I see there are now *asterisks* either side of the images tab. Looking in the templates I cannot see a way of deleting these.

Will be be getting a Home tab in the header menu? This is most important for users.

Thank you.

Asterisks show either side of text strings when that text string hasn't yet been registered on the database.
Run the Integrity Check and they should go away.

This is most likely due to not having a language string setup for the tab... if your using the jrCore_lang function, you must have a corresponding language string in your skins/YOURSKIN/lang/en-US.php file. If you don't want to use the jrCore_lang function, just remove it and add your text only. For example:

Change this:
{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="1" default="home"}


To this:
home


If you add a line for your new language, you want to run the Integrity Check tool so the new language gets added to the database.

Hope this helps! :)

The language string is there and set at 1.

Which template do I add the code to?

If you want to add a home link to the menu, you would modify your header_menu_desktop.tpl file and add this:

<li><a href="{$jamroom_url}">{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="1" default="home"}</a></li>

where you want the link to show...

it would go after this if you want it before the Images link:

{if jrCore_module_is_active('jrGallery')}
li><a href="{$jamroom_url}/{jrCore_module_url module="jrGallery"}">{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="36" default="Images"}</a></li>
{/if}

Well that didn't work, so I am assuming the code I added wasn't added correctly.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Remove the { if } and { /if }, you don't need that part.

You've got it in there twice, but the format looks correct.
<li><a href="{$jamroom_url}/">{jrCore_lang skin=$_conf.jrCore_active_skin id="1" default="Home"}</a></li>

Should be all you need. Currently I would expect "Home" to be coming out twice with the code you have in your screenshot.

Ok, I ran the integrity chack and the asterisks around Images disappeared in the main menu links. :)

I cloned my Ningja skin and found the headermenudesktop tmeplate and i did this and saved it, and refreshed page, but am not seeing a link for HOME in my top nav bar links. What am I not doing right please?:

(oops bear with me, I can't seem to paste code into my post here...)

Did you clear your cache?

I'm so amazed! lolol

OK one more question now:

I had first cloned the Ningja skin, and while doing that, I filled it the name of the new cloned skin as: jrNingjaLisa1 then I saved it. I selected it to do the code change on, and saved it and set it as the active skin.
However, as you can see, my cloned skin is still named Ningja, which is confusing. You can see though that the cloned skin's directory shows its correct name of jrNingjaLisa1.
How do I make the skin list show the new cloned skin's name?:

Glad you got it working! :)

You can change the name of the skin in your skins/jrNingjaLisa1/include.php file.

"You can change the name of the skin in your skins/jrNingjaLisa1/include.php file."

I can't seem to find or get to that "include.php" file...where is it located? I do see where the skin tmplate files are.
Thanks for your help.

You'll have to use an FTP client to download the file, update it and re-upload the file. The file is not editable via the Templates tab.

Where is the file located though? I can't download, edit, and reload it ..if I can't find it.

Or maybe you mean it's on my server somewhere rather than found in my JR settings area?

It should be in your skins/jrNingjaLisa1 directory.

Ok, but where do I find that directory? I'm not seeing anything like a directory with php files by clicking on the various 'skin' section tabs:
