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.


Ning To Jamroom

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?


Ning To Jamroom

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!!

Ning To Jamroom

Hi Dave - Douglas's code is working for me !!

Do you want to send FTP logins and the URL that you want this working on so that we can check it out on your site?

Ning To Jamroom

If you know the individual post IDs you want to feature you use a {jrCore_list} in a template to show those posts -

{jrCore_list module="jrForum" search="_item_id IN 1,2,3,4" template="my_custom_forum_post.tpl"}

would show posts with IDs 1,2,3&4 via the custom template.

Out-of-the-Box Setups

davej56: I have the lyrics and credits displaying now. However, the lyrics are all run together. How can I show the format that the member posts with?.

Try doing the lyrics like this - {$item.audio_lyrics|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id} - it should sort out all the formatting for you.
