I am trying to set the plugin_dir to an array that will point to the default plugin directory AND a plugin dir off my template directory.

The following seems like it should work, but it doesn't:

$serendipity['smarty']->plugin_dir = array($serendipity['serendipityPath'] . PATH_SMARTY_COMPILE ...

I would like to be able to write my own smarty plugins for use with serendipity, and keep these plugins in a separate "myplugins" directory.

To do this, I need to be able to access the smarty object serendipity is using and change the designed plugins directory settings -- but I can't find where ...

The problem was created by the markdown plugin. when I uninstalled it, the "continued" problem went away.

thanks for causing me to think along these lines.

Even when my post is short, i.e., there is no extended entry, serendipity runs a "Continue reading" etc. link at the bottom of the post.

Is this by design? Is there a way to disable this for short posts?
