Need help install Text archive

[Mettemor1968]

Hello
Need some help here, I would likt to have Text Archive, but I dont understand the instructions (yes, I´m new....):

The Text Archive addon will display the archive of your photoblog in a text list sorted by month. There is also another tag that will allow you to show your categories in the same type of view but sorted by category name.

Instructions:

1. Put text_archive.php in your addons folder.
2. Put <TEXTARCHIVE> on a template. Although you can use the browse template, I would suggest making another html template so you can still use the browse page for thumbnails. For the category archive, use <CATEGORYTEXTARCHIVE>


Number 1 I understand, but nr.2, can anyone explaine for me exactly what to do?

Thank you!

#2 is telling you to create a new _template.html file, similar to image_template.html, browse_template.html, etc. that are already in your theme folder.

Open browse_template.html in a plain text editor. Click "save as" and select the name you want to use for it, i.e. textarchive_template.html, and save it to the folder that your theme is in, inside the templates folder.

Now edit textarchive_template.html, and replace the <BROWSE_XX> tags with the <TEXTARCHIVE> or <CATEGORYTEXTARCHIVE> tag, whichever one it is you are wanting to display on that page, and save your changes.

Upload textarchive_template.html to your theme's folder on the server. You should then be able to link to that page by using the url http://www.yourdomain.tld/pp-folder/index.php?x=textarchive (replace yourdomain.tld and pp-folder with the correct names for your website.

Hope this helps! :)

I did exactly what you said, but all I got up with was this blank side http://www.mettebrandt.com/pixelpost/addons/text_archive.php?x=textarchive
But were do I put that link so the archive can be displayed?

[kevincrafts]

You have your url wrong it should be something like this: http://www.mettebrandt.com/pixelpost/index.php?x=textarchive

[Mettemor1968]

Ok, that seem to be a page. But, as you see, there is no textarchive there. How do I get my archive like this http://blog.kevincrafts.com/index.php?x=list
And where do I put that correct link?

[kevincrafts]

You have the tag wrong - you have <BROWSE_TEXTARCHIVE> when it should just be <TEXTARCHIVE>

[Mettemor1968]

That´s it, it worked!
Now I´m very happy.
Thanks again!

[Mettemor1968]

How do you do that?

[kevincrafts]

just put both the tags on the same page

[Mettemor1968]

Do I put them aside, and what will be the link to the page? When I put the aside, only the one I wright first will show, not the second....

[Mettemor1968]

How can I put the side by side?

[kevincrafts]

You can use tables or css to put the content into two columns

Of course, thank you
