Hey Nate :)

I am really enjoying the flexibility of having the skin override the module templates, but I ran into a little issue trying to track down the code trail for each module's index.tpl.

After the header.tpl I think your structure is using the module's header.tpl, but... for example, dissecting the jrTags_index page there is code between the Tag module's header.tpl and the jrTags_index.tpl and I can not at all figure out where it is coming from.

<table class="page_content"></table> // I know this is the tabs, but how does it get called?
<div class="block">
     <div class="block_content">


Thanks!

I get confused myself with jrTags. I'll take a look but I can't guarantee anything.

Also, I have a few custom modules. Is there a way to override the override? ;)

Or do I need to make a xxCustom_index.tpl and add it to the skin?

Sure, enter your code in the template editor, replacing the old code.

Hey Nate,

Recently Brian helped me through a problem by explaining to me:

Quote:
The profile pages are constructed using:
profile_header.tpl
profile_item_index.tpl (this middle template changes to item/detail).
profile_footer.tpl

How are the module index pages constructed in iSkin4? Maybe I can track that pesky code down and get my custom module page to work.

Thanks :)

They are loaded video profile_item_index.tpl, profile_item_detail.tpl and profile_item_list.tpl.

The modules templates in the skin override the module templates in the modules. ie jrAudio_item_index.tpl is modules/jrAudio/templates/item_index.tpl. If you delete the templates they revert back to the default templates.

So I wonder why my custom module default index.tpl is not working? I have not created a template for it in the skin. Where would you start looking to find out what is going on?

Ok, I got it figured out. Unnecessary extra div tags in the Tags tabs.tpl at the very bottom.

And my custom module was using some js from my other skin that I neglected to add in.

Thanks for the help. :)
