RE Ning Membership Data .csv


Installation and Configuration

Have added a Ning3 member import tool to the NingImport module but want to try it with a few other Ning3 CSV files before releasing it, so if anyone can let me have one just to test with, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks
Paul

Profile Index display based on quota id


Design and Skin Customization

Your if statement is wrong - Use two equals signs - {if $profile_quota_id == 1}

RE Ning Membership Data .csv


Installation and Configuration

Got the file - Yes, it does look as though the member ID is part of the Profile Address field so can extract and save that. Then you should be able to do a Ning2 content import so your members would at least have their content up to 2014.

RE Ning Membership Data .csv


Installation and Configuration

Ceri Shaw:One thing that occurs to me immediately....can the current memberdata be imported together with the year old backup? i.e. can I drop the old member list json in favour of the current .csv using your import file AND then import the old blog, forum etc json's from 2014.?

It depends on whether the Ning2 member ID is available in the Ning3 CSV file as all Ning2 content is referenced to that ID. Just had a quick look at the CSV file and there is a field "Profile Address" which looks like http://americymru.net/xn/detail/u_34enahvrink0b. I'm wondering if that '34enahvrink0b' bit is the Ning2 member ID - maybe you can check? Either that or send me the ning-member-local.json file from your Ning2 archive so that I can check this.
Thanks

Send it to paul [at] jamroom [dot] net

Good news about the Ning2 archive. If you want to try importing it to a JR site and need any help, let me know.

RE Ning Membership Data .csv


Installation and Configuration

Yes please. I just want to see what the CSV file looks like and what member data it has in it, then maybe use it to test the import script I will develop.

Have just taken a look at import.io - I guess it could be used to grab a current discussion thread then post it as a new Jamroom discussion, say, but it would be a bit tedious to do by hand for a big site, and I'm not sure by how much it could be automated (if at all).

RE Ning Membership Data .csv


Installation and Configuration

I've read that Plush claim to be able to 'scape' Ning pages for content, but I see it fraught with problems, complexities, and endless support issues, so don't want to go there.
Yes, I know that just importing members is not ideal, but until Ning release their Ning3 archiver (if they ever do), that is the only option, would be pretty simple to implement, and might be of help to some Ning users wanting an alternative.

New Free Module - Annika (Live Wall)

Hadn't considered pagination as I envisaged that a 'live wall' would only be used for latest items.
If pagination is really needed (a live update of page 2 of a list???) the page number (and page break) info would need to be passed to the template via the {jrAnnika_live_wall . . .} call.

Subrcriptions Quota Artist


Using Jamroom

You can have options to 'sign up' to different quotas without FoxyCart. You just need to configure the quotas as 'signup quotas' and the new user will be able to select which one when registering.
Hope that helps
