How much will it REALLY cost?

Installation and Configuration


Correct. It's only our modules and skins that are free to use when hosting with us.

Its only 4PM where I am
Just to be clear, you add the 'Community'profile on the Jamroom site. Not sure if you have added it to Ning and then redownloaded the archive.

But ideally, when downloading the archive you need to 'freeze' the Ning site so that no new profiles or content are created there during the transition to Jamroom. Don't know Ning that well so not sure if that is possible?

Installation and Configuration

When importing 'global discussions' from a Ning archive you have two options.

1) Import them to the Jamroom Forum module
2) Import them to a Jamroom Group

The differences are that the forum module provides more flexibility for managing categories, topics and posts but user posts on topics are 'flat', ie. one after the other by time posted, whereas group discxussion comments can optionally be 'threaded'.

Whichever you choose, in Jamroom, all forums and groups (as well as all other module items) belong to a profile, so I would suggest that prior to import, you create a profile called (say) 'Community'. Then you can configure the import process to allocate 'global' discussion to this profile's forum or group.

Hope that helps

Problems with profiles on fresh import

Installation and Configuration

The problem is that even /steve-lynn-ashby and /edward-lyster give a 404 error even though they are valid profiles and their datastore entries look good.

Have looked at the offending profiles on the DS and can't see why they don't work when others do. It might be nginx I guess but I don't see how. Let me see if Brian has any suggestions.

I've got all the signup questions sorted. This is actually an issue in the NingImport tool. I'll get that fixed up.

Have clicked on a few random galleries and they all work so far. Have you an example of one or two that don't?

1) goto Ning Import Tools and click on the signup questions button. This will create all the questions/answers in the user data store.

2) I would need to check out your site to see what is happening here.

Iirc Vimeo didn't provide category in their video data which is why I did include it when developing the module. If that wasn't the case, or they are doing it now then yes, we can add it in.

I recall this happening when I had a DO server and I think I fixed it just by restarting apache

That's good.
