Ooooops....I just noticed that this link http://www.storyforgestudios.com/welsh-american-genealogy/gencore/pedigree#4 opens different pages depending on where it is clicked from. If you click it from the above post it opens the 'example', formerly 'default' tree. If you click it from my profile page it opens my new 'Ceri Shaw' tree. Slightly confused.....

Playing with this now....am I correct in assuming that I can use this page http://www.storyforgestudios.com/welsh-american-genealogy/child-samplefamily-1/blog as an exemplar page ( some basic instructions and stuff ) and leave it there for the benefit of new members? I have demoted it from default status and I'm wondering if it can be left ( once suitably adapted ) as a guide.

Then I am assuming I can get on with building my own tree from this page http://www.storyforgestudios.com/welsh-american-genealogy/gencore/pedigree#4 as can other members when they have an account.

Assuming this is the case....why when I click on the trees view ( or individual trees ) from this page does it simply refresh the page and not open those trees

Many thanks I think I will install Genosis today and start it with trees from just myself and my partner. This will provide us with an opportunity to explore importing ( she has a Gedcom file ) and raw research ( I have to start from scratch ). Once we've got somewhere with it we will invite others to open an account.

One further question....if I start this on our existing server and then migrate AmeriCymru to an instance of J5 on Arvixe, can I move the Genosis site to the Arvixe server? How easy is it to relocate?

A niche ancestry.com is exactly what I had in mind So....if I go ahead and start using it in that way now, I would have to explain to researchers that all trees are visible to all researchers and trust them to work on their own tree and not alter or edit other peoples?

Wiould it be possible to alter existing access levels if the new user account config is introduced at a later date?

OK so I read the fine manual and it appears that the answer to question 1 above is yes I am however, still unclear as to whether one Genosis install will host multiple entirely unrelated family trees which can be accessed by different users?

I am in the process of moving my 3600 member Ning site to Jamroom. This is a long process and consists almost entirely of waiting at the moment Unfortunately I am on Ning 3.0 so I am waiting for the archiver which is purportedly in the works.

Meanwhile I had intended developing genealogy provision on the AmeriCymru site, probably by means of a Joomla extension which would be linked from it.

My question is twofold:-

1. Am I right in assuming that I need to install Genosis as a separate core on my server. AND if so will I be able to combine logins when I move the main AmeriCymru site to Jamroom.

2. The genealogy group on AmeriCymru has around 100 members. Will I be able to offer them ALL ( and future members too ) their own distinct and unique family trees together with all site features.

I hope I have explained clearly. I would like if possible to use Genosis now ( as an adjunct to AmeriCymru ) and hopefully sync the two more closely when I take the main site over to Jamroom.

Many thanks in anticipation.

RE: Migration from Ning 3.0

Ning To Jamroom

Thanks Paul...will do this tomorrow...despite these minor hiccups (mostly my fault) I am liking Jamroom more and more. One further question occurs to me though. Is it possible to have a front page activity feed ( a la ning ) which combines all updates from the site and allows comments on the front page?

ooops ok...I guess I'm a bit trigger happy

Will let you know if anything is non functional. I did get a warning that the jrGroup module was not installed.
