ceejay01 template released

[Sylvain]

I want to insert the Random Quotes in the top right frame (on the right of the rose flower).

the random quotes is a Side Bar plugin.

Thanks

That can be done, but you will need to get your hands dirty with changing the code in index.tpl, and then you will probably need to adjust your stylesheet. One problem I see happening is if the quote is quite long it might break out of the background box.

The quickest and easiest way of doing this is to backup your index.tpl then replace this

Code: Select all

	<div id="about-snippet">
	{if $head_version < 1.1}
	<p>Welcome to my site, please bookmark this page. Read all about me. <a href="#"> More »</a></p>
	{else}
	<p>{$template_option.about} <a href="{$template_option.aboutpageurl}"> More »</a></p>
	{/if}
	</div>

with this;

Code: Select all

<div id="about-snippet"><p>
{serendipity_showPlugin class="serendipity_plugin_randomquotes" side="hidden" negate="null"} </p></div>

Now in the plugin config screen set the random quotes to hidden. This will prevent it from showing up in the sidebar.

Hope that helps, Carl

Easy to do? I tried to use the header image plugin, but it seems to have no effect on this template.

Added:

The header image plugin asks for one of 3 "base" theme types (I guess that's the correct way to describe). Is the basic style of a theme documented somewhere?

Hi wwday3, in my last post the original question had been about the random quotes plugin, and my response was specific for that. However the plugin you want to use is very different, and unfortunately the header image in ceejay01 is a complete image called as a background from the stylesheet. Thus, changing it using the plugin you mention is not so easy. If you could let me see the image you want to use instead of the default image for ceejay01 I might be able to help you out,

Cheers, Carl

Hi, first of all great thnx for the theme.

I´m trying to change some things to integrate it in my new site, but being a newby i couldn´t sort some things out, maybe you can help:

I have my own header and i would like to exchange the part with

* Home
* About
* Photos
* Contact

with my own header, also removing the top image and the lines on top like "Hi, Welcome to my site, please bookmark me, and feel free to comment on my posts More »" and the blogdescription. The search could stay where it is...

two more things that should be easy:
i would like to insert a line between the blog entries, how can i do that?

where can i change the background of the blog (where the blog entries show up) and the overall background, because for me it stays white?

it would be nice, if you could point me to the right directions, thnx a lot...
