About page?

[GregWilkerPhoto]

I kinda feel bad I keep on starting new topics... but i looked around for awhile before posting this.

I want to add an about page - i know I can make one with out a hitch but I'm having a problem - im not sure but how can i get the <tags> like number of photos <number_of_photos_tag> to show up on my about page? is there a template or something - cause there is a browse etc is there an about tag also that i haven't seen?

:D

It can be done but you need pixelpost to read the html-file for your about page.
Look near the top of the script and see if you can figure it out quick.

Let me know otherwise and I'll help you.

case "":
$tpl = file_get_contents("templates/".$cfgrow['template']."/image_template.html");
break;
case "ref":
$tpl = file_get_contents("templates/".$cfgrow['template']."/referer_template.html");
break;
okay so what i would do is this?
case "":
$tpl = file_get_contents("templates/".$cfgrow['template']."/image_template.html");
break;
case "ref":
$tpl = file_get_contents("templates/".$cfgrow['template']."/referer_template.html");
break;
case "about":
$tpl = file_get_contents("templates/".$cfgrow['template']."/about_template.html");
break;

is this correct?

[pixelpunk]

Yes, that looks correct :)

Okay, I've done that too, but I don't know how to link to the about page now.

What do I need to do to create a link that will display the about page?

[Birdie]

Never mind. I think I figured it out.

<a href="index.php?x=about">About</a>.

If anyone knows of a reason why that is wrong please let me know. Otherwise I'll assume it's okay!

Cheers,
Birdie

PS (Is there a place that has a listing of people who are using Pixelpost? Might be nice to see who else is using and compare layouts/designs, etc.)

Hey Birdie

If you hit the 'View all sites'-link at the bottom of the big green "Photoblogs Running Pixelpost" column on the front page, you'll find the listing you're looking for :)

How/where would you do this in version 1.5? Not for the about_template, but for the page_template created by the miniCMS addon... or any new _template for that matter? It looks a bit more complicated...
