photos again

I had this happen once before but it stopped on its own? I guess..
When I click on a photo to add it to an article I get an explorer window opening with just the code showing:

editing templates

I am sure there is more info someplace here on editing templates. I am new, so it seems very difficult to make changes as there seems to be several different tempates for main page. Just adding visitor tracking took some searching...

maybe a dumb question, but are there any plans to be able to edit ...

Categories

Thanks Garvin, will see what I can do.
I feel a blog should always show all categories on the startpage; if a user explicitly wanted to only see a certain category, he would do so by himself.


yes, but I seem to always want to go "beyond the blog" for some reason. I don't know if it's a hobby or ...

category specific front page

I agree, there muct be a way to hack the main start page to just show a specified category...I am wondering about having index.php be a category page, ie: http://www.bkdesign.ca/s9y/categories/4_Front_Page is the url of the category "Front Page" on my site. Placing this as index.php would make main ...

Image popup

I agree 100%. The olny thing I miss about Movable Type is the popup page from a thumb in an article. The page fits the image exactly. I am sure this could be hacked into Serendipity, maybe throw in template editing? ;-)

I guess you must have a problematic user/group setup where s9y can't access what you uploaded via FTP. And maybe you have the imagemagick module activated without having imagemagick installed?!

The only thing uploaded via ftp was serendipity itself. No other program has any problems with ...

Wordpress vs serendipity

I have both on my server now (among others). I find WordPress has photo uploader and makes thumbs, but that's it. Had to ftp to server to find thumb was there, and to include it in an article is a hassle, almost all manual.
Serendipity makes it easy, makes thumb and gives code etc. Only Movable Type ...

My images didn't show up either, and the only way I got them working was to create a new upload directory, which I called photos, and entered that in configuration screen. Now they work good.
I couldn't change the permissions on "uploads" directory, and couldn't open it even. (ftp access only ...
