Thumbnails in the main page instead of image

[Umbi]

It's kind of funny,

Pixelpost is very flexible but I got lost in such a simple point:

when you load up the blog it points to the first pic of your gallery.

I do not want that.

I want it to point to the thumbnails of my gallery.

That is:

at the moment when you point to http://www.myblogsite.net
it triggers the showimage option pointing to the last loaded image in the gallery, e.g

http://www.myblogsite.net/index.php?showimage=21

Instead I want it to show whatever it is at the following:

http://www.myblogsite.net/index.php?x=browse&category=2


why is that so difficult?

It is the most obvious thing you would do, showing the gallery and not the first pic.....

what am I missing?

Can anybody help on this?

I looked in the forum but I could not find any help on this....

Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!

I asked the same question a few days ago. This is the way you can change the startup page :

And now, thanks to one of the developers of Pixelpost, Dennis, you can set the entry page with an addon.

So that's yet another way to get the job done.

Wow ... really easy now. Thanks Dennis !

The piece of code worked better for me, for some reason the addon gives me blank page...i t must be because of some changes I made in the code, certainly not an issue with the addon!

Thanks for your hint guys....

the only thing I have left is that I cannot set up the category I want,
in the sense that if I use

if(!isset($_GET['x']) AND !isset($_GET['showimage'])){
$_GET['x'] = browse&category=2';
}


the page does not load, it gives me "The page cannot be found "....

However your reply is of a great help.

Thanks a lot!

If you want too set a category too, do this:


if(!isset($_GET['x']) AND !isset($_GET['showimage'])){
$_GET['x'] = 'browse';
$_GET['category'] = '2';
}

It doesn't support browsing categories yet, but I think I'll manage to create a workaround for this.

Look for the next version to have this option.

you rock!

Jay that works perfectly!

Dennis many thanks for looking into that.

Mowopi many thanks to you too!
