Kickbox not validating emails during nightly maintenance

Dumb question, but... in your Kickbox module "Info" TAB, is the "module active" box checked?

How to delete a large number of Profile/User AND their content?

Using Jamroom


Michael, can you clarify for me?- are you guys saying that you need the USER browser to be able to delete both the User and its associated Profiles when one hits the Delete button on a user? ...the goal being?- not having to do the TWO steps for each member of: 1) identify the last login in the USER browser, and then 2) having to go pull them up in the PROFILE browser in order to delete them from there to catch both user and profile?

where are my custom smileys stored?

Using Jamroom

Ok I will do this then report back here- it sounds very cool, like moving bookmarks to another browser. Good practice for me to do something like this in the Database Admin area. (You were right in that I didn't want to import the whole site over- already had done that and have since done a bunch of customizing...so yes, just needed to import the smileys.)
thanks Michael!

However, if you go to your Profile Browser at /profile/browser , and you go to delete a Profile from there, it tells you:
"Are you sure you want to delete this Profile? Any User accounts ONLY associated with this Profile will also be removed."

By the way, you won't want to remove members who have created Groups with lots of valued content in them, before changing the Group Owner if you want to save that group's content. You can use the ChangeItemOwner module for this.

How to delete a large number of Profile/User AND their content?

Using Jamroom

Well, do you know?- that if you go to your user acct browser at (yoursite.com)/user/browser , and you click on the column TITLE saying Last Login, it will at least SORT all users by their last active login date, rather than by when they joined or their user #. This helps you identify long inactive Users.

But if you go to DELETE a user from that broswer, it tells you first that the associated Profile will not be deleted.

Oh, ok- when you said 'hundreds at a time' I thought you wanted to delete huge bunches of old ning members who hadn't logged in in years. I see- you wonder simply how to delete a profile + user + content all at same time, and perhaps apply it to many members at once. In the future. Am I understanding that better? If that's right, I should let the JR Team answer this.

Well, you know how when you first made your JR site, how the Activity Feed had nothing in it even when you imported all your ning members? That's because even though their content had dates associated with it, the new site didn't view all their content as having been actively posted there- it was simply imported from elsewhere. So, your activity feed began to be created once they began posting on your JR site. The members were there, but they weren't counted as having even logged in yet.
Your JR site does give you the date of member's last log in....log in to the JR site. but since the site is new it can't tell you that a member last logged in like six months ago. It will simply give you a blank date if they have not yet logged into the NEW site. And once they do, it'll keep accurate track of that info for the new site. But your ning .csv file WILL tell you when your old Ning members last logged into your ning site, whether it was 8 months ago, 2 yrs ago, or 3 months ago.
You can thus use your ning csv file in a spreadsheet to SORT your long inactive ning members and you'll then have a list of the members who have not gone to your site in a year. Then you could cross-check this against your JR site last log-in to make sure you are not going to delete members who got your password and actually logged in on the NEW site. In my opinion, the first step is to create this list of members.
What I did was delete those old inactive members before I imported them to my JR site, but I think you've already past that point?
Also, I'm assuming you can use the criteria of deleting members that have not actually logged in for a period of time. It would be harder to identify members based on when they last posted something I think.

Assuming that most of your members were imported at the same time, recently, from your ning site into your new JR site? Do you still have your Ning .CSV/memberdata file?

where are my custom smileys stored?

Using Jamroom

Over time, I've added over 100 custom smileys (mostly .gif files) to my site, via the jrSmiley module. (my members LOVE their smileys)
I'm making a second site. I cloned my 1st site to a new domain on my jr server, then 'reset' it to create a new site with the same settings as my 1st site but emptied of members and member content. Thus, the smiley gifs are no longer there. I installed the small set of 6 or so default JR smileys fresh, which i can see in the default smiley folder in the Smiley Module folder, on my server when i look at my server contents in Filezilla. But I can't seem to find the 'motherlode' of my custom smileys on my JR server- did a 'search' and all.
1) WHERE do my custom smileys get stored on my JR server?
2) And do I have to add them to my new site one by one?...150 of them...is there no way to duplicate/import them in a quick way from my 1st site to my 2nd site?

PJ, you posted a shot of your site's admin dashboard, that's not where I mean.

You need to do it from HERE in the jamroom.net site, in your server dashboard for your JR hosting account.
As I wrote above, follow my directions starting from HERE in this site, as follows:

...IF you are using Jamroom Hosting:
2) look at much the same info through the JR end by going to:
Jamroom.net>your name link at top right>your hosting>server dashboard>
domain settings>email delivery log button. Then bookmark that email log page to get to it faster later.
