Question...

[softball29]

I'm using a default template -- the pixelpost dark. Anyway, I've noticed no where on the main page with my photo can you see the date the photo was published. Is there any way of having this shown? Thanks!

Use the tag <IMAGE_DATETIME> to display the date/time of images

[edit] or just <IMAGE_DATE> for just the date

Where would I put this?

[codepoit]

put that tag in your image_template.html where ever you would want the date to show up. It would help if you gave a link to your site, I might be able to get more specific, but you will probably want to put this tag where you have some other image information (description, title, comments, etc...)

[softball29]

I've just sent you a PM, too. But I put "<IMAGE_DATETIME>" in at a point, then checked my blog and that's what came up -- <IMAGE_DATETIME>. Not the real date/time etc.

I have a feeling I need something else?

[codepoit]

can you put that tag back in and let me see what it displays on your site? Or better yet, can you copy/paste the contents of your image_template.html? Either post it here, or send me another PM...

[softball29]

Not sure if I'm even going to the right place. But I go into my webplace, then the blog area, then to templates. Once there, I found the skin I'm using and then found the image_template.html. Hope that's the right one.

Anyhoo...

I've added the coade back into it. So you can check my site and see what it looks like. Also, I've PMd you what is in the file. Thanks again for any help!

[codepoit]

Okay...judging by the information you sent in PM, you aren't working with the correct file, or possibly aren't looking at the file correctly. How are you viewing the image_template file? In notepad, or FrontPage, or some other HTML editor?

[softball29]

When I select "edit" from my FTP program, it opens it with Frontpage.

[codepoit]

ok...at the bottom of frontpage, click on the HTML or code view. Once you are looking at the code view, add the tag in question to the spot where you want it. Don't forget to remove the tag from the preview view where it is now...

Let me know if that helps...

[softball29]

Worked!

Now, while I have an ear. ;) A couple of other quick questions. I have tried to changed the date to my liking, but can't seem to get it to work (I'd like it to say "Posted on July XX, 2006" if possible, but not sure what king of changes I would have to do?

Also, is there a way to make it so the comments thing isn't a popup, rather just expands below for people to post?

Thanks again for all the help!

[codepoit]

for the date format, go into your PP admin page, go to the Options tab and then click on Template. The date format needs to be entered in PHP format, and there's a link in there to take you to the different codes and what they will display. It may take a little playing to get it exactly the way you want it...it can be confusing at times ;)

To get it to say "Posted on" before the date, just type "Posted on" in your image_template code directly before the date tag you are using, and that should work. There is a better way to do it, but that should suffice for now :)

As for the comments displaying inline rather than via a popup, search the forum here for inline comment display (or something similar) and you should find how to do that. I'm not 100% sure, since I like to use the popup method.

[softball29]

I've played with the date thing and for some reason it stays the way it is no matter what. No biggie, I can deal with it. I'm just glad I got it up.

Thanks again for all your help and I'll look for the inline stuff!

[softball29]

Ugh.

I'm back and figured I'd keep going on this thread, hopefully.

I submitted my site to a few blog rings things. But everytime I register and it goes and finds things out, it comes up as a "Pixelpost blog" not what I changed the name of it to. I've been all over the templates and all and can't find where to do it.

Anyone have any ideas?

[codepoit]

I noticed that, too. To change the title of your site, go to your PP admin page, go to Options and change the Title there. That should do it...

It can be read from RSS channel and codepoit wrote above process of changing.
