404 after update to Forum post


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Paul:

I used to be a pre-alpha, alpha, and beta tester for graphics software companies I worked for early on in my career.

I was known in the engineering groups I worked in for being able to find very subtle (and not so subtle) bugs.

I just posted a similar 404 issue when updating page assignments in page groups. I wonder if they are related somehow?

That's fine - Keep posting and we'll check things out. Problem is its nearly next year in the UK now so will pick things up in the morning.
Thanks

Pages imported from Ning - viewable, properties editable?


Installation and Configuration

From my response to a support ticket -
Quote:As you may have read in the docs and on the forum, Ning has failed to include the association of any Pages to Groups in their archives. This means that you need to do this association, if necessary, 'by hand'.
All Ning pages have been imported to the jrGroupPage module. In the ACP goto that module, click on the Tools tab, then the Page Group Config button. Here you'll see the means to allocate pages to groups, or migrate them to the jrPage module if they are 'stand-alone' pages.

jrGroupPage and jrPage are different modules. The link in the Ningja menu is to jrPage items, so use the tool detailed above to move standalone pages to the jrPage module whereupon they will show on the 'pages' page.

Embed Vimeo videos using URLs? Why not?


Installation and Configuration

Clay - See my response to your support ticket I've just posted. I actually created a vimeo account for you and set up the module with the codes so that I could do the import, so its all done.

Multiple profiles per user account (?)


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Paul:

If I understand properly. I am not "transferring" a profile from one account to another, I am giving one profile the ability to let another profile contribute to and edit their profile.

Yes, either to a specific profile (band members, say) or to all profiles (Profile Admin).

Quote:I am thinking of creating a bunch of quotas that members can self-assign themselves to. I think I have to use FoxyCart to create quotas that are free to do this. If I read things correctly, I can use Mailgun to then send email to specific quotas. That capability is something I've wanted in Ning since the very beginning.

No, you as Admin can create free quotas. You would only need FoxyCart if had any paid for quotas that users could subscribe to.

With the jrNewsletter module you can target email newsletters/messages to specific quotas. This can be done with Jamroom's own email system, or via Mailgun using the free jrMailgun module.

Multiple profiles per user account (?)


Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:Paul -

An imperfect analogy ... but building on the band example above I am thinking about a Facebook business page where I can add existing profiles as page admins.

Here the end result is the same but the process is different.

To do that, as admin, just go to the profile page, Update Profile (gear wheel icon), Account Tab, then make them a 'Profile Admin'.

Multiple profiles per user account (?)


Installation and Configuration

Quote:it's something I am struggling with trying to understand how, why, and where it's useful.
Another use might be a band profile having a user account for each of the band members so that they can all update the band profile.
Or in Brian's example above, a 'power user' might be an employee of an agency tasked with adding all their client profiles to the site.

Embed Vimeo videos using URLs? Why not?


Installation and Configuration

The API key is also required when searching. Vimeo, SoundCloud and Flickr require this. YouTube are more liberal with their data !
