Installation and Configuration

If you are doing a fresh import, I'd be inclined to drop all the tables, empty the data folder and do a fresh install.
Of course, making sure that you have no skin or module template/language/css modifications on the database first, i.e.. anything done in the ACP editors.

The Ning import module is pretty well complete now and seems to be working very well. The only frustration I have is the fact that Ning fail to link pages to groups in their archives. There is a tool in the jrGroupPage module to do this by hand after the import, but if there are a lot of group pages, this could be time consuming, but as the Ning archives stand, there's not much that can be done about that.

Quote:@paul 1st off welcome back
Thanks - It was fun and a great family get together.

Quote:@douglas and/or @paul not sure whos issues these fall under but discussions that belong in forums are still lumped under groups with all the replies missing
There have been a lot of changes to the import scripts whilst I was away, and since. I've done a few upgrades and groups import ok for me. I think its best/cleanest, if possible, to drop all group, page and discuss database entries and re-import them. Note that jrNingDiscuss and jrNingPage modules are no longer needed and should be deleted. Make sure you have the new jrGroup, jrGroupPage and jrGroupDiscuss modules and that jrNingImport is the latest one, then re-import all three archives (groups first). You'll also now need the jrForum module. In the import setup you now specify which profile forum any 'un-grouped' discussions go into.

I occasionally see that happening. I'll raise it as an issue.

Buttons have disappeared on my site
Installation and Configuration

Its pretty safe to delete any of the cache folders in my experience. They'll just get re-created again as needed.

Missing a whole bunch of Groups...?
Installation and Configuration

Hi Strumelia
I took the liberty of logging into your cPanel and can see that all 56 groups are on your database (and only 3 of them are private groups) so not sure why they are all not showing on the listing.
I tried to login to your Jamroom with the credentials I had when I imported your site but they didn't work.
If you want me to check things out further please email me the new JR admin logins.
Thanks
Pa

Problems importing members
Installation and Configuration

Thanks Dave - I'll get that one added into the script as well (wonder how many more there will be!!).

Glad the import now went ok - I think 13,500 Ning profiles is a record so far ;-)

Yes, you'll need the Ning bundle to import the rest. Note that the bundle also includes the jrComment module so when you have that installed you might want to import the profiles again so as to pick up their comments.
Let us know how it goes and if you need any more help.

OK - If you can get the ning-members-local.json file to me somehow I'll take a look at it. How big is the file? If its too big to email put it somewhere I can download it, or use mailbigfile.com to paul[at]jamroom[dot]net

Hi Dave - Welcome to Jamroom
We've found that Ning archive json files are often corrupt and don't immediately decode back into an array. The import script will try and fix any known error types in the json files so that it can decode successfully, but it sounds like your json file may have a 'new to us' Ning error in it.
Can you email your Jamroom site, its admin and FTP logins to support[at]jamroom[dot]net so that we can take a look and hopefully get it working for you?
Thanks

Quote:But I would only want it to do the update weekly. how would I have it do that?
Try wrapping your listener code in the following if statement -
{
    if (date("D") == 'Mon') { // Or 'Tue', 'Wed' . . .
        // Your Code Here
    }
    return $_data;
}
