Skin Design Questions
Installation and Configuration
Quote:After the import will Events and the main (home page) discussion Forum appear?
Yes, they will show in the menu after import (the menu doesn't show items that don't currently exist).
Quote:I want to delete and move some of the content areas on the home page. Ning has a visual editor to do this. If Jamroom has one I have missed it completely and there are some other capabilities of Ning (and WordPress) that I don't see in Jamroom.
Jamroom and the Ningja skin does have a 'visual editor'. It is called 'Site Builder', is still in beta but is downloadable for you to try on your site. Checkout
https://www.jamroom.net/site-builder/forum for discussions on this new product and how to install it.
The alternative to re-laying out your site is to edit the skin templates directly, either via FTP or by using the ACP skin editor. If you look through the skin index.tpl file, say, you'll hopefully notice how its split into rows and columns that contain blocks of code to display the various item lists. You can cut/paste these blocks into the locations you want them, or edit them to show the item lists you actually want. Some basic html knowledge would be required to do this.
Quote:I uploaded a much larger image than the 180x150 that I see in the CSS (in Firebug). The image gets resized and squashed. I have been looking through ACP / Skins / Style and I don't see anywhere where the height and width property of the logo are set. They are not overriden when I upload an image.
Look at the skin header.tpl template file and find the 'holder' for your logo image. You may be able to alter its CSS parameters so as to accommodate you logo size and aspect.
