Change Detection

Post by lindau »

I am using a free service from changedetection.com to notify me when there are changes to the text on my blog.

I am getting notices for every page every day because of the calendar changing the date.

changedetection.com says that I can tag parts of the page to ignore by adding this code;

"To ignore the changes on part of a page (for example the page header, nav bar, footer, or an ad that is changed continuously) use the following two tags as illustrated:
...stuff to monitor for changes...
<!-- ChangeDetection.com detection="off" -->
...stuff to ignore...
<!-- ChangeDetection.com detection="on" -->
...stuff to monitor for changes... "

My question is where would I insert that code, and on which files? Where is the calendar activated?

Hi!

Why not just subscribe to your sites RSS feed?

RSS feeds are there to track new pages. Check out Wikipedia for more info about RSS :)

If you still want to add those files, you could try to edit the "index.tpl" file of your used template (like /templates/default/index.tpl) and put that text around the places where {serendipity_printSidebar side="..."} is called.

HTH,
Garvin

When I subscribe to an RSS feed, I only get notified for the first page, and I need to be notified whenever any page changes.
