Migrating From Ning - Can Large Sites Successfully Migrate?
Installation and Configuration

FYI - Another Ning site with 13500 members has just successfully imported their entire Ning archive to Jamroom.
We have an import tool that does it all for you that you can use yourself (they did) or we can do it for you -

Problems importing members
Ning To Jamroom

OK - Thanks
If we are to do a module for this we might as well give it the same Ning features so that other migrants will be happy.
Can any other Ningsters here advise on the 'by invitation' bit?

Problems importing members
Ning To Jamroom

So there are sub-sections? -

Public
--> Everything
--> Just the main page
Private
--> Anyone
--> Only invited people

How do the invites work? By email with a code or by admin validation of signups?

Code Question 3
Using Jamroom

I also spent a long time thinking java = javascript!!
Another one I don't get is the answer to the question "What does PHP stand for?"
"PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor."
Huh? And that is from the official PHP docs!!

Email change validation
Jamroom Developers

This would need to be a custom module that listens for the db_update_item event and takes appropriate action if the user_email has been updated.

how do I choose a random quota_id from a set?
Using Jamroom

Quote: What I would like to figure out now, is how to "weight" one quota more than another.
The could be hard coded in the template something like this -
{jrCore_random_number min=6 max=8 assign="weighted_quota_id"}
{if $weighted_quota_id == 8}
    {assign var="weighted_quota_id" value=7}
{/if}
{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" quota_id=$weighted_quota_id  . . .}

defaulting to www
Ning To Jamroom

Not sure about clearing the cookie table. I've never tried it so dunno if it would break things.
You could try emptying the /data/cache folder - I know that doesn't do any harm.
Also the jrCore_cache table if need be (I think I've done that before without any detrimental effect!!)

How Do I Modify Code - Featuring by Quota - Template Copying
Using Jamroom

Its really just a case of working efficiently and not scrolling up and down checking what the questions were.
Also, it makes it easier for other users who may have the same issue when they search the forum looking for answers.
It also helps if threads stay 'on topic'. Invariably, if a thread is hi-jacked, the originator is left high and dry!!

I think you've answered your own question ;-)

Caching - That's why its not changing. If you wait the cache time (300 seconds by default) it should change when refreshed.

To make things random you need to alter the order_by parameter the those top_members.tpl, top_songs.tpl etc. files -

{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" order_by="profile_name random" . . .}

If you really want these templates to refresh every time, try the following (though its not recommended on a busy site)

{jrCore_list module="jrProfile" order_by="profile_name random" no_cache=true . . .}
