Missing plugins when importing from Ning and a question about the Pages module

Ning To Jamroom

Hi Ruben
With Jamroom, everything belongs to a profile, including forums. The configuration options for 'forum profile' in the NIng Import module are defining that profile. All imported topics and posts to that forum will still show as those members that created them. For instance, this forum is the jrForum module. Look at its URL above and see that the whole forum belongs to the profile 'The Jamroom Network' (the-jamroom-network). When importing from Ning to Jamroom, I will create an admin owned profile often called 'Community' with its own quota with just the jrForum module enabled, then set the Ning Import profile ID option to that.

Your setup for creating pages sounds identical to what I did, so yes, send your admin (and FTP is possible) logins to support[at]jamroom[dot]net so that I can take a look.
Thanks
Paul

Missing plugins when importing from Ning and a question about the Pages module

Ning To Jamroom

Hi Ruben - Welcome to Jamroom

The Discussion Forum module is not yet on general release but is an alternate forum module that works with the comment module instead of its own forum posts. The latest NingImport module has three options for importing Ning global discussions, including this new one, but I would recommend importing them to the jrForum module that you have as this gives the most options and functionality.

I've just tried creating a page as a normal user on a site set up as you describe with no issue. Can you give more details so as to recreate this?
Thanks

Using Jamroom

You'll need to create two sets of variables using the jrAnnika_encode smarty call, one for your members and the other for your artists, then have two 'onclick' links using these variable sets that define what is shown in the specified 'Live Wall'.

Looking for Help Customizing

Using Jamroom

Take a look at the header_menu_desktop.tpl (and the similar header_menu_mobile.tpl) template to see the menu structure. Its pretty straightforward and uses 'li' and 'ul' tags to create the menu and sub-menu items.
Remember that Jamroom4 and Jamroom5 work very differently some of your JR4 pages will line up with JR5 equivalents.

Suggestions

That information is already there. Add a {debug} to your template code to see the available smarty rating variables.

how can we view influences on a profile????

Using Jamroom

I guess the language index is wrong for the skin you are using. Make sure the id in {jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="49" default="Influences"} lines up with the 'Influences' id in the skin language file. Add it in if necessary then run the Integriry Check.

Don't worry Perrie/Michael - I was working on your site at the same time and did that, as explained in my email.

Haven't used FC that much. So is everything that is for sale on the FoxyCart datastore? If so, yes, that might be a better solution.

Or, if its in a template, use Curtis's solution

Choosing a specific member's blog post to show on homepage

Using Jamroom

Nothing to do with quotas - use the SiteBuilder listing widget. Set the List Module to Profile Blog, then use the search field(s) to select the profile and/or the blog. If its just one blog, set the Result Limit to one.
