Design and Skin Customization

There is no type. What type of form field is it?

Usign Site Builder features instead of default item_list.tpl

Using Jamroom

not particularly clear but I'll try.

You've set the menu url to 'articles'
NAME: Articles
URL: articles

and you cant use the Site Builder features on that page. You want to know why right?

The order of priority for a URL goes:
* does the skin have any templates named articles.tpl YES = use that. NO = check modules
* are there any modules that use /articles/ as their base YES = use that. NO = Site Builder
* does a page already exist in Site Builder for /articles YES = use that. NO = Create a new Site Builder page here.

So you probably already have a skin template in your active skin articles.tpl

Yeah mate. I really do like it. My wife showed me a similar method for navigating the crazy crowded streets in Tokyo. Make the weirdest face you can and watch as the crowds that want to keep their distance part.

Jamroom.net code highlighter

Jamroom Developers

Took a look at this just now, unfortunately there isn't a great solution.

Currently we use 'smarty' mode from here:
http://codemirror.net/mode/index.html

If I change it to 'javascript' mode then it is formatted correctly, but anything that isn't javascript is just normal text, so smarty and html miss out on formatting.

If we go for 'htmlmixed' then the javascript comes out nicely and so does the HTML but the smarty is grey text. So the best option would be a 'smartymixed' option...... but....that option doesn't exist on the above page.

It does exist here though:
http://shimbamobile.com/wp-content/plugins/LayerSlider/static/codemirror/mode/smartymixed/

but.... it doesnt work as nicely as it should and doesn't fix the javascript comment issue.

So right now, I can't see a better option than what we have sorry.

Best Demo Template for Development?

Design and Skin Customization

I reckon start with jrSlate. Build the site builder system into your development process so those receiving the end product have more features.

The difference between that method and building something like ProJam is that you can package multiple uses for the same skin by adding multiple package files.

In a standard skin you build the code you want into the page templates.

In Site Builder you build a base holder container then create widgets via the Site Builder system and export that.

In each of the Widgets you can add a 'template' which will correspond to the template in the skin so you can build lists with different styles than just the default.

Or start with Elastic and put site builder into it then do that ^^. Probably the best general way to build a skin 'coz its easily customized by the end user.

The alternative is to build a skin for a specific purpose. "Music" "Video" "Photography" "???" .....

"Jamroom Lists" -- and access to the JR Glossary

Suggestions

added 'jrCore_list' and 'datastore' to the glossary

"Glossary"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/2568/glossary

Thanks.

If you have any other suggestions for the glossary, I'll get them added in.

New Tab Container

Using Jamroom

Its a new container to drop widgets into. If you think of the current boxes as containers, then a tab container is the same, but whatever you drop into them becomes a set of tabs.

So if you have 3 pieces of related content you can have the top one shown on a page with the other two as tabs that need to be clicked on.

You've probably seen similar stuff around the net. Here is a page that has a lot of tabs on it:
http://demo.jamroom.net/jrProJam/

You can see the sections:
STATS | FEEDS | ONLINE

Is one group of tabbed content.
Blogs "ALL | FEATURED | LATEST | EXCLUSIVE"

Is another example from the demo page. The tabs on that page are created via the template and skins, but TAB CONTAINERS allows a similar thing to be done with widgets.

There would be absolutely no point in putting 1 widget in a tab container. Need to put 2 or 3 to see it working.

Not sure what the question is. You shouldn't be changing any code in modules that you havent created.

If you're altering code in
- modules/jrCore/lib/media.php
- modules/jrImage/include.php

You're doing it wrong.

What are you trying to accomplish?
