still cant use sitebuilder buttns missing etc

Using Jamroom

There is only a .container class on the full page as far as I can see (screenshot).

not on each individual widget. make sure you have the newest version of Sitebuilder installed.

If its all screwed up, probably the easiest way is to start a new skin based off of a current version then copy the wanted bits over to it on a dev site to get back in sync.

Where can I make adjustment to rotator?

Design and Skin Customization

The default rotator script for uploaded images guesses that your images are in 4:3 format.

In this location your ones aren't. so to get them looking like you want, do this:
* In your ACP go to:
ACP -> FORMS -> EDITOR IMAGE UPLOAD -> TEMPLATES -> widget_upimg_display.tpl -> MODIFY
* Change this line:
to
* Click SAVE CHANGES
* Click CANCEL (or TEMPLATES)
* Check the checkbox in the 'active' column
* Click SAVE CHANGES

Now you are over-riding the default template with your new custom one that defaults the rotator to about a 16:9 ratio which better suits your image size.

Something wrong with jrPlaylist 1.1.0

Installation and Configuration

That standalone playlist would be used to embed the player into somewhere. It would take on the dimensions of the location its embedded to.

Docs: "How to embed the playlist player in an external site"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/howto/1556/howto-embed-the-playlist-player-in-an-external-site

The image size would be coming from that items modules item_list.tpl file by default. so if its an audio file then /modules/jrAudio/templates/item_list.tpl unless its been over ridden somewhere.

Getting Custom Fields to Show

Using Jamroom

email is a little trickier to debug because the smarty debug console does not have a browser to popup into, but all the email templates are constructed via a .tpl file so you can run any template code in an email template the same way you run it in a skin template.

Docs: "{debug}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1477/debug

The email template in question is:
/modules/jrUser/templates/email_notify_signup_message.tpl

I think so you'll probably be interested in this doc:

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

The variable might be there already, but if its not you can get it with the existing info and a jrCore_list call

Docs: "{jrCore_list}"

Site Builder Image Slideshow

Using Jamroom

not really site builder per se, but you could use the Template Code widget to add in whatever the template code was that built the thing you're after.

Comparison of Forum Options?

Using Jamroom

This system you are using here is the Forum module.

It works on a users profile. If you only wanted one forum for the entire site then the best way to do it would be to create a profile for the site wide stuff.

For example, here on jamroom.net we have the 'The Jamroom Network' profile that holds all of the site wide stuff related to jamroom. The url of the forums is:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum

But since there are other developers who release their own stuff too, they each get a forum as well:
https://www.jamroom.net/ultrajam/forum
https://www.jamroom.net/b360/forum

originally this was the only forum system. Then Ning users came along and they were used to having GROUPS and group discussions. So if you wanted to allow groups, and let each group have its own forum too, then you'd go down the GROUPS module with the GROUP DISCUSSION module added too.

Not sure when you would ever want to run phpBB alongside jamroom. There is probably a use-case for it that I'm not familiar with.

why don't private notes show ordered by date?

Using Jamroom

Thanks for pointing it out, didn't know it was an issue.

why don't private notes show ordered by date?

Using Jamroom

update from the marketplace, it should be working now. its now ordered by the date the note was created. should ready properly.

Thanks for finding this bug.

Showing default page image when sharing on twitter

Using Jamroom

Its going to depend on what variables you have available. In your above example you can use that absolutely anywhere because the image is static.

But if you are looking at the top page then there is going to be no profile image selected so there would be no image URL for a profile because we are not on a profile.

So what you need to do is to figure out where that meta name is going to show at, then see what variables you have in that location.

The function to show you what variables you have to work with are found with {debug} in the template you're interested in:

Docs: "{debug}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1477/debug

Probably you're editing the sharethis template for the module I'm guessing, so put the debug in there and look at the page you're interested in.

still cant use sitebuilder buttns missing etc

Using Jamroom

The containers are no different, widgets always went into a container. I'm not understanding why you cant access sitebuilder at all.

Do you mean the buttons are not showing on your skin? Do they show on default skins?
