adding language strings

Design and Skin Customization

Ok, but...in what template? (since I don't have the code with the "id=100..." anyway)
....In my skins/CustomSkin/lang/en-US.php file in my server cpanel?

slate/sitebuilder question

Ning To Jamroom

I'm just wondering why the SiteBuilder is being built around the Slate skin, if it's the Ningja skin that is going to be recommended to Ning migrants- is there a reason?

Forgot how to rename cloned skin...again

Ning To Jamroom

Hmmm....ok now I have a new question.

I made a bunch of customizations to my original Ningja skin. I cloned that skin, giving it a new name NingjaLisa1. I made the Lisa1 skin 'active skin'. Now I see that the new cloned skin does not have any of my customizations at all- it's now like the Original Ningja skin was before I customized it. And the regular Ningja skin still has all my customizations.

Is that the way things are supposed to work? Why wouldn't it work the other way around, with the new named cloned skin having my customizations so that I can apply any new jr skin updates to the original Ningja skin without overiding my customizations?

I'm not getting it- what is the procedure for my applying any future Ningja skin updates, without losing my customized stuff? What am I supposed to do with the new cloned Lisa1 skin if it has none of my customizations?
Sorry if I sound dense, but it seems backwards or something?
(hope it's ok that i un-marked the "solved" on this thread until I understand the answer to my last question here)

"You can see all of your own old posts by clicking on the "244 posts" under your image in these forums."

Ah! I was looking for my old posts via the ning-to-jamroom/forum/my_posts tab...which didn't even take me to any of my posts (?). Thanks, now I know to click on the post number link under my avatar! (d'oh....)

THANKS for fixing this in the next version- it'll save everyone from having to explain it for eternity. I could not find it using various search terms in the forums...I did try!

--------------------
Edit accomplished! Yay!!! :D

Oh, I see. So then instead of my putting

I could take out the "id=100" part and just put, what?:
?

Forgot how to rename cloned skin...again

So sorry, but I could not find my old posts about this, and I have forgotten how to solve it the second time now. (ugh)

I customized my Ningja skin and then cloned it, filled in the new name in the name box with a unique name, and saved it. Made it the active skin, saved it again.
The directory shows the correct new cloned skin name, but the left skin column shows now two skins with the same original name- Ningja.
Sorry to have forgotten, but how do I change this again?

(and I envision this same thing coming up with various new people over and over- it seems like it should just put in the new name we've designated when naming the new cloned skin in the first place?)

Problems importing members

Ning To Jamroom

Hey, in that same User Accounts area- would it be easy to add a third option for "User auto login reset"? Right now the 3 choices are: log in every time, every 14 days, and Never reset.
Could we also get "every 90 days"?- that would seem reasonable to me as a 4th choice- it's not so often as to make logging in annoying for members, but it's often enough so that they are encouraged to keep track of where they store their password- but not keeping them logged in for years after they croak either. =8-* If it's a hassle don't bother, but it'd be a nice little touch if easy for you guys to add. thanks!

slate/sitebuilder question

Ning To Jamroom

Michael that is going to be SOOOOO much easier for us all! Thank you for your efforts!

@Michael: -I assume we will be able to edit the module names within that edit area as well?- like renaming the "Activity" title to say "Latest Activity" if we like, for example?
