going live on new domain in hours need clarification on new base url tool


Ning To Jamroom

Don't forget to delete all the folders in the /data/cache folder as well (but leave the index.html file there). Do this via FTP to make sure everything has gone and your new domain has a clear run at things.

Hoping to migrate to Jamroom, and saying Hi.


Ning To Jamroom

Hi Roy - Welcome to Jamroom.
Yes, we have been talking to Ruth about your potential import via a support ticket and she has mentioned the possible limitations with Ning archives. I do find it odd that they state they limit their archives to 10,000 items, but can say that the biggest site I've imported so far was of 15,700 members and 16,200 photos, and the client did not say that there had been any issues creating the archive. So hopefully the same will apply to you, or Ning will advise you of a good work-around.
Feel free to ask further questions here, and to contribute to other forum topics.
Thanks
paul

Looking good SE. Can I take some screenshots and add it to the N2JR Wall of Fame?

Send me a short testimonial to put up there as well if you can.
Thanks

Trying out groups...

I'm still thinking that my original idea of having a 'Cities' quota whose profiles pull in and displays all galleries (and anything else) uploaded and tagged with that city. For one thing, this would give better SEO URLs - your site.co.uk/leicester, your site.co.uk/derby, your site.co.uk/nottingham etc. but as you say above, as JR stands if users did upload city images they would then be returned to their own profile page and not the city's. So we just need a way to fix that. I'm sure it can be done. Am thinking about it :-)

Mass Video Upload


Design and Skin Customization

What sort of database do you have this on?
Jamroom doesn't support this but a relatively simple script would do it.
Only the YouTube IDs would be needed as Titles and Descriptions would be pulled from YouTube themselves.

Hi Tim - Welcome back. I'd forgot about this project of yours!!

Brian's suggestion would work but he's talking about a custom 'Group Image' module. If you then said you also wanted Group Videos/SoundBites/Blogs/Whatever each one of those would need its own custom module. Not impossible, of course, but it would be good to come up with a solution with what Jamroom can currently do 'off the shelf'.

I don't have an answer for this atm but will think about it more. Being from the UK and interested in local history myself, I like what you are trying to do :-)

Locking Videos / Live Videos


Jamroom Developers

A user can set his profile so that only followers can see its content. Would that help?

No plans our end for live video at the moment. Sorry

Events Stuff showing up in the toolbars not related to events


Using Jamroom

I think this has been fixed. Are you running the latest modules from the marketplace?

Events - Adding Multiple Dates


Suggestions

Quote: Paul - I think we could support this fairly easily by adding the "end date" field(s) into the install.php as well, so Ning users could just "enable" the fields and have it work.
I've put it on my list :-)
