Pages imported from my ning site

Ning To Jamroom

Simple question for anyone on the JR Team:

I have not gotten around to this yet, and tried searching here for the answer, no luck, so please remind me again?:

I know my "pages" got imported from my ning archive and they got parked someplace and I now want to assign each Page to its proper parent Group. Where the heck do I find those un-associated Pages again? d'oh. I need to put them where they belong and I can't remember where they were put by the Import Tool. Where do I go to do this again please?

Related to this- will I need to do this again if I do a fresh import, or has something been changed since a month ago when I did my first ning import?- in other words, will pages still get parked where they are now each time I do a new import of a ning archive? (presumably not more than 1 or 2 more imports would be needed to do anyway)
Thanks for answering these two "Pages" questions.

Wait a second- before I start a new import, I just want to be totally sure that the newest Import Tool has the fix we recently discussed:
"We only realised the other day that Ning included suspended and left members in their archive so quickly added in the options to filter them out on import."

That's now been fixed in this new V1.1.10 version of JR Importer, and so now by default the suspended members will not be installed as normal members, right Paul?

Ah, so for my purposes it might take far less time to simply 'create only' when I next import my fresher archive. Thank you Paul! (and yes I will hold off until we hear from you that the fixes have been made)

My Developer Tools skin cloner is not working right

Ning To Jamroom

That's wonderful news! Thank you so much Brian!
Yes I will not touch the cloner til you say it's ok, and after the next core update.

All too happy to hold off til you give the ok Paul.

--> Question for PAUL:
Also, isn't there an option besides "delete and replace" that will leave in place content that is identical both on the site and in the fresh archive and is already in place on the site?- and that that option would take far less time? And...that same option would also delete stuff that's on the site but not in the fresher archive being imported? (in effect like an incremental hard drive back up that doesn't touch stuff that is still identical on both ends)
(sorry, hope you can understand my question, Paul)

Are you sure it isn't simply that you are seeing the profile info in the SIDE bar while I am seeing it along the TOP?

If we have a fresher ning archive and start by checking 'delete and re-import' and start with profiles/members re-import, then if I understand correctly any test members or friend site testers we have added or who have joined our JR site since the last ning import will be deleted, correct? And that goes for content as well if we check that option for every module folder as we import our newer archive? All our 'test' posts and say videos we posted as a JR test will be deleted if that option is checked for Discussions and Videos, etc, right? Just want to know what to expect, thanks.

My Developer Tools skin cloner is not working right

Ning To Jamroom

Still not able to use any of my cloned skins. When i look at the code in the clone's templates, it shows my customizations just fine. But when i activate the cloned skin, my site does not show my customizations.

This is frustrating because it means I cannot do as you all suggest, which is clone the skin and only make modifications to the clone, not the main Ningja skin. I cannot do that because I can't set my clone as the active skin since my site won't show my mods when its activated. Thus, I have to keep making modif.'s to my active Ningja skin, not to my cloned skins. I gotta solve this clone puzzle eventually. I need to be able to make a cloned skin that I can activate and USE, and have the skin's customizations show up on my site. As it is now, I only use the clone to make a safe copy of my code modifications before I update the Ningja sklin each time. Then I look for and copy/paste my custom codes changes one by one into each new updated Ningja skin version every time Ningja gets updated. But this seems like it will become a monumental task as i add more and more customizations for my skin templates, in trying to develop my site's appearance.

OR...maybe I am misunderstanding? Maybe this is the way the Cloner is SUPPOSED to work? Simply as a way to keep a non-working COPY of your custom template code changes.... am i supposed to then just keep copy/pasting all my various customized codes into every new Ningja skin updated version and keep using the Ninja skin as the active skin?
(Can you tell I'm confused?) =8-\
