Latest Ning Import module released.

Quote: I will need to change the Lastest Forum module on the home page to display group discussions, yes? It's now displaying the just "pages with comments on them" style. I would like some advice on the quickest way to make this happen.
Yes, you would. That would make this almost full circle. We started off with group discussions in that panel!!

Strumelia - As you are still in development, what I suggest you do is set the name of a new 'Forum Group' in Ning Import config then run the Group Discussion import again (set to 'create'). This will import all that previously went to the forum module to that new Forum Group.
Each 'topic' will be a group discussion with all the posts. All existing Jamroom users will automatically be members of the new group.
You can then run both the forum and the Forum Group at the same time to see which you prefer. You can even set the Forum Group's URL in the Ningja skin settings instead of the forum one so that the forum menu link goes to the group.

Renamed Gallery on a member Profile - now have two galleries


Ning To Jamroom

You're probably right. Gallery was one of the first modules after we started JR5 and then we couldn't conceive of anyone with more than 500 photos!!
Brian has seen the ticket and is fixing it up as we speak.

That's me. Wanting features. Always on the bleeding edge. Speaking of updating the import module. Did you find the issue with the missing discussions from Victor K I sent you by email? Maybe a re-import will restore them?

Have the email. Not looked yet. Sorry. It should make it to the top of the stack sometime soon.

Blame your fellow Ningsters coming over here and wanting new features ;-)
Seriously, I think we re going to have to freeze the Ning Import module, feature wise, now, particularly as more Ningsters are now making the move so as not to give them any more issues and decisions like this.

You're right. Have just looked at the gallery module code and there are hard limits of 500.
We can probably change that to a larger number. I guess we never envisaged galleries of that size until you Ningsters came along ;-)
I'll raise a ticket to get it done.
You should be able to change the names of both galleries independently though to what you what now.
Thanks

Feature Request - Drag and Drop rearrangement of Forum categories


Ning To Jamroom

Quote: If not, why not a down arrow? Moving a category down to places now requires moving the two categories below it up
If you work it out, its the same number of clicks to get a specific arrangement whether the arrow is up or down. I've often pondered the same thing lol

It would be nice to have threading in the site forum which I think you are saying is not supported.

Correct. The forums work differently to the comments system which made it not practical to forums threaded.
You could re-import your group discussions to a 'forum group' and use that as the site forum, but you would then lose posts made since going live.

I've just looked at http://www.thechocolatelife.com/vera-hofman/gallery/unsorted-images/all and http://www.thechocolatelife.com/vera-hofman/gallery/vera-hofman/all side by side and I'm not seeing any common images.
Not checked every image go course, but a few picked at random were not common.
