Ning Ninga skin vs Site Builder

03/09/15 09:34:49AM, by perrie

I love drag and drop, since I really not efficient enough in html and CSS coding. Can I use the Site Builder instead of the Ning Ninga skin and still import (I have not as of yet), or am do I have to use the Ninga skin if I want to import my Ning archive?

birthdate field from Ning backup

07/08/15 01:08:06AM, by White Agency

There is a birthdate field that comes across from Ning in the format yyyy-mm-dd If I set this field up using the form designer and set it to use the date type it doesn't pick up the date because it's in the wrong format. Could the import correct the format or the date type allow the yyyy-mm-dd format ?

Important questions about Ning "Groups"

11/11/14 09:30:09AM, by brian

I've been discussing the Groups module with Paul, and I'm concerned that we may have gone about this in the wrong way. I know several of you have already imported and are working on your sites, but I think now is the time to change things if needed to ensure we have a solid foundation going forward. Part of the issue I believe is a misunderstanding (on our end) about the "groups" function in Ning. I think I have a better understanding of it now, but I want to post what I think our Ning...

Something To consider when leaving Ning

03/31/15 06:54:22AM, by derrickhand300

When I went live with my JR site and changed the URL from ning- I didnt realize at the time that this would cut off my acess to my Ning accout-when i wanted to shut off the billing with Ning there was no way to do it within the Ning platform-My work around was to go into Paypal and suspend my subscription payment to Ning for $59.95/month When the billing cycle came due I got a notice from Ning telling me billing failed- I wrote them right back and told them I had moved the site and this...

Pages imported from my ning site

12/27/14 12:43:32PM, by Strumelia

Simple question for anyone on the JR Team: I have not gotten around to this yet, and tried searching here for the answer, no luck, so please remind me again?: I know my "pages" got imported from my ning archive and they got parked someplace and I now want to assign each Page to its proper parent Group. Where the heck do I find those un-associated Pages again? d'oh. I need to put them where they belong and I can't remember where they were put by the Import Tool. Where do I go to do this...

Featuring - can be better than Ning

11/13/14 11:39:54AM, by Ken Rich

The NingNova2 skin I am running (thanks to Paul) has an innovation that with just a couple of tweaks, would be "the bomb" for featuring, and no former Ning user would ever miss that aspect. In fact, what I'm suggesting would automate the process, help monetize the site, and look very similar to the old Ning view we are used to. On the top of this page there is a row of four spaces, and tabs for featured content http://indiegospel.net It is possible to have the content which displays be...

Migration from Ning: a few questions

09/04/16 12:47:22PM, by Elise

As you may have heard, Ning is ejecting 2.0 customers by eliminating the Mini plan and doubling the hosting fees of the survivors. You might a flurry of refugees, like myself. I am debating between Social Engine and Jamroom and I have questions 1) Groups. My groups need to a place to talk about specific topics. Do you have a group feature that has their own forums? I searched for this but all I found was a VERY long thread about the lack of this feature lol. If not, I assume groups...

Login for members imported from Ning

10/14/16 08:05:43AM, by researchcooperative

My important members are imported. They might want to login. Can they do this with their old login details? What explanation should I give them regarding login? If they cannot see their previous profile details after login, what should I tell them? I am hoping that mailgun will be set up soon, and I can begin communicating with my members again.

11/13/14 04:38:38PM, by soaringeagle

after a couple days of frustration with styling im finaly getting the hang of it and the trick of its really finding the items (and yea i know nearly everythings an item) that you want to target in the templates and add class names or containing divs to get the control you desire. a few important facts to remember 1 your skin is not the only templates you will need to add classes to, the skin and modules work together to build a page. 1 example is the ning discussion page and...

2 Suggestions for Jamroom to woo Ning creators

09/07/16 10:05:35AM, by Elise

Food for thoughts on things that would have made my experience easier... 1) Simple Import price based on # of members. $50 for less than 10 000. $120 for more. Why? Most Ning 2.0 owners don't know the size of their archive and turn to platforms who don't ask them this question. You might take a hit on a long import for a small network with lots of videos but at least you still wooed the customer. Pricing is based on 1 month of Ning hosting. - Your customer quickly says "yes". 2) Import...
