Ooookay, so let's take some baby steps to make you hape.
Route to happiness, part 1:
Your server time problem. This stems from the fact that your blogs runs on a server that is not in the same timezone than you are. If you are the server's admin or have a good relation to him, you could ask him if we wanted to adjust the server timezone to your zone. If not, you can use the Serendipity "Server Timezone Offset" configuration option, where you enter the amount of hours your server differs from your nice little home.
Route to be even happier, part 2:
Your "trackback" link showing up in the entry footer. This thingie happens within the "entries.tpl" file. Since the "blue" template doesn'T have one, it uses the file from the "default" folder. Best thing is to copy this entries.tpl from default over to the blue directory to edit it.
Inside that file you will find this piece of code:
Code: Select all
{if $use_popups}
| <a href="{$entry.link_popup_trackbacks}" onclick="window.open(this.href, 'comments', 'width=480,height=480,scrollbars=yes'); return false;">{$entry.label_trackbacks} ({$entry.trackbacks})</a>
{else}
| <a href="{$entry.link}#trackbacks">{$entry.label_trackbacks} ({$entry.trackbacks})</a>
{/if}
Just remove that whole portion, and the " | Trackbacks(0)" will be vaporized. Gone in an instant. Nothing to burry, nothing to mourn. (2 Extra points for finding the source of this quote).
The goal of your journey, part 3:
Your final problem was to make the comments fit the look of your page. First off, I would recommend you thinking about disabling the popup alltogether. I don't like them, so maybe you don't either. You can disable popups inside the Serendipity Configuration.
If you definitely want to have those popups, you do this. Edit your style.css file and insert this code at the end:
Code: Select all
#serendipity_comment_page {
background-color: #e6eaee;
border: 1px dashed #d0d0d0;
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
width: auto;
}
#serendipity_comment_page li {
list-style-type: none;
}
Having some drawbacks, part 4
I hate to tell you this at the end, but something's not right with your template. Because when I go to the final entry view (like
http://www.gusgreeper.com/index.php?/ar ... aikus.html) I do not see your right sidebar anymore. Is this intentional? If not, you'd need to tell me which event plugins you have installed right now, and at best, zip up your currentt template files (the whole folder) and put it online for me somewhere to look at.
Best regards,
Garvin
