Usign Site Builder features instead of default item_list.tpl

Using Jamroom

Seams like your kind of mixing 2 things, Site Builder and your module Lessons.

When creating a module one of the things that a module does is to have a default display page for all of its stuff.

Eg, the gallery module decides to display its stuff like this:
http://demo.jamroom.net/jrNova/gallery

The reason that stuff is formatted in the way it is is because the modules index.tpl file found at:
/modules/jrGallery/index.tpl

chooses to display it like that. So its the MODULE that says how the modules stuff should be formatted. There are no restrictions on it.

What you seam to want to do is to not provide a default index.tpl system in the module, but rather leave that page's formatting to another group of modules, the Site Builder system.

Its a bit un-expected.

If you really want to do it this way, I would suggest adding site builder setup to the modules index.tpl page.

and add:
to the modules index.tpl file to make Site Builder control the index page.

Remember though that Site Builder doesn't work on profiles, its for building the top level content.

Using Jamroom

My guess is you've uploaded some images into the modules /img folder
/modules/jrPanels/img/ (uploaded images)

Thats not the right thing to do. Next time an update comes out all your images will disappear.

Only upload images to a cloned skins /img/ folder if you have other stuff to use. You can access any image in the cloned skins /img/ folder by using this code:

In the example above that will display the logo.png file in the /img/ folder of the currently active skin.

That way you can use all the caching, resizing and cropping features on any image you uploaded.

Using Jamroom

Thats because the url is already taken. Use a different url and you can put what you want.

your aprana module already controls that url. so you'd need to use a different url.

Could try deleting the index.tpl file from your module. That might free up the url.

Using Jamroom

Could be because of where Jamroom comes from. The others aim might have been intended for users who don't want to look at code.

I fell in love with Jamroom a few years back when I used it for a project I was doing as a freelance web developer. The way the code was structured just fit well into how I liked to program. There was a ton of stuff that the system did so I could ignore it and get on with building what I needed built.

Its a great platform for developers (me ).

Forward a few years and I got invited to join the team to help build Jamroom 5. I felt really privileged (still do ).

With Jamroom 5 the goal was to get the system stable to go into the future with mobile and a super strong base. We have that.

The part that is still pretty new is the drag-n-drop stuff. Its not been built in from the beginning or designed around non-technical users as a first priority.

We are trying though and have a good start. If you could help us by outlining where you get stuck and what you're expecting to happen, then we can put in an effort and get something together for everyone.

For the growing pains that come with that, I apologize in advance.

I love watching screencast videos of stuff going wrong so i can understand the trouble you have.

Can the update form also be added to the activity feed on home page

bump this tread on Wednesday. I'm in New Zealand right now but back in Tokyo on Wednesday. I'll setup a test structure when I get home. If you have the code where your at, that would make it easer to get set up.

now I know about it, it would be nice to work as well as the 'javascript' one works. understand where your coming from though. Thanks for sayin. If it was an easy fix that would have been nice.

Yep, thats right, everything that 'the jamroom network' makes on unlimited domains, so that includes PJ /MP and all modules. So might as well pick all the bits from everywhere and combine them in a way that works for you.
