RSS feed question for specific feed options

Design and Skin Customization

thank you!

Where are my groups after Ning import?

Ning To Jamroom


I had found that before, group discussions, group pages, and group support. so far, I don't see the listing of actual groups though. Maybe group support will have it. Site builder keeps getting stuck there and just keeps freezing up...

Where are my groups after Ning import?

Ning To Jamroom

got it! I wondered if they were hidden somewhere like the forums were under community profile. I am figuring out profiles and the way they work, but taking some time to know what was imported under community profile and what wasn't.

My main forums seem to have disappeared

Ning To Jamroom

@paul please dont think I am crazy, seriously, that page was blank last night. It is in my MENU all linked up. last night == nothing, but today I clicked on the same menu item and there is was. I didn't change a thing... :|

My main forums seem to have disappeared

Ning To Jamroom

My forums were at http://restministriessunroomcom.jamroomhosting.com/community/forum . I had been working with them a couple days ago, but now they seem to have disappeared.

I did change the profile "community" to "Sunroom-community" so it would make more sense to people, but http://restministriessunroomcom.jamroomhosting.com/sunroom-community/forum doesn't show the forums either.

I don't know where to look at all, since originally it had taken me a while to figure out they were under my community profile.

(I am staring to finally get this "profile" hierarchy.)
Hmmmm... sorry.

RSS feed question for specific feed options

Design and Skin Customization

I have a few RSS feeds I want to bring in (from my own main site). I have created them in the RSS feed reader and I see the code to add, but I am not sure how to make it more specific.

For example, this is a feed

But I would like to make a few options from this:

(1) pull the most recent post and make it the entire post.
(2) pull the last 5 feed titles of posts with no excerpts.
(3) pull the last 3 feed titles with excerpts.

I have no clue how to figure out the code for this.
If you can give me a hint, maybe I can go from there.

Do you recommend a good quick lesson on this kind of coding somewhere?

Thank you!

Assigning Group Pages to Groups

Ning To Jamroom

@strumelia So your ning is still active while you work? I have an import and just told my members 3 weeks ago nothing new would be transferred, but they are SO NOT happy about it. So you are doing a last minute import?

Also, not sure what is going on with group admins since I can't find my groups. :| Time for bed I think. but if you read this, let me know where you found them?

Curious, did you assign the group pages from Ning to JR yet? They have a tool for that, since the pages don't get assigned automatically but I didn't make any of those pages and I can only see the title, (things like FAQ or Help) so I am trying to contact some group admins and ask if the titles look familiar.

I may tell all old group admins to make sure to copy their pages content before I shut down Ning. They put a lot of time into the pages sometimes and I do want to keep them happy

Thx for your tips!

Refining what is in Activity Feed

Design and Skin Customization

I found that template, but I don't know what to do with it. Sorry...

If you need a good representation of a Ning person feeling lost over here, I am a good example. I usually know my way around websites pretty well, but am feeling completely lost over here...

PS: I am trying to finalize my wish list to hire out... but it's time consuming to just see what I can and cannot do myself. Thanks for all your patience with me @Paul in the forums.

Okay, I feel silly asking this, but I have watched all the videos and dug as deeply as possible and I am stumped.

Basically I need to edit my page I created http://restministriessunroomcom.jamroomhosting.com/groups to other have all the groups listed... or if there is a page already made, link to it.

I am hoping I will be able to also have some modules (most popular group, most recently active group, etc.). If this is a module feature can you point me in the right direction?

Assigning Group Pages to Groups

Ning To Jamroom

ah, ok, so @paul, what did you do to fix it? I ask because in our network HERE I am just going to have groups for a certain level of membership, but not the others. It will be like $4 a month for a bunch of features. So I did have those quotas correct.

But... in Ning a lot of members would start a group and leave...and we'd been there for many years. Here I will be the manager of all groups. I need to go figure out how to assign myself that. Then I can put the quotas back the way I'd done it. Does that sound right?
