jrUrlScan module NOT WORKING...

Design and Skin Customization

Do you have the jrYouTube module installed?
To parse a YouTube URL in a string, this module needs functions in the YouTube module.

organizing after import questions

Ning To Jamroom

Yes - "ning-to-jamroom" is a profile, just like yours and mine here, along with "the-jamroom-network" and a few others on this site, but they are in their own quota so that they can have features to make them work as site pages, like this.
So, presuming that your main imported forum, belongs to 'admin', make 'admin' the forum page.

The Jamroom forum is what you see here. It cannot nest categories. But maybe each category could be a profile and a page built to show profiles in the 'forum category' quota, if you see what I mean? That would indirectly create another layer of categories.

Trying out groups...

Ning To Jamroom

Don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but with respect, I'm wondering if you have worked through some of our online documentation or checked out our video courses at https://www.udemy.com/courses/search/?ref=home&q=jamroom

Apologies if you already have done this, but I feel that with just a bit more knowledge of what what Jamroom is about, the way it works and its concepts, you'll quickly see how to realise your website. Hope you don't mind me suggesting this.

What I would then suggest is a 'specification' of exactly what the website is to do, proposed pages, page links etc. That way we can work through it and propose exactly how Jamroom can achieve it.

Simple HTML and CSS usage in Jamroom

Design and Skin Customization

Sorry.
In the Admin Control Panel, click the Skins tab to see which skin is active (enabled) for your site. If its a fresh install it'll probably be 'Elastic'.
In your FTP, goto the skins folder then see sub-folders of all the installed skins. Goto the enabled folder and see all the templates for that skin. Add your file there.

Using the main Jamroom forums

Ning To Jamroom

Hey Guys, can I suggest that any questions about actually using, designing and configuring Jamroom be posted on the main Jamroom forums at https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum ?
It would be advantageous to you as your questions would be seen by a lot more Jamroom users so you could get quicker answers.

That would then leave this forum free for Ning import related issues.

Thanks
Paul

Lots of questions and issues being reported on the Ning forum

Ning To Jamroom

The jrSeamless module allows you to mix different Jamroom items in one listing, so, for example

{jrSeamless_list modules="jrVideo,jrYouTube,jrVimeo" order_by="_created NUMERICAL_DESC" limit=20}

would list the 20 latest uploaded video type items.

Ning activity feeds are not present in the Ning Archive, so none are imported.
Jamroom has its own activity lists so as with above, they will show as the site is used and people upload new items and make comments etc.

creating a profile cover photo (1 missing peicce to the puzzle)

Ning To Jamroom

You need the full module name in the call -

{jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrProfile" type="profile_cover" item_id=$_profile_id}

The /_v=1415322228 bit you likely copied from another bit of code that needed the '$_post._v' option passing to it. Its not needed to display an image.

RE: Migration from Ning 3.0

Ning To Jamroom

Hi Ceri
Yes. Just put the following code in the template where you want the activity feed to show -

{jrCore_list module="jrAction" order_by="_created NUMERICAL_DESC" limit="20"}

I knocked together a skin specifically for Ning migrants last night that demonstrates all imported Ning features, including front page activity feeds. I've took the liberty of uploading it to your site so that you can take a look. Its called 'NingTastic' !!

For adding comments anywhere use something like -

{jrComment_form module="jrProfile" profile_id=$_profile_id item_id=$_item_id}

(You'll need to check that the names of the smarty variables passed into the function are available in the template)

Note that in Jamroom, comments are always on an item (Profile, Audio, Video whatever). You cannot have 'general' comments. If you want that, it might be worth you looking at the jrForum module.
