Hello!
I installed the mosaic add-on and I would love to make it the default page the index.php is loading. But the problem is that if I hack the index.php putting mosaic_template.html instead of image_template.html all the thumbnails in the site don't work anymore (they don't open the linked image).
Is there any hack or idea to solve my problem? I think it could be usefull for everyone!
Thanx a lot for the support,
peace,
Aria

Here is a pretty simple solution that should do the trick quite well.

Simply open up the file ./includes/pixelpost.php and add these lines near the bottom:

if(!isset($_GET['x']) AND !isset($_GET['showimage'])){
$_GET['x'] = 'mosaic';
}


Then save the changes and re-upload the file.

Now your default page will be "mosaic".

Likewise, if you wanted your default index page to be the about page, you could do this:
if(!isset($_GET['x']) AND !isset($_GET['showimage'])){
$_GET['x'] = 'about';
}

Hey Jay Williams,

Any other pretty simple solution for the entry page to start at index.php#photobox?

Thanks a lot,
Diogo

Dennis created an addon :

Thanks for the tip, but that particular addon doesn't allow me to setup the entry page at index.php#photobox.

peace!

The easiest way to auto-jump to a specific anchor point would be use Javascript.

Something like this should work:
<body onLoad="window.location = '#photobox'">
(not tested)

<?php


// database variables - this is info you've received from you hosting service
// those are needed for the script to connect and use MySQL

$pixelpost_db_host = "xxx"; // database host, often "localhost"
$pixelpost_db_user = "xxx"; // database user
$pixelpost_db_pass = "xxx"; // database user password
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "xxx"; // database

$pixelpost_db_prefix = "xxx"; // table prefix, leave as is unless you want to install multiple blogs on the same database


// Make changing starting site

if(!isset($_GET['x']) AND !isset($_GET['showimage'])){
$_GET['x'] = 'about';
}
?>

It dosn´t work :(

It should work, if it doesn't try turning off your addons, and test it then. It's possible an addon is interfering with the code.
