Looking to migrate a Ning network

Installation and Configuration

Hi Paul - Thanks for the enquiry.

I've recently posted this on the 'ExCreators' forum - It answers this question (unfortunately have not found a place for it here on jamroom.net yet!!) -

http://excreators.com/community/forums/topic/85/ning-2-3-to-jamroom-what-you-need-to-know

I didn't realise Ning had a 'likes' system. None of the other many Ning migrants here have ever mentioned it. I've also never seen any evidence of it in any of the Ning archives I've imported so assume that if there is a Ning 'likes' system, they fail to include it in their archives. Maybe it is a third party add-on?
So, the answer to this is 'no', 'likes' within group posts are not retained

Yes, we have a Like module (that also includes optional 'dislikes') that can be attached to any Jamroom item, including Group posts.

We have a ProfileTweaks module that allows members to upload their own header logo, add a backgroud image and select their profile index page. They can also select between all Jamroom skin options so they do have a choice of several 'fixed' styles.

We have several hostings plans - https://www.jamroom.net/hosting - all of which come with your own dedicated VPS server, Jamroom pre-installed, daily backups and VIP support. We also have services to import your Ning2 site for you.

Hope that helps
Paul

This might be a design question. How do I go about placing the timeline...

Design and Skin Customization

Open the widget editor, select the widget type as 'Item List', then in the List Module field, select 'Timeline'.
Then add other parameters to taste

New module causes white screen

Jamroom Developers

Have just looked at your code. Call the function

"function smarty_function_myBackTime_elapsed_time($params, $smarty)"

Then call it from the template as

{myBackTime_elapsed_time timestamp=$item._created}

Jamroom Developers

Is 'elapsed_time' a smarty function within your module? If not, then that could be the issue.
If its just a regular function that returns a value, call it like this - {$x = elapsed_time(Sitem['_created'])} then you can use $x in your template - {$x}
Note that 'elapsed_time' on its own as a module function name is not a good idea. It ought to be xxMyModule_elapsed_time so as to make it unique. If there are two elapsed_time functions you'll get a white screen, so maybe that is the issue?

Yes, it can be done that way

Can you make the Master Admin profile private, or does she need to be 'visible' on the site? Making a profile private makes all its content invisible to regular users.

Probably, but its best to keep all Jamroom modules up to date. Core 5.3 is stable. Any reason for not upgrading to it?

Suggestions

Thanks for the suggestion - we’ll check it out, but maybe browser bookmarks would do the same job?

Forum, Group or Discussion??

Installation and Configuration

Personally, I don't like threaded discussions for exactly that reason. To much jumping around trying to keep on top of things. That's why we advocate 'one issue, one thread' here on the Jamroom forums and tickets so that we can track things easier.
But hey, other users do like them so we give you the choice

Checkout the @perrie forums at http://thenewstalkers.com/community/discussion for an example of the Discussion module (using threaded forums).
