SUPPORT

The number of support requests I am getting for this template is overwhelming. So I will NOT respond to any support requests via email. Please post to the Pixelpost HELP forum. I am constantly answering the same 2 or 3 questions, so if they are on the forum, you can search for them first. Please tag any forum posts with "theworldin35mm" so its easy to search later.

AGAIN, I WILL NOT ANSWER SUPPORT REQUESTS VIA EMAIL. HELP FORUM ONLY. SEARCH FIRST.

CHANGELOG

v1.2

• Changed javascript around to fix bug when image titles have single quotes in them. Note: double quotes in an image title will not work with this template.
• Adjusted CSS to have a single class that determines page width to make it easier to adjust to different image sizes
• Fixed theworldin35mm.php addon to not use my old google analytics site id that I left in there by mistake in v1.1 and v1.0
• Other various minor and small tweaks since v1.1

INSTALLATION

6. Copy the theworldin35mm folder in your templates directory in the Pixelpost installation.
7. Choose theworldin35mm template in options menu in the Pixelpost ADMIN pages.
8. Create a file called ".htaccess" (without quotes) in the base of your Pixelpost installation.
9. Modify your .htaccess file with rewrite rules shown below

MOD REWRITE RULES

IMPORTANT -- The following text needs to go in the .htaccess file.

(NOTE: .htaccess file starts with a dot!!! and RewriteBase needs to the path in the URL, e.g. if your website is http://example.com/pixelpost/, then RewriteBase should be "RewriteBase /pixelpost/", not "RewriteBase /")

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(about|downloads)/?$ index.php?x=$1
RewriteRule ^browse/?$ index.php?x=browse&pagenum=1
RewriteRule ^browse/([1-9][0-9]*)/?$ index.php?x=browse&pagenum=$1
RewriteRule ^browse/category/([1-9][0-9]*)/?$ index.php?x=browse&category=$1
RewriteRule ^browse/category/([1-9][0-9]*)/([1-9][0-9]*)/?$ index.php?x=browse&category=$1&pagenum=$2
RewriteRule ^browse/archive/(19|20)([0-9][0-9])[-](0[1-9]|1[012])/monthname/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?x=browse&archivedate=$1$2-$3&monthname=$4
RewriteRule ^browse/archive/(19|20)([0-9][0-9])[-](0[1-9]|1[012])/monthname/([^/]+)/([1-9][0-9]*)/?$ index.php?x=browse&archivedate=$1$2-$3&monthname=$4&pagenum=$5

COMMON PROBLEMS

404 ERRORS on any page but homepage (index.html).

1. You didn't correctly setup mod_rewrite. You need to create a file called '.htaccess' (without quotes) in the root of your pixelpost installation. Make sure the RewriteBase is correct (see above).
2. You have Apache without mod_rewrite module. See your administrator.
3. You have Microsoft IIS without mod_rewrite module.

I CANNOT SAY THIS ENOUGH. YOU NEED PROPER MOD_REWRITE SUPPORT IN YOUR WEBSERVER TO USE THIS THEME WITH THE SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY (MOD_REWRITE) URLS
