New "Kickbox" Email Validation module


Ning To Jamroom

Ok Michael, that sounds very reassuring. I won't need it for a while yet, but good to know it will be do-able. Thank you! :)

New "Kickbox" Email Validation module


Ning To Jamroom

Oh, ok, that'll be good once I'm live. :)

I ran everything through over on Kickbox for now and got my results for all my current members, so I'll be good for a couple months now.
But I still have had this question in mind for a while, can you enlighten me please?:

After I migrate live to JR and leave ning, I will no longer have those ning database csv files for my members that I could download any time I wanted. I see I can 'browse' certain profile/user info on JR, but how can I download it in order to sort and use the info in a spreadsheet or database form on my own computer? (like for instance using excel to search for duplicate names) ?

New "Kickbox" Email Validation module


Ning To Jamroom

Can you please tell me in SIMPLE terms how to get the text list of member emails and names from Jamroom into a spreadsheet like excel...or how to get the email list at least into a text form you describe above in order to paste it into the module tool?
I'm used to Ning where you just download a memberdata csv file that opens in excel.

I have not migrated from Ning yet, so I took my current ning csv and loaded it directly into kickbox which it works with fine (was happy to find a mere 2.5% invalid rate from 4800members).
But after I migrate live to JR and leave ning, I will no longer have those database csv files for my members. I see I can 'browse' certain profile/user info on JR, but how can I download it in order to sort and use the info in a spreadsheet or database form on my own computer? (like for instance using excel to search for duplicate names)

Thanks!

Is There A Way To Empty The Activity Feed Cache?


Ning To Jamroom

michael:
There will be shortly. A module "Batch Edit" is due for release in the next day or so. When that comes out you can update datastore items en mass and delete en mass too.

That's terrific!!!!! Will be soooo useful and helpful. Thank you !

Now Safe To Delete The Ning Archive?


Ning To Jamroom

That's awesome. Can't wait to attend to this myself once my site finishes it's final ning import.

Built in shopping cart for Jamroom?


Suggestions

The Paypal module only works for buying media- audio and cds, do I understand that right?
I have cool pinback buttons I sell with my network name and logos...my members wear them to music festivals so they can connect with each other and meet up. :)

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function


Using Jamroom

Ah, sorry, I posted before I saw your new post. :)
I did see why I couldn't see it- I had the folder within a folder, and once I sorted that out it popped up.
I'll wait to hear back on this, thanks.

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function


Using Jamroom

Ok, I loaded and installed the "Combined Videos" tab module you gave Michael.

I appreciate your effort, but it's not doing what I was hoping for, and I'm not sure you understand the stuff I've outlined and am needing to make happen. I may be able to use it elsewhere, but...
Your Combined Videos is presenting all combined videos of ALL members on the site. If I am on my profile page, it needs to present only MY combined uploaded, vimeo, and youtube videos, not everyone's. If I go to Joe Schmoe's profile page and click on his AllVideos TAB, it needs to show only the combined 3types of videos of Joe. It's Joe's profile page, to give us a picture of what Joe is all about.

Now what? Can I maybe pay JRTeam for some focused coding help. I feel like there are a few important issues that I am at a standstill with and I cannot solve myself.

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function


Using Jamroom

Yep let me try applying Michaels Profile page all-in-one video TAB for members.
If it works nicely, the next steps would then be:

--> enable members to ADD a video by clicking on a simple ADD VIDEO link or button that brings them to ONE place or form or page where they can select the type of video they want to add to the site's video pool, and then add it. This would be accessible from either their own profile page or the main page Video top-nav link or the video moduleblock, or within the main video area display grid (where you'd be taken if you click on "view all" videos.)

--> once that was in place, I could eliminate or hide the redundant other three "video" TABS on the profile pages, replacing them with Michael's all-in-one video tab on the member profile pages.

--> Lastly, on the site's main index page:
1) the top nav link for VIDEO I would want to have NO drop down for vimeo/YT. I want the top nav Video Link to go to a GRID (looking something like the images grid) with maybe 4 or 6 across colums of thmbnails (of all three types of videos) and as many rows as i set. These vids I will set to display by most recently added (just like Images/Photos). Each video should include underneath it at least the video title and the member name who posted it. (as it is now, I see nowhere the names of the members who posted the videos..??) It doesn't matter whether it's a vimeo or uploaded or YT vid (that only matters when they are adding a video)...on my site anyway, people want to see all the vids in the community and be able to browse, search, and click on them in one place.
and 2) the content module on the main page showing latest videos currently only shows latest UPLOADED vids. I want it to show latest vids of all 3 types, just as I describe above...except the module will be a shorter selection, with a "view ALL" option button. Again, the video title and member's name needs to be under each one, and clicking ALL will take you to that same big grid showing all the site's videos in a grid in one place, paginated of course.

I think Soaring Eagle accomplished all of this early on on his site, and way more besides (i don't need the way more part though). unfortunately I don't have his coding experience and can't make this consolidation happen for myself.
I guarantee there will be many more coming from Ning who are going to be asking for the same thing.

Hey I'm willing to pay you JR Team guys to get all this done for me...just let me know what's needed. This whole Video/Audio 5 location 'separateness' remains as probably the biggest single stumbling block in the way of my getting my site ready to go live. I need ONE location for aduio clips, and ONE for videos...whether they are put on my site via uploaded or through other medium. My senior members get lost on the way to their kitchen for a sandwich. I need to make sure there aren't five kitchens. ;)

I'll need to play with installing this and feedback tomorrow- it's bedtime. Thanks Michael!
