John, remember there are no ning archives for 3.0 ning sites yet. All ning archives are currently for 2.0 sites.

Events - Adding Multiple Dates


Suggestions

So again, being on Ninja skin, will I need to follow the steps you outlined for Andy above in order to make multi-day events show their start and end dates? Hope I can put the code in the right location for both templates. =8-o

Events - Adding Multiple Dates


Suggestions

I see. On my JR Events page, I only see the one single start date. But are you saying that's only because these events were imported from the ning archive, and that future events would have start and end dates SHOWING if user puts them in when creating an event?
Guess I need to create a new sample test event to see. :)

Events - Adding Multiple Dates

brian:
I think you'll find that unless your site specializes in multi day events, that 99% of your events will be single day (or less), and the users can always add an END DATE to the description.
My recommendation would be to WAIT until you have users asking you for it.
Brian, I'm afraid not. ;) on my 5 yr old 4000 site, I'd say about 90% of all my Events consist of weekend or multi-day mountain dulcimer festivals, music camps, and gatherings all across the US and in other countries. Almost all of those run for more than one day.
I KNOW my members will be asking for this option, bigtime.

Events - Adding Multiple Dates

I'm on Ninja skin and bundle....should I go through the above steps to do this as well?
Seems to me there are tons of events that typically include a date range...festivals, music camps, programs or exhibits....
Why limit Events to one day by default?

Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality

I'm really liking the changes so far ...after the Image update and the "uncheck group by gallery".
YAY! so much more simple and logical and elegant. :)

Ningja skin update


Ning To Jamroom

Clay, this all confused me for a couple of months as well.
----you will be using your own custom skin, set as the activated one, from day to day, and make all your customizations on it. (NOT on your basic Ningja skin).
Then when a ningja skin update gets put out, you update your Ningja skin. After that, go into your CUSTOM skin and use the Compare templates function to look over all the templates that show a difference between your custom skin and the (updated) Ningja skin. You';ll see the same ones over and over, but new ones will pop up when you update Ningja. Look over all the highlighted differences and copy paste any new ones from the updated Ningja skin that you want to incorporate into yuor custom skin.
Dont keep customizing your Ningja skin- only keep 'updating' it. Use your CUSTOM skin to be activated and run your site on, and make your skin modifications to IT- not to the Ningja skin.

"I still need galleries as I mention, just that I want to be able to put each member's photos into a single gallery to start with. If they have to re-create their albums then that's not a bad thing, as most members never revisit what they upload."

-YES, please.

Like Clay, I'm not sure I can implement the other steps Brian suggested above either. :(
