Problems importing members

Hi,

Looking at Jamroom as an alternative to ning 2 for our clients 13,000 member site.

We've got all the ning backup files but when we try to import the members we get the following message :-

Alternate JSON decode success - found 0 valid entries

No members are created.

Any ideas ?

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave - Welcome to Jamroom
We've found that Ning archive json files are often corrupt and don't immediately decode back into an array. The import script will try and fix any known error types in the json files so that it can decode successfully, but it sounds like your json file may have a 'new to us' Ning error in it.
Can you email your Jamroom site, its admin and FTP logins to support[at]jamroom[dot]net so that we can take a look and hopefully get it working for you?
Thanks

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately I've got the site running on my local machine whilst we evaluate it

I could make the json file available to you but I'll have to have a word with the powers that be first to make sure I'm OK to do that. (Data protection stuff).

Cheers

OK - If you can get the ning-members-local.json file to me somehow I'll take a look at it. How big is the file? If its too big to email put it somewhere I can download it, or use mailbigfile.com to paul[at]jamroom[dot]net

Hi Paul,

I've had a poke around the json file and I've found another JSON 'anomaly' which is the following :-

}]{ which should be },{

so I added :- $a = str_replace('}]{', '},{', $a)

into the jrNingImport_parse_json function and I successfully imported 13,500 profiles !

So I've got the user profiles and profile blogs imported OK.

To get the rest of the NIng network imported do I need to purchase the Ning Bundle ?

Cheers

Thanks Dave - I'll get that one added into the script as well (wonder how many more there will be!!).

Glad the import now went ok - I think 13,500 Ning profiles is a record so far ;-)

Yes, you'll need the Ning bundle to import the rest. Note that the bundle also includes the jrComment module so when you have that installed you might want to import the profiles again so as to pick up their comments.
Let us know how it goes and if you need any more help.

Hi,
I've got all the modules installed now but when we try to import the Profile forum it gives us the following:-

Processing 9843 discussion items with 77426 comments
Importing selected Ning items

but then nothing else happens.

I've used the model notice to output some messages but it does not appear to be looping round the array.

Help !!!

Cheers

Not sure. Is this on a server where I can take a look yet?
If not, can you get your ning-discussions-local.json file to me somehow so that I can try it here?

Am I correct in thinking he will need also the JR "Images Galleries" module in order to import and preserve the ning members' photos and photo albums? Or do the member photos all get imported fine without that added module? (it's not in the Ning Bundle)

I think this might have really been an over site on our part by not including the Galleries module in the bundle - not sure why we originally did not include it.

I'm going to add it to the bundle at this time - if anyone has already purchased the Image Galleries module previously (while it was not part of the bundle) contact us and we can give you another module for free.

Thanks!

Hi,

All the other imports are working.

Bit more digging shows it's getting stuck at this point :-

$cat = jrCore_db_escape($category);
$req = "INSERT INTO {$tbl} (cat_profile_id, cat_title, cat_title_url, cat_order) VALUES ('{$pid}', '{$cat}', '{$url}', '{$ord}')";
$cid = jrCore_db_query($req, 'INSERT_ID');

and doesn't get past it.

Values it is trying to insert are : '1', 'European Parks & Touring', 'european-parks-touring', '0'

I can get it up on a test server but I'm out of the office tomorrow. Need to configure the server for PHP as well. Ruby on Rails only at the moment.

Cheers

There's nothing wrong with those values, so it should be working - do you have the Profile Forum module installed on your site?

Hope this helps!

I believe we've got the import profile set up but I could be wrong !!

I've got it all copying up to our test server so hopefully by tomorrow (94GB to ftp up !) It'll be up and running.

We'll let you have the details once it's up and running.

Hi Paul,

I've now got everything imported.

Just a few things to get sorted out now :-

- The site needs to be locked down ie a user has to login/register before they can see anything.

- In the Forum the topic counts seem to be wrong. There are some categories that saying there are '0 topics' but there are topics in them !

I'm sure there will be more questions I will need to ask - going to have a go at getting it looking similar to the existing ning site.

I'll create you an account Paul so you can login and have a poke around if you need to. I'll email you the details seperatly.

Cheers

That's great. Yes, let me FTP and Admin access if you need me to check any issues out. Email to support[at]jamroom[dot]net

When you say 'lock down', there's an option in Core=>Global for 'maintenance mode' which will only allow admin access.
Or are you wanting to make the entire site inaccessible unless logged in?

Have got the logins and see the forum topic count issue. Will check it out and let you know.

To make the entire site inaccessible unless logged in might be as simple as wrapping templates in -

{if jrUser_is_logged_in()}
    // Template code here
{else}
    // "You need to be logged in to see this page" code
{/if}

with the exception, presumably, of the index.tpl which will be a login form.

If this is an option that Ning provides (make your entire site private), then the best way for us to handle this would be via a small custom module.

