Working on "look & feel" & eager for suggestions.


Ning To Jamroom

Tat, I had issues with the Tag Cloud in my home page layout. It needs a wide space to display properly and I was trying to put it in a column.

I've used Site Builder to override NingJa pages and adjust the main menu. It takes some adjusting to. Read the documentation and other posts in the Support Forum. Your original NingJa pages will not be lost, just hidden by the Site Builder pages, which you can delete at any time to reveal the original page. With my home page, I created a new URL first to work on it and to be able to look back and forth between the NingJa home page and the one I was creating. I only changed it to the Home position when I was pleased enough with what I'd created.

Hi Tat. Cloning the NingJa skin before making changes... ah! I should have thought of that! Smart!

And Paul, I should have asked about bringing over the new content that's been added to the Ning site while I've been setting up here. There's not much and I'm asking users to re-post it themselves as a way of acquainting themselves with the new site... but I'll keep this in mind as an option. Thanks.

Nervous about re-sizing images


Using Jamroom

That was it! Thanks Michael. And the test re-size looks good. ;-)

Many thanks to Strumelia for bringing image-resize to my awareness!

In the meantime, my whole server is running very slow... so maybe something else is going on or maybe I'm trying to move through steps too quickly.

Nervous about re-sizing images


Using Jamroom

Running into some difficulty. I installed the Hosting Transfer module on my main site. I increased my server to 8GB. I created a new domain, sbtestcom.jamroomhosting.com. (I don't own the domain sb-test.com, but I don't think that matters as I'm not going to set up remote DNS, just using this for my own backend tests on the Jamroom server. screenshot 1) I copied my access key from the Hosting Transfer Global Config. I copied my jamroom SFTP password from the server settings. And I tried to start import. But I keep getting an error. Unable to login to SFTP (screenshot 2). Tried with both stitchingbuddhas.com and stitchingbuddhascom.jamroomhosting.com in the existing Jamroom URL field. What am I missing?

paul:
You can create another (dummy) domain on your Jamroom server and then use the tools available to you in your Hosting Control Panel ( https://www.jamroom.net/lesrinchen/hosting/dashboard) to copy the existing site to the new one, BUT as you are currently using 3GB of your 4GB server this won't work unless you increase the server to 8GB say.

Could I increase my server for just a month to go through this process, then drop back down when I'm confident my image sizes are okay?

If I do this, I'd create a dummy domain on the server, then use the Import a site button to copy my existing site over, is that right? Then I could resize my images and look back and forth between the two to make sure the quality's not too far reduced.

Yes, peace of mind is important, and the process helped me to understand the system a little better. Every little bit counts! Thanks.

I deleted that timeline entry and a few others, and the error seems to have stopped. I'll check again in a few hours just to be sure. But so far, it looks good. THANKS for locating that. There's no way I ever would have found it!
