I am trying to set the plugin_dir to an array that will point to the default plugin directory AND a plugin dir off my template directory.

The following seems like it should work, but it doesn't:

$serendipity['smarty']->plugin_dir = array($serendipity['serendipityPath'] . PATH_SMARTY_COMPILE ...

I would like to be able to write my own smarty plugins for use with serendipity, and keep these plugins in a separate "myplugins" directory.

To do this, I need to be able to access the smarty object serendipity is using and change the designed plugins directory settings -- but I can't find where ...

The problem was created by the markdown plugin. when I uninstalled it, the "continued" problem went away.

thanks for causing me to think along these lines.

This looks really nice. Would you be willing to share the smarty template you used for the entries listing?

Even when my post is short, i.e., there is no extended entry, serendipity runs a "Continue reading" etc. link at the bottom of the post.

Is this by design? Is there a way to disable this for short posts?
