Some questions for getting started
Using Jamroom
Hi - Welcome to Jamroom
Jamroom will work 'out-of-the-box' as a community site and has several pre-configured skins so that you can pick a style and feel for your website, so it might be that you could be up and running with the minimum of site configuration (just uploading a logo image would make your site unique!!). However, it is likely that you will want to do a bit more than that and some basic HTML and CSS knowledge would be useful so that you can use Jamroom's in-built features to customise further.
I would recommend looking through our documentation and maybe our free video 'getting started' course at https://www.udemy.com/start-your-own-online-community
Hope that helps

How to show different artist name?
Using Jamroom
I'm not sure where the 'a' has come from either. In most Jamroom templates that would be 'item'.
The original song artist would have been displayed with {$item.profile_name} so look for that and change it to {$item.audio_alternate_artist}
btw - what template are you editing?
Two things I would like for member profile pages
Installation and Configuration
Quote:1) the location of the member- city, and US state or country. My members really need to know the general location of other members when trying to help them find teachers, or planning trips to festivals, etc. Not having that show would be a disappointment to all of us.
Member location fields do get imported from the Ning archive but they are not used in the Ningja skin. I'll have a word with Douglas to see if he can fit it in somewhere.
Thanks

issues with new skin and gallery data imports
Installation and Configuration
OK - We'll have to assume for now that it doesn't get archived.
The next release of the jrNingImport module will have gallery_title = Ning photo title (or the profile name if it doesn't exist) and gallery_caption = Ning photo description.
Its then up to the user how he arranges things after that.
Thanks

Show me the section of the Ning photo archive where an album is defined. At the end of the day, that is all the jrNingImport module has to work with. As I have said before, I've not seen that in any of the archives I've tested.
Thanks

Are you saying that there might be an [album] field in Ning photo albums?
If you have one in your archive show me that bit of the archive so that I can work it into the import.

Quote:@paul, can you see to it that the image title is imported with the image and a required form items added title
but the required title should not take the filename as a default wich was my biggest pain inthe ass with ning as many images got the title 87653456798765445689765.jpg
in the data below from the json
the title should import into the required title field description into the caption (not required but recommended)

You know, on the archives that I developed and tested the importer with, there was no 'photo description' fields so I assumed that it wasn't a Ning option. I'll add in a test for that field and import it if its available.
Jamroom has 'galleries' which is the 'gallery_title' field. Currently during import, that field is set to the profile name so that after import each profile has one gallery with all his Ning photos in it. If it was set to the Ning photo title, he would have that number of galleries which might, on reflection, be a better option. What do you think?

How Do You Get A Field To Show In Events After Adding A New Field
Design and Skin Customization
After adding a custom field to any form you'll most likely need to modify template(s) to show it. So, if you have added 'event_end_date', in templates, add {$item.event_end_date} where you want it to show.
Checkout the jrEvent_calendar smarty function for filtering events by year.
FYI - Did you know that jrEvent has repetitive events, which include end dates, built in? See -

Suggestions
Hi Tracy - Welcome to Jamroom.
Yeah, that is something that has been discussed before and is (I think) on our todo list, but no target date as yet.
In the meantime there are a couple of options you could look at.
