Site Builder Backups

Design and Skin Customization

We see the automatic Site Builder daily backups, which are nice.
--
Does Site Builder have a way to backup on demand, i.e. "Backup Now" ?

Custom Index Page

Jamroom Developers

@michael : Yes, you are right, as usual
After going deeper into Site Builder, it may cover most of our custom page needs.

Let's close this thread, study Site Builder, and we may open future thread more specific to Site Builder

Great Support - Solved...

Custom Index Page

Jamroom Developers

So strange - we added your exact code to: jrNinja/index.tpl (custom)
Refreshed and reset cache, and activated custom template.
The "TEST123" does not show, and the location route does not execute.

Is this the default Home / Index page of Ninja skin: jrNinja/index.tpl (custom) ?

Custom Index Page

Jamroom Developers

For starters we added code above with no "IF" login - just a simple: jrCore_location
This route code was added at the top of index.tpl
Directly above this code: {jrCore_include template="header.tpl"}
Then saved and activated the custom index.tpl
--
When we goto home page, still no redirect, no custom route, just stays on default site index page. So this simple location redirect code not working.
--
Any Ideas?

Custom Index Page

Jamroom Developers

Can we create a custom page, and have it replace or route from the default site index page?
--
We do not want delete the current index page, just hide or override it, and use our custom page instead.
Prefer try NOT using a custom template (tpl) file, instead we actually want to try using the built in custom pages of JR platform. Not sure if this is possible?
--
We want to ensure that any custom pages we create, do not get wiped out after new version Ninja updates.

Ninja Skin Fix

Design and Skin Customization

RE: Ticket # : 20315
--
@michael said: "I have it fixed up for the next version of Ninja."
--
Hi : We are learning about merging code template changes via JR Forums.
However, since we are still learning, we may want to wait for code fix above to be published in next version Ninja skin update.
--
Any ETA on when the next Ninja skin fix will be published ?

Ninja Skin Upgrades

Design and Skin Customization

Thanks for all replies above. We will need time to review and study in detail...
Great Support

Ninja Skin Upgrades

Design and Skin Customization

Yes, we plan to use FTP and source version control to make template changes.
After quick study the Docs above, some questions:
--
For Example: After cloning, editing clone, then comparing to latest skin update, let's say that we see that Skin update changes need to be merged into our cloned skin:

Do we need to "manually" merge changes from the latest Skin updates into our cloned skin?

Ninja Skin Upgrades

Design and Skin Customization

RE: Ticket # 20315: @michael mentioned some fix coming soon in the next Ninja skin upgrade.
--
If we make Ninja skin template script changes, then later a new skin version is released - and we upgrade our skin, will we lose our changes?

Remove Profile Widget

Using Jamroom

Great Explanation, another very clear example where JR platform is quite versatile
--
For our purposes coding the template .tpl files directly seems our best option.
--
Will take quite some time to study, so we can close out this thread...
