How do I setup a "sandbox" ?

Ning To Jamroom

Hi Deb - As Michael says, just create another site on your server - just pick any domain you want, mysandboxsite.com say, then copy your live site to it, as in the above docs. Have just checked and you are only using 15% of your server atm so you have plenty of space to do this. Your developer can then access the new site at mysandboxsitecom.jamroomhosting.com

This is working on my test site.
Can you let me know exactly what you doing so that I can try to replicate your issue?
Thanks

I'll check this out - I also believe they should all have the same image.
Thanks

How to add YouTube to the VideoPro skin?

Design and Skin Customization

YouTube thumbnail images are not store locally, as they are with videos, but the YT item data provides a URL to them.
Take a look at the YouTube module item_list.tpl template to see how its done, then edit your index_item_1.tpl accordingly.
The code to show a YT thumbnail will be something like this -

Checkout the NewsLetter module instead. Admins can create a message/newsletter and send it to specified quota(s).

sql inserting profiles

Using Jamroom

Actually, the information that I was going to put into the appendix is already in the documentation at https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/importing-merging-sites-to-jamroom/4755/json-file-format
Its the 'Intermediary JSON File Format'.
What is suggest you do is with the Exporter module, select the 'Export pre-formatted CSV file contents to JSON' plugin then create suitable CSV files to export. Take a look at the /modules/jrExporter/plugins/CSV/samples/sample_members.csv file for the required format. Then use that in conjunction with the above document to create your own CSV file.

Without seeing your sql inserts its difficult to suggest what might be going wrong. If I was doing something like this I'd build a small module instead of direct sql queries. The module would read the data from a CSV/JSON/Whatever file, format it the add it to the datastore using the correct Jamroom functions, handling any duplicate error etc. as it goes. That way there's a very good chance all will be well at the end.

Just looked at the Exporter/Importer docs. Yes, the appendix is missing. At the time I guess I figured I'd finish it later, then forgot about it !! I'll do it today and let you know.

So you've imported data directly into the profile datastore? If so, and you didn't do it using Jamroom functions you have likely by-passed all the error and data integrity checking that those functions do, so you could well have duplicate 'profile_url's and situations where ther wrong values are returned. How exactly did you try importing? Maybe checkout the Exporter/Importer modules that have a plugin for 'raw' data.

would I have to transfer my domain

Jamroom Hosting

No need to transfer your domain. If/when you are on our hosted you'd just need to point its nameservers to our servers. We have a doc on that, its easy to do.
And if you do move, just cancel your Premium trial before the 30 days and no charges will be made.
Hope that helps
