Modifying the RSS feed

Is there a way to modify the RSS feed that Serendipity produces?

For example, suppose I just want the feed to consist of the title of each post, along with the first paragraph or so of the text.

Anyone who wanted to see more could click on the link for a particular post.

The reason that I'd like ...

"Configure Plugins" screen in 1.1

On the new plugins screen in version 1.1, there is no longer a dropdown list to configure the display of sidebar plugins (left, right, hidden). I also didn't see a way to change the status of event plugins between active and inactive.

All I saw, in both cases, was just a dropdown with a list of ...

Thanks Garvin.

That code set the mode to linear.

I also commented out the DIV directly above this, which posts the choice between linear and threaded.

I also commented out the <tr> </tr> that contains the dropdown box in commentform.tpl that lets you choose which post you're responding to.

That ...

Setting comments permanently to linear

I would like the comments in my blog to be set permanently to linear, with no option to display as threaded.

What's the best way to do this?

Space between entries

What determines the vertical space between successive entries?

I looked in entries.tpl and style.css, but couldn't find it.

Right now, it's running at about 125 pixels and I'd like to tighten it up a little.

Here's a hack

Here's a hack to increase the height of the editor window.

In the /htmlarea directory, open htmlarea.js

Look for:

// size the IFRAME according to user's prefs or initial textarea
var height = (this.config.height == "auto" ? (this._ta_size.h + "px") : this.config.height);


Add this ...

Problem with layout in IE

I am trying to adapt an existing layout (Blue Streak) for my blog.

I am getting close but I've run into a problem. The blog renders fine in netscape and firefox, but not in IE.

Essentially, the layout is in a table, one row an three columns. The columns are for the content area, a spacer, then the ...

Hi Judebert,

Thanks for the quick response.

I'm using the "mt-plainjane" theme. It doesn't have an admin folder.

I checked the style.css file in the /templates/default/admin folder and it doesn't seem to have an entry for the height of the editor window.

Any suggestions?

On edit: Never mind. I ...

Working with the Serendipity editor

Is there a way to change the height of the editor window? I'm working with images and other things and the height is very small.

Also, I see a second window that says "Extended body." What is this for?
