Creating a module to change from the Follow model to the Friend model

Jamroom Developers

The event you need to listen for is the 'db_update_item' event. If that event is updating the Follower datastore with 'follow_active' = 1 (ie. the follow has been accepted) then you can reciprocate by adding another entry to the Follower datastore where the 'followee is following the follower'!
That explanation may not mean a lot to you at the moment but 'datastores' are the basis of all item storage within Jamroom. They are MySql items and are accessed with php function calls within the custom listener module.

How Easy Is It to Move A Ning 2.0 Site to JamRoom?

It's not for sale. Goto that same site and enter Google or microsoft. They'll be for sale as well

How to make "Approve Friend Request" checked by default

Using Jamroom

In the Private Notes quota section, make sure that 'Followers Only' is checked. Then, 'followers' cannot send messages to 'followees', but 'followees' can message their 'followers'.
When setup like this, users cannot friend/follow anyone just to spam them. They can only message 'followees' if they have reciprocated.
Hope that makes sense.

How to make "Approve Friend Request" checked by default

Using Jamroom

Unfortunately that checkbox is hard coded to be off by default.
A simple custom listener module could be built to listen for new profiles being created then set that field 'on'.
I recall we've talked about something else custom. What was that? Maybe something can be done in time for you going live?

2 Suggestions for Jamroom to woo Ning creators

Ning To Jamroom

Yes - your full import was, in reality, just under 4GB so yes, the Ning figure is not a lot of use.
This is a difficult call as we would also need to know the actual archive size in order to recommend a Hosted plan, or advise what size server to get should they want to run JR elsewhere.
Will think about it a bit more.
Thanks

Migration from Ning: a few questions

Ning To Jamroom

You cannot use the URL http://syndicationexpress.ning.com/ for a Jamroom site as that is a Ning sub-domain. Try and buy the domain syndicationexpress.com or something similar and use that.
Alternatively you could stick with one of our sun-domains like syndicationexpresscom.jamroomhosting.com but that is a bit cumbersome!! You'd be better off all round with your own domain. They only cost a few dollars a year from somewhere like namecheap.com

Elise - Does Ning show the size of a site anywhere in the Control Panel?

Thanks Elise - Good suggestions and we'll think about them. For #2, on our hosting packages there is the option to create a Ning site on the domain install. This will install all the modules needed for a Ning import.

Content wiped?

Ning To Jamroom

Hi Keith
It's ok to add content prior to import. The import will just add more items to your site.
