Secret Codeword for Signup


Installation and Configuration

I don't think what you are trying there can be made to work, and even if it could, people could keep retrying until they hit lucky!!
What would be needed is a (simple) custom module that 'listens' for the signup form and rejects it it the codeword isn't right. Checkout this documentation on building a module - https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/26/creating-a-module

Alternatively, why not just pre-create all your users then tell them their user names and passwords?

Today is CVS awareness day


Off Topic

Hadn't heard of that one. Thanks for the heads up and hope that Sara eventually comes through it ok.
Just googled it here. Not many UK results but at least our NHS has a page on it - http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/cyclical-vomiting-syndrome/Pages/Introduction.aspx

Ning archiver issue


Installation and Configuration

BTW - Jamroom Hosting is now open to all so you can goto your profile page and 'spin up' your server. When done, upload the archive to it as per the Ning to Jamroom docs.

Ning archiver issue


Installation and Configuration

I've not done a Ning archive download myself but from what I see there, and from what I know about the structure of the archive, I would guess that the actual Members/Groups/Discussions will still be there in the .json files, but for whatever reason, the associated images for those Members/Groups/Discussions could not be included in the archive.
The upshot is that all Members/Groups/Discussions will be imported but some of them will have missing images.
So you could Retry the download of the archive with the missing images (and likely get the same result) or just live with a few missing images on your JR site - you can always upload new ones when on JR!!

Jamroom Hosting is now live for everyone!


Jamroom Hosting

To add to Brian's blog (and before anyone asks) your Hosting Control Panel (HCP) will also transfer your existing Jamroom site onto your new server.

1) Install the free Hosting module on your existing site
2) Enter your existing site FTP details into the HCP.
3) Click 'Start Import'.
4) Sit back and watch it happen!!

HELP


Using Jamroom

Hi @fabiola - Welcome to Jamroom.

Assuming you want to migrate from a Ning2 site, we can help (as yet, Ning3 does not have an archive tool - When it does we'll be checking out what we can do for Ning3 sites).

Checkout this documentation to see what it involved with the 'Ning to Jamroom' process - https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/documentation/ning2jamroom

Jamroom can run on your own server but if you are unsure how to do this I'd recommend using our 'Guaranteed Jamroom Hosting' where Jamroom sites are pre-installed, you have free access to all our modules and skins, plus VIP Support. You can at that point do the import yourself by following the above documentation, or we can do it for you (you'll first need to upload your Ning archive to the Jamroom site).

As for how much coding you'll need to know, you could use our Ningja skin 'out of the box' to show all your imported Ning content. You would only need to change the default logo image to your own, which you could do using the Jamroom 'Admin Control Panel'. However, with some basic HTML and CSS knowledge you can then start to customise the Jamroom templates to change the site's look, layout and functionality. Alternatively, you could use the Jamroom 'Site Builder' which is a 'drag and drop' package that allows you to build your site how you want it.

Hope that helps

Two things.


Installation and Configuration

Pam Givens:I want someone to build a site very similar to my NING site. You all have been very helpful to me but I pretty lost on how to even start.

Thanks Brian and Paul

Hi Pam
Are you wanting us to just import your Ning site and configure the Ningja skin for you, or are you wanting custom skin design so that your new Jamroom site might look similar to your current Ning site?
Thanks

Followers and following


Installation and Configuration

Is this when showing latest followers in a profile sidebar?
If so, you'll need to increase the limit setting in the template. What skin are you using?

what is this this new Ningja skin update for, please?


Installation and Configuration

This was a bug that when using the skin settings to actually specify which groups you want to show in the panel, if a specified group didn't have any comments, it wouldn't show.
I don't think this is the case in your setup so go ahead and update, and apply the change if you want - its only to one line of code that you are not using!!
