Media Pro - Putting the latest uploaded songs on the front page
Design and Skin Customization

If its not working, the best thing to try is to revert it back to the original and write this at the top of the file you intend to change

WHERE DOES THIS COME OUT???? AM I IN THE RIGHT FILE HERE ??????

Then save and try to find that text where you're wanting to change. If you cant see that text, then you're not making edits correctly and nothing will change.

theartsherpa:.....Will both the mobile client and the desktop client direct users to the same page with the code below, and if not, how do I fix it?....
Too much thinking ahead. Do it, see what it does then ask actual questions.

There answer is: either depends on the surrounding code. Once you make the change you will know if it works or not. If it doesn't work, you need to locate the code that causes it.

Reason: You have pasted some code, but out of context. If that was all the code, then it will work fine for mobile and for desktop, but we don't know without that context.

There MAY be a wrapper that is using 
        {if jrCore_is_mobile_device()}
around the header, not sure, so try it and see. :)

I'm restructuring our Youtube channel. If you can make a list of the question you have, what you want to know but don't I can try to create a stepped structure through each question to get you leveled up.

I've tried to do that with the docs too, maybe take a look at them and list up where you get stuck and the questions that you have at that point.

Maybe start here and work through until you hit a question point then ask here in the forums:

theartsherpa:....What if we have two elephants.tpl that need to live in different places?.....
Whats the goal?

theartsherpa:.... and end up paying them to learn JR rather than write my code....
Yeah, thats a bad situation.

I've lost the point of the thread again. Feels like you're saying you're having troubles. I can sympathize that yes it is hard to get when you're learning something new and it does take time. Try keeping it simple, ask a separate question on each thing you want to know; title it with the thing you want to know so that if you saw that title in your search results you would think "Yes that's what I want" and we'll answer it.

Short precise threads specific to a topic mean others _may_ read them, so help us keep our support time costs lower ;)

theartsherpa:....And with multiple ways to get to any one solutions in JR, it gets even more complicated.......

* First guy invents some letters A, B, C, D, E.....
* Second guy puts them together into words CAT, DOG, HORSE
* Next guy adds some constructs IS, AT, BUT, DOESN'T

Pretty soon you have a language. Same thing here, You can always go back down the chain to the more primitive. Jamroom is built on structures that came before it and assembled in a way that is intended to be quicker than you would get if you started with the most primitive. Yes it takes a while to learn its structure. Yes there are other ways it could have been structured. You can learn it at whatever level you want to use it at.

Jquery or ?
Design and Skin Customization

jquery will be in both skins, its part of core.

What you need to figure out is what initalizes the behavior. It will usually be something like:
$( document ).ready(function() {
    // something in here, this happens after the page loads.
});

There is also this doc which might be the correct answer if the question is:
"How do I make the site visible to members only?"

Docs: "How do I make the site visible to Members Only"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-admin-handbook/4357/howto-make-the-site-visible-to-members-only

Seams like that may be the root question, not sure.

You can put any .tpl file in the current active skins folder and the URL will correspond to the name of the template.

eg add:
/skins/(your skin)/elephants.tpl
and it will show up at:
site.com/elephants

Some templates exist to be used as includes for {jrCore_list template="elephants.tpl"} in which case they are not MEANT to be called via their url but rather used to structure the data coming back from {jrCore_list}.

Docs: "{jrCore_list}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-developers-guide/89/jrcore-list

Docs: "Creating a page for a skin"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/skin-customization/1043/creating-a-new-page-for-a-skin

The other ways to take control of a URL are via site builder:

Docs: "What is Site Builder?"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/site-builder/2634/what-is-site-builder

And also skin related

Docs: "Altering a modules template"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-developers-guide/1051/altering-a-modules-template

That describes how to override a modules template.

The base location for the docs is here:

Docs: Table of Contents
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/contents

For your current redirect situation, you probably want this code
{if jrUser_is_logged_in()}
  {jrCore_location("`$jamroom_url`/home")}
{else}
  {jrCore_location("`$jamroom_url`/publiclanding")}
{/if}

If you're wanting an immediate redirect upon that code being seen, or if you're wanting to wrap the home icon in the top left hand corner in a clickable link, then 
{if jrUser_is_logged_in()}
  <a href="{$jamroom_url}/home">THE IMAGE HERE</a>
{else}
  <a href="{$jamroom_url}/publiclanding">THE IMAGE HERE</a>
{/if}

Quick Share Modal Window - item_share_modal.tpl
Design and Skin Customization

usually if things get no response its because whats being asked is not understood.

To help make it understood, use the title to ask the question, then use the text area to provide enough surrounding info for the viewer of the question to be able to understand it. If they can understand it then they can answer if they know the answer.

QUESTION: "Quick Share Modal Window - item_share_modal.tpl"

Its not really clear what you're asking. Its not clear which skin this is for and from the code alone there is no way to know where $template is set. Is this custom code, or default code.
