hi,
is there any way to edit the keywords without having to delete and reassign them to every article??

And you’re right — those alt attributes are wrong — I can’t believe I’ve never noticed this! Thanks!

James,

did you ever figure out how to fix this ALT text problem?

Also, the problem mentioned in the couple other posts with two tag errors appearing at the top of the page is real – it comes from doc-head-b, where author and content tags are out of txp_article context; I had to just remove them from there, but maybe there is something that can be done about it while still keeping them there?

Many thanks for your excellent template and helpful tips in this thread.

Hi Mike and others,

- I don’t think there’s an ALT attribute problem after all. I think what you (and I) were seeing was just the link title that appears on hover. That is for the previous image, since the main image has a link wrapped around it. Maybe it should say “click for title” or “click for previous image” or something like that.

- I’ll put that tag error in my list of to-do’s if I get a chance to work on a revision to the template (this January).

Hi everyone,

What a marvellous template. I deleted WordPress and installed Textpattern simply to use it for my new photoblog.

Everything is working fine except for the “about” pages. Quite simply, I do not know how to create the “about” pages.

I have trawled the forum and found that I am not the only person who has struggled/is struggling to get to grips with the “about” pages.

Can someone please provide me with a basic guide to sorting out the “about” pages? They are all that are stopping me launching my site.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi everyone,

I forgot to list my site’s URL: http://www.worwood.net

I am not going to upload all my photos until I have the system sorted.

Thanks,

Mark

Hey Mark,

If you’ve already created an “about” section and pasted/saved the template stuff as an “about” page under the Presentation > Pages tab, all you have to do is post a new article to the about section. By default all new articles are posted to the archive section, so you need to change the section drop-down (in the right-hand column under Sort and Display) to “about.”

You can post multiple articles to the about section; in Widescreen the most recently-dated one will appear up front, and the others will be available as links in the sidebar of the section.

Hi James,

Thanks for your prompt answer to my question.

What you wrote makes perfect sense. Now all that I have to do is tinker with the content.

Cheers,

Mark

hi i have had an instance of this template running for a while now and comments neve worked.
That never bothered me but these days its starting to get a bit of traffic so i really want to get this working. Before if i added a comment the layout would break all over the place. Then I had the site modified a bit. Now If i try to add a comment now it will just say commenting closed for this article although the accept comments preference is set to yes.
Can anyone tell me if they’ve had a similar experience or where to start trouble shooting.

here is the url to see for yourself.

That’s weird. It sounds like a Textpattern issue. Is “accept comments” set to Yes in Admin > Preferences?

kvnmcwebn · 2007-12-18 16:42:49

hi james,
problem fixed. embarrassed to say that i wasn’t turning commenting on the individual article pages. …

edited to put up an html page of the problem:

Aloha.

I have setup the widescreen, but have a strange looking ‘message form’ in comments. Is it due some css problems or other things?

I have one picture uploadet with: 700 .

Site URL: http://www.dirkov.com/

Can anybody help?

Regards ulves

Hi, I am captured by widescreen too. All running well , except the images don’t show:
i get:
<ol id=“thumbs”>
<li><a href=“http://jakbop.nfshost.com/widescreen/archive/2/brave-son-ralph-infant-on-car” title=“Brave Son Ralph Infant on Car”>
<img src=“http://jakbop.nfshost.com/widescreen/
images/t.jpg”

for picture and thumbnail, as if the custom-field 1 was empty, but it isn’t.

Actually this is the second install i made on the same server, with the same result (at first I tried putting it in with my root textpattern installation, but then decided to go for a dedicated second engine in a widescreen folder after reading a post by James)..it got too confusing anyway.

Well I definatley need help with this. THis is the best, as if I wrote it myself!(joking).
Cheers, JOhn

….I suppose it’s something to do with this tag, in the form=“archive”:

<img src=”<txp:site_url />
images/<txp:custom_field name=“Image-ID” />t.jpg”
alt=“Thumbnail of <txp:title />” /></a>

My custom field is labelled “Image-ID”, and the image id “2” is there in the images folder, uploaded.
I can see the image ID and view the image in the content/images list, with thumbnail.

bolly · 2008-01-05 07:10:15

Well, I tried substituting the <img src=”…> code for <txp:custom_field name=“Image-ID” /> and placed <txp:image id=“2” /> in the Image-ID custom-field

But still no success- an empty string. I can only think there must be a problem with the SQL and image urls, returning an empty field.
