2 simple questions about private messaging/following

Ning To Jamroom

@iamtimbo -

There is no "who I am following" list at the moment. This was brought up in another thread on this topic.

It's a necessary addition. The question is how does it get surfaced in the UI?

I thought it might be nice to add it to the stats section, only visible to the profile owner. Do you have other thoughts?

Still waiting to hear back on when this might get implemented.

Home Page Latest Forum URLs - all broken

Ning To Jamroom

If you take a close look at the screen shot - the URL at the very bottom of the page - you will see that it's routed to the member forum, not the site-wide forum owner, which is me.

http://www.thechocolatelife.com/michele-williams/forums/14649/tech-help-tips-tricks-techniques/tempering-chocolate#last

The URLs are correct when I go to the Forums page and they are correct in the Activity Timeline. They are just wrong in the Latest Forums Post box.

This is a problem as you might imagine and, again, I have no idea what might have caused the change in behavior since last night.

One thing I did notice that may or may not be related. When I woke up this morning the Private Notes function was missing from the top nav! I went into the Quota Config and it was set properly there, but I went in and re-applied the quota config settings and it reappeared. This is not the first time this has happened but before I was willing to believe it was because I wasn't paying attention to the quota settings.

I did disable and re-enable the " Allow Profile Forum " capability in the jrForum quota config but this did not address the problem. What I did notice was that when this was off, no Forum posts from members were visible on the home page. I turned it back on and the Forum posts reappeared on the home page, but the URLs were still wrong.

I did not do anything in any of the related template files last night to mess with the URLs this way. I did add some sub-menus to items in the top nav (hover over pages, for example) but I can't see how this would affect what's being displayed in the Latest Profile Forums content block.

Creating a sandbox copy of current site - without images - best way

I could do a partial import.

What happens if I do the import on the entire photos JSON but only the first directory of photos is copied over - the first 1000 images? Will the script fail gracefully? I would do that as a separate import. I am not worried about orphaned images - just enough to be able to test sorting and such.

Missing 8 groups on Ning Import

I will do.

All skins Header.tpl COMPARE function broken.

Ning To Jamroom

Broken for me, too.

header.tpl

Not footer.tpl and not a random other template on the list.

Missing 8 groups on Ning Import

Ning To Jamroom

@Strumelia -

I did a browser search on " groupPrivacy " (as that string shows up only once for each group) to determine if they all were created by me.

They were.

I don't know the import script but it looks like groups 0-6 (the oldest groups) did not get imported.

Missing 8 groups on Ning Import

Ning To Jamroom

Of the 20 groups listed here on my Ning site only 13 made it through the import ... i.e., are visible on Groups page. Looking in the datastore browser they rest are simply not there.

But all 20 are in the JSON files as can be seen in the screenshot.

The view JSON archive tool in PHP array is very cool.

One note, Paul, you might want to consider making the default selection null (i.e., "Select an archive") because the first archive (blog) could be huge and take a really, really, really long time to load.

Thanks -

If it does this then I am good to go when it comes to rolling up my sleeves and working on the design of a header and other aspects of the site.

Build Selected Pages Only in Site Builder?

Ning To Jamroom

Q1) Possible? Or do I have to build the entire site with it?

Q2) If answer to Q1 is yes, can I build a page (say, the home page) in a sandbox site and copy the code for the page into my current working site?
