Panels Skin Specfic?
Using Jamroom

I see what your saying just not sure its the right way to go. On the plus side it would bring the site builder system in-to-line with the way the traditional skins work, but it would also mean needing to re-configure your site if you changed skins.

Thinking about it like more traditional type systems like Wordpress, a skin is just a theme to the content and the content doesn't change much when you change the skin.

So I'm not sure. It is possible to do.

Pro's:
It makes it more similar to how skins work now

Con's:
exported layouts would be skin specific

I'll look into it.

Images and Galleries - Don't understand the functionality
Installation and Configuration

Strumelia:Choc- I think we can only add one image attachment per post...subsequent attachments replace your earlier ones, so you need one post per attached screenshot.

Personally, I dislike that everyone's photos have been put into 'galleries'- I can't make sense of the whole image/gallery thing as it is now. I'd prefer to just have each member's all photos in ONE plain area for their personal photo section with NO galleries/albums at all...and let the member organize or create new albums (galleries?) from their photos later after joining if they like. I liked on ning where they had a rotating slideshow of ALL members' photos showing on the main page, that admin could set to show randomly. It generated lots of clicks and interest. Then there was the usual Photos Link in the top nav strip to go see all member photos also with sorting choices. ASnd of course the member profile page to immediately see a grid of all that member's photos at once, OR click on their albums.
I am having a hard time understanding the differences in meaning between galleries/images/albums/slideshows/lightboxes and how they are organized upon import in JR. I admit it's confusing to me. How is a gallery different from an album, for example?

'album' is a term used by the audio module to refer to a group of audio files. Think "Music Album".

The comparative word used to describe groups of photos is 'gallery'. Meaning a group of photos in the same way an album is a group of songs.

Its possible to have a rotator of a list of images from all profiles, you would just need to choose the device to display them. Use the {jrCore_list ...} function to select the photos then some javascript code to display them. (Perhaps the image rotator from the jrElastic skin would work.)

(Noted that you want an image roataor widget, i'll look into it.)

If you wanted just one gallery with everything in it that would work. Call it 'Everything' or 'default' or 'general' and upload all the images into that profile.

Error message on website, can't even log in.
Using Jamroom

nellyslideguitar:Is there anyway of recovering members details,which file are they stored in ? and how do i reload them ?

All the members details are stored in the database. Usually Hosting provides take backups of your site for you. Unless you've downloaded the database anytime recently one of their backups is the best chance of not having to start again from the beginning.

Contact them and ask them to restore the latest backup version they have.

Panels Skin Specfic?
Using Jamroom

The panels are importable and exportable. I would suggest that the skin designers package a default layout with their skin.

could you help me understand what your thinking: "this would really aid skin designers using this going forward" please?

soaringeagle:...wether i use _created desc or _updated desc in order by .....

Try using numerical_asc numerical_desc

The difference is explained here:

groups not displaying right
Using Jamroom

Theres been a new check put in place. I was wrong. I though it checked for {debug} in the templates when skins were uploaded to the marketplace.

Turns out it only checked for fdebug() and debug() in .php files not {debug} in .tpl files.

A fix has been put in place to prevent it from happening in the future and now {debug} will be checked for going forward.

The marketplace template has been updated so the template with {debug} in it has been sorted out.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Look for the {debug} in the template editor. Its very unlikely to come from the default packaged skin because the skin packager checks for that and removes it when its uploaded to the marketplace.

There is a new compare system that should help compare templates coming out soon. Just needs to be checked and approved. That should help compare files that have been changed via the template editor.

In 1. make sure $row._profile_id is coming out by either using {debug} or by putting
THE PROFILE ID IS: {$row._profile_id}

It looks like the profile_id is not being respected.

--edit--
If it comes out
THE PROFILE ID IS: 19

then its correct. If it comes out
THE PROFILE ID IS:
Then the issue is the profile id is not being passed in.


--edit--
for 2. you're missing pager="true" in your call. try
{jrSeamless_list modules="jrAudio,jrSoundCloud"  order_by=$order_by template="songs_row.tpl"  pagebreak=$_conf.ZMusic_default_pagebreak page=$_post.p pager="true"}

Skin User Menu
Design and Skin Customization

The quick answer is: "That's your home profile id".

I see what your saying though. The first issue I see is page caching would need resetting each time the profile changed which would be each time you went to one of your other profiles.

I can see the issue too. When you click on the "Followers" menu in the menu item, you are taken to the list of the followers that is currently of the profile selected.

First Ideas:
1) a third level of menu that is sub "Followers" with the list of your profiles under it.
2) the same list that is currently in "Your Profiles" setup on the Followers page
3) change the name of the home profile to the currently selected one. (like you suggest)

I'll look into these options.
