You may also have to change the way columns are handled in the code
for instance in my skin
columns are named like this
<div class="col-lg-3 BUT in JR skins you only need "col-3" and none of the sm, md lg stuff

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function


Using Jamroom

Easier for me because I am using Site Builder in this instace BUT Site Builder does not function on EVERY page- for instance when I add it to the PROFILE page there is no site builder there to help- so i will add it to the template ( which I am thinking is what you have to do everywhere?)

I don't know if this will help you but I made it up myself a few years ago because I cant quickly read code and tell where stuff goes so I type a crap load of
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX in places all over the template- then publish- here is an example

<div class="item">
    <div class="container">
        {if isset($_items)}
        {foreach from=$_items item="item"}
            {if $item@first || ($item@iteration % 4) == 1}
        <div class="row">
        {/if}
            ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
            <div class="col-lg-3{if $item@last || ($item@iteration % 4) == 0} last{/if}">
                <div class="img-profile">
                    <a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}">{jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrProfile" type="profile_image" item_id=$item._profile_id size="large" crop="portrait" class="iloutline img_scale" alt=$item.profile_name title=$item.profile_name}</a>
                </div>YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
                <div class="center mb10">
                    <a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}" class="media_title">@{$item.profile_name}</a>
                </div>
            </div>
            XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
            {if $item@last || ($item@iteration % 4) == 0}
        </div>
        {/if}
            {/foreach}
        {/if}
    </div>
</div>
Then I go look at the page I published and look for the ZZZZ-YYYYYY-XXXXXX (easy to spot) and see which one is in the place where I want the code....then go back and remove all the ZZZYYYXXX and add my html code in the spot I found

Its also how I identify if i am even in the correct template or not..
I figure everyone has a system like this...but this is how I would find where to add it on your site

It's kinda REDNECK but thats how we roll :)

Question Regarding Seamless Module Function


Using Jamroom

I have added the nav link in the header under MULTIMEDIA...VIDEOS IN THE DROP DOWN...it takes you to the page I created using the "Gear Icon" in the header that alsos you to create a page...which I did and called it "videos" ( then I removed any reference on my site to the jr default /video page- notice I call mine "video"s" to avoid conflict) then I add a 9/3 layout to the page using the panel tool...put this video code in the 9 column side and reserve the 3 column side for my sign in box...you wont need my sign in box so you can use a full 12 column layout- then adjust the video thumbnail sizes in the code to like 200px and 300px to get a more normal look...
After that ( using site builder) you can add ANY other widgets you want in the layout and use the embed tool to add "latest video" latest by youtube" latest by certain member...etc using the functions in the embed tool...how you would do this without the widgets and embed tool I do not know

heheh...no- e are not talking in shorthand...theres really notjing to do- add this code to a page and adjust it...it combines all videos from all sources into a 4 column grid layout as tall as you want it to be...it does use the seamless module...as long as seamless works W/O site Buiilder-then it should work for you
The code would have to be altered further to make it just display specific users videos on like his profile page...

well you have many options- to start make a page- call it TEST VIDEO and add this code as the template code...then you can adjust the code and play with it..
There is no ALL VIDEOS page...so you either need to make one OR use this code on your current
My Site.com/video
