MetaTag Browser Question


Design and Skin Customization

I am using the MetaTag Browser Tool to add custom metatags to better control how my content is displayed.

When I create a custom metatag in this module I am noticing a dropdown I have not seen before that allows you to select the specific template you want the new metatags to be applied to

This would work really well for me and allow me to control meta content much more the way I like BUT the issue is in the dropdown it only dispalys 7-8 of my custom templates.

Is there a way to make it display ALL of my custom templates- maybe a check box that says "Display All"?

Thanks!

Another Profile Centric Question & Facebook


Design and Skin Customization

Have discussed it with Brian- hoping to find a "freelancer" ( they are never free) to fix this up
To solve the video problem making the left column disappear on video pages would be a solution

Another Profile Centric Question & Facebook


Design and Skin Customization

I am really struggling to get my content to display on my facebook fan page properly- I usually am able to get it done but it involves posting and deleting it several times to FB until I get an option to select an image etc...

Another Profile Centric Question & Facebook


Design and Skin Customization

Well actually I try 2 different ways..SHARE feature and posting the URL directly to a FB page
Behavior of videos seems to be the same when sharing a video but get different behaviors when sharing images-articles etc..

I am not sure if an anchor text could be added in the facebook open graph template- something like OG:Content= anchor URL...

Just removing the left column on videos would work...I say this because awhile back I posted a video to FB using SHARE and one guy responded with "all I saw was an advertisement for gloves" and several othrs had liked his comment...gloves were an advertisement on the page and not in the video

Another Profile Centric Question & Facebook


Design and Skin Customization

I think the solution here is going to be to hide the left column when a user clicks on a video- just like the solution for making the groups open in a 12 co layout on profile pages.
If you are available fro small quick pay jobs like this pls email me derrickhand300 -yahoo
Thanks!

Another Profile Centric Question & Facebook


Design and Skin Customization

Thank you Douglas
At this point I do not want the videos to play on facebook- I want the viewer to come to my site to watch it

If you click on Any JR Video on my site it opens in the profile of the person that uploaded it- which in the case of my profile can take some work to reach

What are th setings to get thm to either open in a stand alonepage- a window or yusing some sort of anchor to get it to go directly to the video on the screen when clicked?

if you have a chance click this link from a cell phone if you have a chance

to see the behavior im talking about

My goal is "I want you to land on the video player and not on a picture of me"

Another Profile Centric Question & Facebook


Design and Skin Customization

I am thinking jr videos may also be profile centric and wondering if that is correct?

Sooner or later I have to address a problem I am having when sharing a video on facebook
When you click on the video on facebook using a mobile device it takes you to my profile page. the viewer has to scroll down past a great deal of content including my profile photo- my posting guidelines button- my stats- my about me and a great deal of other stuff just to get to the video ( which is totally crazy to me)

So my question is "are JR Videos profile Centric in that we are stuck with viewing them inside someones profile page?

Also concerning facebook- hw do we make a video icon watermark show over the video thumbnail when posted to facebook instead of just a great big image? All other videos I see on facebook have this icon in the center to indicate its a video and to start it
do we have that functionality?

Thanks

How To Move Groups From Profile Pages to Stand Alone Pages


Design and Skin Customization

Thanks-I got it and appreciate it
Just to be clear-I do not have a "100%" custom skin.
My site was imported to and originally built on Ninja- then template injection module was used to adapt it to my custom skins column layout
Every Template-if it was in Ningja is now in my "custom skin" if I had "profile_item_detail.tpl" in Ningja then I have it the same in my skin....I have to edit that template code just like everyone else with a Jamroom skin and sometimes ( often) I screw it up or break it....but its not the skins fault or that its not a "jamroom skin"...the fault is usually 99% my own.

I have learned a lot here the last few months and this is something I m "SURE" on...

Moving to my skin involved changing the column layout terms so my skin could understand it.. then it was just a matter of installing my skins css and js which makes it display all the fancy crap its capable of....with the exception of a problem with modal windows which michael solved for me ( they were too similar in names) everything else has been stuff that I tore up

Now I understand my skin does not get updates meant for Jamroom skins because its named different so I would not have received the code you sent me ( which I appreciate you sending) That's really all I was asking here..and expressing some frustration that I was not able to do something I felt should be simple

We are all here (some of us day and night) because we are obsessed with it and love it-but there are going to be frustrations along the way

Thanks again I ALWAYS appreciate it