Is that an option Ning offers or something you customized yourself?

Thanks!

It's an option Ning provide.

Here's the option's they give :-

Select the privacy options you want for your Ning Network.

Public
Select Public to make your network visible to everyone. Anyone can sign up to become a member. What can visitors see?
Everything
Just the Main Page

Private
Select Private to make your network visible to members only. Who can sign up to become a member?
Anyone
Only Invited People

A module would be great !

So there are sub-sections? -

Public

--> Just the main page
Private
--> Anyone
--> Only invited people

How do the invites work? By email with a code or by admin validation of signups?

The only bit we use is the Private --> Anyone

ie Anyone can sign up and view the site.

Never used the only invited people bit but I think it is with a code.

i never liked nor recomended ity as the entire sites hidden except for thesignup page this virtualy eliminates all trafic entirely and the only way ppl get to see your site is by your members spamming thier emails
it (ning sites) has a invite link that will invite by email and can search your various email accounts for contacts to send invites to

i much rather have people come to my site that want to be there cause of the value of the info provided

The client who's site this is for has their reasons for keeping it behind closed doors. They are not really interested in 'passing trade' as the users are all customers or prospective customers who've come from their public facing site.

ill always keep mine public
but
there were 2 groups i had that were private

in a future release can it have more flexibility as in making certain pages profiles groups forums or even forum catagories private

i guess what im asking is if a 'privacy options' module can be developed to set individual privacy options to virtualy any content or site section

there are 2 groups that id want the group itself to be visible but its contents hidden and joins need aproval

Discussion groups can already be made private. A forum can be made private - just put it on a "private" profile. The profile forum is already a "heavy" hitter (in regards to DB use) so adding more features at the category level is probably not a good idea.

and now that were off ning its not even as necessary on them.. well the 1 was a 'relationship support" group that was private just so ppl can talk safely without risk of being spied on by the ppl they are having issues with

but it hasnt gotten that much use recently so it might not matter

Yeah that's not how you would do it - you would just sort by _updated desc on the forum or discussions - that would sort them by the "latest update". An action is only ever created when something is CHANGED - i.e. something new is created or updated, so sorting on _updated is the same as saying "sort by last activity".

Hope this helps!

speaking of wich i have a freind coming over this weekend or next her dads a famous musician and shhes an it specialist (and paralegal and vet tech and all around genius) but her boss at her it job is her employee at her own company wich is a music production biz
and they have built thier own site that sounds simular in function to jr ie bands profiles can have thier own domains but still fall under the production companies "umbrella" site

thier entire company is going to be helping out on my site as well as upgrading my dating site ( dating.dreadlockssite.com wich is skadate based and an extreme pain in the ass to upgrade and the supports rediculouss)
so point being im hoping when they look over jr they consider converting to a jr site too
shes got a music based ning too
but she works insane hours like 8 am often till 10 pm to 2 am and has lupus and cancer and now ontop of that they think even ms like symptoms so even though shes like a superwoman shes not had time to pay much attention to her ning site lately

Hey, in that same User Accounts area- would it be easy to add a third option for "User auto login reset"? Right now the 3 choices are: log in every time, every 14 days, and Never reset.
Could we also get "every 90 days"?- that would seem reasonable to me as a 4th choice- it's not so often as to make logging in annoying for members, but it's often enough so that they are encouraged to keep track of where they store their password- but not keeping them logged in for years after they croak either. =8-* If it's a hassle don't bother, but it'd be a nice little touch if easy for you guys to add. thanks!

One thing that is not clear from the config help (and I will get it fixed up) is that the 14 days only expires a user's login if they don't visit the site AT ALL for 14 days, so the need for a longer setting length may not be needed.

Hope this helps!

ok i understand Brian. I still think an option for 90 days is good to add- since the difference between 14 days and 'forever' is awfully huge. Plenty of folks go on trips or vacations for 14 days- it's not very long. I would def set my network for the 90 day option, to give people a nice break from annoyances, but not keep long departed folks logged in forever. None of these settings is actually 'needed'- one could sign in every time they visit- the whole idea is about making it easier on people...less annoying to keep signing in too often. Thanks for considering it, it would be nice especially for all my older members who take life at a slower pace.

i think your misunderstanding., unless i am wich is possible they dont stay logged in all that time i think the 14 days is how long the 'remember me' saved login lasts after wich it needs to be re-entered

i think anyway

Yes - it's for the auto login cookie - if they don't visit the site for 2 weeks they will need to re-login when they return.

We'll look at getting some additional options in.

Hope this helps!

yea since thats all it is i see no real reason why it needs to expire
soooo many members forget thier passwords and contact me to help them login if the auto login never expired that would really reduce that
plus some people do disapear for a year or more and its just nice if its easy to log back in when they come back

Yes I mean the auto login. But yes like I said I'd like to see at least a 90 day option- or 'something' that's in between 14 days and eternity (!). lol
