Pixelpost

I'm probably being pig-headed but I'm having trouble creating my own teplate.

The thing is I've already got a site running with a template I'm happy with (http://www.mezhopking.com). What I want to do is put the relevant code into this template.

I've tried this, by simply copying and pasting the code from the original pixelpost template into a div on my template. I've created the relevant file, uploaded it and selected it from the options in pixelpost admin. But when I come to view www.mezhopking.com/photoblog/index.php - all i get is a blank screen.

Below is the code i'm using for my index.php maybe someone could shed some light on my problem. All the other php stuff is wordpress stuff and my includes. Is there a comprehensive guide out there which I can follow?

The CODE:

<?php
/* Don't remove this line. */
require('../../../wp-blog-header.php');
?>

I am really astonished, what are you doing?

the system works like that:

in the template-folder you have directories with the respective templates
these templates are shown in the "template-select-box" in the "GENERAL OPTIONS"

when you choose one of these templates (you must), the formatting part of this template is merged by the index.php and the output is generated when the browser calls this index.php to deliver output

you should never touch the index.php unless you know PHP

I assume somehow you took the browser-output of the index.php and formatted that and uploaded it back to your server?????

by this you are cutting off all the logic, the program at all!

no wonder, it doesn't work

please read
http://www.pixelpunk.se/software/for...wtopic.php?t=3 and follow this instructions, otherwise you will get more and more lost

:twisted:

Make sure your template has the corrent name, ie image_template.html for the main page.

Pixelpost do not evaluate and run php inside a template, this might be the problem since you have much of that stuff inside.

I believe this can be fixed by just changing the
echo $tpl;
to eval($tpl);

But don't take my word for it, but try that. You find the line close to the bottom of the index.php file.

Let me know how it goes.
