glitch when creating "@" mentions ?

Using Jamroom

Just reporting that I applied the new Core update and now the hotlink '@ mentions' are working great on both my sites. It now no longer matters what kind of combo of upper/lower letters are used, or even whether a comma or period precedes or follows the name immediately... it all works!
Thanks so much, this is GREAT and will help site activity a lot once the members catch on and start using it more.

Yes I was thinking of doing that- copying the code from the SB page into a template. If I did that, would the template also know where to go get the SB's "uploaded' images?
Would all images used in a page template I make be just stored in my custom skin's "img" folder as they are, or would they need to be put into specific locations or sub folders within the img folder in my skin on the server?
(thank you for bearing with me on this!)

Notifications text for "forum category" - can it be made more generally understandable?

Using Jamroom

PJ, a 'new topic' in a forum category means a new discussion.
A 'new post' means a new post in an already existing discussion.
Two different things entirely.
A forum category contains multiple discussions. And each discussion contains multiple posts.

Let me understand this. I could then add say simple html into the template middle part to create a page with text and images? --> but... where on my server would I need to put the IMAGE FILES referenced in the resultant webpage? (becuase without SB, I wouldnt be able to use the SB "html editor" to add pictures, hardrules, etc...right?) With SB deactivated, I'd need to make any changes to the page by tweaking the template code, right?

How to apply the jrcore_lang strings change from Ninja update to my custom skin?

Good to have that reassurance, thanks Michael.
Marking this solved.

How to apply the jrcore_lang strings change from Ninja update to my custom skin?

Using Jamroom

So... it looks to me like that those language changes really only apply to the Ninja skin and I decided I should probably not apply them to my custom skin anyway, since I had done some custom menu and link languages changes for my own site.

I DID apply to my custom skin the OTHER Ninja updates to: tablet_core.css, header.tpl, and slidebar.css that were described in the Ninja updates... but not the language string changes. I hope that was the good thing to do... nothing seems to have blown up, in any case. =:-o

Ah, ok... so none of THOSE things require .css file changes then? That means I can make the updates to my custom skin via the ACP Compare Tool.
If that's correct, great! I'll get right on it, and thanks!

How to apply the jrcore_lang strings change from Ninja update to my custom skin?

Using Jamroom

I see in the new Ninja update:
Version 2.0.11:
- Change: Updated hardcoded text strings to jrCore_lang functions.
I have no trouble applying the OTHER new template updates in the update description (thanks for providing the template and css file names that contain changes), but this particular language core one has me stumped as to where do I go to see/copy/apply this update to my custom skin (which is a child of ninja). ?

I updated the Ninja skin my one site (siteB) and not my other (siteA)... so i could compare this specific language thing. I found the updated Ninja language tab on my updated site displays 98 items, but my non-updated site's same language tab only displays 55. (I do have SB module on my updated site but not my site A, which might explain a few of these language entries). I'm not sure if this larger number of language strings results from the update or if that has nothing to do with it.

My question is WHERE do I look to get this particular 'core lang string' update into my custom skin?
Thanks

Great question. ...Because I still haven't figured out how to do that: create templates and then get them to work etc.
I've tried twice over the past couple of years, but I can't seem to understand & follow the directions given for making/using templates and creating codes for them. Though I have tweaked my JR templates many a time to get results I want. Tweaking a previously made template is way different from creating one from scratch and creating the code for it. The directions for making a template are never such that I can understand them and make the process work. Sorry! =8-\

Steve... =8-}

p.s. I seem to be better at replacing watch batteries... right now I'm working my way through 8 really old Casio wristwatches I used to love... tiny screws and gaskets all over my desk. Mostly it's coming out successfully. Baby-G Jelly 'Whale' wristwatches... I'll be the envy of all the hipsters when I go get latte! lolol

Thanks for the explanation Michael.
Help me understand a bit more please-
if I were to connect via FTP and go look on my JR server for this SB page I just made... I would maybe find the uploaded images in the page there (where?) but I not find say the html file of that page code? (and I would NOT be able to edit the html by downloading that file and then replacing it after making changes on my own computer...instead I'd HAVE to edit the page's html only through the SB module..?) ?

I do get that the main reason for SB was/is to enable people to create their jr site without having to work with templates, css files, or ftp. If I were to have a wish, it'd be that pages one created using SB 'could' be ftp'd to the server to reside there once they were created, so their existence would no longer depend on having SB activated. To a developer such as yourself however, I'm sure that makes no sense at all. ;D
