Using Jamroom

If you are using the jrNingja or jrSlate, then you can do it how derrickhand300 outlined above:
derrickhand300:
click that little gear icon in the header...click "add menu item"....name it what you want- then in the url box below the name add the url...if you have already created the page somehow you can use the /page name in this box without including the main url...
Otherwise if you are starting with a blank page- name the url under the name whatever you want just be sure and use _ or _ in spaces...

But I'm guessing your not using either of those skins. If your not using either of those skins then you can do it via a template alteration from:
ACP -> SKINS -> YOUR SKIN -> TEMPLATES -> header_menu_desktop.tpl -> MODIFY

You will see code like this:
            {* Add in Cart link if jrFoxyCart module is installed *}
            {if jrCore_module_is_active('jrFoxyCart') && strlen($_conf.jrFoxyCart_api_key) > 0}
                <li>
                    <a href="{$_conf.jrFoxyCart_store_domain}/cart?cart=view">{jrCore_image image="cart24.png" width="24" height="24" alt="cart"}</a>
                    <span id="fc_minicart"><span id="fc_quantity"></span></span>
                </li>
            {/if}

That LI element is the menu item. The surrounding {} is an IF conditional. You dont need the conditional, just put

<li>
   <a href="{$jamroom_url}/wherever">NEW LINK HERE</a>
</li>

Were do i edit foxycart templates an how do I get it started?


Design and Skin Customization

You can alter the way foxycart tempates display. You do that on foxycart.com.

Take a look at the url
YOUR-SITE.COM/foxycart/remote_templates/checkout

As that is part of the checkout remote template found on this page:
https://admin.foxycart.com/admin.php?ThisAction=EditTemplate&template=checkout

for the structure for a remote template. That might be what your after. Hard to say without actually doing it first, then telling you how it was done.

The other way to tackle it might be by adding an alt-price via the Form Designer and send that off to Foxycart. Don't think you'd get away without having a module to listen for the event when it came back though. Again, hard to say without attempting to build it first.

Multiple forums


Ning To Jamroom

I recommend NOT trying to think what giggle may want and building for them. Build for what your users will find interesting and let the Search Engines find what you have.

Now that Giggle has Chrome they'll be using metrics like:
* "Which website did users of chrome choose after they used the search term xxxxxxxx"
* "How long did they stay there"

So using the URL to try to trick Giggle ( are we using that term because we dont want them to find us? :) ) into thinking your content is more relevant than it really is, is a bad plan.

Using Jamroom

Core icons can be over-ridden by the skin.

If you want to over-ride:
/modules/jrCore/img/icons_black/arrow-right.png

Then add it to your skin:
/skins/(YOUR SKIN)/img/icons_black/arrow-right.png

And change it to whatever you like.

Ad System


Suggestions

Could you draw us some pictures as to how you think it should work? I find design to be the hardest part of building a module.

Building this module:
* make decisions about how the module should work
* design the interface
* build the code
* release the module
* be told it doesn't work properly
* go back to step 1 and start again.
;)

First thoughts are:
* Network like google's adsense/adwords so that users can turn on the module and tap into an already existing network of adverts.
* OR single site advert system where members of the system can purchase adverts freely and upload their own so admin doesn't have to do anything
* OR a way for admin to put some rotating banners on their site and track the clicks.

--edit--
as for what's more important than a way to monetize getting rid of the visitors to your site, I would say finding ways to keep the customers ON your site is more important.

Site Builder modules - step by step guide to getting started


Using Jamroom

researchcooperative:....I am in the standard jrElastic skin....
You need to use a skin that is Site Builder ready. Try jrSlate.

We're working on making it work for everywhere, but its not there yet.

I see your in Kyoto. Next time your up in Tokyo, come by my store and I can answer all your questions if you like. I'm in Nakano-ku.

Using Jamroom

a "Menu Tab"? could you describe how your adding the "Menu Tab" because it could have multiple meanings and I'm not sure which one your asking about.
