Just not much description and information on the marketplace offerings...so why blindly spend money?


Design and Skin Customization

Therein is the problem...no way to see what the bundles really are. What does the Ning bundle have and how does it work?

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/bundle/18/ning-to-jamroom
Quote: The Ning To Jamroom bundle is specifically designed for existing Ning users looking to migrate to Jamroom 5 and gain your freedom from the upcoming Ning 3 apocalypse.

Includes the following items:
NingJa Skin
Ning Notes
Ning Import
Profile Groups
Profile Group Discussions
Profile Group Pages
User Comments
Video Support
Profile Events
Audio Support
YouTube Support
SoundCloud Tracks
Vimeo Support

If you want more information on how a module works you can ask in the forums. Direct questions usually seam to get a better response rate so something like "How does the xxxxxx module work? does it have xxx?" will usually elicit a link to a demo or screenshots. And if it doesn't work that way then you'll probably be directed to ask for it as a feature request in the "suggestions" area.

That works to an extent, but then you do not really know if any Custom CSS has changed the basic format of the skin/module. That is what I would like to be able to see is the raw/virgin offering.

white board? How do we remove Jamroom logos from our site?


Using Jamroom

Couldn't find this addressed thru search. I thought that this was a white board usage, so how do we remove the Jamroom logo from our sites?

Profile verification not working for members


Ning To Jamroom

I have a domain set up and the site is working. So perhaps the other routes will be my answer.

So discontented NING user here and questions I have about Jamroom

Hi @JeffH,

Welcome to the fourms. There is a special forum for Ning users here:
https://www.jamroom.net/ning-to-jamroom/forum

where a lot of ning specific communication is going on.

In answer to your question, yes Jamroom has a sitemap and is very well setup for search engine optimization.

Here is an example of the sitemap in xml form ready to be put into Google Developer Tools or wherever else wants it:

https://www.jamroom.net/sitemap.xml

Its reconstructed automatically so it stays up to date with new content that is added.

Tried posting here but it keeps coming up that "improper forum category-please try again". There is no forum category selection area, so what am I doing wrong?

Figured out the issue but a correction for you: I was on the selection of Newest Posts and not in a specific forum area. But there is an add post there, just clicked on it and wasn't thinking. Might want to get rid of that add post when a person is just browsing NEWEST POSTS.

Profile verification not working for members


Ning To Jamroom

I have just loaded up the core using Arvixe 1 click connect. No changes, as just wanting to learn the system. Tried to set up a profile and the emails are getting rejected:

If your emails aren't being received by Yahoo Mail accounts, here's information that should help you understand why this is happening.

Why you're seeing this error
Your message wasn't delivered because Yahoo was unable to verify that it came from a legitimate email sender.

Your email failed one or more of the following industry-wide authentication checks that Yahoo uses to verify emails are truly sent from the domains they claim to originate from. Click an authentication method's link below to learn more.

SO: What am I doing wrong?

Inline Activity Feed: Is there one or going to be one ?


Ning To Jamroom

John Bizley:
Thanks Paul, I will look into those skins. Just using the Jamroom ones for now so as to find my way around the system in it's default mode first.

@Strumelia's right @John-Bizley. In a lot of other systems a skin just controls colors but in Jamroom it controls features too.

The skin designer is the one who gets to say what Jamroom does by releasing the content that's been uploaded to the profiles.

Some skins will be setup as general skins that try to use all the modules available, while others are built for more specific purposes and don't show of some modules at all.

You can customize a skin to make it do whatever you want.

An example of very different skins are:
"The Media Pro skin Demo"
http://demo.jamroom.net/jrMediaPro/

and
"The Genosis Family History Online skin"
http://www.genosisfamily.com/

Both run Jamroom 5 but if you put the family tree building modules into MediaPro they would not appear on the skin at all. You could make a "Music and family tree" system as a skin but you would need to do some customization. :)

If your thinking Ning, then right now Ningja is the skin you'll want. I expect that once we get that skin sorted feature wise that you will see others bring out more skins aimed at Ning users.

Question in this. While we are building our own sites, a lot is dependent upon these skins (unless you build them yourself). So they do an update with additional features, but the update does away with prior features that I liked. How would one retain those features they liked, but still get the additional features of the new skin?
