How do I get my new SiteBuilder-built home page to be the default?

Using Jamroom

I'm saying, that what happens on a server when its not told where to go, is that it has a system.

When you ask to go to some-site.com/ that that is not a real full url. Its like asking your husband "could you go to the shops and get me a." It doesn't really know what to do, it sort of does, but is uncertain.

The system servers use when given partial instructions is to complete them for you. The location they go to is called the 'index page'. (Its called that because what used to happen was a server would display an index or list of files that exist at that location and you would then pick one to go to.)

So when you click on site.com/home as is linked to by your "Home" link it points to a full url. When there is not a full url, the index shows.

If you wanted to keep the contents of the index.tpl page as a reference, you could copy the file to reference.tpl then access it at your-site.com/reference

Can I direct users to the Home page upon login, instead of to their Profile page?

Using Jamroom

You can set that up on a per-quota basis.

Go to:
ACP -> MODULES -> USERS -> USERS -> QUOTA CONFIG -> Login Redirect Page

I see the issue, you have the URL for your "Home" link in your header pointed to the /home2 url.

So you've created the page at /home2.

What you want to do is go to /

So go to your-site.com/ then click the SITE BUILDER button from there and over-ride the existing / page.

Then in your MENU EDITOR make the "Home" link point to /

Sounds like a caching issue to me:
ACP -> MODULES -> CORE -> SYSTEM CORE -> TOOLS -> RESET CACHES

What you did should stick.

What causes a Youtube video to show the embed code instead of the video?

Using Jamroom

Media takes up space, space costs money/month so structure you're site so its sustainable.

Embedding youtube via jrEmbed or adding a youtube url and converting via jrUrlScan cost you nothing, but you'll get the adverts.

Import of Ning members who signed up with facebook/twitter/google

Installation and Configuration

Im saying, that if the user wants to login with facebook and they go click the facebook button on the NETWORKS tab then they can login with facebook.

What I'm not certain of is if they will be able to login with facebook BEFORE clicking that button or not. They might need to get the new account notification details first provided by the tool in the import system. Not sure, haven't done many imports. Paul will probably know.

Import of Ning members who signed up with facebook/twitter/google

Installation and Configuration

They will probably need to go to their NETWORKS tab and re-authorize your site with their network as the domain name will have changed.

The networks you allow will show up there, go to the user menu (the one with your name in the profile header bar) -> ACCOUNT SETTINGS -> NETWORKS

Thanks Holly, your explanation I'm sure will be helpful to others, so I've added it to our docs:

Much appreciated.

What causes a Youtube video to show the embed code instead of the video?

Using Jamroom

What is the file name of the file you're trying to attach? can you copy+paste the file name here please. Wondering if it has any strange characters in it or upper case letters or anything else weird about it.

Using Jamroom

The Embed module and the url scanner module do different things.
