Gee - can you tell I'm subscribed to this topic? :lol: I'm definitely missing something in the syntax for file names and changing directories. I have s9y installed at http://www.mydomain.com/serendipity My file, serendipity_wrapper.php is located at http://www.mydomain.com/serendipity_wrapper.php Wh...

judebert - my last reply was being written when you posted yours just before, so I didn't see it.

Instead of modifying the index.tpl, how about if I just select "hidden" for the side bar stuff? Not sure what that will look like within my page, but it could be a start.

OK - I gather from other things I have read that your suggestion, is itself, a replacement for the index.tpl file. Then I need a wrapper.php file: <?php ob_start(); chdir("<serendipity_dir>"); require("index.php"); chdir("<original_dir>"); $serendipity_contents = ob_get...

Looks like you posted while I was just about to ask another question. Based on your original reply in which you supplied a modified index.tpl file, it occurs to me that I might not be on the right track. Am I adding further modifications to a custom index.tpl file (starting with your example), or am...

judebert - to make the best of your valuable time, I thought I would post an update. First, I am still having difficulties viewing my server files. All signs point to FrontPage extensions, but being no expert, I have no real idea. I deleted a bunch of files, removed & reinstalled FP extensions, ...

Thanks again judebert. Using FrontPage, I can tell it to overwrite everything already on the destination. However, doing so will not delete anything that doesn't get updated. For instance, if there is a file 123.php already there, and that file does not exist in the upgrade, it will still be there o...

As I understand it, ANY FTP access will screw up the FrontPage Extensions, and I proved that a few days ago. Reinstalling the extensions solved the problem. I can "reverse publish" the Serendipity files from the server to my local computer, make changes as needed, then publish them back. I...

Well, I'm on the phone with tech support (godaddy) and they can see all the files and folders - the data is still there, as I suspected, I just cannot see all of it for some reason. They are looking into whether it is related to another ticket I opened yesterday. Any of you server gurus have any sug...

Thanks for the reply judebert. Before I can begin moving in the direction you suggest, I need to get the index.tpl file. However, when I look at my directory structure under /serendipity/, this is all I see: bundled-libs deployment docs htmlarea include lang comment.php exit.php That's it! Now, I KN...

Big time noob here. Let me start by saying I am really impressed by Serendipity!! Hats off to the development team!! I have little web experience. In fact, the site I am working on is only the 3rd time I have ever attempted such a thing, the the previous 2 were the earlier generations of the same si...
