New Ning To Jamroom Support Forum

Installation and Configuration

I use a free FTP Client called Filezilla - https://filezilla-project.org
When configured and connected to your server the main left pane is your PC file system and the right main pane is the server file system so just select folders then "drag'n'drop".

New Ning To Jamroom Support Forum

Installation and Configuration

Hi Denis - Welcome to Jamroom
You also contacted us with these questions via a support ticket, so will respond here and close that ticket.

Are you following the Ning to Jamroom documentation here? -

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

That will take you thought every step of the process. From that you'll see that you now need to upload your Ning archive to a folder alongside your Jamroom install. This is done with FTP.
With the free Jamroom Core you'll be able to import your Ning members and their blogs. To install all other Ning items you'll need the Ning to Jamroom Bundle that contains all the modules needed as well as the Ningja skin designed specifically for Ning imports -

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/bundle/18/ning-to-jamroom

Note that all Jamroom modules and skins are licences for two domains so with this one purchase would be good for the two Ning sites you want to import.

If there are no media files in your archive, they cannot be imported, of course. The archive download from Ning is something we are not in control of, so you might need to contact them directly.

Hope That Helps

Jamroom Developers

Hi Perrie - It does make sense and is achievable with Jamroom.

Would you consider what you are looking at now a 'central forum'? If so, take a look at the URL above. This is actually the profile forum of 'the-jamroom-network' (the whole of jamroom.net is a regular Jamroom site!!). When importing the Ning archive you get the option of importing Ning forum discussions to a specific profile, so if that profile was named 'Forums', say, for all intents and purposes it would be a general forum, as this one is.

Another option that will be in the next release of the NingImport module will be to import Ning Forums to a specified Group instead of the Jamroom Forum module. Groups are comment based so by doing this, threaded comments would be inherent.
Hope That Helps

Nova Blog Images not showing

Design and Skin Customization

Also, after the first time you modify a template by this method, go back to the Templates tab and check its box to enable it.
Another tip when developing or changing templates is to put the site into 'Developer Mode' so that caching is disabled and you'll see any changes made immediately on page refresh. This setting is in the free jrDeveloper module. As you have a new site you may not have this module installed. I still have your logins, so let me know if you want help installing that.

Jamroom5 is basically the same as Jamroom4 in that you can do almost anything you want with the template system. Its just that they are in different places.

Nova Blog Images not showing

Design and Skin Customization

Nova is using the jrBlog module templates and its those that are not showing blog images by default.
To change those goto your ACP=>Profiles=>Profile BLogs=>Templates and edit them there.
You'll probably want to edit the item_list.tpl and item_detail.tpl templates.
This code will generate the image so insert it where you want the image to show -

{jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrBlog" type="blog_image" item_id=$item._item_id size="xlarge" crop="auto" class="iloutline img_scale" alt=$item.blog_title width=false height=false}

Take a look at the equivalent jrAudio templates, say, to see how they show their image.

One of my most prolific members ... missing almost all content?

Installation and Configuration

OK - Have just checked this out. The link you give in the first post is to Brad Churchill's profile forum. Remember that all Ning forums get imported to the specified 'site' forum. I've just done a search for 'Brad Churchill' there and see loads of his posts -

http://www.thechocolatelife.info/thechocolatelife/clay/forum?search_string=brad+churchill

You'll probably want to disable profile forums in all but the 'site profile' quota in order to save your members any confusion.

Also, wrt Brad Churchill have only one blog, I've just checked your Ning archive and that is his only blog there, so unless he has more on Ning that didn't make it to the archive, all is well.

Clay has just set the DNSs to his new server so waiting for that to reach the UK then I'll check this out.

will modules and functions work in any theme

Using Jamroom

Hi @centricbeats - Welcome to Jamroom.

The answer is yes. Provided the skin is designed and configured to play audio and video, which MediaPro5 is, it will play your uploaded items.

Does not count correctly?

Using Jamroom

Play counts check the user and his IP address so multiple plays by the same user will not increment the count.

http://selfmadeclub.de/mimpulsez/audio/236 was showing 1 play for me.
I played it, it is now showing 2.
If I play it again, it will still show 2.

Mass Video Upload

Design and Skin Customization

Have added a tool to do this to the jrYouTube module. Look out for its latest release within the next day or two.
