  • What it does

    Jamroom 4 Import (module jrImport) copies a Jamroom 4 site into this site: its artist and member profiles become profiles, and their songs, videos, images and blog posts become items. It's for owners moving up from Jamroom 4.

    ACP > Modules > Tools > Jamroom 4 Import

  • Before you start

    • On the Jamroom 4 site, install the jrExport module and set a key in it.
    • Import into a new, empty site, and back up first. Imported profiles and items are mixed in with any that already exist.

  • Setting it up

    In Global Config:

    1. Remote Site Settings: enter the Jamroom 4 site's Remote Site URL, and the Remote Key you set in jrExport. If both sites are on the same domain, check Local Site, which copies files directly and is much faster.
    2. Quota Mapping: for each quota here, enter the IDs of the Jamroom 4 quotas whose profiles go into it, comma separated. Put * in the quota that takes all unmapped profiles.
    3. Options: choose which empty profiles to skip (see the table).

    Then run Tools > Import. When it's done, Tools > Convert queues the imported audio and video for conversion. Check Module Lock afterwards, so nobody runs the import again by mistake.
