Some Questions On Future Migration =) (From NING)

Installation and Configuration

Not sure how ranking might be affected in the short term, but with Jamroom you have full control over your page meta tags and we also have a SiteMap module which dynamically creates and maintains full sitemap.xml files so that a new site and subsequent changes to it should be indexed pretty quickly.

Some Questions On Future Migration =) (From NING)

Installation and Configuration

1) No, but we do have a free module specifically developed for Ning migrants that can partly address this issue. It can be configured to generically redirect incoming urls to the Jamroom equivalent, for instance http://mysite.com/groups (Ning) => http://mysite.com/group (Jamroom), or http://mysite.com/members (Ning) => http://mysite.com/member (Jamroom).

2) Yes. With Jamroom Hosted you created a Jamroom installation with your target (primary) domain - mysite.com, say - and the site is initially accessible as the 'secondary' domain - mysitecom.jamroomhosting.com. At any time, but usually when site development is complete and you are ready to go live, point your domain name servers to Jamroom Hosted and switch the site to its primary domain. It will then be accessible at mysite.com (once the name server change has propagated).

3) Yes - Most of our skins allow for GoogleAds in their configuration (just add your Google ID). Alternatively, just paste any ad script into the templates where you want the ad to show, or, if using SiteBuilder, paste the script into a 'code widget'.

Hope that helps

Custom User Group

Design and Skin Customization

I don't think this is possible with something custom as user groups and their permissions are deeply embedded within Jamroom's core code.
What might be possible though is to put these 'approval only' admins in their own quota then exclude the profile update and delete buttons from them with template code. However, if the admin did know how to build the profile/user update urls, he could still enter them directly and do updates. Having said that, a simple custom module to 'listen' for these forms and redirect if a member of the 'approval only' quota would be straightforward to build.

Any Other Templates?

Design and Skin Customization

Your credit card will not be charged until the end of the 14 day trial period. If before then you decide that Jamroom isn't for you, just delete your server and no charges will be made.

This can likely all be done with some CSS editing on your site. Can you point us to your Ning site so that we can see what you want to achieve?
Thanks

Any Other Templates?

Design and Skin Customization

'Ning Three Column' layouts can easily be replicated using our SiteBuilder module. Basically, you select/create the page layout then add 'widgets' to the locations to show the required content. Many ex-Ningsters have already gone this route. Alternatively, if you are familiar with HTML and CSS you can do what Strumelia suggests and create a custom site exactly how you want it. Jamroom is fully flexible.

I suggest that you try Jamroom out with our 14 day free trial on 'Jamroom Hosted' - https://www.jamroom.net/hosting - Spin up a server and let me know if you want help importing your NIng3 members.

Group Discussions exist but are "not found"

Using Jamroom

This has been fixed up with small template changes to both your sites. These changes will be in the next releases of Ningja and GroupDiscuss
Thanks

Having a Jr4 sandbox space in a Jr5 hosting

Jamroom Hosting

Unfortunately Jamroom4 will not run on our servers. Jamroom4 development stopped nearly three years ago and since then the php we use has progressed to the point where the old requirements for JR4 are no longer supported.
Sorry.

Favicon Creater missing documentation

Using Jamroom

Thanks - When creating the documentation we first created all the place-holders. Looks like that one is yet to be filled. We'll get on with that.
Thanks for letting us know.
