I tried to change the tags/code in the video model on the home page using site builder, hoping to change the amount of videos displayed on the site home page; but after I clicked on "view change" the site would not open. Is there a way I can reverse this active and retrieve the home page?
I still currently have access to the ACP area, and done the normal resets and checks, but to no avail.

SORTED! I found the necessary Back Up to import ("index").

So my question now is, how do I make more video links "visible" on the Home page video module?

What type of widget is it? Item List? Template Code? Let me know so that I can advise how to show more videos.
What exactly did you do that broke the page? I ask because Site Builder does error checking on saving pages so if you have found a 'corner case' we can maybe get that fixed up.
Thanks

Not sure how widgets are classified... but it appears to be listed as a Template Code widget.
It is configured for "Latest Videos".

I added a few more of these stings*(image) thinking it would show more videos
but obviously not.

Yes, the widget types are listed on the left after opening a widget for editing.
So, it looks like you tried to list the template code here but its html content has been stripped. Do it again but wrap the code in [ c o d e ] [ / c o d e ] tags (without the spaces).

I must say I am a little reluctant to do that; the reason being is that I am not familiar with this coding (I'm more familiar with html and CSS). I'm adding another image just to clarify.

IMAGE: are you saying to copy and paste the string indicated but add the code tags before and after?
And do I do this for each addition string (say I add 4 of the same), or just include the code tags for the whole block, rather than for each string?

Use the BBCode Help button below the textarea, next to the Attach File button, to see how to add code to a forum post. It is really simple.

Hope this helps!

That looks like default template code. Somewhere near the bottom of it will be the smarty call -

{jrSeamless_list . . . }

In that call will be parameters 'limit' or 'pagebreak'. Its the value assigned to one of those parameters that defines the number of video items shown, so just edit that to change things.
Alternatively, send us your site details and admin login and we'll check it out for you.
Thanks

Actually I tried changing that before I tried the other code change.
I changed it from "Limit=5" to "Limit=10", but it didn't change the number of visible videos.
I'm wondering if it needs a scroll bar, which it doesn't have.

Made the widget height greater and managed to add a scroll bar!
Worked it out by trial and error.

Check your version too, if its 2.0.3 and you're not using the beta jr6.1 there is an issue with site builder lately.
