Hi Guys..

Which files actually update the main JR tpls for Login, forgot password, signup? Are the files in the skins templates folder or module jrUser templates folder?

Thank you!

check your skin, if it has jrUser_user_login.tpl, then thats it otherwise the one in the module.

if you've changed the .tpl file on the server by changing it then re-uploading it and then resetting the caches and it doesn't change then it could be that there is an over-ride in the ACP skins -> templates tab that's active OR there might be changes to the user modules template as an override in the ACP.

There's a few methods to make changes and sometimes making changes to a site where differnt methods have been used it can be hard to locate the source.

check
ACP -> SKINS -> (your skin) -> TEMPLATES -> the template your intereste in .tpl
ACP -> MODULES -> USERS -> USERS -> TEMPLATES -> the template your intereste in .tpl

how are you trying?

--edit--
Make sure that if you are using a local server you must be using a domain name, jamroom wont work off of 127.0.0.1/ or localhost/

you can give local sites a domain name using /etc/hosts to use a somthing.test domain.

these docs are 2 ways to make adjustments

Docs: altering a module's template
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/module-developer-guide/1051/altering-a-modules-template


Docs: Using the Template Editor
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-admin-handbook/3183/using-the-template-editor

Which you should use is most likely determined by how you like to build. If you use an IDE then you probably wont use the Template Editor.

I'm using localhost/mysite. Everything seems to be working fine but just these few tpls wont update. I've tried editing the tpl's directly and in: ACP -> SKINS -> (your skin) -> TEMPLATES ->
ACP -> MODULES -> USERS -> USERS -> TEMPLATES ->.

I'll take a look at the guides.. thank you!

make sure you go to the TEMPLATES page, check the checkbox then SAVE to activate the over-ride, then reset the caches
ACP -> MODULES -> CORE -> SYSTEM CORE -> TOOLS -> RESET CACHES.

OR you can go to the DEVELOPER module then to GLOBAL CONFIG and turn on "Run in Developer Mode" to turn caching off while you build.

If you want to use .tpl files in you skin directory for login and signup, you'll want to enable them in your ACP > Users > Users > Site Options and check the Enable Templates checkbox then click the Save Changes button. Be sure to reset caches too.

Hi Douglas,

That page does not exist in my Jamroom.

user/admin/global/section=site+options

This page does not exist

Would you like to create this page in Site Builder?

What should I do now?

Thank you,

Marla

You should be able to go to your ACP > USERS > Users > Global Config > Site Options; it is a built-in feature for the User module. If you don't see that tab under the Global Config tab, you may need to update your install. ACP > CORE > Marketplace > System Updates.

If you don't need to update, and you still are not seeing that setting, you'll want to send us your admin login to support_at_jamroom_dot_net so we can check it out.

I'm working on my laptop. I'll try to update because I'm seeing a lot of pages with this: This page does not exist. Would you like to create this page in Site Builder?
