@AdminEB ------------------------------------------ you wrote: the first line of my CSV is exactly : Name,"Profile Adress","Email","Gender","Nationality","Birthday","Subscribed" ------------------------------------------ With 3 different sites I was hosting at Ning I received 3 csv files. The member data lines of course are different, but the header lines are all exactly the same. That's why I'm really wondering which way you got "Profile Adress" instead of "Profile Address" and "Birthday" instead of "Birthdate"?

Can Grou.ps help me to find a solution because I tried every thinks and no one worked !!!!! The migration module write me "Invalid file. Please try again." Can a person import for us (Administration Team) the original csv file please, because without this, We are Blocked a lot to develop our group in "Grou.ps"

Yesterday 20:45 GMT+1:
Right after posting another "blank white page" issue to http://grou.ps/groudotps/talks/1612738
I gave it a new try migrating 6 of my Ning members to Groups.

13 hours later: No error message, no success message, no members!
Why don't you simply remove the link from the admin panel to a program that seems to work like ...
---------------------
/* make-believe.php */
<?
echo "<div class=\"msg_success\">CSV file has been taken and migration process started! This may take several minutes. After completion, you will get an e-mail about it. Why don't you start enjoying your group? No worries, migration process will not be affected from any action.</div>"
?>

Z Man, 
I think that the process takes 3-4 days to complete. If nothing happen in 4 days, start worring.

You think or you know?
I've been trying to migrate another bunch of members 3 weeks ago. After 14 days of waiting I gave up.

In my case it took 3 days. I don' t know my friend, you better send a message to a moderator.

I was wrong. And I'm sorry when I sounded a little pissed yesterday. Back on the constructive path I've tried to debug what's really going on and built up another testsite (grou.ps/zytest2). Result: The same 6 members that couldn't be migrated to grou.ps/zytanien GOT migrated to grou.ps/zytest2 within less than 3 minutes!

So what's the difference between zytanien and zytest2? The only difference is: With zytanien, I migrated already 2 other test members about 4 weeks ago. And that means: In opposite to what's stated in the Ning Migration FAQ you can migrate only ONCE. There must be some kind of a "site being migrated" flag that - once set - never gets resetted.

Please programmers, have a look into this. Or change the FAQ.

Hi @Z Man,

I have checked your CSV file and there is only 1 person. Can you upload your CSV file again and pm me when you upload it? I will  be tracking your file.

Ok Ali,

I've just sent "zytanien-2010.csv with 1 member to be migrated to grou.ps/zytanien.
As before: still pending, no automatic migration.

Hi,

New here.
I am trying to migrate my network from Ning.
Still waiting for getting their link to download a copy of my content.

They already made me resend the fax 3 times, first time because the signature was not on the line, second time they claimed my fax had not reached them, now sent it a third time and waiting for what further hairsplitting they can possibly come up with.

Anyway, provided they eventually give me my contents: where do I send it for you to restore my contents on the new network I am starting here?
Do I send you the link where it can be downloaded, or do I attach the entire file (which will be several 100MBytes )?
Approximately how long will it take to get it up and running?

Thanks, Danny

@Danny VdB,

You can send the download link to me. alisukru[at]groups-inc(dot)com.
I cannot give you a fixed time because, we just got the Ning import files. Our developers are developing import tools right now. We will update you about it.

Thanks,
Ali

I have a csv of members names and email addresses, where would I import this into my grou.ps site? I can only see conversions from other platforms (NING etc), but not a flat csv importer.
