Group pages from Ning


Ning To Jamroom

Having now installed several Ning groups to our site, I am not seeing any of the many pages which were associated with those groups (please see image).

Is this because these cannot be imported to Jamroom via Ning Achieve?

Thanks in advance.

Two problems after Ning Import


Ning To Jamroom

paul:
I notice that the admin profile menu items are now showing. Have you done anything to fix it? If not, I guess it must have been a caching thing.
Paul it's a mystery. The profile menu items appeared on a new admin profile created yesterday, but not the older profile. Then at some time today they were also present on the older admin profile.

Strumelia:
I feel I should just mention something that caused me a little confusion when i first set up my site.
When I first set up on a Ningja skin clone, there was a default index page section/list for "Latest Discussions"...but at first I thought that must mean latest Forum discussions..when in fact it was a list of latest Group discussions. There was no section for latest Forum discussions. I felt this would be confusing for my members, so what I wound up doing was creating a home page section for Latest Forum Discussions, and another section simply showing a list of site groups, titled "Join a Group!"..instead of showing latest group posts. http://fotmd.com/
I also made it so that BOTH Forum discussion posts AND Group discussion posts would show in the main page Latest Activity feed. This made a big difference on my site in getting members involved in both forum and group discussions. I think i recall that it wasn't set that way by default on Ningja skin originally- only one(can't recall which one?) of them showed on the latest activity index page timeline...not sure if that ever got changed but I had a code fix for it on my custom skin I think, to make sure they both appear in the Timeline on Main page.
Of course everyone wants a different variation of home page setup, but thought I'd mention this because so many folks get confused by the 'group discussions vs. forum discussions' thing.

Thank you Strumelia, something to consider when the site is fully up and running. Still ironing out some clinches.

I've fixed this up on your site by SiteBuilding a page to show all group discussions. This should be handled as default by an index.tpl template in the GroupDiscuss module which is missing. This has been added to the next releade of the module.

Am checking out the admin profile issue.
Thanks
Paul

Much appreciated Paul. Trust you'll be able to sort everything out. It's been very frustrating trying to get it all to sync and work properly. It appears that profile pages for admins have not been created correctly, in fact one profile is missing completely, even though I can sign in with it.

Thank you Paul,

I have tried updating this several times but it does not change the URL, even after several site refreshings.
Also, Admin profiles are not showing profile names or top tabs as the other user profiles do. The quotas for admins allow for all modules, but tabs and profile names are absent on these profiles. Please see attached images.

Strumelia:

If that's not the way you want your site forums to be set up, then there is another way that makes it more separate- the jr Team can help you with that (I can't), and it's the way this JR forum is set up here where we're posting, and it does not use a 'profile forum' structure.

Strumelia,
Thanks for the info, but it didn't work my my site. Hoping someone can take a look at it and work out what the problems are.

paul:
The Media Conversion will sample a frame from the video file and create a thumbnail from it.

ACP=> Skins=> Site Index - Enter the full URL to your site forum there

Can't get the forums to link... keeps going to a "Not Found" page, no matter what URL I submit.
My site URL is - http://whitestone-fellowship.org.uk/social/ - but adding "forum" or "forums/forum" after this string make no difference, no matter how many times I reset the catches or do an integrity check.
How can I know for sure what the correct URL is, and where can I get the correct info for this from on my site?
The help (?) says it should be done using Site Builder, but doesn't say how.

Quote: 1. No thumbnail images for "Latest Videos" on Home page
Have you run the 'Convert Media' tool on the imported videos?

Quote: 2. No page (page does not exist) for "Latest Discussions" link (View All) from Home page.
What skin is this? If Ninja, have you set the forum link in the skin settings?

Paul - 1. All the videos are present and viewable - just not the thumbnails.
2. Cannot see where to link the forum in skin settings. Is this it (last picture) "group_discuss"?
