a couple issueswith the new sjkin, and with the data imports for galleries

1 profile questions are not visible when logged out some should be visible just to admins the rest evertyone and the not required ones that arent filled in shouldnt show at all (i did not try loging in as a regular user to see how they looked but i logged out abnd saw nothing

2 to the right of the profile photo/questions is a big empty space
being that many of the profile questions are typicaly about me my links what my interests are type things maybe they should go there

3 im seeing 2 scrollbars on my profile and on groups created by my profile..odly en oughnot seeing 2 on the forums wich uses the forum catagory list as a landing page

4 this is where the double names come in on the gallery the 1st 1 is the gallery title wich most if the times the username unless they were put in an album on ning then thats the album title...it seems although the image title is included in the json no titles assigned to the image (not image title atribute i mean the image pages title)each image should have its own unique title and that should be displayed there

5 1st page of gallery acts strange..the bottom couple rows drop 1 or 2 images below throwing the display off oddly see screenshot tho sometimes its only 1 not 2

groups
i still have no idea where group discussions and pages are they dont seem to be attached to the group and the group appears to be just a comment wall within my profile


@paul, can you see to it that the image title is imported with the image and a required form items added title
but the required title should not take the filename as a default wich was my biggest pain inthe ass with ning as many images got the title 87653456798765445689765.jpg

in the data below from the json
code removed....

the title should import into the required title field description into the caption (not required but recomended)

@douglass will you look into changing that gallery title to image title once the datas assigned



now notes on groups
i know groups are part of a profile like everything else but they shouldnt look like tthey are
so
hide the profile left sidebar with image hide everything from the profile menu up (including profile menu) add the discussions list above the comments ..with a pages list in a narrow column next to them

as it is now the group itself is pusheddown below the profile space with that hugeempty space to the right
and all of that should be hidden the block where the group photo and description are should be at the top
and no profile menu
another alternative if you really want to make the groups amazing and powerful...you can leave the main page as is just comments replace the profile links with the grooups discussions pages ...and a gallery specific to the group

iguess is a way the groups might have to function as 'unasigned profiles' that dont appear in the profiles listings dont show profile info connected to any owners but have thier built in duiscussions and pages and ..if possible seperate galleries that arent included in the main galleries

note i see the logic behind the empty space on profiles the gallery etc info shows up there but on the profiles..something sjould be there to fill in that space like the profile activity or something

the extra sctrollbars got to do with body,html overflow-x hidden

but ive tried adjustingthe columns and everything within them
wasted hours

the title should import into the required title field description into the caption (not required but recommended)

You know, on the archives that I developed and tested the importer with, there was no 'photo description' fields so I assumed that it wasn't a Ning option. I'll add in a test for that field and import it if its available.

Jamroom has 'galleries' which is the 'gallery_title' field. Currently during import, that field is set to the profile name so that after import each profile has one gallery with all his Ning photos in it. If it was set to the Ning photo title, he would have that number of galleries which might, on reflection, be a better option. What do you think?

well just each photo needs a title
in ning we also hasd albums of photos wich wsas like the galleries i supose but optional
all photos showed up in the main gallery regardless of being in an album or not but albums were just as way of organizing them into groups

right now though every photo in the gallery just has the name twice wich looks odd

i think maybe they should import using the title if it had to import into a separate gallery ok but then if they can create galleries to organize them and have the galery title but still have the photo title

Are you saying that there might be an [album] field in Ning photo albums?
If you have one in your archive show me that bit of the archive so that I can work it into the import.

http://www.dreadlockssite.com/photo main photo page showing titles and names
http://www.dreadlockssite.com/photo/album/listForOwner?screenName=1yuqkuhct10d7
a users albums
same users photos
http://www.dreadlockssite.com/photo/photo/listForContributor?screenName=1yuqkuhct10d7

so i guess the way to do it would be to import all into a default gallery with the image titles
then any images that have an album associated with it get copied into a second 3rd etc gallery with the album name

Show me the section of the Ning photo archive where an album is defined. At the end of the day, that is all the jrNingImport module has to work with. As I have said before, I've not seen that in any of the archives I've tested.
Thanks

does not seem to be a album feild
wich is fine but if there were an 'add to gallery' button or move to gallery that would serve the same purpose

OK - We'll have to assume for now that it doesn't get archived.
The next release of the jrNingImport module will have gallery_title = Ning photo title (or the profile name if it doesn't exist) and gallery_caption = Ning photo description.
Its then up to the user how he arranges things after that.
Thanks
