Just what you need.

How to

1. include more posts than one on the front page?

2. Display full posts in the archive instead heading?

Hi all,

I read that the manual used to be on the dream-scape.com website, so I went to the Internet archive

http://web.archive.org/web/200712260...t/install.html

The manual and most of the screenshots are still there...

Perhaps someone can move them to another site?

This is exactly what I'm looking for. How do I do this?

Hello;

I was wondering if someone can help me with my little alignment problem. Below is what I posted to the template thread thinking that the template could be adjusted to fit the content.

Thank You

And here is the response:

If there is a support thread for this mod, can you please tell them that they have forgotten the:

<div class="centerColumn"> and </div> that is supposed to surround all content of the site? That is your issue. (If you view the source of any other page in zen cart, you'll see that code.

Could someone point me in the right direction on which file(s) and where to make the necessary changes.

Thank You Again

Hi Chris,

If you go to all the files in the includes/templates/template_default/templates folder of this mod:

tpl_news_archive_default.php
tpl_news_article_default.php
tpl_news_comments_default.php
tpl_news_default.php

you'll see they all start with a <table>.

So, right before the first <table> add this:

<div class="centerColumn" id="news">

and then at the very end of the file, after the ?> add this:

</div>

Without having this installed to test it, can't guarantee of the result, but give it a try.

Thank You Jade!!! That code worked perfectly.

Hi all,

This is a bit of a newbie question but I've been hunting for hours with no luck.

I'm trying to turn off the post comments to news articles because I can't stop the spam comments. I'm getting over 20 a day!

I've tried making it so that people could only post if logged in but that hasn't helped.

I'm running the latest version of Zen Cart.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I recommend the search this thread facility towards the top of this page (different from search an below it). This would have led your to post #7, which deals with this problem (bug).
