Hi, I am planning to switch to Serendipity but I am facing some problems.
I also have some feature requests.

So let's start with the templates. My site is made of valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and valid CSS2.

AFAIK there is no way to change the HTML head. The default head provides a HTML 4.01 Transitionnal which does not suit my needs.
Would it be possible to add the possibility to handle HTML head in the template ?
The RSS and Atom feeds links could be given as variables and the head only displayed if the blog is not embed.
Here is an example :

Code: Select all

<?php if (!$serendipity['embed']) {?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
           "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
    <title>Dying Culture</title>
    <meta name="Powered-By" content="Serendipity v.0.6-rc1" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $serendipity['styleSheetURL']; ?> " />
    <link rel="alternate"  type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="<?php echo $serendipity['RSSFeedURL']; ?>" />
    <link rel="alternate"  type="application/x.atom+xml"  title="Atom"  href="<?php echo $serendipity['atomFeedURL']; ?>" />
</head>
<?php } ?>

This way it would be possible to also handle meta-tags, alternate style sheets etc.

Hi!

There is. Look at the section "embedded mode" in the README file. There you can add custom headers/footers and only wrapping the contents. My page http://blog.garv.info/ is made using that principle.

Oops, I did not think about that solution.

Thanks Garvin.
