Ning Endangered?


Off Topic

So back whenever that article was written 2 venture funded sites which had millions of dollars in funding:
* grouply $4.84M https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/grouply#/entity
* Posterous $10.14M https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/posterous#/entity

Must have had a bunch of Ning users switch to them, then they both disappear.

What a waste of money on the investors side, and some pissed off users on the client side.

Ning Endangered?


Off Topic

This is hilarious,

On this page:
http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Alive..._OR_ARE_THEY

they list Ning as on the "Endangered" list:
Quote: Ning in 2010 has laid off 40% of staff and seems to be running out of money [1] . There is certainly some networks worth archiving among the 2 million networks[2] they host. Grouply[3] and Posterous[4] say they are going to offer migration tools.
but the links they link to that say "....say they are going to offer migration tools." have both shut down!!

Ning users can't be feeling very secure right now.

Migration from Ning: a few questions


Ning To Jamroom

Jamroom is closer to the Twitter model than the Facebook one. If you like stuff that someone is posting and want to keep up to date with what they say, follow them. If they follow you back you can private message each other.

Stymied by Site Builder


Using Jamroom

The way things worked before site builder is:
* a skin designer builds a set of templates in a skin that the user of the skin then modifies.
* a skin designer links all those pages together in the menu of the skin.

When you turn on Site Builder its turning on a different way of doing things.

Site builder allows you to build your own menu and structured layouts for each page.

You can use the same links that exist from the skin in the menu, but you'll need to re-add them to the menu.

So if you want to use site builder, take note of the link locations that exist in the menu that you want to keep, and add them back into the menu. Then you can drag them around where you want them to go.

--
To add the activity timeline to a location on a site builder page:
* go to the page
* setup the page layout
* add a widget to a section on the page
* choose "Item List" and select the "Timeline" from the "List Module" dropdown.
* in the "Order By" section choose "_created" and "descending" so that you get the most recent at the top.
* click SAVE CHANGES
* click VIEW CHANGES

and your timeline will appear.

Questions about using Profile Exclude


Using Jamroom

If you have questions its because my docs weren't good enough. I have updated the docs with what I hope is the answers to your question on how to use it. Check it out here:

Docs: "Profile Exclude"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/3899/profile-exclude

#2 ) Profile Exclude will only exclude it from the jrCore_list function it will still be a normal profile in every other respects. It will still be visible to all users.

FYI: {jrCore_list} is the main list building function in jamroom used for getting stuff back from the datastore.

Docs: "{jrCore_list}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-developers-guide/89/jrcore-list

#3 ) Just normal users, their stuff will behave as normal, just not shown in the list.

Bootstrap


Jamroom Developers

There is a base bootstrap skin that is un-supported but used by some here:

https://github.com/ussher/bootstrap

Its a community thing though, so if a community wants to fork it and keep improving it they can.
