hi,

I have created my own copy of the articles.tpl and have redesigned how the articles are shown, i have added an tag where i wanted an article image to be shown, but what is the smarty tags to add these images ?

right now, i do it this way ( until i get the CMS to do it with real smarty tags as the rest of the tpl files uses):

0. hide content of articles plugin with jquery (css=display=none)
1. add html from articles.tpl file ( the cms does that by default )
2. search for all img tags in the articles.tpl files html (by jquery)
3. replace img tags with img tags including src paths to featured images.
4. show articles (css=display=inheit)

but, this is not a good way to show it.. any ideas, commnents ?

Skin editor with Jquery vs. Skin editor with PHP ?

Hi,

I'm working on a new skin for my private site (maybe something i could release here later, if it turns out to be good), and i had an idea to add a settings plugin for my skin, so i could add some small settings to it like this:

On front page, show image slider with featured content ?
- the skin has an build in image slider in jquery.

Do you want to use google web fonts on this skin ?
- all "h1 and so on" tags uses a custom font or a default sans-serif.

Do you want to use the google translate api on your skin ?
- your visitors can translate your content into thir on language.

I could add a "skin settings plugin" to SubDreamer or simply an settings.php file in the skin directory.

All that isn't the problem, but just so you got the idea, but now the "problem", well, its not a problem but you know :)

How sould i load these settings into my skin ?

Should i use Jquery / ajax to call a php file and return the values and then - with jquery add or remove the content on the website.

Or, can i simple enter some PHP in the skin editor to read our the values from the sd database.

Thank you )

Hi,

If possible, i want to change the SMARTY template for my articles to show the featured image beside the article content, .. i have found the articles_list.tpl and articles.tpl files.. no problems there, but what the **** am i suposed to add to get the images stuff working :confused:

If i had anymore hair on my head.. it would be grey or gone now.. :confused::confused:
