Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:@Paul -

I hate to put you on the spot but if I can get the images re-imported I can take TheChocolateLife.com live. Virtually all the rest of the issues I have found are formatting issues and I can live with them for at least a couple of days/weeks because I am not expecting that most of my members to claim their accounts right away.

OK - Its late here now so I'll look at updating the import module tomorrow and let you know.

thechocolatelife:@Paul -

So, reimport the images JSON file(s) using delete/create ... something like that?

Yeah - Wait until I have a new jrNingImport with the gallery options in the config released, then just re-import images using the delete/create option. Note that any comments, likes, ratings etc. made on gallery items since the original import will be lost.

Once this update is finalised I'll make the Ning photo import compatible with it.

Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality


Installation and Configuration

Quote:However, there is a discrepancy between what albums contained in Ning and what the galleries in JR contain. In particular, I think there needs to be, for each member, a gallery than contains all of the images that were not assigned to Ning albums and therefore should not be grouped into galleries in what seems to be a random fashion. I propose that this gallery be called " Loose Images ".

Am curious that you talk about there being photo albums on Ning as in their archives there is no evidence of this. There is a photo title and description fields, and that is it. On Ning do you have another option to group photos into albums? If so, Ning have neglected to include this information in the archive so as such, there's not a lot that can be done on import. (this wouldn't be the first omission on their part either!!).

Just so you know, when I first developed the import module, I allocated Jamroom's 'gallery_title' to the profile name on import so that all profiles did have just one gallery. A few weeks ago some ex Ningsters said this was wrong and wanted the photo title to be the gallery title so I change the import module accordingly. As I said above, without the album info from Ning, there's not a lot else we can do on import.

I Lost my Profile Menu on Update


Installation and Configuration

I'd try the php command 'strstr'. This returns true if one string is found anywhere inside another, so

{if strstr($current_url, 'http://indiegospel.net/indiegospel/forum')}
{else}
{/if}

Genosis Query


Genosis

Genosis is basically a standard Jamroom install, so moving it to another server is pretty straightforward. See https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/howto/1077/howto-change-the-jamroom-directory-or-domain
If you're moving servers you'd also need to export/import the database as well, of course.

Error message on website, can't even log in.


Using Jamroom

Does the database and these tables still exist? Check via your cPanel and phpMyAdmin.
If so, check the /data/config/config.php file has the correct database username and password in it.

Genosis Query


Genosis

randolph:Where may I find the manual for Genosis? Looks like a pretty good stuff to know more.

The documentation is here - https://www.jamroom.net/genosis/documentation

Ceri - I've not actually 'seriously' used Genosis but the documentation does say that it supports multiple trees. Hopefully Brian can give you a definitive answer on this.

After deleting a discussion, getting returned to the wrong page


Installation and Configuration

Quote:when it SHOULD take me to the equivalent of

http://www.thechocolatelife.info/thechocolatelife/chocliferoot/forum/my_posts -- with the sort on _updated, not _created

Have been thinking about this and my immediate thought is that now we have established the difference in terminology between forums and discussions, you are asking for a link in a 'discussion' panel to take you to a forum page which could well cause confusion. I think it needs to go to a listing of the profile's discussions. Also, you are asking things to be ordered by 'updated' where 'created' is the norm for all other Jamroom items by default. In this instance, in particular, a user could repeatedly update his post in order to keep his discussion at the top of the list. For these reasons, the default will be 'created'. Of course, you can change that in your template if you want :-)
Thanks
