Add an image to Site Builder html box

Design and Skin Customization

Well as you can see in the vid I do shut wordwrap off but other than that I think indenting is mainly so other people can look at your code and read it like a poem-if it gets important to you you can copy/paste it into html tidy on line
Right now for the sake of hurrying a video and trying to get work done im just going with the copy/paste...but i'm not much on poetry
Browsers seem to me like they read the code without ANY indenting if you want to add it that way
just my experience but I think Google might have more accurate answers-but I just shut wordwrap off here so continuous line are not broken

You cAn also save as
.html
.css
.php
And many others as long as you select save as all file types
By default notepad is going to save it as a txt file if you forget to select all file types

Notice I select save as "all file types" in notepad after adding the .tpl extension
Thats all there is to it

Adding an RSS feed from my own site into an activity page on my own site

Let me know if you figure out how to get a rss feed off a jamroom page...I would like to know how you did it
Thanks

Adding an RSS feed from my own site into an activity page on my own site

Design and Skin Customization

Here are a couple quick examples- but there are many boxes and options there
Just add any of these to a widget or template and they would work

Keep in mind you can also use as many different feeds a you want in the same box so the box would pull the latest content from each feed and display it together

Myself- I think its better to display the latest members searately in its own box so you do not have the blank space below...then feeds that have more content -display them together in same size box

Hope this helps.



Use something like this separate for your newest members feed

Also here is a video of a workaround for my lack of template coding skills..(Please select 1080 hd in youtube settings when watching then it wont be so blurry)

https://youtu.be/LhQRFZ4QS48

On your particular content in this instance this template would not be much use- BUT if you look at my sign in box to the right in the video-that is created in a widget using a ton of html

I have the sign in box on almost every page of my site-until recently I did this by adding the html code to EVERY widget on the pages...then when I wanted to change the sign in box- I had to do it ON EVERY PAGE.

This is where the poer of the template comes in...add the code from the widget to a notepad file-give it a name and save it as a .tpl file

Upload it to the server then put it in any widget using

Now if you ever want to add/edit to this box ( maybe an advertisement) you just edit the template file an the server and save- then its automatically added to all the widgets at once.

This is really useful for a number of things besides a sign in box- maybe a form- or a slider w/advertisements that need to change from time to time...etc...

Another great thing about this is WHEN you do need to edit the temlate file on the server- just go to the server- copy the present code- then go to your page- create a empty widget somewhere....make the edits easily in site suilder ( adding images etc...what ever)...when you have it all working in the widget properly- then copy that code and repalce the code on your server with that code...

Using Site Builder WITH templates has really helped me because I get lost in the template code when I cannot see it

Have a nice day!

If you want to send me your rss feed url and the page and a link to the page I will make a quick script for you to embed it anywhere you want on your site- just to give you an idea of how it works...

Here is a video using your specific content
https://youtu.be/SYUeQyVIKwA

Because you already have the content on the page you can just use the align left or align right tabs in the editor- then add the margins

Yo can also add the mouseover text and links in the first video if you want
Hope this helps..

Is it possible to automatically display all profiles in a gallery?

Using Jamroom

I think you can add any field you want to a persons profile information using the form designer.
Examples would be like
*Country
*State or Province
*Gender
*Members who like french fries
pretty much anything you want- then use the datastore fields to call that in a search
Have not tried this yet myself but I have read in places here that it can be done

Adding an RSS feed from my own site into an activity page on my own site

Design and Skin Customization

I have run into he same thing you are experiencing when building my site- I finally hired it out and had it made for my site but it required many changes and was a real pain in the a** for everyone involved
I think the edits/files could be made into a module by someone that knows how ( not me yet)
But I create pages on my site called "Oilfield News-then I send the pages using RSS to a slider on the home page you can see here http://drillingahead.com/

The slider is located in the Panel named "Featured Oilfield News"
A quick workaround in your case is to copy the rss link from the page on your site you want to display- then go to RSSInclude.com and enter the feed into any of the output boxes there- edit it there for appearance then select the javascript option to embed in your site
I have used this for several years and continue to use it..its dependable
