THE FINAL UPDATE – 21st August 2006<\/b><\/p>\n

Template Issues? I don’t think so! More like user error 😉 It turns out that all of my template\/RSS\/blog problems were self-inflicted because I’d stupidly renamed my templates\/default folder to something else. What I hadn’t realised was that, a bit like the DEFAULT profile in an Oracle database, the default template isn’t just the default template, but if files are (deliberately) missing from a template, Serendipity will also check the default directory to see if they’re there. It’s part of a search hierarchy, even when you’re using a different template.<\/p>\n

Here’s the forum discussion<\/a> relating to this. As usual, the *free* support was top notch, so thanks to Garvin and Carl.<\/b><\/p>\n

The good news is that everything should be working fine now, so let me know if it isn’t.<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

I was quite pleased to be able to implement the andreas08 template<\/a> on this blog and integrate it more successfully with the rest of the website<\/a>. Although it works just fine with Firefox, however, there are a couple of problems.<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. The comment submission form has disappeared.<\/li>\n
  2. The emoticon graphics don’t display correctly in Internet Explorer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I went back to the original template yesterday but I’ve decided to put andreas08 in place while I try to fix the problems.<\/p>\n

    Apologies if you want to leave a comment or are an IE user. I will either fix this or revert to the old template but I would also encourage you to use Firefox.<\/p>\n

    As a very small-time HTML developer, I have to say that IE drives me up the wall 😉<\/p>\n

    Updated later – 19th August 2006 – Nah, I give up for now. <\/p>\n

    That template was causing problems with my RSS feed too, so it’s going to be an unintegrated blog at the moment 🙁<\/p>\n

    (Yet another update.) I’ve decided to stick with this template for now to give people in the Serendipity Forums a chance to see if they have any idea what’s going wrong. For what it’s worth I’m not even sure it *is* the template that’s the problem.<\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, that means that comments are effectively disabled for now, but only for a day or two, and then I’ll put a working template back on. In the mean-time, if you have anything you want to say, email me at dougburns@yahoo.com and I’ll post your comment for you.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
