I think I've made a mess of my set up.


Installation and Configuration

In the very upper left, click the little icon that looks like a computer. That will be where you want to enter the info to connect to your site.

No Land for Small Words - No ifs, buts, and ors in Lowercase?


Using Jamroom

Do you mean header tags - i.e. h1, h2 etc?

Most of these are capitalized using the text-transform:capitalize CSS tag - you can remove that or turn it off if you would prefer to not capitalize.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Installation and Configuration

That is correct. Your "ACP" is the "Admin Control Panel". When you click on it you will be taken to a screen where there are lists of modules, separated by category, on your LEFT. On your RIGHT will be the results of what you click.

At the top of the column on the left click on "SKINS".

Next, click on "NingJa".

Put a checkmark in the "Set As Active Skin" and save.

That will change your skin to NingJa.

Changing what shows in the Groups Tab on profile pages


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:Yes, I know it's not currently present as a click-on option. I know it requires coding, right?

Is there a way I can make (or facilitate) this to happen somehow?

Unfortunately adding a new 'section' to a profile page is not as simple as adding something to the site skin, so without being able to run custom profile module templates it would require module modifications or a custom module to do it. Making it so you can run a "profile template" outside of a module like you can a skin template is something I have had on my todo for a long time but have not got to - i.e. right now you can do this:

yoursite.com/custom_template

and "custom_template" lines up with the "custom_template.tpl" file in your skin directory. I want to add support for:

yoursite.com/profile_name/custom_template

and it will line up with the "profile_custom_template.tpl" file in your skin directory, and that is not supported at this time, bit will be in a future release. This way it handles some of the low level profile stuff automatically for you.

Create skin templates via ACP


Design and Skin Customization

Strumelia:What about for the modules (which are not being cloned like my skin)? I currently understand that if I customize/modify a template in one of my modules and then JR issues an update to that module, I can go ahead and update the module from my ACP and it will not override or remove my template mods in that module....this is correct?

As long as you make the modifications in the "templates" section, then you're fine. If you add a template via SFTP into the modules/ModuleName/templates directory as a FILE then no - when you upgrade that template would no longer be found.

So as long as you're doing it in the templates section of the ACP you'll be good.

Hope this helps!

Changing what shows in the Groups Tab on profile pages


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:That's not really what i'm after. I would like for the Groups tab to show what groups the member belongs to, instead of showing the groups that the member created.

That would require something custom be done to support that at the profile level.

Create skin templates via ACP


Design and Skin Customization

douglas:You can't create templates via the ACP, but if you create a template, that is not a default template, updates will not overwrite your custom template because the update won't have that template.

Unfortunately this is not true if you upgrade via the Marketplace.

HOWEVER, you should only be customizing a cloned skin, which in that case nothing is ever changed via an update (since you don't get updates from the marketplace for a custom skin).

Changing what shows in the Groups Tab on profile pages


Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:On my site, I am the person creating almost all the Groups.
Thus, on almost all the member profile pages, when one clicks on their "Groups" TAB, there's nothing there. Rather uninspiring.

Is there a way I can make the Groups TAB on profile pages show what groups that member is a member of, INSTEAD of what groups they created? This would be way more meaningful and interactive, for my site anyway.

Make sure your users are in a quota that does not allow groups - then the groups tab won't show.

Let me know if that helps.
