Simple Custom Forms Not Working Properly?

Design and Skin Customization

I just tried to make a simple contact form...but the text area for "EMAIL ADDRESS" keeps getting left out...you can see the screenshot of the settings in the form designer and the output of those settings...I have actually added the email text area twice trying to get one to stick...and i have ran integrity check after each attempt...but still i only get a message box and no place for the sender to include their contact email address
Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks

Looking For A Sports Related Skin

Design and Skin Customization

Thanks guys...I have been looking at the skins by @N8Flex this one in particular as a starting place
http://www.jamroom.net/n8flex/networkmarket/253/maestro
I like it because of the menu ( which i cannot build) everything else I could modify but I do not know if its compatible with site builder ( which I use quite a bit still) so I am really looking for a skin that is centered on photo/video and articles.. ( no music needed) but something more than the FREE JR skins...something with a menu like the Maestro ( i like the drop down categories and images in the drop down)...I need it to work with site builder and have support for bugs...any ideas?

Looking For A Sports Related Skin

Design and Skin Customization

I am starting a webpage for my kids school sports where members can post videos and images of their kids- add schedules- add videos-include kid bios etc ...any ideas of the best skin to purchase for this?
Does anyone know of someone who has developed a site like this using JR? I am curious to know- I think if schools used it -it would be a great place to expand JR
Thanks

Cometchat setup

Using Jamroom

If you are still having issues with log in user name/password- you can click on the ccCometchat folder on your server- then select the config.php file and scroll down to where it says
user_name Cometchat
password-cometchat
and change it there to your user name and password then save it...does the same thing as using the admin panel
I have been using cometchat awhile now -started with the stand alone version and today i am installing the Jamroom module version
Both are full of bugs and headaches...had I not already purchas3ed it in the past i would not be trying to use it now-its really crap.
I have been the last 3 hours trying to add the Facebook API the Google API and the Twitter API for log in....copy/paste the credentials in at least 20 times using 3 different browsers and click update...then they disappear... finally got them to "stick" ( still not sure how) BUT they do not work...somehow they are using the url http://mysite.com and changing it to http://mysite.comhttp...I know the APIs are working fine because I use them on another site and for social sharing on this site...so its just frustrating BS you have to deal with when using COMETCHAT....EVERYTIME i try to work in it to tweak anything...it does not work. Good luck man

Question Using Item Lists ( combined)

Using Jamroom

Is there a way to use "Item Lists(Combined) to reveal the template code it generates in the same way 'Item Lists" does?

I have created a list using ITEM LISTS (COMBINED) to create a list of combined videos but I would like to see the template code it generates so I can tweak it as needed but it does not seem to reveal the template code it generates in the same way that ITEM LISTS does..

Meta Module

Using Jamroom

You can also add the html markup of your pages for Google using their Structured Data markup helper tool ( a link in your Google Webmaster Tools explains it) Just save the markup as JSON file instead of the MICRODATA ( a drop down lets use choose) then add that JSON code to the head section of the page- works great been using it around 30 days now-I think it will be great for page SEO

Looking for Help Customizing

Using Jamroom

Doubtful you will find anyone although I hope you do.
1 option that comes to mind concerning using seamless to create lists...you could switch skins to elastic or create a dummy site using it- then use site builder on that site to create the template code for ALL that stuff
If you have not seen it yet you just pretty much enter the basic info of what you want displayed and it will spit the template code out in the bottom of the editor for you...copy and paste it into your site
That part SHOULD work for you (I think)

Meta Module

Using Jamroom

You can add any of the meta tag types in there for individual pages- its handy if you dont know hiw to write the complete meta tag
If you know how to write meta tags its easier (for me) to just add all if them at once using the " add to head section" box
You Will find Share This does not always parse the correct info for FB/Twitter etc- so i keep a template of FB Meta tags on my desktop- fill in the blanks then copy/paste
Lots OF GREAT USES for both tools- i use them daily

How to copy n paste text on jamroom ?

Using Jamroom

CORRECTION- looks like tinymce is in the jrEmbed module

How to copy n paste text on jamroom ?

Using Jamroom

Just stuff I searched and read...I have not tried it thought maybe someone might want to try it and report back
The keyboard command is a nuisance but I am almost used to it now
I figure that tinymce is going to be located in the jrCore module but also have not looked
I have also read that if the mouse cursor is blinking in the text or editor box you can paste to it using the mouse ( whats happening here)...my understanding of what I have read is if you delete that part or plug in in tinymce then you will get the blinking mouse cursor in the other tinymce editors (But "my understanding" is often clouded by my lack of understanding)
