Are there skin-specific admin templates still? I couldn't figure out whether or not there was a way to override it through the skin, and I didn't see any of the other skins doing that :/

So far liking jr5! but definitely not as easy to navigate through just the source alone (or could just be out of practice!) Looking forward to the docs!

/modules/jrCore/templates contains the admin templates for form fields etc.

admin.tpl is the main container for admin, uses the header footer etc from the skin dir.

form_field_elements.tpl is a crucial one as well - it is used for the majority of the fields used in the forms.

You need to look at the form php functions to get at the actual pointy ends.

Each and every template in /modules/jrCore/templates can be overridden by copying it to the active skin directory (at least that was the way it worked a few betas back).

Ahhh nice! I'll try copying over that folder then to my skin and see if that overrides it.

thanks!

Not the folder, jsut the individual templates.

I find it easier to navigate from the source than jr4, but there are places where you need to loop your brain around your feet before you will find the easier route.

Ahh wait - copy the entire templates directory? or the contents of /templates?

Thanks,

Kyle

you can over-ride anything with
/skins/(skin_name)/(module_name)_(template_name).tpl


so if you don't like
/modules/jrAudio/item_list.tpl

You can do away with it by placing a:
/skins/jrElastic/jrAudio_item_list.tpl

file.

Same with jrCore:
/skins/jrElastic/jrCore_some_template_name.tpl

a few betas back there were locations where you could just use the exact template name, because it was being checked for by the module, but then a "hold on..." moment came and the need for the module to check if the skin was over-riding it went away. (so lazy module developers didn't have to think about whether the skins were overriding them or not. )

Ahh, thanks - so if it was cp templates, could we do /skins/skin_name/jrCore_admin.tpl, for example?

right.

The location for any .tpl file provided by a module will be:
/modules/(module name)/templates/(template name).tpl

So any of those module provided templates are can be over-ridden by the skin with:
/skins/(skin name)/(module name)_(template name).tpl

Since jrCore module provides the file:
/modules/jrCore/templates/admin.tpl

/skins/skin_name/jrCore_admin.tpl would work as an over-ride.
