Something To consider when leaving Ning


Ning To Jamroom

Yeah Ok...still trying to understand because my site was built on 3 different servers using 3 different domain names to get here...actually more that thas- Arvixe-Rose Hosting_ Linode then finally here to JR Hosting
Just so I understand is your live JR site going to have a different url than your live Ning site?
If its the SAME URL as your ning site- will you transfer your Ning site to a new domain name to keep it BEFORE you make the JR hosting the live site?

If your site is www.strumella.com and its hosted on ning right now- when you move the domain/hosting to jamroom-then when you go to www.strumella.com you will see the jamroom version....how will you SEE the nin version of www.strumellia.com so you can get to your control panel?

Sorry just having problems wrapping my brain around this and understanding what I could have done differently... all I can come up with is I could have kept the A Record pointing to www.strumell.ning.com and reached it that way

Hello Strumella
My issue was actually that when I changed the domain listing to JR server- i could no longer access my Ning control Panel because when i went to mysite.com it displayed my jr site and no way for me to get back into myningsite.com control panel
You may have created some other sort of link or have a work around for this but my intention was like yours-go live on JR but keep my Ning console
BUT the console disappeared when I went live to JR

How to add a contact link to the profile?


Installation and Configuration

ohhh...and another place to edit profiles like 360 said above is in your skins look for something like

profile_index.tpl
profile_header-index.tpl
profile_footer.tpl
profile_video_index.tpl

etc..........

Just type some characters in each and view the page- this will help you find THE CORRECT template to edit AND the place in the correct template to edit

How to add a contact link to the profile?

Dang- this video came out a little blurry- if you need a better version let me know

https://youtu.be/O2JSxoQCcBI

Not included in the video- but here I think we have to remember we are editing a module- which could possible be broken with updates-I am not sure in some instances like this- so to be SAFE just make the code I am copying from jrComments module into a template and insert the code that way into your template page

so here is my code

{*Use this for comments under profile image on profile*}
<a id="{$jrComment.unique_id}_cm_section"></a>
<a id="comment_section"></a>

<div id="{$jrComment.unique_id}_comments" class="comment_page_section">

    {* see if profile owners can delete *}
    {assign var="profile_owner_id" value=0}
    {if $_user.user_active_profile_id == $_item._profile_id && $_item.quota_jrComment_profile_delete == 'on'}
        {assign var="profile_owner_id" value=$_item._profile_id}
    {/if}

    {if $jrComment.pagebreak > 0}
        {jrCore_list module="jrComment" search1="comment_module = `$jrComment.module`" search2="comment_item_id = `$jrComment.item_id`" order_by="_item_id `$_conf.jrComment_direction`" profile_owner_id=$profile_owner_id pagebreak=$_conf.jrComment_pagebreak page=1 pager=true pager_template="comment_pager.tpl"}
    {else}
        {jrCore_list module="jrComment" search1="comment_module = `$jrComment.module`" search2="comment_item_id = `$jrComment.item_id`" order_by="_item_id `$_conf.jrComment_direction`" limit="500" profile_owner_id=$profile_owner_id}
    {/if}

</div>


{if jrUser_is_logged_in() && $_user.quota_jrComment_allowed == 'on'}

    <div id="comment_form_holder">
    <div id="comment_form_section">

        <div id="{$jrComment.unique_id}_cm_notice" class="item error" style="display:none;">
            {* any comment error loads here *}
        </div>

        {if $_conf.jrComment_threading == 'on' && $_conf.jrComment_editor == 'on'}
        <div id="comment_reply_to" class="item success" style="display:none;">
            {* small note about how you are replying to when editor is enabled *}
            {jrCore_lang module="jrComment" id=18 default="Your Reply To:"} <strong><span id="comment_reply_to_user"></span></strong>
        </div>
        {/if}

        <div class="item" style="display:table">
            <div style="display:table-row">
                <div class="p5" style="display:table-cell;width:5%;vertical-align:top;">
                    {jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrUser" type="user_image" item_id=$_user._user_id size="small" alt=$item.user_name class="action_item_user_img iloutline" _v=$_user.user_image_time}
                </div>
                <div class="p5" style="display:table-cell;width:95%;padding:5px 12px;">

                    <a id="cform"></a>
                    <form id="{$jrComment.unique_id}_form" action="{$jamroom_url}/comment/comment_save" method="POST" onsubmit="jrPostComment('#{$jrComment.unique_id}', 'undefined', 5000, '{$_conf.jrComment_editor}');return false">

{*End of "Use this for comments under profile image on profile"*}
( Now the code above if you use it- its not going to work right off- when you add a comment and "save" it will give you an error message concerning an invaild module or something- this is where yo have to edit the smarty- sometimes combine it with other smarty in the same module and play with it to make it work---this can be the hardest part ( to me) and where I usually bring stuff like this to the forum to get help. )
When you get the code working correctly then do the below

Open notepad then paste this working code to a blank page in notepad and click "save as" and type the file name - in this instance I am using "jrComments_profile_comment_under_image.tpl" ( always end with .tpl if its a template file) then select "all file types" when saving.

Now go to your FTP and upload this notepad file to SKINS>Templates Folder

NOW you can remove ALL THAT code you copied from the "Comments" module and added to the "Online status" template- you wont need it anymore. ( I suppose you could just comment it all out if you wanted using the {* code is in here I want to comment out*}

Then when you get ready to insert it into some code somewhere you do not have to worry about an update breaking it- you can even edit it to display as many comments as you want 1-or 10 or more...just depends on how much space on the page you want to allocate to comments- I think you would insert the above into the place where you just removed all the code you copied over from COMMENTS module

Use something like this to insert it and adjust the variables you want:

{jrCore_list module="jrComment" template="jrComments_profile_comment_under_image.tpl" limit="6" pager="true" order_by="_created numerical_desc" }

That should put ALL that code back where you want it in a way that wont break on updates

That's really all I got for you on this- just MY way of trying to make all this make sense in a way that allows me to work in the platform with so little experience

I know I must have some of this wrong- but I welcome anyone to chime in and correct me so we can ALL learn

I do this stuff and sometimes get lost in it-I know I may have gone a little overboard with this-but forcing myself to actually outline the steps I use has also helped me today to understand exactly what MY process in all this is- so I apologize if there is more here than asked for

:) IF WE ARE LUCKY someone knowledgeable will edit the above code so it works for us :) man I love it when that happens but these guys are like school teachers- they COULD give you the answers BUT they prefer to give you the HINTS to figure out the answers on your own...always disliked that part about teachers :)

this works no matter what skins you are using
I dont think you will find any educated self respecting coder sharing something like this...but I am none of those and I have no shame- so ENJOY! and pardon the audio

Dave-see if you are wanting the same button I have here for "posting guidelines" if so i will send you the template location

http://drillingahead.com/drilling-ahead

If so- then its just a matter of going into templaes and typing ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ all over the place then saving and looking at the page...soon as you find the right template/location the ZZZZZZZZZZ will show up - add your button code and link in that location

MOST of these template are located here
Go to your admin profile- click the templates tab- start typing ZZZZZZZZ and viewing the page till you find the location you want

The one template outside this in my skin is profile_index and its in the main skin directory

Or you could play with copying the template code from COMMENTS module into the main Profile template...which is what I am about to do here-been on the to do list for awhile.
