Ning Memo questions - why? and rename URL?

Ning To Jamroom

The jrPrivateNote module uses 'note' as its url, so renaming ningmemo to 'notes' would be ok but might cause some confusion down the road. Just an fyi

Can you give me an example from your site where there is a URL like "http://indiegospel.org/forum/attachment/download?id=1706554%3AUploadedFile%3A100941" and the archived file it relates to?

Just the member name. As you type you'll be prompted with members to select from.

Hover over your user name in the top menu bar. The link should be there.

Ning Memo questions - why? and rename URL?

Ning To Jamroom

Yes, you can rename the module's url to 'memo'

TBH when I was developing the jrNingImport module and looking at these 'Notes' in the Ning archives, I wasn't sure what they were about. They just seemed to be little private notes to oneself. So as JR already had a jrPrivateNote and a jrNotify module, I called the new receiving module NingMemo, so as not to cause any confusion. Other imports I've done have had very few, or no note items, and no one else has raised any questions about them so I think they are a pretty inconsequential part of Ning

The calendar icon is on line 101 of your index.tpl file, so maybe just remove that line.

Not sure where your background colour has gone. Need to check that the classes and styles declared in the forum template are the same as the other panels.

The "http://indiegospel.org/forum/attachment/download?id=1706554%3AUploadedFile%3A100941" that is in the < a > tag in the Ning discussion text is a link into the Ning scripts to download the file and I guess there is no way to access from outside the original domain (the same way that you can't just dive in and download anything from a JR site). There is also no evidence of the file in your archive, so there isn't much the import tool can do in situations like this.
There are some referenced PDFs in your archive, eg. http://indiegospel.net/indiegospel/forum/christian-teachings/62/pauls-haircut-a-lesson-in-freedom that have been referenced in the discussion text the same way as images etc., so download ok.
I think this might be another Ning archiving failing.

The latest Ningja skin with this fix is in the marketplace.
The fix was in the index.tpl file. Change line 65 to -


(the actual change was the {$item.profile_url} bit)

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

Ning To Jamroom

So your existing site is greentechnologyforums.com and that is going to change to www.dreadolockssite.com?

You'll need to edit the /data/config/config.php file appropriately and delete caches.
If you're using a recent version of jrNingImport that doesn't have the Manage Media tool, use the new Update Base URL tool to change all imported instances of greentechnologyforums.com in text strings to dreadolockssite.com
Then optionally use the Delete Media tool to save a load of disk space by deleting redundant archive files.
If you want, let me know when you're ready to do these NingImport tool operations and I'll check your site over just to make sure that is what you need to do.

Good call - I'd forgot about that module.
