Importing members from Ghost

Using Jamroom

Just a note: here is what a Ghost "id" looks like:

Paul:

I was having some SFTP access issues but was able to finally download the sample_members.csv file from
.../modules/jrExporter/plugins/CSV/samples

Following are the column headings from that file. I don’t know what some of them mean and which are required to have something in them. I can see how to do some of the mapping.

at
user_name
user_email
_profile_export_id
_user_export_id
_profile_created
_profile_updated
_user_created
_user_updated
profile_quota_id
profile_private
user_password
_profile_file.image
_user_file.image

Here are the columns in the Ghost export:

id
email
name
note
subscribed_to_emails
complimentary_plan
stripe_customer_id
created_at
deleted_at
labels
tiers

I am not sure I know how to clone a quota but I was planning on creating a new quota. If I can clone an existing quota with all its attributes – that would be great. I searched the documentation but found no reference to that capability.

I checked and jrNewsletter does allow me to send to specified quotas.

I will be happy to send you a test CSV for you to run.

Thanks.

I have installed both modules and will FTP to my site to find the sample .CSV file.

I want to confirm:

1) the importer module will dedupe email addresses already in the database
2) whether or not the imported members will be notified by email or if that is a manual process for me

Forum Category URL -- bad URL

Using Jamroom

On my JR site, I have a forum category: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

The URL for this category is: https://archive.thechocolatelife.com/community/forums/tech-help-tips-tricks--techniques

HOWEVER, when I click on it I go to the category listing page: https://archive.thechocolatelife.com/community/forums/

If I take a look at the links in my analytics software (Fathom) I can get to forum entries like:

https://archive.thechocolatelife.com/community/forums/tech-help-tips-tricks-techniques/16141/my-toffee-has-problems-please-help

The problem does not appear to be as simple the second dash between tricks--techniques but I don’t know why the discrepancy and how to solve the problem.

One more issue – I am self-hosting and this module does not appear to be in the marketplace.

Michael – That does appear to be the solution, but the link to the documentation generates an "OOPS... PAGE NOT FOUND" error for me with or without my VPN active.

Importing members from Ghost

Using Jamroom

I have been working on SSO from Ghost and running into lots of problems making it work.

In the meantime, I want to import a subset of members. I used to host this community on Jamroom and want to import members that signed up since I made the switch to Ghost.

I can export members from Ghost no problem but I have been looking around for an import feature that was not associated with Ning3 imports. There is no obvious entry in the documentation and I searched for posts on this topic in this forum.

I also want to make sure that the import function:

* will dedupe the imports based on email addresses already in the database
* will send an email to the new members asking them to create a password and complete their profile

Finally, that I know the correct order of columns for the import.

TIA,
Clay

Installation and Configuration

Michael –

Thanks for this. After I asked this question I started doing a module-by-module look at the info and global config tabs and found the Marketplace versions setting.

Why would I want to keep more than the current version around (on a production server)? I am not doing any active development and so don’t have dev and staging servers.
