Meta Tag Mix-up
Using Jamroom

I just pushed updates to the Profile Forum and ShareThis modules that fixes it up. The new event trigger in ShareThis can now be used to "override" what ShareThis comes up with so we can customize it for each module.

Hope this helps!

Ningja skin update
Installation and Configuration

thechocolatelife:@Strumelia:

So far, I have made all my changes to the default Ningja skin. I plan to clone it before updating. I am assuming that the update will overwrite the default skin - .tpl and .css, and henceforth all changes will be made in the clone skin.

Yes?

Yes - if you clone it BEFORE updating, your changes will be in the clone.

Genosis Query
Genosis

I'm not able to load your site from here - I get "server not found" - is DNS setup properly on your site?

Thanks!

Ceri Shaw:Having checked that the site is in public mode and logged out...I find that I cannot access either of my existing trees. Is there some way I can remedy this? I want to be able to invite potential new members to browse the existing entries. Can't work out how?

Did you set the trees to be "researcher only"? Log in as the master admin, go to Trees -> Tree Browser, click on Modify next to your trees and make sure "Researcher Only" is NOT checked. Also make sure you have selected one of the trees to be the "default" tree.

Hope this helps!

Events - Adding Multiple Dates
Suggestions

AndyF:@brian Thanks! Worked fine for me in the item_detail.tpl but couldn't get it to work correctly in the item_list.tpl. Don't know if I'm putting the code in the correct spot.

paste what you changed between [ code ] tags here - i.e.

[ code ]
your changes
[ /code ]

but don't put spaces before/after code and /code

Events - Adding Multiple Dates
Suggestions

Strumelia:I'm on Ninja skin and bundle....should I go through the above steps to do this as well?
Seems to me there are tons of events that typically include a date range...festivals, music camps, programs or exhibits....
Why limit Events to one day by default?

I think you'll find that unless your site specializes in multi day events, that 99% of your events will be single day (or less), and the users can always add an END DATE to the description.

My recommendation would be to WAIT until you have users asking you for it.

Genosis Query
Genosis

Ceri Shaw:Yes that helps :) I was wondering though....where do I go to fiddle with the main menu. There are some things I would like to add e.g. a splash page with directions etc for using the site.....not sure how I would do this.

All the templates are going to be in the Genosis Family skin (ACP -> Skins -> Genosis Family -> Templates). The "index" is called index.tpl, etc.

The "splash" screen that you see if you have the site in Private mode, is accessible in the templates tab of the Genosis Core module (since it handles that function).

Hope this helps!

Yep - I know what you're talking about, not sure why I didn't see it locally but did see it here on Jamroom.net.

I've just pushed an updated version here to Jamroom.net to test it out - if you view source you'll see the updated OG tags here.

Ningja skin update
Installation and Configuration

I've got a to-do to get a good document on this, as this seems to be confusing for a lot of users. I'll try to get that done (or an existing one updated).

Share This is going to need a small update for it to be able to work with the Forum, since the "ID" of the forum post comes in at a slightly different location than the "normal" detail page, so I'm adding a new event listener and will have an update out shortly.
