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...

soaringeagles guide to styling jamrooms ning skin

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...

Getting ready to migrate second Ning site to JR.

02/12/16 12:12:12PM, by ICW

We are getting ready to migrate a second Ning site to JR. It's been quite a while since I did this (about 4 months) and I'm no more tech savvy than I was the last time I did this.... LOL... (although I did try to keep some notes from last time) Can you remind me about what I need to do to get ready to do this and how to schedule the migration? We definitely want to use your import services so that you (Paul?) can help with the migration again this time. Thanks! Deb

my list of things ning migrators will mkiss

How Easy Is It to Move A Ning 2.0 Site to JamRoom?

09/05/16 06:13:49AM, by SamanthaB

Like many other Ning Creators, I've been notified that the prices have more than doubled and I don't ask members to contribute towards the cost and wish to move my site elsewhere. I created it approx. 7 years ago and don't want to lose the community and all their hard work. My site focuses on members' photos and all the comments other members contribute - if I switched to JamRoom, would those comments be retained? Haven't got a clue what to do next - any help much appreciated. Haven't got a...

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.

Importing Ning Backup. I'm I Missing Something Simple?

12/28/14 11:08:09AM, by AndyF

Exactly how do I import my Ning Backup files into my new NINGJA template? Is this a FTP function or is it easily done from the ACP? I've been all over the Ning Import Module and the Import Ning Archive tab and can't figure it out (it's probably something simple that I'm missing).

11/10/14 11:52:27AM, by brian

I've just finished uploading and setting up the new Ning specific modules into the Marketplace and have created a special Bundle for Ning Users: https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/bundle/18/ning-to-jamroom Right now it is $99 for early adopters, and that will include professional import assistance from us (while it still in "beta"). We really wanted to get this new bundle online as early as we could, as it allows sites to easily update to newer versions of these modules as we...

A question about moving from Ning to Jamroom

05/10/16 03:10:59PM, by Writer Chick

I was looking at the plans to see which one would be appropriate for me. I only have 594 members, but my storage might be a problem. According to Ning's records (and who knows whether they're accurate or not), I am using 52.45 GB of storage on my site. If that means I have to buy the plan that costs $60 a month, then I'm afraid you're out of my price range. I would not be using my own server, but Jamroom's.

Sending the New Passwords Ning Members

01/08/15 08:58:06AM, by AndyF

I'm attempting to send the email from Ning Import -> Tools -> Send Passwords and after I click send, it's saying "0 emails have been sent". What I'm I doing wrong?

Where are my groups after Ning import?

04/15/15 10:21:55PM, by restmin

Okay, I feel silly asking this, but I have watched all the videos and dug as deeply as possible and I am stumped. Basically I need to edit my page I created http://restministriessunroomcom.jamroomhosting.com/groups to other have all the groups listed... or if there is a page already made, link to it. I am hoping I will be able to also have some modules (most popular group, most recently active group, etc.). If this is a module feature can you point me in the right direction?
