forum catagory list topic counts incorect

fwiw, I do not have this issue in Ningja, mine are all showing their topic numbers accurately in the forum categories list. Maybe that helps narrow the issue down. (however I don't have a main page module for latest Forum discussions).

My Developer Tools skin cloner is not working right

Ning To Jamroom

Ok, so naming the cloned skin "mdNingLisa" or "mdLisa1" works. And both now appear in the left side column as available choices "NingLisa" and "Lisa1".

But the skin names "mdNingjaLisa" or "jrNingjaLisa" or "NingjaLisa1" don't work.
Wish I knew why. What's the 'formula'? Where would one find out about these naming tricks, so others won't all be making my same mistakes when naming cloned skins?

Clicking on the "?" help tip gives me only this instruction: "Enter the name you would like to save this new skin as. NOTE: Only letters, numbers and underscores are allowed in the name."

So I have a working clone now...but it's not identical, it's missing various customizations from my parent skin. My custom top navbar links are there, so is my overall page background color... but my top logo image is back to the generic JR logo, and the header bar lost my custom color and the color/size of the link text, and the module titles have all reverted back to the original Ningja defaults.

edit- I take that back- in the new clones the top nav links are not all there- missing some and they are ordered and named as they were previously, not as i customized them.
Thanks for your help Michael- I'm off to bed now, will check in here again tomorrow.

My Developer Tools skin cloner is not working right

Ning To Jamroom

Ok Michael-
I did all those things a third time....caches, integ check, no red lights in System check. Then I deleted the troublesome cloned skin and made a new clone, did all those things again, same result. My cloned skins are not functioning.
That said, before I re-loaded the Developer Tool module as you told me to do, I could make a cloned skin and it would at least load, though it had none of the modifications of its parent skin, instead reverting back to the original pristine Ningja. But now I'm apparently missing a style sheet altogether?

Names:
Original (parent) skin same as you guys named it: Ningja (but I've made modifications to it over the past several weeks, so it's now customized)
First cloned skin I named: jrNingjaLisa1
Then I deleted that one and tried a new clone without the "jr" in the name, named: NingjaLisa1
That's the one there now and doesn't work for me either.
I've now re-activated my (customized) Ningja skin, which seems to work fine.

I will do the cache/integrity a third time. Be right back.

Forgot how to rename cloned skin...again

Ning To Jamroom


Thanks Michael- I did that as a matter of course and it didn't help. De-activated, reactivated, cleared cache, integrity check. Still wasn't working right. i could try it again a third time if you think i should.

But I'll now be posting about this in my new thread on my cloned skin issue instead of in this thread. Thanks...

I'm starting a new thread on this since the other thread is getting too ...involved.

I just reloaded the 1.3.0 Dev Tools module successfully, as instructed. Then I cloned a new skin off of my nice customized Ningja skin and gave it a new name, with "Lisa1" in the title.
Activated the cloned skin and I get... see screenshot I've attached.
I went back to my customized Ningja skin and all was well again, cleared cahches, integ check etc then activated the new cloned skin and again the same result. I've left the new cloned skin there in case you need to examine it.

@JR Team- help please?

@Michael --> the Developer Tools update is not working for me. I can't clone any skin now and have it be functional. Something's not right- thanks for looking into this. I'm ok for the moment as I was able to get my customized Ningja skin back activated again, but the cloned skin is not functional, though I left it there ("Lisa1" skin) for you to look at if you need to. Thanks!

--> Michael, I've started a new thread on my problem, please reply there instead. thanks!

(note- the new cloned skin does not show up in the left side column of skin names, but it does show up inthe little drop drown menu. That's new too since the update. The good news is that the new clone did retain its name I gave it...lol)
