Sorry, I could not tell which version it was, and (at least some of) the files said they were part of version 0.98, so that is what I went with.....

I'll update to the current version and let you know.

I have S9y 0.98 installed with PHP 5.5.28. On this page, when I click a story, it takes me back to the current page: http://www.gravleyenterprises.com/blog/index.php?/categories/9-People-Places . I know this is an old version and I need to update to the newest, but I am concerned if jumping so many ...

I put a link up earlier with the contents of header.tpl: https://gist.github.com/jabeavers/5831866 I've updated the link to reflect the current changes. I haven't tried copying and pasting the code from header into index.tpl. I might try that later. Since I've got it working, I have other jobs that ...

Well, I bypassed s9y and simply added a function in config.inc.php that queries the db, formats the url, and outputs the code that I need for the menu. I don't understand why it wasn't working, and it would be nice to have it taken care of completely by s9y, but that didn't happen, so I did it my wa...

Sorry, I got busy doing other work...... Here's my index.tpl file, which is how I call header.tpl: {include file="header.tpl"} {if $is_raw_mode != true} {$CONTENT} {/if} {$raw_data} {serendipity_hookPlugin hook="frontend_footer"} {if $is_embedded != true} {php}include 'templates/...

header.tpl: https://gist.github.com/jabeavers/5831866 The website it is on: http://www.gravleyenterprises.com/blog/ There is something in the content.tpl that loads the plugin data (or, in the control file for content.tpl), but that call hasn't happened when header.tpl is called, so the plugin infor...

Thanks Garvin. I still have the problem that the sidebar data doesn't seem to be available in my header.tpl file, but is available in content.tpl (but I need it in header, which is called prior to content).

How do I load the sidebar/plugins in header.tpl instead of content.tpl?

Thanks.

I have configured sidebar plugins of categories for different pages and/or parts of pages. I have a right side plugin for the side bar, and I have a left side plugin for the home page (instead of entries). I also have a drop-down navigation menu with the categories. I'd like all three to be styled o...

Wow, thanks all for the discussions and tips. I will certainly look at this when I have time. I'll let you know how it goes.

Well, the reason I ask is that we use Savant for all the websites we develop, and it would be nice to use Savant for the blog templates, so we can use the same templates (header.tpl, footer.tpl) to make the site and the blog look the same.

I'll give it a try and see how it goes.

Thanks,
John

I was wondering if it is possible to use a different templating engine without entirely rewriting everything. Can that be done with a plugin or does it need to be rewritten to do that. The templating engine I want to use is Savant, in case you were wondering.

Hey Don, Thanks for the offer and the advice (priceless!!). I do ask plenty of questions here, my problem is that I have not been able to find any kind of api or even list of variables available in a template file that I can use. I wanted the book because I'd hoped it covers that, as well as program...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Oh, um... ok, thanks.

John

Garvin:

I bought the book, but didn't realize it is in German. Is there an English version? Can we trade mine for the English somehow?

Thanks,
John

Hey Timbalu, I did look at that and it works great on the index page, but when one clicks on one of the categories, it doesn't have the list of categories in the data. I use a plugin for the categories for the sidebar, but I need to have control over the display of the info, and serendipity_fetchCat...
