Some Migrated Blogs Missing Pictures
Ning To Jamroom

Yeah - If the files were missing, for whatever reason, from the server version of the archive they will not have been copied to the NingMedia folder. Uploading the missing ones to their correct folders in NingMedia should do it.

Does the missing image exist in the original Ning archive? It will be in the same sub-folders that it is in /NingMedia - /blogs/1-1000/768-CoverCropped.jpg

Form Designer - Setup? Initialize?
Design and Skin Customization

Strumelia:
I'm ok until I get to the part of:
"use the form designer to set the same fields in the user account view."
At that point I'm a little lost at the crossroads.

Paul are you able to give a couple more step by step details for getting to these locations and doing this? Otherwise I'll just have to ask someone the same question later when preparing to go live. I definitely need to check and update my signup questions so that I see the new member's answers before approving them (it's been my most effective way of blocking spammers on Ning)
But if you are too busy or can't go into such detail, I'll understand.

Checkout the Ning Import docs under 'Ning Signup Questions' - Its covered there.

Sending the New Passwords Ning Members
Ning To Jamroom

Quote: If I set the New Profile Quota at "Premium Members" will it mess anything up with sign-ups or just allow the 50 remaining emails to go out and all those guys to be "Premium Members"?

Doing that should be ok to send the last 50 out.

That's actually a 'gotchya' that I didn't think of. I'll flag it in the module's docs. as advice for others.
Thanks

Sending the New Passwords Ning Members
Ning To Jamroom

AndyF:
I'm attempting to send the email from Ning Import -> Tools -> Send Passwords and after I click send, it's saying "0 emails have been sent".

What I'm I doing wrong?

In the jrNingImport config, is 'New Profile Quota' still set to the same quota that profiles where imported to?
The email script uses that so as to only send passwords to imported users.

Keep it on 'admin validation', then use the form designer to set the same fields in the user account view. Admin can then check their answers prior to approving, or not.

No Search or Past Events showing on Events page.
Ning To Jamroom

Yeah - If any fields are already on the datastore, from the import, say, creating a form designer item of the same name will pick it up.

Glad you got it working.

No Search or Past Events showing on Events page.
Ning To Jamroom

I think 'event_url' should be 'event_title_url' and that is a url version of the event_title tagged onto the end of the event page url to make it 'search engine friendly' and is generated by Jamroom.

'event_website' is a field imported from Ning. To get access to it on the event create/update forms use the form designer from those forms and create an 'event_website' text field with its validation set to URL.

To then show that on the events page, open the event module's template editor and edit the item_detail.tpl file. Enter something like this where you want it to show -

Website: <a href="{$item.event_website}">{$item.event_website}</a><br>
