Hi Iwant to realize one Layout like this:

Is this Possible with S9y?

I can realize the Header, and sidebars but i don't know how to realize the Random Picture and this style of entrys...

Yes, this is possible.

For the row alternation you'd have to learn Smarty syntax a bit, as the whole workflow in $entries.tpl needs to be modified.

But you can doo it all in the template.

Maybe I'm too stupid but i can't work withe Smarty System
I've tried a really simple example but it doesn't work

I've replaced the text in entries.tpl with this:

Code: Select all

<!-- ENTRIES START -->
 {serendipity_hookPlugin hook="entries_header" addData="$entry_id"}
<table width="225" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="400" height="27" valign="top" background="{$category.category_icon}"><span>{$entry.categories}</span></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="168" valign="top"><h4 class="serendipity_title"><a href="{$entry.link}">{$entry.title}</a></h4></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td height="149" valign="top">SUMMARY</td>
  </tr>
</table>       

But it doesn't work.
Smarty don't replace the {***} with anything.

(I've posted in a category with a category picture)

can someone say me what is wrong?

Yes, you need to copy all those {foreach} loops as well, because the variables only happen to exist within that loop.

I'm afraid there's a lot to learn to get this to work properly for a newbie. One other way would be to use CSS3, but since that is not supported everywhere it's not a real-life option.

I'm very interested in CSS3. Where can I find info?

I think I know enough about smarty, but don't see an easy way to do this layout. Uhm.. Do you think just with float divs and some css2 clases will work?
