Ning Import module uprevved

Installation and Configuration

The Ning Import module is now at V1.1.17 and has had the check for 'Un-approved' items in the archive removed as this has turned out to be another Ning anomaly. It seems that if a Ning item is set to 'un-approved' in the archive it still shows on the Ning site so needs to be imported.
Affected items are Blogs, (global) Forums, Groups and Discussions.
So if the Ning Import for these items is run again, using the 'Create Only' option, you may recover some missing items.

Missing 8 groups on Ning Import

Installation and Configuration

Have gone back to PlanA and just removed the 'Approved' test as setting the pending bit only works if the JR module is set to approve items in the first place (it overrides anything that NingImport sets) and in most cases this wouldn't be the case.
Clay - have imported the extra groups on ChoccyLife. You also now have some extra Group Discussions, Blogs and Forum posts because of this.

Yeah. Point me to a few examples where its happening and I'll check their URLs and try to sort things out so that all your referenced files are in /data/media/0/0/Ning_Media and texts point to that location.

If it is the URLScan module that is causing the issue, let me know and we'll fix it up somehow.

If these are in comment text etc. and are to referenced files originally in the archive, you may need to use the 'Update Base URL' in the NingImport module to tidy things up as the was the module handles these referenced files over its evolution has changed a couple of times.
Let me know if this is the case and I can help.

You need to tell it which playlist, something like -

{jrCore_media_player module="jrPlaylist" item=$item}

Missing 8 groups on Ning Import

Installation and Configuration

Actually, have just checked the Ning Import module and the 'approved' element can also happen in blogs, forums, group discussions and pages so what I think it would be best to do, go forward, is to import 'un-approved' items anyway, but with their Jamroom 'pending' flag set. This way, admins would then have the option of accepting or deleting them from their ACP.

Not at my pc atm so cannot check but if you have the urlscan module enabled try disabling it. I have a recollection that it strips tags.

Just read Clay's post again. OK, if 'un-approved' groups are showing on Ning sites the archived 'approved' setting must be another Ning anomaly. I'll change the importer to not check for that.
Clay, shall I do that on your site and bring in the missing groups?
