smiley problems and how to change the browser title

Post by imapumpkin »

Hi all, just like to start off by saying I think serendipity is great :D and I'm very happy with it. A big thanks to all the developers.

I have a couple of quick queries though which I'm sure will be straight forward for someone that knows serendipity.

1. When viewing the comments of my blog the smileys aren't displaying at the correct size. When the page is loading it looks like it's going to display them correctly, probably around 15x15 but once the page has loaded the smileys jump to 40x48 in size. I also notice when in admin view in the media library the roatate clockwise icon is displaying at 204x233 instead of something like 22x22.

2. What would be the best way to change the blog's browser title. I'd like that to be different from the blog name displayed at the top of the page.

Thanks very much

:)

The first thing can happen on some odd Internet Explorer versions and/or when javascript is not working properly because the PNG transparency .htc files (browsercompatibility plugin) failed to load properly...hard to fix as long as IE does not supprot propper transparency; the Javascript should basically work, but sometimes I could see the phenomenon you described.

2. You could just edit your template's index.tpl file and there insert the browser title in the <title> tag. But then you'd loose a little functionality as the title is assigned dynamically depending on the context. Look at our Templating/Theming Howto on s9y.org for more information about the *.tpl files :)

HTH and best regards,

Hi Garvin, thanks for the info :) I just viewed my blog in FireFox and the smileys are at the correct size. Didn't know IE had this problem. That's useful to know.

And I'll read up about .tpl files.

Thanks for your reply :D
