Configuring a group for my forum
Installation and Configuration

Hi Perrie
You are creating a profile called 'Community' that is going to effectively host the site's global forum. What I'm suggesting is that profile has its own quota with just groups enabled.
Actually this would only be necessary if your regular profile quota didn't have groups enabled but it would be a good idea to do it anyway as it might make things easier for you to manage as admin as this Community profile is a bit different to your regular profiles.
As for the three group modules, it is only the 'Group Support' module that is quota enabled. The other two (id installed) will see an enabled Group Support module and then work with it to provide those additional group features.

Problems with profiles on fresh import
Installation and Configuration

Hi Matthias - Good to see you again :-)
Yes - Let us know how you get on using Nginx, any issues you find and how they might be resolved. As stated above, we haven't actually tested JR on Nginx servers but if there are any adaptations we can make to JR we would be happy to know about them.
Cheers

Configuring a group for my forum
Installation and Configuration

I did explain how to do this above -
Quote:You need to first create a profile group that is to be used for the forum, then enter it into the NingImport configuration.

I'd suggest creating a profile called 'Community' then adding a group called 'Forum' to that profile.

To create the profile -
ACP=>Profiles=>User Profiles=>Tools=>Create Profile
Allocate 'admin' as the profile user.
(Prior to doing this you might want to create a quota just for this profile with just Groups enabled)
Then, as admin, goto http://yoursite.com/community and create the group called 'Forum'.
Whilst there, get the profile ID by clicking on the update (gear wheel) and looking at the ID in the URL.
Now go back to NIngImport config and enter the profile ID in the 'Site Forum Profile ID' field and 'Forum' (no quotes) in the Group Forum field.

Let me know if any of that is unclear and needs expanding.
Cheers

Changing what shows in the Groups Tab on profile pages
Installation and Configuration

You could actually show the groups a profile's user belongs to in the sidebar with code something like this -

    {capture assign="groups"}
    {literal}
        {if isset($_items)}
            {jrCore_module_url module="jrGroup" assign="murl"}
            {foreach $_items as $item}
                <a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.group_title_url}">{$item.group_title}</a><br>
            {/foreach}
        {/if}
    {/literal}
    {/capture}
    {jrCore_list module="jrGroup" search="group_members LIKE \"`$_user_id`\":" template=$groups}

Its a bit of a 'dirty' way of doing it as its picking out occurances of the _user_id in the group's members stored JSON string but it should work.
The template just lists group titles but when its working you can refine that.

I have had a look at this and its not as straight forward as I thought it might be and might need an update to the jrGroup module to make it work 'cleanly'.
Its a bit difficult for me to do any actual development whilst out of the country but will think about it more and see what I can come up with.

jrVimeo Category
Jamroom Developers

OK - Have checked a few Vimeo videos API data and am still not seeing any evidence of them having a category so still assuming they don't do that.
So as I suggested above, use the Form Designer so that your users could add it after import.

Changing domains with Arvixe
Installation and Configuration

This should be pretty straightforward.
When you create your Jamroom Server you can then create another install with the domain ourtownstory.co.uk - a temporary domain of ourtownstorycouk.jamroomhosting.com will be created.
There's then a tool to import your Arvixe site to it.
When that is done and tested, click the button to switch the temporary domain to the main one. Log into GoDaddy and set the ourtownstory.co.uk DNS to point to the Jamroonm server.
Wait a few hours and you then should be good to go.

Import Videos Error
Using Jamroom

Any JR4 custom fields will be imported into the datastore so if in JR4 you had 'video_embed', it will be imported to JR5 as 'video_jr4_embed' so that datastore field could be used in the JR5 video templates.

However, getting past the 'No File' error might be more difficult. You'll need to edit the jrImport/include/import_videos.php file.
Line 69 is the test for a video file so making that 'if(1)' will make it drop through that test, then the 'Get File' section starts at line 95. Removing that whole section through to line 125 might do the trick.
There might be other 'gotchyas'. Obviously, I haven't tried this!!

I'll check the Vimeo data again to see if there are categories.
If not you could just add the field with the Form Designer so that your users could add it after import.
