Unable to edit migrated posts

Just came across this today where I receive this error message when attempting to edit posts which were migrated. Never attempted to edit these before so idk if it's something new or not. Here is one post URL as an example http://stockbuz2.net/admin/group_page/104/term-limits-and-the-us-constitution and another one http://stockbuz2.net/admin/group_page/104/term-limits-and-the-us-constitution Haven't checked others yet.

If unable to repair, what will be the impact of any URLs in migrated posts once the old site shuts down? JR URL structure seems so diff. Will it result in dead links?

This is because on Ning, pages are allocated to groups. However, when creating the archive that is used to import Ning content to Jamroom, Ning fail to include in the archive this association of a page to its parent group so leaving the page 'orphaned' when imported.
There is a tool in the Jamroom Ning Page module where you can allocate group pages to their parent group by hand. As admin, goto ACP=>Profile Groups=>Group Pages=>Tools=>Page Group Config
There, you can select pages and their parent group, then click on submit to re-make the association.

I love that you guys gave us the tool to put the pages back where they belong, after the Ning archiver orphaned them all. Thank you!

Thanks Paul. Yes, they were stand-alone pages (weren't in Groups) so you're saying I'll *have* to assign them to a group to make them editable? That'll be fun. There's over 300. LOL Thank again

fwiw It would be nice to be able to select "forum" in addition to stand alone page or a group. Then be able to edit the post and select a category; for organization purposes. In this particular site, we're going to do away with most Groups. While many of the posts/pages are still relevant, it's going to be difficult to restructure many of these 300 pages.

Not sure if I'm understanding you right, but Jamroom forums cannot have pages associated with them.
