@soaringeagle -

I fear you are making too many assumptions about my level of knowledge and interest when it comes to diving deeper than I already have and am. It was worth the money to pay the JR team to make sure that my install was done properly, just as it was worth the money to ensure that the import was done properly. Yes, I probably could have done them, but I was able to do other things that needed my attention more just right now.

I am with @Strumelia when it comes to wanting a lot more plug-and-play when it comes to modules that just work when you drop them into place. While at the same time I completely appreciate the option to roll up my sleeves and write my own modules, should I ever want to.

At the same time, I approach the code base and the development process with something close to 30 years of experience working as a member of development teams - but never as a coder, or at least not a serious one. My engineering managers wanted me to pay attention to what the code was doing, not how the code was written. I can do a good deal of basic HTML and CSS and virtually zero PHP or Apache server config.

I want to spend time more time moderating my community rather than tinkering with it and tweaking it. I started my blogging career back in 2001 using Dave Winer's Userland. From there I migrated to Expression Engine, manually copying over the content. I went cold turkey in early 2008 when I stopped my blog and opened my Ning community. I've been there, done that, and paid my dues.

Okay? You may find something easy to do and I may not. Just as I may find some things easy to do that you do not.

I appreciate your urging me not to think too much and just go do it. And I have in many respects in the migration to JR from Ning. I've done a lot more looking at code in the past two weeks than in the past five years and I am sure that I will be doing a lot more of it, way past my comfort zone.

@Paul -

Just for reference my name is Clay and you can call me that.

I would appreciate your doing the import because, while you're there ... have you been following along on the thread about my not being able to get a cloned skin to work properly?

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/ning-to-jamroom/20644/ningja-skin-update


It looks like all my code is in the cloned skin (nsNewChocSkin) but some of the files are not being interpreted properly. Footer.tpl looks okay but index.tpl is not being rendered close to properly and there are issues in the desktop menu header template. Using Compare is also generating 404 errors for me.

TIA -

@TeamJR -

Two questions but I don't need the answers today on this complete package of awesomeness.

1) Are the Arvixe guys going to be trained up on the Apache config side of things? Having them make sure things are set up on their side would be great, maybe a couple of scripts can be written that we can use to semi-automate what's needed.

2) I am going to assume that this is something that's quota configurable and FoxyCart enabled? I can create a "customprofile" quote and charge for it.

Have you modified your Event page to display the URL that was in the Ning events listing? I don't see it on the page and I think it would be useful. A code snippet would be helpful.

Ningja skin update

Ning To Jamroom

That's what appears to be happening here.

Which does not explain why I can't pick directories using the pop-up. I am sure 404s are not the usual behavior.

Is there any reason NOT to upgrade to the latest core beta in the middle of this?

In Filezilla, when I click on jrNingja the directory for 1.0.11 is highlighted and the jrNingja directory icon has a question mark on it.

@Brian -

How do I tell? I only have access to the filesystem via FTP and the CPanel file manager.

In Filezilla, when I click on jrNingja the directory for 1.0.11 is highlighted and the jrNingja directory icon has a question mark on it.

The basic install was done via Softaculous and verified by Paul. Since that install, everything has been done via System Updates.

Ningja skin update

Ning To Jamroom


Bran - hard to tell if it's empty because of the symlink. All I know is that I get a 404 when trying to select it. And then I get a 404 when trying to re-select 1.0.11.

Looking at things in my FTP client:

1.0.09 has files in it with dates of 12/22/14
1.0.10 has files in it with dates of 12/27
1.0.11 has files in it with dates of 12/29
nsNewChocoSkin skin directory has dates of 1/7/15

Ningja skin update

Ning To Jamroom

I only have 1.0.9, 1.0.10, and 1.0.11 to select from. I choose .09 and the display updates properly - and I can see all my changes.

I then select 1.0.11 and I get the 404.

Ningja skin update

Ning To Jamroom


Yes it does and I think I may know where the problem may lie. I don't know WHY ... BUT ...

When I select template version 1.0.10 from the pop-up I get a 404 error. I go back one page in the history and then select 1.0.09 and the compare works properly.

Now, when I select 1.0.11 (or 1.0.10) I get a 404 error (a nice custom one, I should add).

The munge-up in the page formatting appears to be in index.tpl and in the desktop_header_menu.tpl. There's also a pair of asterisks I don't remember adding in surrounding the word "images" in the page header on that page.

-- edited to add --

There is no jrNingja skin 1.0.10 in my release archive. There is a directory for it, so that's why I have to assume that it is selectable.
