Hello,
I just installed pixelpost and I really like it. But I have one question:
Is it possible to set one specific image as custom frontpage picture, instead of the latest image?
If anyone knows how to do it, that would be great.
My ideal solution would be if in the backend you can just check an image somewhere that always shows up on the frontpage, and if nothing's checked, the latest image will be used.
So if anyone has any ideas...
Cheers!

Check out this link: http://www.schonhose.nl/pixelpost-addons/entrypage/
It allows you to make a custom front/entry page. What you could do is:
1. copy the code from your image_template.html file
2. create a new template file (i.e. frontpage_template.html)
3. go to the 'options' page in your admin to change the entry page to your new frontpage_template.html
4. paste the code from the image_template file into your new frontpage_template file
5. adjust the code to point to the image you'd like to display
Voila!
Hope that helps-

set the images to cycle in alphabetical order.
then rename the one you want to show on the front page too [alt+0160]imagetitle

You have to copy the folder _entrypage to the addons directory of your Pixelpost installation. Then you have to enable the addon and follow the instructions.
