Forgot how to rename cloned skin...again


Ning To Jamroom

Got this added in to the next version of Developer Tools. From version 1.3.0 when you clone a skin, the ACP changes also get cloned.

slate/sitebuilder question


Ning To Jamroom

Its not being built for ning users especially. It was just 'being built'. If the ning skin was the only one to use it then the whole skin would have to wait for that system to be finished before it was useable.

Not all ning users are going to want to use the site builder (maybe they are, not sure.).

Slate was stripped down from Elastic and given some neutral colors. Seamed like a good place to start from to build a non-specific community site.

Site Builder system did get a bump up the priority list when Ning users came around though. :) Seams to like a good fit.

If you had have made the customizations to the skin files in the file system, then they would have been copied over.

The template edits via the ACP don't get copied over. They are over-rides to the skin.

I'll look into what we can do to sort that out.

slate/sitebuilder question


Ning To Jamroom

It will be out with the next skin update. Don't make the announcement until we're sure its ll good.

The beta forums are pretty silent. I'm not getting much feedback on whats broken at all. That could be good or bad, I'm not sure.

-- edit --
Yeah, you will be able to edit the names and move stuff around. The Ningja version is more complicated than the Slate version as the skin provides its own templates. Good example of their being no limits on the system though.

You can see all of your own old posts by clicking on the "244 posts" under your image in these forums.

It will take you here:
https://www.jamroom.net/forum/activity/1045/strumelia

The solution your trying to find is probably in mixed into a long thread titled "some problems" or similar with hundreds of posts. :)

anyhow, what you want to do is to open the include.php file in the skin you have created and locate the _skin_meta() function at the top of that file and change the title to what you want.

It will look similar to this:
function jrNingja_skin_meta(){
    $_tmp = array(
        'name'        => 'jrNingja',
        'title'       => 'NingJa',
        'version'     => '1.0.9',
        'developer'   => 'The Jamroom Network, ©' . strftime('%Y'),
        'description' => 'NingJa - a skin created for Ning user migrating to Jamroom',
        'license'     => 'jcl'
    );
    return $_tmp;
}

The part to change is
'title'       => 'NingJa',
Change the name to whatever you want.

Having it do it automatically is a good idea. I'll see if we cant get that added in.

Thanks.

adding language strings


Design and Skin Customization

Strumelia:
michael:
So in locations where you see:
{jrCore_lang skin="CustomSkin" id=100 default="Blogs"}
you could just use Blogs directly in the template if you wanted to.

Oh, I see. So then instead of my putting
{jrCore_lang skin="CustomSkin" id=100 default="Blogs"}

I could take out the "id=100" part and just put, what?:
{jrCore_lang skin="CustomSkin" default="Blogs"}
?

nope, instead of putting
{jrCore_lang skin="CustomSkin" id=100 default="Blogs"}
you could put
Blogs
