Meta Tag Mix-up

Using Jamroom

I reopened this one because I just noticed there still seems to be a problem. On blog posts the OG description is not specified. The Facebook scraper gives this warning:

The problem is, it's grabbing information from the profiles "About You" sign-up question, rather than the actual blogpost.

So the question becomes, how can I use the metatag manager to force it to look in the blogpost itself to scrape a description?

If the metatag manager is not capable of that, what other solution might there be.

As a practical example, here is a blog post from someone who does a blogging ministry on my network. The attached picture shows what it's Facebook share look like - http://indiegospel.net/david-a-mcmillen/blog/3844/the-true-meaning-of-great-love

I removed the only piece of custom Javascript I had, and the problem remained.

One thing I noticed which might serve as a clue. The first time I open a post, the editor shows and it loads instantly.

Then if I reload the page, the editor doesn't show. I can reload it several times in a row and it remains missing - a plain box shows - no tools.

Then I go to another "fresh" post. Same scenario - the editor loads instantly first time, and then doesn't if the page is reloaded.

Hi Michael,

If it's slow to load, is there a point where it "times out" and stops trying? That could explain why I have it some times and not others.

I think this may be a "timing" issue, as if it's on the threshold of a good setting.

When I open my posts, the comment editor is usually missing, although it's set to show. I end up with a plain window with no editing tools.

Sometimes it does show and I am able to use it. Is here a fix?

You guys are going past my level - I'm a simple guy lol

I was lucky to get this far with it, so I'll leave it in Brian's capable hands for the next update.

The issue is known, so I'm sure the best solution will evolve. You might want to also consider putting some different views on subtabs too - like Nova does.

Maybe: By Location, Highest Rated, Calender View, etc.

Some Migrated Blogs Missing Pictures

Ning To Jamroom


OK - if there is a new process, would it be beneficial to do a re-import of my archives utilizing the new method? Or would that possibly mess things up at this late date?


There is something I need to understand about the number of files I should be seeing in the folders. Should these folders be more or less identical to the original Ning archive folder on my hard drive?

In other words, if I find a NingMedia folder with practically nothing in it, and the originating folder had hundreds of files, is the discrepancy in file numbers indicating missing files?

I'm not sure how much I can read into a folder comparison.

Does the import tool also search for referenced file attachments like PDF's, because besides images, these were common in blogs and discussions?

Some Migrated Blogs Missing Pictures

I checked the 1001-2000 blog folder and it had less files than the archive on my hard drive. So did discussions, so I am re-uploading. Haven't checked the others yet.

The question I have now, is are the Ning Media Folders on the hard drive supposed to have the same files as the Sept. 15th media folders we uploaded.

If so, there are files missing from multiple categories. Filezilla lists the number of files making it an easy check.

I was using Filezilla and I do usually watch for failed transfers. I can't be 100% sure, but I don't think it's likely I had a bad upload and didn't realize it. Certainly possible but not likely.

I seem to recall, we had to re-import some stuff after the Jamroom team figured out that groups and forums were not being handled correctly.

Didn't I misunderstand you and upload blogs again by mistake when you were looking for pages? I think I recall something along those lines.

At any rate, my Sept 15th Ning archive (on my hard drive) had the missing blog files, so there only seems to be two possibilities.

1) Either the last import was bad and some of the file transfers failed.
2) The import was successful, but some of the files went missing for an unknown reason.
