[Black Dove]

hello all , im totally new with all of that specially with Serendipity , i like it so much and think that if fits my need but i have some problems with it :
1. the site name is not in the center and i want to change its size amd make it center


2. when i go to any another page ( not index ) the site name and the topic name become like this

so what i need is to make the site name in all pages without the topic name .

3. can i make any watermark at my upload image or any another idea bc i dont need anybody take my image in other site .

4. i want to change the default font and font size it the blog .

5. what is trackbacks ?

6. i want to edit that section to select what to display



7. if i want to add Google adds without the serendipity_plugin_google_adsense bc it dosent look good in the site and want to add it at one of the following:
* b4 the topics
*after the topics
* in side bar
so who can i ?

8. when i upload any pic it become so small as u see here so why ?

9. the great problem : the User Self-Registration plugin dosnt work with me , it installed corectly and a new plugin added and i tried to make a reg. and it told me that it will send me a verfy at email and nothing happend .
so if i wanna add any user i have to add it from admin control panel .

10. HOW can i add entry i dont find any way to ad a new entry and i have to log in as admin and make New Entry , so what if im only a user how can i add an entry ?

Hi!

Thanks for using Serendipity You might want to not use so much color and font sizing in your forum articles, it makes them very hard to read.

About your problems:

1. Edit the style.css file of your template (that should be templates/competition/style.css) and insert this at the end:

Code: Select all

#serendipity_banner h1 {
 text-align: center;
 font-size: 50pt;
}

to change it. Adapt the font-size to your liking.

2. To change that, you need to edit the index.tpl file in the same directory.

Replace this:

Code: Select all

<div id="serendipity_banner">
    <h1><a class="homelink1" href="{$serendipityBaseURL}">{$head_title|@default:$blogTitle|truncate:30:"...":true}</a></h1>
    <h2><a class="homelink2" href="{$serendipityBaseURL}">{$head_subtitle|@default:$blogDescription}</a></h2>
</div>

with this:

Code: Select all

<div id="serendipity_banner">
    <h1><a class="homelink1" href="{$serendipityBaseURL}">{$blogTitle}</a></h1>
</div>

3. You need to put the watermarks in your images already, serendipity cannot add them for you.

4. You can do that in the same style.css file. Search for "font-size" and "font-family".

5. Read http://www.s9y.org/48.html

6. Your image is too small and illegible, I don't know what you want

7. you must edit the 'entries.tpl' template file for that. This will get hard for you, so you might need to read up the documentation about templating on www.s9y.org. Remember that if you insert javascript into a template file you need to replace { with {ldelim} and } with {rdelim} to escape those special characters.

8. You can change the thumbnail size in Serendpity configuration, currently its set to 110 pixel by default.

9. If you don't get an email, please contact your server provider and ask him if the PHP mail() function is properly installed.

10. If you are a normal user, you must give that normal user the privileges to create entries. In the user management, make sure that user has set "Right to create entries" ("Forbid creating entries") properly set.

Your last screenshot ofthe error message seems to be a server connection problem, unrelated to serendipity itself!
