroom

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.

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?

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). BUT do I need to buy the Private Notes module in order to have a private messaging system on my JR site?

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-*

"Ignore the following modules until I upload new versions (I'm shooting for Friday):
Groups
Ning Pages
Ning Discussion
They are not actually functioning as they should right now."

Noted, thanks Brian.

identity crisis (had no better name for this topic)

The bright side I guess is it's only a one-time purchase, right?- then you own the modules forever and can experiment/modify them as you please... as opposed to us paying and paying and paying every single month to Glammode, forever and ever...

import naming/organization issue


Ning To Jamroom

I was wondering about the same thing, and I had to rename my own profile because of it too. I think things will become clearer to me over the coming week or two as I muddle around and ask questions. Just know you are not alone in your puzzlings. ;)

Another question.


Design and Skin Customization

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? Also, a small question- 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?
