Looking for early Ning migrants


Ning To Jamroom

Brian, yes I was receiving the same error message within seconds for all imports but at Ning, we tend to have comments on just about every page so I can see why that was a red flag.

It's going to be very unnerving for Creators to come and 'test the waters' here unless ya'll roll out a 14 day free trial with all (basic) modules included. Blog, forum, photo, video, comments.

They'll never be able to test layouts and get a feel for design possibilities w/o them.....much less import. Is this (14day trial) something you have planned?

The same error pops up no matter what I try to import so it seems nothing is importing at all. Even w/o comments attached.

Alrightee have my 2.0 files copied over to the server. Went to Ning import, set the global config and went to tools. Only checked the first box (to see how it went) and received this error.

"jrComment module inactive - Abandon import"

Does this mean I must purchase the "user comments" module in order to proceed or lost the comments in my archive?

soaringeagle:
kos
download filezilla
i sent u the host name the login the pass the ligins the same but add @greentechnologyforums.com the pass is the same
when you log into the server in filezilla the left panel is your computers hard drives the right panels your website
i set your ftp root to your sites root
there you will see skins modules etc
when you purchase a module that doesnt just say "install' you download a zip unzip it in the zip thered be unzipped into the fike name say jraudio
on your drive enter that folder inside it you will see modules
since theres a modules un the root u just upload that to the root
alternately enter the modules folder on each side then upload the content

you can then go into your skins if you cloned elastic skin you gave it a name like stbelastic that will have a folder inside stbelastic u will see css
you can right click a css file and view/edit it will open in notepad u make your edits close and save and fz will say do you want to stop editing and upload..click yes

it alows u to edot every file on the server (dont touch php unless you know what your doing or u will break the site) this gives u full control like u never had with ning

Yeah, uh buddy I think I'm just going to step aside on this one and let you have at it. It's clearly over my head and if I'm not getting it, I guarantee you 90% of Ning Creators will not get it either.

It may be better for me to wait at this juncture or seek an alternative.

btw the email notifications are maddening when you have to click each and every one. Would be nice if they contained the first few sentences of the reply. I could zip through my email and get the message, without opening 10 tabs.

SE you assume I know anything a/b Filezilla, servers and such. Nope. Nada. Zip. Just as most Ning NC's won't either. LOL I'll look for someone instructional videos once the stock market closes (my main job) and keep plugging along. I'm making a step-by-step list for Ning smidiots just like me b/c I can guarantee you - as it stands, they'd run for the hills. lol

Paul I have a 2.0 archive to upload. Just confused on 'where' to upload it. You said "upload it to a folder" but I don't see where one does this. Under the Ning upload 'tools' one checks what will be imported but no place to attach the files. It's confusing to novice eyes.......one would expect an button there to attach and upload. Merely give you this as feedback.
