Installation went smoothly... but

Post by g-Org »

still i have some questions.

1) Is there a way to reset s9y?
Which files do i delete to to make serendipity believe it's freshly installed?

2) Databases
I tried to run 2 S9y installs with one database using different prefixes.
It worked... almost. I din't succeed in logging into the second installation.
Did i do something wrong? Or is this impossible?
If impossible, what would be the solution?

3) Skripts
I would like to insert a javascript into my blogs mainpage (i have to deal with very limited space so i want to hide/show the sidebar with a button). Where should i insert my script?

Thanks in advance

I just realised. It IS possible to have two installations using the same database with different prefixes and therefore different database tables.
Dunno what went wrong in the first place.

I still didn't figure out the "reset".
Deleting the database tables didn't do the trick. Does no one know which files are created/changed during install of serendipidy?

Perhaps my third question was to blurry. I try again.
Wich file would be the best place to insert custom javascripts in a way that they appear and are usabel on the blog's mainpage.
I tried to find an appropriate place myself, but i got lost... damn :)

Maybe this answers your question on which file to delete http://www.s9y.info/forums/viewtopic.php?t=709

Thanx... this one helped....

So does anyone know, or can anyone point me to an answer for the javascript question?

Which of the 99,999,999 files of an s9y installation should i use to insert a custom javascript?

Since you already found out that you just need to delete 'serendipity_config_local.inc.php', here's how you would insert custom Javascript:

In 0.7.x versions you need to modify the file layout.php in your template directory. There you can also output any JavaScript code you want. You may also edit serendipity_genpage.inc.php to insert JS in HEAD context.

In versions above 0.8 this is much easier, since we now use Smarty. There just edit index.tpl of your template directory (or templates/default/index.tpl) if you're lacking that file.

THANKS a LOT 8) 8)
I think I'll switch to 0.8 since I heard it's pretty stable.
