Facebook group for Fürth “Kalb Housing Area”
Former residents of the US settlement reminisce
“I needed this group in my life”, schreibt eine Nutzerin, “so many memories!”: Stephanie Spindler und Marco Frömter vor einem Gebäude der ehemaligen “Nürnberg High School” in der Fürther Südstadt. © Foto: Kaisha-Cosima Spindler
FÜRTH – Here was the laundry! And since the playground! And do you remember the old Lady Emily? A Facebook group for “Kalb housing area” in the southern part of Fürth, which once housed about 4,800 Americans, found more than 600 members in no time. Most come from the United States.
Once the Americans left things were different. Like cotton candy- the blue and pink were gone, only in bland white. “I asked my mother why and she said that the Americans are gone,” says Stephanie Spindler (31). She must have been nine, she estimates, about Americans she had never really thought.
Today things are different. Spindler, who grew up in Nuremberg, moved with their two children four years ago to Fürth, in the Kalb area, by working here as an educator. She has read into the history of this district and had at some point come up with the idea of a Kalb Area Facebook page. “I wondered who the people were that once called this area home,” she writes on the website.
On December 26, the site went online, five days later, she had 500 members. “That was amazing,” says Marco Frömter (39), a friend of Stephanie Spindler. New Year’s Eve the two spent approving member requests. The laptop ran next to the New Years spread.

How to add a Gallery to Eagle Chat
You learned earlier how to create a post in Eagle Chat that can include one or several photos. If you have many photos to add, you want to insert a Gallery instead of individual photos. Some advantages to Galleries:
- Photos load as thumbnails at first, allowing faster load times
- Photos when opened, can be scrolled within the group with left/right arrows
Log in with your Member Eagle account
You’ll now see Eagle Chat available in your sidebar, click it.
At the top of the page, near center left, you should see a +New button, click it.
Fill out the post like you normally would.
When you click Add Media, upload your photos or choose from existing photos
You can now edit the gallery
Don’t forget to click the PUBLISH button!!
Voila. Go to Eagle Chat and check out the new gallery
How to Embed a Video into Eagle Chat quickly
Member Eagles can quickly embed videos using two methods. The simplest is just pasting the YouTube link into the text field of a post. Another method uses the YouTube embed wizard for more control on sizing. Here are some screenshots as to how this post was created…
How to make a quick post in Eagle Chat
Member Eagles have the ability to create new posts, like a Guest Book, into Eagle Chat. For an example I’ll show you how as I log in as one member, Abraham Martin, who posted an image on the NAA Facebook page.
Click the +New button at top
Make your Title brief but descriptive as this becomes the name of the page later
Write your text inside the body field.
If you want to add a photo, click the Add Media button
Composing the Post
Either Upload a new photo or choose one from the library if it was uploaded already
Choose the “Medium” size setting and left align if you want to place the photo at the beginning of your post and have text wrap around it.
Choose the “Large” size and either no align or left align if you want your photo to fill the column
Click Insert into post
Adding an image
Choose the “Eagle Chat” category and hit Publish
Publish to Eagle Chat
If you want to allow comments, check the allow comments box and then click Update
It is a bit more complicated than a Facebook post, but it has a lot more tools that I won’t go into just yet. Hopefully, this will be enough for folks to say a quick Hi and throw a photo up for now.
You can find the example above shown here > https://nurnbergeagles.org/bamberg-aya/
How to use the search box
Let’s say you are interested in finding any information on the NHS Track Team
You could just type in [track] into the search field and you could get too many results such as a post about a reunion committee schedule being on track.
You could get more detailed and type in [track team], but you still get too many results as it returns anything about team and track so you get football teams, committees on track, etc
Finally you search for [“track team”] and you begin to see the results you are looking for.
Members
If you are a Member Eagle, you’ll get to see more search results that are found in the Trichters and other member areas.

Searching inside of Trichter PDF files is a 2 step process. To speed up the results of your first search, Trichters are returned unopened if they contain the search parameter.
You must then open up the PDF file and search within the Trichter.

