All there is is this in address bar:

http://www.bkdesign.ca/s9y/entries?serendipity[adminModule]=entries&serendipity[adminAction]=new
and on the page only this:
<a href='/s9y/uploads/canyonentry.jpg'><img style="float: right; border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="/s9y ...

I had this happen once before but it stopped on its own? I guess..
When I click on a photo to add it to an article I get an explorer window opening with just the code showing:

I have to copy and paste ...

Actually, just got home and was lookin over what I have done so far, especially to the menu...hmmm, if I can do that much in a day, in a few months it will be makin my coffee in the morning ;-)

I don't mind ftp and a learning curve when I am patient, which is...ummmm seldom? lol
Going back to ...

I am sure there is more info someplace here on editing templates. I am new, so it seems very difficult to make changes as there seems to be several different tempates for main page. Just adding visitor tracking took some searching...

maybe a dumb question, but are there any plans to be able to edit ...

Thanks Garvin, will see what I can do.
I feel a blog should always show all categories on the startpage; if a user explicitly wanted to only see a certain category, he would do so by himself.


yes, but I seem to always want to go "beyond the blog" for some reason. I don't know if it's a hobby or ...

I agree, there muct be a way to hack the main start page to just show a specified category...I am wondering about having index.php be a category page, ie: http://www.bkdesign.ca/s9y/categories/4_Front_Page is the url of the category "Front Page" on my site. Placing this as index.php would make main ...

I agree 100%. The olny thing I miss about Movable Type is the popup page from a thumb in an article. The page fits the image exactly. I am sure this could be hacked into Serendipity, maybe throw in template editing?

BKDesign is pleased to announce that all issues with Serendipity have been resolved :-)

When I tried to add a photo today to an article to show a screenshot of code issue from yesterday, it worked, and not only that, it worked the best by far out of over 20 programs we have installed and configured ...

OK latest build installed, went good.
Image upload and thumb creation went perfect.
Add photo to article, all goes well.
Choose options for inserting, use thumb as link etc, click done.
New explorer window opens with code in it.
Copied code and pasted into article.
Link to full size image works ...

I guess you must have a problematic user/group setup where s9y can't access what you uploaded via FTP. And maybe you have the imagemagick module activated without having imagemagick installed?!

The only thing uploaded via ftp was serendipity itself. No other program has any problems with ...

setting localhost gave me errors as well. This is getting to be way too much hassle. Even TWiki was easier, and they recomend even webdesigners not to attemp an install.
Anyways, I successfully installed the latest release, last nights tonights whatever...now folder serendipity3
This time uploads ...

Thanks for the reply Garvin,

OK will try. I deleted my install to start new, but grrr...somehow archives and uploads folders got permissions of 770. Deleted database, can't open either folder, no htaccess around...do I have to have folder serendipity2 forever now? lol
Reinstalling and will try ...

I have both on my server now (among others). I find WordPress has photo uploader and makes thumbs, but that's it. Had to ftp to server to find thumb was there, and to include it in an article is a hassle, almost all manual.
Serendipity makes it easy, makes thumb and gives code etc. Only Movable Type ...

My images didn't show up either, and the only way I got them working was to create a new upload directory, which I called photos, and entered that in configuration screen. Now they work good.
I couldn't change the permissions on "uploads" directory, and couldn't open it even. (ftp access only ...
