User Birthday Module


Using Jamroom

Ceri - User birthdays were imported in a format not compatible with the new Birthday module. I have added a tool to the latest NingImport module to convert the formats but its not been tried on a live site yet (only on my dev site with a few birthday entries). If you can ticket me your admin login I'd like to check your database to make sure this will work on an import done long ago.
Note that if we do go ahead and run it, I would likely need to update what I did for you wrt birthday display if you still wanted to use that (tbh I can't remember what I did!! Was it a module or just template code? If I can onto your site I can check and be reminded of it!!).
Thanks
Pa

status posts?


Ning To Jamroom

Are you referring to Ning's 'Activity' list? If so, it is not included in their archives, so is not importable.

Some basic SSL questions with Jamroom hosting


Jamroom Hosting

Checkout our Hosting documentation, in particular this page for how to point your domain to our servers - https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-hosting/3536/updating-nameservers-so-your-domain-is-live

I've checked out pmp-art.com on various browsers and on my iPhone and am not seeing any security or encryption issues?

Importing Ning 2.0 to Jamroom


Ning To Jamroom

One of the biggest sites we host is photo based. Its https://pmp-art.com/ and when I last looked had about 130,000 images uploaded. You'll need to register to see more than just the front page by the look of it. The site admins are active on this forum so maybe one of those will see this and offer advice on running a big photo site.

Importing Ning 2.0 to Jamroom


Ning To Jamroom

Yes - By default Ning do limit items in the archive so you will need to ask the to take that capping off. They also limit any comments on items to the latest 200 so make sure that is lifted as well.

Ning do not include 'gallery' info in their Photo archive so upon import all photos are in a single 'Jamroom Gallery' owned by the member that uploaded them so yes, all photos are still 'owned' by the original user after import.

Ning do not archive any item tags. Jamroom has its own tagging module so after import your users would need to start again with their tagging.

Hope that helps

private blog issue?


Ning To Jamroom

Have just looked at a Ning Blog archive and some blogs do have a 'publishWhen' field which is set to 'later' so I assume that is set if a user has set his blog to 'just me' or 'private'.
Unfortunately, as JR doesn't, by default, have a private blog feature, this field wasn't considered for import, and in all the imports we have done, this hasn't been an issue, until now, of course!!
What I'll do is update the NingImport module so that this field is imported, but as a custom blog field. I'll call it 'blog_publish_when' and copy whatever value is in the archive to it. Then if it is needed to disable blogs in listings, or if you want to show in in your blog create/update forms, you can create the field in Form Designer.

Can I get onto your site to check this out?
Open a support ticket with your admin login and link to the page where this is happening.
Thanks

Just by way of an explanation, the forum posts likely belong to profiles who do not have the Forum module enabled in their quota, so that is why the jrCore_list is not returning those items. The quota_check parameter overides that test.

Try adding the quota_check parameter to the call -

{jrCore_list module="jrForum" limit="5" quota_check=false}
