Messaging Group Members

Using Jamroom

You're not missing anything, there has never been a way to message group members. HOWEVER, we have just developed a new 'addon' group module, GroupMailer, that adds this feature and allows group owners to mail/notifiy all members. We'll get this released next week after some final testing.

Jamroom 4 Archive Site

Off Topic

Are you logged into the Jamroom4 Archive site with the user you bought the licences under?

Groups - Page not found!

Installation and Configuration

Can you explain exactly what you are doing? Am a bit confused. Did you run an Integrity Check at any point that may have fixed things (NingImport still imports archived groups as an older JR format and needs the IC to be run after an import in order to fix things up).

Is the group private?
Can we have some urls so that we can take a look?

My Jamroom

Off Topic

Hi - The Jamroom 4 site, and all Jamroom 4 downloads is archived here - http://archive.jamroom.net
Hope that helps

Some questions =)

Installation and Configuration

Are there lots of audio/viodeo uploads in your archive? If so, then yes, 48GB might be pushing it. Our next plan size is 96GB which would certainly be ok.
You can filter the import by time - only import content less than a year old, say. A lot of the archived Ning images are embedded in the item comments so truncating comments in threads older than a set time could save some space. It really all depends on what is in your archive already!!
If you do start with a 96GB server, and then delete or filter content, you can always 'downsize' after the import.

Some questions =)

Installation and Configuration

Just to add to what Michael said, I've not tried the new @n8flex skins, but in principle they should work ok with imported Ning media but may not, by default, show all Ning content (groups etc.) so may need some additional template work to do that. Again, you would need to discuss that with @n8flex if you are considering using one of his skins.

You say you have your Ning2 backup ready so presumably you have it all downloaded to your PC via their archiver tool, including all media and image files? If so, check how big it is on your disk so as to assess the size of server needed. Also remember that Jamroom converts and stores additional copies audio and video files so that they will play ok on all devices (desktops, mobiles and tablets) so double (or triple to be safe) the size taken by all these files in your archive.

We do have a 'Domain Mapping' module specifically developed for Ning migrants that can generically map Ning2 urls to their Jamroom equivalent so that should go some way to resolving that issue.
Hope that helps, and let us know if you have any further questions and when you are ready to proceed.
Thanks
Paul

Add a note to Banned Items module ?

Suggestions

Thanks for the idea - We have noted it and hopefully it will make it into the module at some point.

Foxycart Shipping Costs Question

Using Jamroom

Hopefully Brian can jump in here as he is currently working on updating the FoxyCart module and may have this under consideration.

Genosis Setup

Genosis

The other thing to consider is that whilst you can have multiple domains/Jamroom sites on your server, it then effectively becomes a 'shared' server with overall performance issues should any of the domains become particularly busy. If this idea takes off with many users you may need to consider a seperate server(s) - (again, difficult to define how many 'many' is but maybe 20/30 domains on a server).
Also, you are our customer, not all of your potential users, so make sure you know Genosis well and are able to support your users directly with their questions about it.
