Two Column News In Categories / Pound Sign Errors / Moving Directories Questions
Thank you! Your support has been amazing from the moment I purchased this software - and now my site is finished! Time to start work on the next one (and don't worry, I shouldn't have to ask any more questions....I don't think!)
* for some reason the above hack is messing with my tables when there is only 1 or 3 stories in a category... I will play with it and see if I can fix that....

Open the story_printer template and replace

with
<title>$insert[story_title] $insert[story_text]</title>

I know you're busy - but how difficult/easy is the two-column category news option? If it's a major hack, don't worry about it for now.....

Ahh, okay. That's great but I also want to keep the story_title in there too. My fault for not being clear enough.
So it's:
story_title and story_text in the Head tag.....
$insert[page_title] = $data[story_title]." ".$data[story_text];

Thanks! That would be great....
Fixed it - great...
Lovely!

story_title and story_text in the Head tag.....
This needs a modification in category.php. I will try to post it later this week.
Thanks! That would be great....
Look like a charset issue. Please try to add <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15" /> in site_header
Fixed it - great...
This is very easy. Just move the site, login in admin, and edit the path to the website in other/config and other/websites.
Lovely!
Open core.php in an editor and find:
$insert[page_title] = $data[story_title];
Then replace this line with:
$insert[page_title] = $data[story_text];
You need to change back $insert[page_title] in the site_header template
