I know how to clone follow me.
the question is below!
I like to make different colour skins of (Follow Me) so members can pick what colour they want for profile page.
their can choose by profile tweaks, customise in profile in settings.

The only thing i seem to only be able to change is the navigation barr colour

any help of this would be great.

You'll need to edit the profile.css of each clone to edit profile colors.

Its in the jrFollowMe/css folder.
You will need to edit it directly as at the moment its not configured to show in the ACP skin style editor.
We'll check that out.
Thanks

Be sure to clone the FM skin then edit the cloned CSS file so as not to overwrite when updating the skin.

Be sure to clear caches, or put your site into Developer Mode whilst doing this, so that caches are not used - http://absolutelyfriends.com/developer/admin/global

You are making changes to the BlueMist skin?
Your site is still configured with FollowMe as the active skin.

The problem you're gonna have is multiple css files loaded all using the same class names.

The last css loaded will be the only one used.

I had this feature built into jrMaestro. It was called Chameleon. You would need to make a smarty function that grabs a custom css file (or profile css). You'd also need a custom form field that has a list of css files in a directory. Then place that smarty function call in the profile header. That way it's the very last css file loaded.

My module had small custom css files. Also it used the same skin.

It's not easy.

Think the easy way around this would be to build into profile tweaks color tool that would let members add color to Colums not just add backgrounds.That way members can just add any color and backgrounds.

What I was trying to achieve was to create profile pages like celebrity skin with a black skin,blue skin,Red skin,Yellow skin, Etc,for profile pages.

Easy for who?

I understand what you were trying to do. Since all the skins use the same css class names the last one will be what the browser uses.

*Think the easy way around this would be Jamroom to build into profile tweaks color tool that would let members add color to Colums on profiles

not just add backgrounds.That way members can just add any color and backgrounds.*

Easier! for Members to add they own color i mean rather than Admin having to make lol, if it was via profile tweaks it could be a great module it’s has great potential.

But saying all that i would be happy just a few color skin for profile page.

We had this feature in a previous version of Jamroom and it wasn't used much as admins just saw that users were making their profile pages look garish and unreadable, to the detriment of the rest of the site. Its not been supported since Jamroom5 and this is the first time we have been asked for it since.
If you really want it, it'll have to be something custom.

Hi Franko
We have been discusion two things in this thread. To be clear, what are you asking us to quote for?
1) The means for you, as admin, to clone a skin several times and then give each cloned skin a different look by updating its CSS
2) The means for your users to update the CSS of their profile pages
Let us know.
Thanks

I Quote you said you had something like this on Jamroom 5 if you really what this let me know you would have to do some custom work!

That i would like the best as for members to do there own profile pages.

so i think that would be best in the long run.

When I said 'since Jamroom5' above I meant that this was available in JR4, or possibly JR3 - can't remember that far back!!
Please be aware that if we were to take on this work, it would be a very significant project, taking many hours in consultation, development and testing that would run into a four figure quote. Also, we have other Jamroom projects and custom work scheduled so a major project like this couldn't be done immediately.
Please advise if this is acceptable to you.
Thanks

The clone option was created to allow people to customize their own skins. It wasn't built to offer users multiple styles.

To color customise Follower Me skin the setup to do this is kinda impossible for me, the only thing that changes easy is the navigation that will change without any problem the rest is a no go…
