Emergency Question

I am new to textpattern. I just installed it on my test website to see how it works. I looked through the admin control panel but still I cna’t figure out how to do what I am trying to do.

Look at the layout of my website http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/9092/maotemplate2copy3zg3.jpg

I want to have a new system on the main page where multiple admins can post news topics.

Alos, on the navigation on th right, I want a small calendar just like the one you see here http://www.guidetothecity.org/austin/home .

If possible, I aslo want to be able to have a mini poll on the right side of the layout.

Also, I want to create a gallary like this one but users being able to comment them http://www.durchgedreht24.de/galerie/

How would I do all these things?

Re: Emergency Question

Based on what I read and understood, Textpattern is not for me. Textpatter is more of a jornal based stuff. It just about posting up articles and stuff. My website is not based on this.

Re: Emergency Question

Actually, it’s a sophisticated and versatile micro-content CMS. Good luck funding something that fits your eeds.

Re: Emergency Question

But I am still trying to figure out how I can get that calendar system like the one found on this site http://www.guidetothecity.org/austin/ . Also, I just want another simple add on for my site which is a picture gallery with a commenting feature.

You have to help yourself just a little bit… You can do it… search is your friend…

  1. mdp_calendar
  2. zem_event
  3. rss_thumbpop
  4. photoblog

That took me all of 1.5 minutes using (you guessed it) the Search feature.

Good luck

Re: Emergency Question

The last link you gave me, photoblog, is that for only textpattern? Can I use it with using textpattern?

Re: Emergency Question

You’ll notice…

  1. The site is called Textgarden
  2. There are about twenty references to Textpattern on the page
  3. If you examine the file from the download, it tells you explicitly how to install it

So yes, it’s for textpattern.

The answers to these questions you are asking are self-evident. You’re going to have to expend some effort yourself. Try stuff out, it’s really easy

Re: Emergency Question

no, you can use widescreen with Textpattern. Textgarden is a site for textpattern templates.
