no date stamp / round corners / static pages...

[KingEvil]

i'm using the bulletproof template, and i'm a little stuck. i tried searching the archives, but couldn't really find answers to my specific issues.....

1. is it possible to have NO date stamp appear on entries?

2. how can i apply rounded corners to the sidebar boxes?

3. i have set up categories, and i installed the static pages plugin. i created a static page and put it in a category. when i publish it and go to the main page, i click on he category that should have the static page, and it doesn't appear. how else can i link to my static page(s)? am i doing this correctly?

4. where do i change the background color for my entries/posts?

thanks for any help....

Hi!

You can achieve all with CSS and some HTML. Do you know how to use CSS/HTML? IF so, you can edit the templates/bulletproof/entries.tpl file and create a custom stylesheet which you can then load as a colorset (style_yourname.css, which holds your specific CSS rules).

3. i have set up categories, and i installed the static pages plugin. i created a static page and put it in a category. when i publish it and go to the main page, i click on he category that should have the static page, and it doesn't appear. how else can i link to my static page(s)? am i doing this correctly?

To use the category->staticpage association you'll have to edit template files. Check the readme-file inside the staticpage directory, it explains that.

Usually you link to a staticpage simply by referring to the Permalink, or installing the staticpage sidebar plugin.

Hi

you can achieve rounded corners easily with nifty corners. You can see it in use on one of my sites Vindon Ireland if it helps

It needs to be yourname_style.css for it to work correctly in bulletproof... bp is looking for all files ending in "_style.css".

i do know html and a little css. i'm looking for the specific entries i need to change, in the existing css file. since i'm only making a couple changes, i don't really want to make a new css file.

To use the category->staticpage association you'll have to edit template files. Check the readme-file inside the staticpage directory, it explains that.

there are two mechanism for this:

1) you have a static page and you want to link from this page to a category and you want to show the newest headline of this category on this static page:

create a static page
choose the category on "related category"
Article type = static pagew with related category (or use your own tpl, but then you have to copy the specific code from plugin_staticpage_related_category.tpl)

2) you have a category and this should get one related static page with a link to this (perhaps the same as above? ):

edit the category
related static-page = your choosen static page

To show the link to the static page, you have to edit entries.tpl od your template. Read the instructions on README_FOR_RELATED_CATEGORIES.txt

then: Have fun!
