Re: Drop down menu list

This link allows us to see the CSS: http://www.weatherconnect.co.uk/templates/bulletproof/style.css However, it doesnt give us the option to actually modify it. So where can we modify it? Sorry for being a pain. Lol. :lol: I think you are referring to the template modification features found in var...

Re: Increase wysiwyg editor input window size

There is an even easier way. You just click on the maximize button and it will fill the entire page! ITs the button that looks like a green arrow. Its the third from last on the toolbar.

Re: Hide blog pages?

Use the extended properties for entries plugin. Then create a custom field called hide. Set the value of hide to 'yes' for all the existing entries. You could probably do this via an SQL query if there are a lot of entries otherwise just do it manually. Then in entries.tpl check whether its a single...

Re: RSS Feed no longer working

Don't rely on firefox live bookmarks. It fails to load lots of feeds for no reason at all. ITs a little flaky.

Your feed shows up just fine and validates too:

Re: removing items from blog home but keeping them in archives

Install the extended entry properties plugin. It gives you an option to hide any blog post from the "overview pages and RSS feeds" which will make the post dissappear from the front page. An alternative is to setup a custom field for each entry. For every post that you don't want to displa...

Hi! Something like: {foreach from=$entries item="dategroup" name="outerloop"} {foreach from=$dategroup.entries item="entry" name="innerloop"} {if $smarty.innerloop.first && $smarty.outerloop.first} <div class="first"> {else} <div> {/if} .......

Re: Markup-Buttons for comments

I just installed this plugin on my blog and its not working. A look at the firefox error console tells me that "jquery is not defined". The plugin is not including the bundled jquery.js like its supposed to. Since I am already using the html in head plugin I just added a line to include jq...

I have my blog post urls looking how I wish now. However how do I keep old URLs alive through redirection?

What code would I need to add to my htaccess file to redirect to the old blog urls to the new urls?
The old URLs will also work.

Re: Help Changing URL For SEO Purposes

You will need to enable apache mod_rewrite. Go to serendipity admin page > configuration > appearance and options> URL rewriting and select mod_rewrite from the list box and click on the check & save button. Serendipity will then attempt to write a .htaccess file . You may need to enable write p...

Re: Root level htacess and redirects issues

I recommend that you use the following code just once:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Why change the code now? Well because no-www link to an entry permalink still does not redirect correctly on your site.

Re: unable to connect to database

Hi Garvin. I have spoken with my mysql provider and they think the problem is within the blog. Therefore there was no help in contacting them. But what I have done is that I deleted the old blog on my server and I deleted the database that the blog used. Then I made a new database from scratch and ...

Re: s9y GMT offset

Hi! But I think that the new default behaviour should be to leave things as they were for the user. Always enabling the UTC-timezone might introduce problems for users where time offsets have worked fine in the past. Thus, the new option should really only take effect, when the user specifically en...

Re: s9y GMT offset

Hi! Thanks for the patch. I am wondering why the UTC timezone is applied when the variable is set to == false? Shouldn't it be only applied when it's true? When someone updates his s9y without going to the configuration, $serendipity['useServerOffset'] will always be == false...? Regards, Garvin We...

Re: s9y GMT offset

The function you mentioned is only used when displaying the time. But if we want to use GMT instead of the server time we need s9y to save the GMT time as the blog entry timestamp. Unfortunately whenever it comes to saving the time s9y is using the time() function not any wrapper function. In fact t...
