for photo titles and admin comments will i need a wipe of those?

to get the admin commebts on the right profile (83 not 1) will i needd a user wipe and will that screw with associations with other data
(honnestly if i need to start over with a blank comment wall and just let it fill up again thats fine)

will i need to wipe the photos andreimport to get titles or will create only do it
for that matter will create only add in new comments on already imported items

final unrelated question but adding a playlist by embed using the media embed thing how do i get it to autoplay
since i have music from rainbow gatherings on my profile often ppl drop by to comment then spend hours there just listening
and since thenew sites playlist wont be limited to 100 songs ill have over 12 years of recordings
and.. is there a code to make it not only autoplay but play in shuffle mode

Sorry SE - This thing called Christmas getting in the way of things

To get the photo titles you would just need to select the photo 'delete and re-import' option.
However, deleting and re-importing profiles after all the other items that have been associated with them could be dangerous. Jamroom items are associated with profiles and users with the _profile_id/_user_id variables which are created sequentially as profiles and users are created. If nothing has changed in your members archive, and you have not added any new ones by hand, re-importing them using the 'delete' option should 'theoretically' yield the same IDs for the same profile/user names so all should be ok, but I wouldn't guarantee it!!
If it was me, I would want to subsequently re-import all the other items after the profiles so that I was sure, but understand that that might be a big job on your site, so maybe re-import the members first, then see how things look.

If we have a fresher ning archive and start by checking 'delete and re-import' and start with profiles/members re-import, then if I understand correctly any test members or friend site testers we have added or who have joined our JR site since the last ning import will be deleted, correct? And that goes for content as well if we check that option for every module folder as we import our newer archive? All our 'test' posts and say videos we posted as a JR test will be deleted if that option is checked for Discussions and Videos, etc, right? Just want to know what to expect, thanks.

Correct - The database tables are 'truncated' which means that 'everything' is deleted.

i believe so but then again i think it might just delete all imported items to do a full wipe u might need to do into the database and truncate it efectively wiping it clean

after doing delete and import before i think..but amnot sure that it might not delete test accounts...cant remember 100% though cause ive created several some i deleted myself and now that i think about it ..i think 1 or 2 was deleted but ..if i remember corectly paul did truncate the database to be safe on members and a few things like discu8ssions..to do a thourough wipe
so since delete and create wasnt enough that he felt the need to wipe it at the database.. im guessing it might leage test accounts


and i realize i said the oposites about 3 times each but was just trying to think my way through the problem and give relatively educated best guess responce

actualy im prerttty sure delete and recreate lewft music i added and playlists so..im thinking its not afull database wipe

Hey Guys - Can you hold off any re-imports for the moment? I've just come across an issue with the way that the module handles media referenced in item descriptions and comment texts which could mean that they wouldn't show unless everything was re-imported again. Let me sort that first.
Thanks

No - It doesn't affect audio imports as there are no description fields or comments in the Ning music archive.

All too happy to hold off til you give the ok Paul.

--> Question for PAUL:
Also, isn't there an option besides "delete and replace" that will leave in place content that is identical both on the site and in the fresh archive and is already in place on the site?- and that that option would take far less time? And...that same option would also delete stuff that's on the site but not in the fresher archive being imported? (in effect like an incremental hard drive back up that doesn't touch stuff that is still identical on both ends)
(sorry, hope you can understand my question, Paul)

like a compare and sync
so if it was deleted off the old site (archive) it deletes iit off the new


i removed the "delete all content" checkbox when people leave so i can control whats deleted so imporetant posts and pages wouldnt be but so i can delete everything if it was a troublemaker or whatever
but then on import alot ofr stuff saif "no user matching----- found"
so those items withoit a user association didnt import

but i see what your suggesting is like a "re-sync" option wich im sure isdoable but will take a whole recoding of the importer ..well i dont mean starting over from scratch but it will take a good bit to add that functionality

i can see where its useful
but in cases where the import and designs not taking months and months and alots being deleted chances are good that very lil will be deleted on the old end and therefore resyncing probably will only be needed on sites that take a good while to set up

especialy since youd probably just do a wipe import then a quick add on the extras and in that timeframe at m,ost 1 or 2 profiles might be removed

not saying its not a good idea just wondering if its worth the effort head of other things

The 'Create only' option checks for existing imported items and skips past them if they are already imported, so repeating that import option with a newly uploaded archive will just import the new items.
Deleting JR items that are no longer in the archive is not supported.

Ah, so for my purposes it might take far less time to simply 'create only' when I next import my fresher archive. Thank you Paul! (and yes I will hold off until we hear from you that the fixes have been made)

jrNingImport V1.1.10 now in the Marketplace.
There's actually no real difference with V1.1.9 except that the 'Manage Media' tool with I thought wax no longer needed and removed a couple of versions ago is actually needed, so has been re-instated.
So carry on importing from where you left off and all should be ok.
Thanks

Wait a second- before I start a new import, I just want to be totally sure that the newest Import Tool has the fix we recently discussed:
"We only realised the other day that Ning included suspended and left members in their archive so quickly added in the options to filter them out on import."

That's now been fixed in this new V1.1.10 version of JR Importer, and so now by default the suspended members will not be installed as normal members, right Paul?

Correct. There are 4 Ning member status options - Active, Pending, Suspending and Left.
Active members get imported to their selected quota.
Pending members optionally get imported to their selected quota but with their Jamroom status also set to pending.
Suspended members optionally get imported to their selected quota but with their Jamroom status set to inactive.
Left members do not get imported.

See the jrNingImport config page to set these options up.
