I need to know what files and lines to edit to:

-- include a .css stylesheet externally (or internally)
-- included in that css incorporate a no-repeated background. (S9y will be displayed within a frame or iframe)
-- add a HR at the bottom of each event automatically as well as post date and not jsut time.
-- remove link from: user name, post title, and post time.

I did this all before on a previous version but it was some years ago and I cant for the life of me remember how I did it. Any input/solutions are welcome.

Hi!

You can do everything in the index.tpl file of your template directory. If your template doesn't have that file, copy over templates/default/index.tpl to your directory.

If you insert code there, remember that you need to replace { with {ldelim} and } with {rdelim} to prevent smarty parse errors.

Entry dates etc. can be edited inside the entries.tpl template file, search for {$entry.timestamp} to get near the time. Same applies to removing links. This is basically all HTML that you can modify.

Thank you, but it still won't recognize or incorporate:

-- include a .css stylesheet externally (or internally)
-- included in that css incorporate a no-repeated background. (S9y will be displayed within a frame or iframe)

I get a unrecognized line error when inluding link or style.

In addition to the above I realized that I also need to make sure that all posted links are target=_blank or some such so they dont reuse window (since it will be embedded)

many thanks for the help Ive already recieved.

Add the following html tag in your head to force openning
Not sure that this strict compliant though.

Billiant and simple. Can't believe it eluded me. added this to the 'entries.tpl' and viola, all links are now targeted external.

many thanks Sonic.

Above CSS/Link issues still persist.

.

Logically following the installed directory file 'serendipity.css.php' it basically says to put the external stylesheet in the installed directory, not the template direcoty or index.tpl/entries.tpl.

placing the .css there it works. custom styles loaded.

thanks much to the efforts of above.
