Serendipity Forums

Firstly let me say that I think that Serendipity is the best blogging software I've used. I'm not a blogging expert, not even an experienced blogger. But from a "All I want to do is get it installed, looking good and use it quickly" perspective, Serendipity leaves all the other big name or well known blogging software in the dust. Well done to all involved, it's a great app.

Now. I have some very simple questions.

1 - When I post hyperlinks in posts, in Firefox they appear with a line through them, looking like they are crossed out, but in IE they appear with no underline or line through them. Is there a fix for that?

2 - Is there a plug in I can use that will allow me to enter in multiple posts at one time but have the posts posted in the future? ie: type in 3 posts on Monday and have 1 post posted on Mon, one on Tue and one on Wed etc?

Many thanks and well done to the developers once more.

I'm not great with CSS, but I would assume this is a problem with the theme you are using. Can you let us know which theme you are using, or even a link to your page to take a look.

In the meantime, you can check the css file for anything listing "text-decoration: line-through;", especially entries like "a:link" and "a:visited".

(The CSS file depends on the theme you are using, but generally they are under something like "templates\template-name\style.css". For example, the default css is "templates\default\style.css".

This (future publishing) is actually available by default. All you have to do is add the posts as you would normally, but set the date to the date/time you want it to be published, then publish the post. Note, this will make trackbacks and any "pings" you have configured at the time you publish, which is kind of awkward, but there isn't an easy way around it.

meanwhile we have a cron-alike-plugin: Could this be a way araound?

Thank you both for your replies.

I am using the Andreas 08 theme/template. My blog is here if you can take a look - radio.10gallons.com/blog

Thanks for your help.

The links being crossed out are a function of the theme. It is designed so that if you visit a link it changes to being crossed out.

You can remove this behavior by editing templates/andreas08/style.css

Go to line 177 and remove it.
Should look something like this: (Alternatively, you can just remove "text-decoration: line-through;" from the line, or edit it to something else you would like.)

That got it. Thanks Matthew from a fellow Matthew.

Take care.
