Something To consider when leaving Ning


Ning To Jamroom

When I went live with my JR site and changed the URL from ning- I didnt realize at the time that this would cut off my acess to my Ning accout-when i wanted to shut off the billing with Ning there was no way to do it within the Ning platform-My work around was to go into Paypal and suspend my subscription payment to Ning for $59.95/month

When the billing cycle came due I got a notice from Ning telling me billing failed- I wrote them right back and told them I had moved the site and this apparently stopped me from notifying them of the change. Keep in mind they bill BEFORE the month you use not after...

Anyway- I received a reply from Ning stating that I needed to read their terms of service and that I was fully responsible for the $59.95 I had not even used..

Long story short I replied to them and told them they needed to read MY terms of service " which involved some F-BOMBS which I seldom lower myself to :) and I explained to Ning MY terms of service involved not paying a lying/scamming platform that spent years making promises about HOW I OWN MY WEBSITE and about their broken promises/lies concerning 3.0 and all that....told them it would be acold day in a southern location before they saw another dime from me!

Lol...they replied ( and to their credit) that they were going to grant me a 1 time pardon on this $59.95 bill...

Anyway back to the topic- remember to take care of business over in your Ning account before moving the URL

Editing Facebook Profile Page Metadata


Using Jamroom

Brian-I am seeing this issue in MANY places. I use Facebook to drive a great deal of my traffic to my site and when I share a page I count on the correct image being parsed or at least the OPTION to select the correct image
I just created a news page as an example and ran the URL through the Facebook Debugger tool-
I will add a screenshot above to the original post for you to look at ( wish you would condsider allowing images uploads in replies here in the forum)
As you can see from the screenshot the way OG:Image is configured in JR Metadata it pulls WAY TO many images from the page
REALLY need a fix or solution or workaround for this sometime
Thanks!

Converting ning urls to JR urls question...


Ning To Jamroom

The "current Url is the url you want to change- this is what its going to search for
New Url is the url you wish it to be

like

myoldsite.com
mynewsite.com

At least thats how I used it..

if you used {$Jamroom_URL} in place of http://www.mysite.com/image then you wont have to change image urls

If you didn then you will need to go through and replace myoldsite.com/images with {$Jamroom_URL}/images

not sure if you knew this- I found out the hard way ahd to change a dozen or so image urls

Proper way to call a template using Smarty?


Design and Skin Customization

I want to create a link that brings back a template indie the user profile page
Would this be the proper way to do it?
{$jamroom_url}/{$profile_url}/{$smarty.template_profile_video_entertainment.tpl}

This part I got from reading the smarty.net site but it doe not look like anything I have seen in JR templates yet so I figure I got it wrong?
{$smarty.template_profile_video_entertainment.tpl}
