Import only members (Ning 3)

Hi!
My intention is only to import the members of a Ning Network 3.0. How is it possible if Ning 3 lacks the Archive function? And if it were possible to somehow, includes import profile data along with the password?
Thanks!

Hi - Welcome to Jamroom
In your Ning3 control panel there is the option to download a CSV file of all your members, their emails, location and other info. It is this file that is imported to create Jamroom profiles and users. On import, random passwords are created for members. There is then a tool to email this new password to all members along with instructions on how to login and optionally change there password.
Hope this helps
Paul

Hi Paul,
I see that the import tool has considered the issue of passwords.
Thanks for your information!

Welcome Strumelia!
I read information about Jamroom in one of your comments and decided to take a look.
It seems that Jamroom is fine, although very different interface to Ning...

... I'm looking for "cheese" elsewhere...

Hay mucho queso bueno aqui...

So glad to see you here. Once you get a bit familiar with Jamroom, I think you'll see how it is VASTLY more powerful and flexible than the abandoned 'glam-ning'. One of the biggest differences is in the incredible Support Team at work here on JR. AAA+++!

Actually, one of the advantages in importing members only from a 3.0 is that you are then free to build the Jamroom site however you like- without the constraints of needing content to fall into specific slots in a specific site structure. You will have your members, but you won't have to 'imitate' the ning site as closely. You can still use the Ningja bundle to create some familiar areas and features for the members so they won't feel completely lost, but really the world is your oyster and you can make some great fresh changes from the start!

The downside is that to start with the basics, typical value of a community (such as "Groups") have to pay.
I'm not against paying for something that is beginning to be free, but expect at least have the basic function like Groups.
Anyway, I downloaded a license and I will be tested...

I am glad that the team behind this platform is different from behind Ning. This is great for those who do not want to waste time or depend on others
Thanks!

Lorenzo, what server are you planning to install your JR platform on?

Hi Lorenzo - If you are planning on using our hosting, all Jamroom modules and skin are free.
Also, we are planning on offering a free trial period on our hosting but that is likely a few weeks away yet, so in the meantime I can set you up a Jamroom site, with access to all modules, on one of our servers for you to trial Jamroom on. Open a ticket at support[at]jamrrom[dot]net if you want me to do this.
Thanks
Paul
