New Ning To Jamroom Support Forum


Ning To Jamroom

Dear friends, I am back in town. I have consulted with my admins this morning and we are about to make a big decision which is to abandon the transfer of files project and build our network from scratch. We think it is a chance to re-structure the site, weed out old and outdated content, inactive members and give the whole thing a new look instead of bringing over all what we have now. We are weighing what we lose in such a decision against what we gain and we are about to make the decision.
I would like to hear what you all think about such a decision. Advice me please.
If there is someone out here that has built their network here from scratch, please chime in your thoughts.
if this happens, it will be the first major clean up for the network since its creation in 2008. We have only 2000+ members and very less than 500 who are regular and active. It is one of the reasons we think it is the right decision to make now.
Any ideas will be highly appreciated.
Denis.

Thanks for all the support and guidance. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately I am away from my PC. I am with my students on their annual excursion. I will only get back to the migration project on Tuesday. I want to try another FTP client. Failure to do so again I would like to find a way to send you the files. I really wish to get over this before my next Ning billing day on February 23rd.

I am still stuck. Here attached is a list of step by step instructions given that I have followed over and over. I am just wondering whether there is another way to do this without using FTP.

Thanks Michael. I am guessing I didn't enter the right information somewhere. It should connect. I am trying to get the Ning archived files on my pc on to Jamroom via File zilla. The file attached is the information I got after setting up the ftp account in my c-panel. I am not sure that is the right thing to do and the right information to enter on filezilla. Please help me.

Hi Strumelia, yeah it is fun to seek refuge here. I have installed Filezilla on my laptop. I am trying to figure out how to fill out the required information and then proceed with the transfer of the files. Like you rightly mentioned, I don't really mind losing a few media files.
My problem was to know whether when the Ning archive software says some files couldn't be downloaded, it means the downloaded ones are affected or not. From your answer, I think they aren't.
I wish the forum comment box here had the possibility to uplaod an image.

Thanks Paul, I was just doubting which FTP client to choose as I have 3 options in my c-panel. I will now go with FileZilla since you are familiar with it and can help if I get stuck.

Thanks for the reply. I am still reading around. From what I have read I guess my next step is to upload my archived files to Jamroom using FTP. I haven't used FTP before so I still have to figure out how.

Ning To Jamroom

Hello everyone here, new friends and old Ning friends, I have finally found some time to make the move to Jamroom with my two Ning based sites. I have been reading around here a lot since yesterday trying to find my way around. I count on you to make a successful move and end my never-ending Ning monthly bills.
I would like to state what I have already done so that helpers here can easily see my problems.
1. I have installed my Jamroom package via Softaculous automatic installer in the c-panel of one of my websites.
2. I have installed the free Ning Import package.
3. My two ning websites are archived on an external hard drive I bought.
Things I can't figure out at the moment:
1. When running the Ning archive software, media files were very hard to be successfully downloaded. In most cases they had a number of files that couldn't be downloaded. Will that affect the import to Jamroom? How?
2. How do I get the archived files on my external hard drive on to Jamroom?
3. I read somewhere that there was a special skin designed to accommodate all content from a Ning website. How do I get that? I see only two skins: Elastic and Lucid.
Help on the above three questions and more would be highly appreciated.
P.S
My current ning networks are:
www.myeeonline.com
www.seatofwisdomcollege.com
My newly installed Jamroom site is at:
http://myeverydayenglish.com/network/

Cheers!
