How Do I Modify Code - Featuring by Quota - Template Copying

Using Jamroom

I like it when the question is the title of the thread.

"How do I....."
"Can I use...."
"Can I copy template code and use it in other skins?"

It helps understand what has been solved when the thread is marked as solved and also helps understand what the request is before I enter the topic.

Try using the search function to find the answer to the next thing you think of asking and see which threads you open. Most likely it will be the ones that have titles related to what your searching for.

That would make a great thread by itself so others can locate it.

video watermarked and coversion questions

you can see what is waiting in the Queue from:
ACP -> SYSTEM CORE -> TOOLS -> QUEUE VIEWER

If your finding that backing up faster than it can clear itself then more power is needed. Or if conversion times are taking longer than you'd like them too during busy periods.

what causes save/close buttons to becomedisabled

Repair mode displays the page without the content you've added to a widget. Which means chances are high that something thats been added to a widget is the cause of the issue.

Yeah, its done.

The way to work with the files on the file system is more aligned with traditional development methods.

Traditionally in order to change the way a website looked, you would have a copy of it on your local pc, then make some changes to the file then upload it.

Jamroom (and other CMS systems) allow the admin user to get around the need for this by providing other methods to update what is displayed.

The method you should use is whichever you feel most comfortable with.

Anybody coming in from a web development background is going to feel more comfortable working with the tools they already use. Tools that allow the server files and the local files to stay in sync and provide features to allow for easy customization.

Just as an example some of those tools are:
* PhpStorm
* Dreamweaver
* Eclipse
* text editor + FTP program

If you are unfamiliar with these tools and are trying to customize the files by using the features of cpanel, I reckon sticking with the template editor is a better way to go.

If you want to learn more about the development side of things, the team uses PhpStorm.

Your probably more interested in running the community than becoming a Jamroom developer at a guess.

I know there will be bugs in this system, that's why its in beta. But I can only fix them If you can show me how to make them appear.

This type of report is really useful to me:

Design and Skin Customization


The profile pic is inside:
/skins/(your skin)/profile_header.tpl

You can put a {debug} into that template to see what you have to work with.



truncate is the name of the function to use to cut a long post off after 1000 characters.

You can see examples of it in the smarty documentation:

Make sure there are no javascript errors on the page. Any javascript error can stop all javascript from working.
