First guess, the post has been put there by copy+paste from somewhere else and that character is a space or an enter on the users system.

How do I start?


Using Jamroom

Lora McMeans:
Hmmm I didn't think I could use that cause I am not "migrating". I am going to start from scratch.

BUT>>>> if I can copy the set up, that would be awesome.

No problem using any skin. Jamroom is a development platform for those who want to use it like one, so there are no real limits on how you use it. Its just a question of getting the right setup needed for it all to work well.

Eg: The Ninja skin makes the assumption that you might want to use the groups module so it has layouts prepared for when that module is active. Other skins might not make that assumption so you might need to alter them to get them working the way you want.

People using jamroom "Genosis - Family Tree Creator System" Will have different needs than those coming from Ning. Just different configurations of modules and skins in the system setup on the Jamroom core.

Using Jamroom

Lora McMeans:....jrWidget not found! fail jrMenu not found!....

That part means you have not installed the Widget module. Look for "Site Builder - Widgets" in the marketplace.

The second part is jrMenu, look for "Site Builder - Menu" in the marketplace.

Also make sure you have:
* "Editor Embeded Media"
* "Site Builder - Panels"

--edit--
You dont need slate skin as your using ninja

IMG, CSS and JS lost when updating skin


Design and Skin Customization

clone the skin and make alterations to your cloned skin.

ACP -> TOOLS -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> TOOLS -> CLONE SKIN

Make sure you have the developer tools module installed.

from there you can make any changes you like and they will not be over-written.

Changes made via the TEMPLATES tabs in the ACP shouldnt get lost when skins are updated nor should images uploaded via the IMAGES tab on the skin.

If your interested in development level customization this course could suit you:

Using Jamroom

First install Jamroom. Its the first thing to do.

So watch this video to see how thats done if you have cpanel hosting:
Easy Install Jamroom 5 CMS into cPanel server

Also pay attention to the last part where the marketplace credentials are entered. Once thats done you can use the marketplace inside your jamroom to install new modules and keep it up to date.

Heres a video on that:

index.tpl (ningja) wont save edits


Using Jamroom

Your edits arent? Im not sure I understand. Are you using the ACP to edit the templates or FTP upload? If its FTP upload and changes you make to .tpl files are not coming up, it could be that there is an active template in the ACP that is over-riding it. Check that no template is active if you want to use FTP upload method.

Need a template identified, want to customize.


Ning To Jamroom

The way I find stuff when I dont know what it is is to look at the source code for things that look unique.

That div has a class "forum_post_text" so i run a search on the codebase i have on my local pc for that and it turns up:

/modules/jrForum/templates/activity.tpl
and
/modules/jrForum/templates/item_details.tpl

I know item_details.tpl is the single one off displayer name, so paul's likely right with the activity.tpl template call.

Form Designer - Having Trouble In Video Module


Design and Skin Customization

The steps to getting a Form Designer field to show are 2 fold.

First you must CREATE the Form Designer field so the user can enter the information in the form.

Second is you must alter the templates to show that field.

Check out this doc, it covers creating Form Designer fields and displaying them.

index.tpl (ningja) wont save edits


Using Jamroom

They are working. The div is displayed on that item on dread lock site is :
<div style="margin: 10px 10px 0 10px;padding-bottom: 10px;height:245px;overflow:hidden;" class="blog-index-text">

Which is what you have. Maybe you've already fixed it.
