Ning To Jamroom

Hi Paul,
I want to say that you have done a great, wonderful job! I think there is nothing more a former ning user can wish / want from this and I am sure that is overcomes all expectations one can have, not in disregard of your great skills and proffesionalism but only because the other solutions existing so far were dissapointing. You have realized THE BEST MIGRATION PROCESS FROM NING THAT IT CAN BE .
The modifications you made in order to show sign-up questions on profile page and actually preserving data during import are wonderful.
I strongly reccomend to promote this not only for media sites which may come from ning but for all sites users can have there, even blogging comunities, painting communities, fishing communities and whatsoever as Jamroom can not compare to what Ning offers now! I have worked with Joomla, Boonex, Wordpress, Ning, SocialEngine, Phpfox, Skadate, Oxwall but Jamroom is the best, as it offers all the features one can think of, easy to handle and to manage, the administration of the site easy to use, the scripts are easy to understand and very flexible, the site design can be easely modified in order to suit specific visions, it offers multilanguage support and one of the most important things for a CMS Webmaster / Admin, great, great support!
So, congratulations, you are the best!
Wonderful job!
Best Regards,
Alex

admin dashboard


Using Jamroom

It could be done pretty easily with a bit of custom skin template work that checks if visitor are logged in and redirects to a splash screen with signup and login links.
Or maybe with an adaptation of our jrLaunch module.

Does your current Ning site run this way? Is this a Ning feature that other Ning migrants might expect of Jamroom? If so, we'll look into getting it done here ready for them.

admin dashboard


Using Jamroom

Hi Pam - Welcome to Jamroom.

How do I find the admin dashboard?
When logged in, click on the ACP (Admin Control Panel) link at the top of all the pages. This will take you to all the 'back end' admin pages where you can config and customise your Jamroom site. This is a new installation of JR so on entering every page in this admin area a 'Tour Guide' will popup explaining what the page is all about. Take some time getting to know this admin area - you'll be spending a lot of time there!!

Can members set up their on pages?
Members can create and upload their own content and media. Is that what you are asking?

Can the shopping cart be removed from members pages?
The shopping cart should only show if you have one of our payment modules installed, whack I know you haven't. This may be a bug in the skin templates. I'll check that out.

Can certain pages on jamroom be private?
Jamroom profile pages can be private, and their privacy status can be controlled by the profiles (members) themselves. Options are 'public', 'followers' which means that only the profile and his followers can see the pages, or 'private' which means only the profile owner can view the page.

Can sites be set up as invitation only?
If a profile page is set to 'followers', you can then invite people to follow you.

Enjoy the wine ;-)

Migrate from Ning to Jamroom


Suggestions

Can I just add that I'm currently working on the docs and FAQs for the above page and they should be done in the next day or two, so then we can 'go public' with that new Jamroom site section, but feel free to start using the forum there now.

Using Jamroom

Looks like at the start of the first link there is a 'back tick' instead of a single quote.
Sorry about that - my text editor does that sometimes!!

Welcome


Ning To Jamroom

Welcome to Jamroom!

Our goal here is to help you to move your Ning Community over to Jamroom - a job that we hope to make as seamless and easy as possible for you.

If you are currently a Ning user, please checkout our Ning to Jamroom migration documentation:

https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/documentation

this will help you to fully understand what is involved in the process of "importing" your Ning site to a Jamroom site.

If you have any questions, please post them in the forum here and we will follow up as soon as we can.

You may also want to visit the main Jamroom pages and its forum at https://www.jamroom.net in order to get more of an insight as to what Jamroom is all about, as well as our other Jamroom Network based projects at http://www.genosisfamily.com and http://proximacore.com

The whole of jamroom.net, including the two non-jamroom links above, is based on a single Jamroom CMS installation, so you are now looking at what can be achieved by using Jamroom, and what it can do for you and your sites.

Thanks
Paul (Jamroom Team)

jrCore_db_search_items parameter issue


Jamroom Developers

I've often run into the same issue!!
Basically, jrCore_db_search_items cannot test the state of items that are not on the datastore in the first place.
You'll need to somehow make sure that there is a profile_latitude field for all profiles, even if it's empty.

Using Jamroom

Try this -
function smarty_function_blRotate_rotate_phrases($params, &$smarty)
{ global $_conf; $key = 'footer_powered_by'; if ($footer = jrCore_is_cached('blRotate', $key)) { return $footer; } $_options = array( 'Phrase 1', 'Phrase 2', 'Phrase 3', 'Phrase 4', 'etc.', 'etc.', 'etc.' ); $_links = array( ‘http://link_to_Phrase1.com', 'http://link_to_Phrase2.com', 'http://link_to_Phrase3.com', 'http://link_to_Phrase4.com', 'etc.', 'etc.', 'etc.' ); $k = array_rand($_options); $option = $_options[$k]; $link = $_links[$k]; $footer = '<span style="font-size:9px;"><a href="' . $link . '">' . $option . '</a></span>'; jrCore_add_to_cache('jrCore', $key, $footer); return $footer; }

Hold on - Wait to see if it works first. I've not actually tried the above code ;-)

Using Jamroom

Just create a /modules/blRotate/include.php file and put this in it -
<?php
/// make sure we are not being called directly
defined('APP_DIR') or exit();

function blRotate_meta(){
    $_tmp = array(
        'name'        => 'Rotate Phrases',
        'url'         => 'rotate',
        'version'     => '0.0.1',
        'developer'   => 'BopLive' . strftime('%Y'),
        'description' => 'Prives a smarty function to rotate promotional phrases',
        'category'    => 'site',
        'license'     => 'mpl',
        'activate'    => true
    );
    return $_tmp;
}

function blRotate_init(){
    return true;
}

function smarty_function_blRotate_rotate_phrases($params, &$smarty)
{ global $_conf; $key = 'footer_powered_by'; if ($footer = jrCore_is_cached('blRotate', $key)) { return $footer; } $_options = array( 'Phrase 1', 'Phrase 2', 'Phrase 3', 'Phrase 4', 'etc.', 'etc.', 'etc.' ); $k = array_rand($_options); $option = $_options[$k]; $footer = '<span style="font-size:9px;"><a href="' . $_conf['jrCore_base_url'] . '">' . $option . '</a></span>'; jrCore_add_to_cache('jrCore', $key, $footer); return $footer; }
Then put {blRotate_rotate_phrases} in the template where you want it to show.
