#1) I download the /modules and /skins folders. built into PhpStorm is an integration with GIT which is a revision control system. Before I download the /modules and /skins folders I go into ACP -> MODULES -> DEVELOPER -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> TOOLS -> REBASE MODULES (and REBASE SKINS)

That takes all of the:
/modules/jrAudio-version-1.1.1
/modules/jrAudio-version-1.1.2
/modules/jrAudio-version-1.1.3
and deletes all but the currently in use version and puts that on:
/modules/jrAudio

So when I go to download it it downloads over the top of my local copy of /modules/jrAudio then GIT tells me that "you have changes to these files....." so I can see whats changed between my previous version and this version.

If you found that the piece of HTML you wanted to change was in the /templates folder of one of the modules but you wanted to change it, you'd use this method:

Docs: "Altering a Modules Template"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/module-developer-guide/1051/altering-a-modules-template#override-a-modules-template

and copy the file to your skin, then make the alterations.

2) No. The template names are injected into the HTML when the page is displayed, if you download your skin you would not find that code anywhere.

The issue is you have a space in your id. Copy the settings from your other site which is working.

I can see the buttons on your sites page.

I needed to click the ACCEPT POLICY screen before I could see them though.

For me thats my IDE. I use PhpStorm. Its like a text editor that understands php code so can provide helpful highlighting and tips. It also connects via SFTP to my server so when using it it feels like im adjusting the code on the server directly.

It has a built-in "Search and replace" function that is able to scan over all of the code to locate something.

In reality there is one copy of the code on the server, and another on my local pc but because they are kept in sync with each other seaching on my local copy is the same as searching on the server.

PhpStorm is overkill for just doing tweaks here and there, but there are some free editors that are similar.

go back to the beginning and try it all again. Take careful note wherever you need to copy and paste things that there are no spaces around keys. Sometimes when copy+pasting the browser will try to be helpful by adding a capitalization or spaces.

If your key is '123456' and you paste in it with a space or a capitalization that would break things. ' 123456' would fail.

I would turn it off. Its a development tool to help you locate something you can't find. Normally I would use that as the last thing to turn on when I really cant figure out where something is.

Other methods I use are:
#1) grab the class from the thing im looking for and do a search on that over the codebase, something like is pretty unique and there most likely wont be more than a few found over the whole code base, so doing a search for that first means I don't even have to turn on the template names in source.

#2) understand the structure of things, I know that screen is a profile screen, and I know that section is in the side bar, so I'd go look in the skin for a template called profile_header.tpl and see if it contained anything similar to profile_sidebar.tpl. Then go look down that code until I located the FOLLOWERS section and read the code to see where that lead me to. I'd eventually get to where I wanted to change.

Then the issue is most likely with your settings on the Share This side of things. Which settings have you chosen?
