New here, hello everyone!

Just a FYI, for a complete Jamroom reset/re-install, delete the /data/config/config.php and all the folders in the /data/cache folder.
Drop all the database tables then in your browser go to the Jamroom URL and follow the instructions there to install Jamroom.

See https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/553/installation and start at the 'Installing Jamroom' section.

brian:You can click on the gear to "Modify your post" after you have posted it, and attach an image. No need to open a Support Ticket :)

Or you could do that instead ;-)
Sorry for the misinformation !!

quick reply needed why are my forums not showing up in menu


Installation and Configuration

I can see you forum without being logged in, but can only see the title bar of the Guides and Pages template. Can see the Guides and Pages list when logged in, so that implies to me that there is something in the jrCore_list parameters or its row template that is excluding non-logged in users.

Have a play with Jamroom first whilst your archive is uploading. Create a few profiles and blogs. Upload a couple of songs. Take a look around the ACP. Generally get the hang of how JR works.
When you are then ready to import Ning, its pretty straightforward to 'reset/reinstall' JR and start again from scratch.

Latest Ning Import module released.


Installation and Configuration

Ning Import module Version 1.1.14 is now in the Marketplace.

As well as fixing a couple of bugs, this module has two new, and important features.

1) All Ning discussions not allocated to a group that have previously been imported to the Jamroom forum module can now optionally be imported as group discussions allocated to a specified group. Group discussions support threaded comments whereas the forum module does not.

2) The Delete Media tool, which is the final process of the Ning Import, now also moves the remaining Ning archive to the /data/media/0/0 folder. This has the effect of making the referenced files in the archive 'part' of the Jamroom install. This is particularly useful if you are using the jrBackup module to backup your Jamroom to the Amazon S3 cloud as the contents of the Ning archive will now also be included in that backup regime.

Thanks

jamesh:Thanks Brian, I look forward to getting stuck in as soon as my upload finishes! I have purchased the bundle already, are there any issues I am likely to face during the import? It's 18GB. Also can I update the import at the point of going live? So as to have all of my Ning content at the point of the switch over?

Hi James - Just follow the Ning Import guide and you should be ok. Any questions, just post here on the forums.

https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/documentation/ning2jamroom

Also, make sure your installed NingImport module, and all other installed modules and skins are up to date.

And yes, just prior to going live you can run the import again with the latest downloaded archive. When doing so, if you select the 'Create' option for each item (not the 'Delete and Create') the importer will skip over any existing imported items and just create the new ones.

Jamroom Developers

Quote:It takes a lot of tweaking of templates and Jamroom can be quite confusing in the profile area, as it uses a number of different templates to make up a profile, depending on what area you are looking at. Not for the faint hearted really.

Possibly for 'regular' Jamroom skins, but the Ningja skin has been designed specifically for Ning migrants so will do the forum thing 'out of the box', as well as working, as far as possible, in a way familiar to Ning users.
