"About"-page on the pixelpost...

[doffer]

I've seen a lot of really nice sites built around the great photoblog; pixelpost. What i wonder is how to make an about page.... Is there some kind of addon, or something that i haven't seen, or do I have du make php filen from scratch?

As far as I know you need to create one from scratch. At least that's what I did.

there is some scripts in the modification section that enables about page.
but if you want a tip read this:

1)add in the index.php file at about line 64 which reads
switch ($_GET['x']) {
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 "browse":
$tpl = file_get_contents("templates/".$cfgrow['template']."/browse_template.html");
break;


these lines

case "about":
$tpl = file_get_contents("templates/".$cfgrow['template']."/about_template.html");
break;
. Thus the overall will be
switch ($_GET['x']) {
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 "browse":
$tpl = file_get_contents("templates/".$cfgrow['template']."/browse_template.html");
break;
case "about":
$tpl = file_get_contents("templates/".$cfgrow['template']."/about_template.html");
break; }

2) create an template file for about with the name "about_template.html"
and put it in the template folder. you can use Pixelpost tags on this template too.

3) link to this about page in your photoblog by
<a href='index.php?x=about'> About </a> [/code]

Thanks a bunch!

Realy helped me :) And now, I even know how to make similar ones, so I'm able to make pages for whatever I want to.

Thanks

Code: About ('index.php?x=about')

:oops: Stoopid newbie question: but how do you create a template file? And how do you link it to your photoblog? Gently please... :?

read FAQ and forum departure hall.
if you use the predefined file names in the predefined organized manner, it will be automatically included.
