How does one go about having a menu below the top logo?
Just trying to get a link to my Forum and an About page.
So far all the link plugins I see create a list of links on the side.
Also is there a list somewhere of commercial themes?

It might help if you could point us to a URL to your existing site.

Re: Theme question - Menu on top
I have a few blogs I plan to make, but the first one is:
http://dealingwithpests.com
I am looking to have a menu like this blog has:
http://goodlifezen.com
I only need an About and Forum links. The links will point to an about plain HTML page and to a forum at http://forum.dealingwithpests.com
Do I need to edit a template file or is there a theme that already does this?

Some templates have navigational menus built in. Have you looked at any other templates? You can use the spartacus plugin to fetch templates, or you can fetch them and ftp to your server here.

I have another post, http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17075, because of error "This theme/style has no specific options".
Can't change themes right now.

Re: Theme question - Menu on top
Until I solve the issue with the error on changing themes, is there a way to manually change what is the default active theme?

You can install the "Template selector" event and sidebar plugins, which allows you to pick from templates in the sidebar, and also straight via URL (so that your visitors don'nt necessarrily see it). You might need to refresh your browser's cache (Shift-F5) after changing a template though.francisco1844 wrote:Until I solve the issue with the error on changing themes, is there a way to manually change what is the default active theme?

Bumping memory fixed the problem.. but I would still like to understand how to change the default theme from the CLI.. to understand how that part of the system works.garvinhicking wrote:You can install the "Template selector" event and sidebar plugins, which allows you to pick from templates in the sidebar

Hi!
By "CLI" you mean, by hand? The current theme is stored in the serendipity_config database tables under the "template" key.

Yes. I thought perhaps it was a config file.garvinhicking wrote:Hi!

That is what I was looking for. Thanks.
Is there an introduction to the internals somewhere? perhaps a developer doc. Looking just to understand a little more so in the case of future issues will have a slightly better chance to find pointers of what the problem is.. or at least give more educated feedback in the forum when asking for help.

Hi!
Well, we have a bit of scattered documentation on the s9y.org documentation wiki. s9y also has php-doc style comments, so you could get yourself a phpdoc compiler to see the inline code documentation?!
