Missing 8 groups on Ning Import

Installation and Configuration


Could do, or maybe import 'un-approved' groups with the pending variable set?

Missing 8 groups on Ning Import

Installation and Configuration

The seven missing groups are tagged as 'un-approved' in the Ning archive so as such, were not imported.

In reality, in your archive, only 13 out of the 20 have the 'approved' array element and that is set to 'Y'. The other 7 do not have the element at all. I noticed this when developing the Importer and made the assumption that as Ning went to the effort of including the 'approved' => 'Y' array element, if it wasn't there, the group must be 'un-approved'.
Is it likely that your missing groups were un-approved Clay?

Creating a sandbox copy of current site - without images - best way

With JR Hosting, when you create a server a JR install is automatically created at a URL something like claygorndan1.jamroomhosting.com
You can then create anoth JR install with the domain thechocolatelife.com and that will be visible at thechocolatelifecom.jamroomhosting.com
When you then point the actual domain DNS servers to jamroomhosting you can then switch the second install to its real domain.
I believe that Brian has offered to move your site over When JR hosting is fully set up, users will be able to do that themselves from the hosting control panel, so maybe if you can wait for that then you'll be able to copy the site to both JR installs, assuming it ends up working that way.

Yes - You'll get a "ERROR: photo archive file not found for . . ." message but the script will then just go on to the next one.

I tried it on my dev site using the Nova skin and comparing the header.tpl template. Have just tried it again and am seeing the issue.

Your right - the Loader mode only works with profiles. IIRC that tool was created in the early days of JR5 when we wanted to quickly build sites with many 1000s of profiles just to test the datastore performance.
So back to your original question, you could patch the importer script to only import 'N' members but then if you did the same for the other items there's no guarantee that the first 'N' blogs, say would belong to any of the 'N' members imported. You also still have to upload all the files as they are not in any order so you wouldn't know which ones belong to the first 'N' items.
If photos are the biggest issue with this, maybe just don't upload/copy the photo archive and not import them?

Clay - can I log into your site to take a look? Email me your latest JR and FTP credentials if so.

I'm seeing that as well - we'll check it out.
Thanks for letting us know.
