Jamroom Hosting is now live for everyone!


Jamroom Hosting

The orange HOSTING button 'is' showing for me right now, when I am on my profile page here. (gotten to when I simply click on my name in the top nav bar.)

Disabling User and Maintaining Their Content


Ning To Jamroom

Asil:
This was an issue on NING also. Their solution was to make it so once a posted item (discussion, blog, photo, video, etc.) had been commented on, the original poster no longer had the ability to delete the entire thread.
They could still delete their own content, but not the content of others.

I think on Ning though, even despite that setting...if a user created a Group and the group became popular or important, then if the member left and checked the "delete my content" box, the entire group and everything in it would be GONE.

One other quirk that applies to those migrating their content from Ning to JR:
I found that after an archive import of my ning content, I was missing a handful of Groups. Upon investigating, Paul and I figured out that those particular Groups had been created by some of my Ning members who had since left my ning site, but their Groups were still there (they had not deleted their content, but they left my ning network and deleted their profiles). Thus, the groups were in my archive but the JR import tool could not find the groups' owners amongst the member profiles, so it could not import and activate the group because it was an 'orphan'.
Paul was able to reset those groups so that they were seen as having been created by me instead, and then they could import and show up fine again. So- after a ning migration, count your gropups and see if any are missing due to departed ning members.

Just to clarify further for Perrie...
Assuming you now have a recent copy of your Ning Archive on your drive at home...

The Jamroom folders and files and modules etc remain on your JR server, stored by JR and backed up every day by them for you.
In that stuff (on the JR server, in the right side panel of Filezilla) you will see a folder called "public_html". That is the folder in which you are going to put your Ning_Archive folder which contains all your Ning backup/archive. Thus, once you successfully establish the filezilla sftp connection between your computer and the JR server, you'll have your Ning arcive folder selected in the left panel (on your computer at home), and you'll have the public_html folder open in your right panel (located on the JR server)...then you will be looking for an "upload" button to start your UPLOAD of your ning content to the JR server.

UPLOAD is where you are putting something from your location onto a location on the internet. DOWNLOAD is when you are pulling or copying something from the ("Remote")internet onto your home/("Local") computer or hard drive.

Installation and Configuration

awesome awesome awesome...love when I can do stuff!

Still darn proud of myself that last night I changed the Groups Page to list groups in order of the number of members instead of whatever it was that seemed rather random to me. (Paul I swiped the code snippet for that from the module you tweaked for me on my index page)...and I knew where/how to put it myself to tweak the Groups page, and changed the page break number too... :D

Oh, and on the profile sidebar I assumed it should be in multiples of 5 to look even once people had tons of followers... so I set it for 50 instead of 25. :)

paul:
Is this when showing latest followers in a profile sidebar?
If so, you'll need to increase the limit setting in the template. What skin are you using?

Paul, within which template in ProfileFollowers module would we be changing this number setting? I think I can do it if I know the template to look in...

Perry, get your FileZilla program/account going.
The windows on the left will be showing your 'local' stuff- on your computer. You need to get your filezilla set up so that first you can see your local computer content in the left side windows. Navigate to where you keep your JR and Ning stuff.
Then you need to put in the info to connect to your jamroom server so that your stuff on your JR server (folders, JR modules, other stuff) will be showing in the right hand windows...that way you can transfer things back and forth.

you'll need to fill in info in the upper boxes to make a connection to your (remote) JR server. The "Host" is your JR site IP address. Port: 222. Choose "SFTP" connection.
Login type: normal. User: jamroom
Password- your jr server access password.
then hit 'connect' and see what it says and does.

Once you successfully connect to your server, look for "sites" and then for your domain folder. In that you;ll see a folder called public_html. That's where all your JR stuff is. Inside that folder, you'll see your JR folders of stuff. Be careful not to delete stuff without really knowing what you are doing. Right click inside the area in the public_html folder to 'create directory' and you can create new folders...I have one called Lisa Misc. You will be uploading your ning archive into a folder you name Ning_Archive (use that exact name). don't put a whole Ning archive folder within another new folder. You could actually just upload your whole ning archive folder and then rename it Ning_Archive once its there...or upload one ning folder at a time (like "discussions", Groups" etc) into a new Ning_Archive folder you create in public_html folder. I renamed my ning archive folder "Ning_Archive" BEFORE i uploaded it to my JR server.

Somehow, you will want to 'save' or bookmark the site connection to your JR site before you disconnect, so that later you can just click on the extreme upper left drop down ox for 'sites' and it will suot-connect again ...using the 'site manager' of filezilla.

Hope somehow this helps.

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function


Using Jamroom

I've asked Soaring if he would check in here, it might help.

I need to make changes to both the Main/Home/Index site page AND something to help it on the profile pages as well. Could be two different things that need doing.
