Serendipity Forums

I've switched templates from MT-Trendy to Gila Two and noticed something odd about the switch.

When I switched, the text "For" appeared above my header on Gila Two. I have no idea where this is being parsed from or where it could be. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your help.

Hi!

This seems to either come from the index.tpl template of your new template, or from a plugin.

At the place where "For" appears, plugins can hook into the "frontend_header" hook. Like, HTML Page Nuggets or other event plugins can show up there. Plus, mis-edited plugins might also hook their output there.

HTH,

I haven't added any new plugins...save the static page plugin. I tried to uninstall this plugin and continue. No dice on removing that 'For'


Why would that text parse on 'gila two' but not on 'mt-trendy'? Also, I removed every single plugin that I would think had its hooks in the header...nothing is working.

I checked index.tpl and found nothing there that might cause things. Any other areas I can check?

If you switch back from gila_two to mt-trende, does the problem disappear?

You might want to edit your index.tpl template file and remove the '{serendipity_hookPlugin hook="frontend_header"}' call temporary, see if this gets rid of the "Fro".

Got it...


The letter F was on the left side of it and the 'or' was on the right side. It looked like this in the code:
Removed it and I think I'm good.

Also, because of this, I have made up my mind to become a theme creator. I've been using s9y since just before .7.1 and I've fought with adapting themes ever since. I think the best way to understand and limit my time spent on customizing them is to make my own themes. Don't be surprised to see many questions flowing from me on themes after today

Hi!

Well, that's great news! Hope you'll have fun with theming.

How did those "F" and "or" characters get inserted?!?

The F must have stood for 'fatfinger' cuz that's what I must have done.

I remember drag dropping text into notepad2 and messing up a bit so I must have grabbed part of the word "Forum" when I copy and pasted it.

Anyway, Themes away

Good luck with your new template, quite a few of us would be pretty keen to see your work in progress and are available to offer help if you need it.
