I'm gonna blow a gasket . . . If Arvixe Doesn't Get This Fixed Today


Installation and Configuration

It should be just a case of creating an add-on domain in cPanel, moving JR to the sub-folder then setting your domain's DNS to point to Arvixe.
Do you want me to take a look? Email your Arvixe and JR logins and the domains you are trying to setup if so to support [at] jam room [dot] net if so.

Can I Non Techie Do This?


Installation and Configuration

Hi Lora - Welcome to Jamroom

Just to add to what Michael said, Jamroom will work for you 'out of the box'. We have a skin, NIngja, specifically designed for Ningsters that will show all imported Ning content and provide Ning functionality. All you would need to do is change the logo in the header to one that represents your site (and that can be done within the 'Control Panel'), and you could be up and running. See a demo of Ningja here - http://demo.jamroom.net/jrNingja
You can then, though its not essential, customise the site, by changing colours, layout, font size etc.etc. This is what Strumelia, Soaring and a few others are doing, but I say again, its not necessary and you don't need to get 'techie' at all.

We have a document on the import process - https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/documentation/ning2jamroom - so you could follow this and do it yourself, but even if that looks too daunting for you, we offer services to do it for you (note that you would still need to download your archive from Ning, then upload it to your new Jamroom server yourself).

Ning Memo questions - why? and rename URL?


Installation and Configuration

The jrPrivateNote module uses 'note' as its url, so renaming ningmemo to 'notes' would be ok but might cause some confusion down the road. Just an fyi :-)

Ning Memo questions - why? and rename URL?


Installation and Configuration

Yes, you can rename the module's url to 'memo'

TBH when I was developing the jrNingImport module and looking at these 'Notes' in the Ning archives, I wasn't sure what they were about. They just seemed to be little private notes to oneself. So as JR already had a jrPrivateNote and a jrNotify module, I called the new receiving module NingMemo, so as not to cause any confusion. Other imports I've done have had very few, or no note items, and no one else has raised any questions about them so I think they are a pretty inconsequential part of Ning ;-)

Text transform on profile menu


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Two quick things on my home page now -

How to get rid of the little calendar icons on the Events block and where did the background color go in my Latest Forum Discussions block?

The calendar icon is on line 101 of your index.tpl file, so maybe just remove that line.

Not sure where your background colour has gone. Need to check that the classes and styles declared in the forum template are the same as the other panels.
