Some Migrated Blogs Missing Pictures


Installation and Configuration

The "http://indiegospel.org/forum/attachment/download?id=1706554%3AUploadedFile%3A100941" that is in the < a > tag in the Ning discussion text is a link into the Ning scripts to download the file and I guess there is no way to access from outside the original domain (the same way that you can't just dive in and download anything from a JR site). There is also no evidence of the file in your archive, so there isn't much the import tool can do in situations like this.
There are some referenced PDFs in your archive, eg. http://indiegospel.net/indiegospel/forum/christian-teachings/62/pauls-haircut-a-lesson-in-freedom that have been referenced in the discussion text the same way as images etc., so download ok.
I think this might be another Ning archiving failing.

getting some link 'pages not found'....


Installation and Configuration

The latest Ningja skin with this fix is in the marketplace.
The fix was in the index.tpl file. Change line 65 to -

<h3><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$furl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.forum_cat_url}/{$item.forum_title_url}#last">{$item.forum_title|truncate:30}</a></h3>

(the actual change was the {$item.profile_url} bit)

going live on new domain in hours need clarification on new base url tool


Installation and Configuration

So your existing site is greentechnologyforums.com and that is going to change to www.dreadolockssite.com?

You'll need to edit the /data/config/config.php file appropriately and delete caches.
If you're using a recent version of jrNingImport that doesn't have the Manage Media tool, use the new Update Base URL tool to change all imported instances of greentechnologyforums.com in text strings to dreadolockssite.com
Then optionally use the Delete Media tool to save a load of disk space by deleting redundant archive files.
If you want, let me know when you're ready to do these NingImport tool operations and I'll check your site over just to make sure that is what you need to do.

Search and Passwords


Jamroom Developers

brian:For "checking" passwords I think the Banned Items module would be a good fit for this functionality (add a new "password" type).

Good call - I'd forgot about that module.

Search and Passwords


Jamroom Developers

jimmyk:Might be a great paid module for you guys at Jamroom. I know I would probably purchase it if my client decides to go forward with the project. Actually, I would also probably purchase it for my personal license because what user doesn't want to search for other users in their area... that's just being social (meet at the pub!). :)

SteveX - Does your Google Maps module have this ability?

I would like a Profile page TAB for "Forums"


Installation and Configuration

Your profile page is nothing like the current Ningja profile page. I think this is because you cloned from an old Ningja skin when it was like that and we had all the forum/discussion confusion.
If you want to keep this layout and fix things up on it, I'll work with you directly.

Search and Passwords


Jamroom Developers

A quick google search brought up this -

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?components=postal_code:695564&sensor=false

It would be dead easy to build a module to do what you using that call. I did try it with my UK postcode as well and that worked, so I bet it works with any worldwide zip/postcode.

1) I bet google has an api that converts a zip code to latitude and longitude. If it has, a custom module could submit the zip code and then add the lat/lng to the user datastore. Range of any one user from another could then be calculated.

2) Not exactly what you suggest but the jrStrongPassword module would fit your needs -

A few remaining issues in member images galleries


Installation and Configuration

Yes, its not needed, but is there for SEO purposes, to help search engine spiders/crawlers catalogue the page.
You also see it on item detail pages where the last part of the URL is the item title.

I would like a Profile page TAB for "Forums"


Installation and Configuration

Where are you seeing this 'latest posts' link that is showing group posts instead of forum posts?

Showing forum topics that a profile has created should by just a case of adding a search parameter to the jrCore_list call in the template.
Where do you want this to happen?
