Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for migrating content items from a source user account to a target user account. A user can specify content items in the source user account to be migrated to an existing or new target user account. A new content entry including an account identifier of the target account and a pointer to the content item can be created for each migrated content item. Further, a determination can be made as to whether a sharing link to each content item exists, and if so, the content pointer of the old content entry is modified to forward or redirect to the new content entry. An active flag associated with the old content entry can be set to false or 0 to indicate that the old content entry is no longer active.

Migrating content items

A social networking system that enables a member of social networking site to search for other members whose group profiles satisfy one or more search criteria. The system further enables the member to select one or more of the members whose profile satisfies the search criteria, and enables a communication between the member and the selected members. Thus, the member may send a communication to all members whose profiles satisfy the search criteria, or to a subset of those members whose profiles satisfy the search criteria. The communication may be an e-mail, an invitation, a chat message, a private positing on a public message board, a text message or any other suitable type of communication.

System and method of facilitating communications between members of a social networking group

A social networking system enables users to join multiple user groups and create separate profiles for each group they join on the site. Each profile has a default set of user fields and a set of customized, administrator-created fields. Members of a group may create a profile when joining a particular group and may create the profile using a custom profile template generated for each group. Thus, if the same user joins a second group, they can create a new profile for the second group based on a profile template that is unique to the second group. The system may use information from the first profile to auto-populate the second profile if the second profile includes one or more of the same fields as the first profile. However, users may be able to edit the auto-populated information in the second profile to make it more specific to the second group.