Depending on your version of Adobe Reader you can search inside the opened Trichter. (right clicking inside the PDF or Ctrl+F)
How to log in as an Eagle
Members
If you have signed up for a Member Eagle account ($20/yr) then you are able to log in to see more options and content.
Enter your Login ID (username) and password into the login widgit along the left sidebar
If successful, you’ll see the login widgit change to a welcome
If there is a problem you may see this…
Try to fill out the left side first in case you accidentally typed in the wrong password. You can use your Login ID or email in the top field and password in bottom field. Click Login
If that still doesn’t work, obtain a new password by entering your email on the right side and click Get Password. An email will be sent to you with a link asking you to create a new password.
Please note: Admins no longer have access to see your passwords as was the case in the old website. We can perform a password reset, which is the same as if you did it yourself by entering your email.
Officers
If you wish to log in as your position (Secretary, Era Rep, Founder, etc) you must log out of your personal (aMember) account first before logging in (to WordPress) through this link > https://nurnbergeagles.org/wp-admin .
Please note that you’ll know you’re logged in by seeing your position in the top right of the admin bar and not through aMember login widgit in the sidebar
Member Training – subgrouping the directory by class year
The Eagle Directory is a tabling plugin that allows for easy sorting, pagination and a great auto-filter search. Initially it sorts first by year then by last name.
The plugin does not have the functionality for subgrouping class year, but you can overcome that by searching for it. Type, for example, 1965 in the search box and (above the table, not in the sidebar) and all of the 1965 class members will show instantly.
Be aware though that this method could also grab a class member who lives at 1965 Mulholland Dr.
Member Training – changing your avatar
By default, the avatar for new accounts is the Nürnberg crest. You can change that at any time by
- At the top right corner, click “Howdy, your name”
- Under your avatar click “Manage”
- Browse to an avatar you prefer
- Click “Update”
- Change the crop handles if you need it
- Close the box with the little X
- refresh your page (F5) to see the change.
The avatar may be blurry when blown up on the profile page
Paint color 80s-90s
Anyone know when the school was painted this color?
Import Complete
Was able to field match almost all columns for each user, including passwords so that they could still use their same password on the new site.
First imported all 1000 something records and made them Found Eagles
Then reimported just the ones who have paid their 2013 Renewal and made an overwrite as Member Eagles.
Logged in as Pat Gibson to verify profile matched the old site. Success.
New Sign Up looks like this:
Rebuilding the sign up form
To import all the users from the V3 to V4 I will need to know the CSV columns used if V4 was imported and this comes from the signup form. So I will need to make the signup form in V4 match V3 with one exception, Reni has asked that the Graduation Year field be made a required field. So the signup form from V3 looks like this…
Your Name *
Your E-Mail Address *
to you at this address
Choose a Login Name (User ID) *
only contain small letters, numbers, and
the underscore ‘_’

Creation of Eagle Membership
Since we verified that we can segregate product memberships lets go ahead and create the product named Member Eagle, a paid subscription (as opposed to the free Found Eagle)
Actually, we want Member Eagles to downgrade to Found Eagles if they allow their subscription to expire, so let’s create Found Eagles first. The cost for Found Eagles will be $0 and the term will be Lifetime. Standby…
https://nurnbergeagles.org/membereagles/admin
>Products >Manage Products
See 2 products, Sample (test product, default with aMember, 1 user: test1a) and Training (created, hidden, 0 users)
Click “New Product” Add Found Eagles at $0 lifetime and displayed
Tested signup form and verified displayed https://nurnbergeagles.org/membereagles/signup/index
Now creating Member Eagle. Done $20 one year. However I want to remove the Sample product displayed including moving users from Sample to Found and protected content from Sample to Found.
One way to move users is to have users upgrade themselves. As a test I created an upgrade path from Sample to Found Eagle and had user test1a move himself. I could have also manually made the change in the Admin section >Users >Browse Users >Payments
Manually updating each user is too cumbersome if a large amount, hopefully the importing options allow me to choose.
Steve Wyatt – Class of 1992

Darby Kaserne around 1950
Cool old photo of Darby Kaserne around 1950. The buildings center left under construction are the start of the Kalb Housing area. These are across from the front of NHS – not yet built. Odd to see so much countryside around this. For a closer view of this photo go to: http://www.nbg-mil-com.de/
