New template from my blog

[robackja]

I made my template (modified from treeswing.net), mostly uses mod_rewrite were possible without modifying any pixelpost code.

sorry, i should have note, I am having some issues with IE6/7 with my template, and i don't have access to a windows computer as of right now. I will try to resolve the issues later tonight.

currently, firefox (mac/linux), safari (mac) and opera seem to work fine.

Your template seems very clean and simple, and I love the mod_rewrite work. I'd highly recommend you post your template/adodn/hacks to the Extend section. That way It will get much more exposure.

Just go to: http://www.pixelpost.org/extend/admin/ and login with your forum username/password, and you will be able to upload the files.

thanks. and yea, as soon as i work out the IE6/7 issues I will definitely post it there. I wanted to give a once-around here in the forums before posting it on the main site

How were you able to get the links on the archive page to output in your format without modifying any Pixelpost code?

That's a good point, I should have made it clearer. paged_archive.php is a addon, I modified it so the thumbnails link to the mod_rewrite URLs, but the categories and dates on the left, still use the old URLs. I left all base pixelpost 1.7.1 code alone.

This is the kind of thing I wanted to work out before posting to the main site, so thanks for pointing this out.

I am going to try and clean up the "paged_archive" addon and bundle this all together with a readme (in one ZIP file)... and between sed, grep, and/or awk, I should be able to cleanup ALL the URLs in paged_archive.php rather quickly. I post back when I made the changes. and thanks again. i've been in-and-out of this template so much lately, I've forgotten things I've done (and haven't done)..

I didn't realise the treeswing.net template was available? I think you've done a nice job but it's had some trouble loading the image fully.

[robackja]

The treeswing template isn't *available* per se. I just copied the general layout using the same javascript for the comment hiding and the same/similar fonts.

at this point its heavily modified and my template is entirely XHTML 1.1 valid. but it was my starting point and i really admire Sean's work, that is why he is credited in my about page.

Hopefully Sean McKendall won't mind.

Yea sean already visited and commented on a few of my photos, so I think it's ok. Imitation is the most sincere form flattery.
