John -
One thing I think would be really helpful, conceptually, would be to have a "map" of template dependencies.
For example, in the Latest Forum Posts, what is the relationship of the various template files that determine the behavior of
A) what shows up
B) how it is formatted
index.tpl has an embedded template and then there is code in index.tpl that uses that template.
But then there are three jrForum templates in the skin plus the module templates.
What's the order of precedence and inheritance rules here? Where do I go to make the changes?
Case in point in the example above - "The padding is part of the action_item_media"
This is the activity timeline and the CSS is in which file? I see that there is an index_activity.tpl file that references item_action_media and I am supposed to infer that because there is the word action in it that it refers to action.css? And then action.css doesn't even show up until you select the untagged tab ... and then action_item_media is NOT among the CSS classes that is displayed so I have to go modify it in the CSS source file which puts it outside of the skin update process.
Is there a set of rules/explanations for where to think about how to look for this stuff? I haven't found one that lays this stuff out in a way that makes sense to me.
