birthdate field from Ning backup

Installation and Configuration

I'm not sure if JR can handle negative unixtime, and even if it did, with the current date field calendar entry system a user would have to click the previous month button hundreds of times to get back to pre 1970!!
I wonder if the answer might be using some of the php date functions as modifiers on the field as is in the template(s).
Let me check that out.

birthdate field from Ning backup

Installation and Configuration

The problem is that in Jamroom, all dates are stored in unixtime format which only goes back to 1-1-1970 so is not suitable for storing birthdays so when developing the NingImport module I just saved the birthday field 'as is' in text format, thinking that I'd look at it again if and when the issue was raised, which is now lol
The date could be split and saved as three fields, user_birth_year/month/day but that is a bit clunky. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

Admin Radio

Is 'admin radio' a playlist?
Unfortunately you can only add songs one at a time to a playlist.

I think I have to be following you for you to be able to send me a PN.
Send the login to support[at]jamroom[dot]net instead.

How many users do you have?
Are you using the Kickbox free account? That will only test 100 emails a day so puzzled that you say 'every' email, unless you have less than 100, that is.
If you want, send us your admin login so that we can take a look.

Soundcloud playback counts are skyhigh?

Using Jamroom

Actually, there is no way to know if an embedded player like soundcloud has been played so the play counter is incremented every time the page is viewed on the assumption that the player is likely set to 'auto play' anyway.
Not ideal, I know!!

OK - Let me have the logins after the final import and I'll get all the videos converted for you.

If reseting the site completely and doing a full Ning import using this method, be sure to clear the /data/media/0/0/Ning_Media folder as NIng media files imported this way have a different naming format and you might end up with a load of redundent files from previous import(s) taking up disk space.

Currently our conversion servers are only automatically enabled for sites using out hosting but let me know when you have done your final import and I'll temporarily hook you up to them (I'll need your admin and FTP logins to do this).
We did plan once to offer conversion services to non JR hosted sites as a subscription service. Might that be something you'd be interested in, going forward, or can your server handle user video conversions itself? I imagine that there would not be that many on your site so maybe that is the case.
