Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality


Ning To Jamroom

Quote: So for the jrNingImport module I propose adding two options for photo to gallery imports - 1) Single Gallery - All images imported to a single gallery named the same as the profile name, and with the new gallery module field 'gallery_image_title' set to the title from the archive. 2) Multi Gallery - The Jamroom gallery named the same as the archive image title and the 'gallery_image_title' unset. Would that cover all bases and work with the latest jrGallery module?

Latest jrNingImport module with this option in the Marketplace

So, reimport the images JSON file(s) using delete/create ... something like that?

Chocolate - Get the latest module and do this, or let me know if you want me to do it for you.

Archived Ning member location information does get imported and is on the DataStore. Its just that the Ningja skin isn't using it atm (I feel a new feature request on the horizon ;-) )

Ning 'location' is available as 'profile_location'
Ning 'country' is available as 'profile_country'
Ning 'zip' is available as 'profile_zip'

@Paul -

I hate to put you on the spot but if I can get the images re-imported I can take TheChocolateLife.com live. Virtually all the rest of the issues I have found are formatting issues and I can live with them for at least a couple of days/weeks because I am not expecting that most of my members to claim their accounts right away.

OK - Its late here now so I'll look at updating the import module tomorrow and let you know.

Yeah - Wait until I have a new jrNingImport with the gallery options in the config released, then just re-import images using the delete/create option. Note that any comments, likes, ratings etc. made on gallery items since the original import will be lost.

Once this update is finalised I'll make the Ning photo import compatible with it.

Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality


Ning To Jamroom

Quote: However, there is a discrepancy between what albums contained in Ning and what the galleries in JR contain. In particular, I think there needs to be, for each member, a gallery than contains all of the images that were not assigned to Ning albums and therefore should not be grouped into galleries in what seems to be a random fashion. I propose that this gallery be called " Loose Images ".

Am curious that you talk about there being photo albums on Ning as in their archives there is no evidence of this. There is a photo title and description fields, and that is it. On Ning do you have another option to group photos into albums? If so, Ning have neglected to include this information in the archive so as such, there's not a lot that can be done on import. (this wouldn't be the first omission on their part either!!).

Just so you know, when I first developed the import module, I allocated Jamroom's 'gallery_title' to the profile name on import so that all profiles did have just one gallery. A few weeks ago some ex Ningsters said this was wrong and wanted the photo title to be the gallery title so I change the import module accordingly. As I said above, without the album info from Ning, there's not a lot else we can do on import.
