Quick question - what is a profile?

Installation and Configuration

That's great. Don't forget to checkout the main Jamroom forum at https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network to meet up with other helpful JR users

final question about migration and 'test" migration

Installation and Configuration

Sorry forgot your second question.

I've only tried Ning2 archives so far. If Ning3 archives its sites in the same format, merging shouldn't be an issue, but again, we don't know that until we try it for the first time
So we need to wait and see what a Ning3 archive looks like.

final question about migration and 'test" migration

Installation and Configuration

I think that option 1 is the easiest and quickest.
The bad news is that I've not actually tried doing a partial import of just new files, but at this time, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
The good news is that this is exactly what I'll be doing for Ken at IndieGospel within the next few days, so hopefully I'll be able to report back here then that it can be done the option 1 way.
Hope that helps

Quick question - what is a profile?

Installation and Configuration

Hi @iamtimbo - Welcome to Jamroom

Yes - you have it in one!! 'Ning To Jamroom' is actually a profile created by admin on this Jamroom CMS installation. A couple of the other profiles here are https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network and http://www.jamroom.net/backstage
Additionally, you have your own profile here at https://www.jamroom.net/iamtimbo as do all other individuals who have signed up.
You now need to checkout the Jamroom quota system - see the docs at https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/693/the-jamroom-quota-system
Different profiles allocated to different quotas give you the mean of assigning different sets of functionality (the Jamroom modules) to different sets of profiles, so profiles on a 'free signup' quota might have limited resources, profiles that are paying you could be moved to another quota that gives them more resources, profiles paying even more money could get even more resources etc. Does that make sense?

So, for what I think you are trying to do, admin could create a profile for every city in the UK - http://yoursite.co.uk/leicester, http://yoursite.co.uk/nottingham (my home town) etc. and each could have its own forum, gallery and other resources. You could even have towns and villages in different quotas. Not sure why you would but that is what the quotas are about !!

Hope that helps

Hi Strumelia - Welcome to Jamroom.
Like I've been saying to guys on the "Early Ning Migrants" topic, take a read of the above documentation first so that you understand what is involved with 'N2JR', then we can work out how best to achieve this for you.

Sorry - I seem to have forgot about this. I'll put it on my list again and see how I get on with it this time.
Thanks

Actually, moving a Jamroom site is pretty easy. See https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/howto/1077/howto-change-the-jamroom-directory-or-domain

If you are actually moving servers, as well as moving the files over, you would also need to export, then import the Jamroom database as well.

Any structure and style changes made on Jamroom are made either in the templates, or are saved on the database, dependent upon how the changes are made, but either way, when doing the move as described above, they will follow the Jamroom.

Can I politely ask that any questions like this are asked in a new thread in the 'Questions About Jamroom' category? That way, we can keep threads 'on topic' which makes things easier to find and track for us all down the road
Thanks

When you talk about embedded videos you mean like YouTube?
Jamroom can handle embedded YouTube and Vimeo videos and providing the import script can extract the relevant IDs from your embed code, it will create a similar Jamroom embedded videos where the actual stream comes from YT or Vimeo.
So to answer your question, the embedded videos will not take any significant amount of your server disk space.

Hi @soaringeagle - Thanks for posting
As with @jkn above, I'd suggest that first you read the import documentation so as to understand the process.
I see that at www.greentechnologyforums.com you have already uploaded the Jamroom Core but that it now needs installing. Do you need any help with that? If so, send your site FTP and cPanel logins to support[at]jamroom[dot]com so that I can check it out and do the install for you if you want?

Hi - Thanks for posting.
How big is your Ning site?
Please read though the Ning2Jamroom document at https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/documentation/ning2jamroom so as to understand the import process.
You would need to set up a Jamroom site on some hosting somewhere (we can help with the setup if need be), create an archive of your Ning site and upload that archive to the Jamroom installation, after which we could do the import for you.
Or, as an IT/Data Analyst, you may feel confident to continue with the import yourself following the documentation, which would be a help to us as it would test our documentation as well as the import process.
What do you think?
