The images for the toggle switches (plus and minus signs) don't display and the WYSIWYG editor won't display. Do you have Javascript disabled in your browser? Both the switches and the editor will only work with JS enabled. YL No, JS is not disabled -- and I have tried different browsers. Same resu...

I am having some problems with the admin interface for a blog on a site hosted on GoDaddy. The images for the toggle switches (plus and minus signs) don't display and the WYSIWYG editor won't display. I'm thinking the problem is probably related to paths, but have been unable to figure out what corr...

Ahhh .... brilliant! I totally missed that one and that was the problem!

Thanks so much for your help!

My guess is that your js is not specifying the root domain and is only using a relative filename, such as about.php instead of http://www.yourdomainname.com/about.php. Excellent! Thank you! That solved the problem with errant navigation and a couple of other formatting oddities. However, my Flash h...

What is your navigation code in index.tpl? I don't know what you mean by navigation code. The navigation menu is generated by a menu.js Javascript file, which is invoked prior to the content table in which the blog content appears. Here is the index.tpl (which, as I said, contains full paths rather...

Last October, Garvin and others helped me incorporate Serendipity into my site using the custom Smarty template system. Now, I have tried following the same instructions in order to incorporate Serendipity into another site and am running into a bizarre problem. All the links associated with the Jav...

Garvin & Don: Thanks a million for helping me get my blog running. You were both extremely generous with your time and expertise -- and patient with my sometimes ignorant questions. I look forward to learning more about Serendipity as I explore its many features. Garvin: you and your fellow deve...

Don: Now, now ... no need to get peevish! ;-) Thanks for the tip about the background color. That did the trick, though it would still be interesting to understand why the color showed through in Firefox but not in the other browsers. If there is a way to get all (or most, or all the major) browsers...

More layers of complication ... The problem appears to be browser-specific: it shows up in Firefox 3.5 (the browser I usually use), but not in IE7 nor in Chrome 3.0. (My apologies ... I should have checked this earlier.) So, is there a way to adjust the coding so that the blog pages will appear the ...

With a bit of experimentation, I figured out how to edit the style.css for my Handyman template and reposition the banner head and subhead text to flush left and how to apply a custom background color. However, I am still getting that weird white box and the other lighter blue background behind the ...

I just made a copy of the flash.txt file in the /serendipity directory -- problem solved! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. > About the indentation of the white box: Your CSS declares a margin: auto to > #serendipity_banner. You need to remove that margin to make it pan to the left, and...

I am hoping someone will help me with the final tweaks to get my blog running properly. Right now, the Flash header at the top of the page isn't running and there is a strange white box covering the left-hand portion of the blog header and subheader. http://www.pc-handyman.net/serendipity/ To give y...

Ah! Figured out how to get the banner image below the Flash header to show ... it was just a problem with the path in the index.tpl file.

So ... now we just need to get the Flash header to show, and clean up the problems with the blog header annd subhead.

Thanks!

Oh, we are so close !! Thanks so much! If you go to the blog page now, you will see what I mean ... http://www.pc-handyman.net/serendipity/ How do I get the Flash header at the top to show? How do I get the banner image below the Flash header to show? The title bar over the blog content area is funk...

Hi again, Garvin! I followed the instructions faithfully, but my new template doesn't work -- all I get is a blank page. When I look at the page source, it is totally blank as well. Almost all the other templates seem to work, with these two exceptions: • "blue" doesn't display correctly -...
