PHP includes for Errors, Search, Comments Preview
« Result #1 on Nov 19, 2009, 10:18am »

I've got a site written in php, and everything works well with Greymatter templating-wise, until I get to an Error message, Search page, or try to preview comments, where we go to a cgi file and my php includes (header and footer) disapere. Has anyone found a way to include these type of files when using Greymatter, or can anyone point me to where I can read about a fix?

Thanks, Michelle

Listing Top 5 Entries based on Karma Votes
« Result #2 on Nov 4, 2009, 7:45pm »

I was wondering if it's possible to list the top 5 entries based on karma votes instead of comments?

Check your templates and everywhere you find |AMP| replace it with & then save it.

Sweet! 75 views and no love. What a great forum. Hey, at least if you are having some similar problem post it here. I'm thinking of trashing all this nuts and restarting, or going back through my site and trashing the link, or finding something that has some sort of support. Anybody?

We don't take kindly to that sort of activity here
« Result #5 on Oct 9, 2009, 2:19pm »

I just updated to 1.8.2. I replaced the old gm-authors.cgi with the new one and re-created my login and password. Every time I try to save a change to my template it gives me this error. We don't take kindly to that sort of activity here. Your attempt to break the script has been logged and the administrators have been notified.

GM 1.8.2
Perl 5.8.0
Firefox 3.5.3
OS 10.4.11

Thanks for any help.

Hi Tanner,

Thanks for your reply.

I have to say your page looks fantastic, you have some "real"
skills as a web-designer and its great that you are using those skills to try and help other people. Well done.

The current feeds code is a seperate program gm-rss.cgi that you can get from my site - http://web.petefinnigan.com/gm-rss.htm but as you will read there or in posts on the forum it can be difficult to get it to run sometimes. It does work though and can be used to have native feeds for your GM blog.

Hence the need to build the feeds into GM. I am currently working on this. Originally I wrote an incomplete package called Gm_Feeds.pm which was going to simply build the RDF, RSS or Atom feeds when called but I then left it for a long time (I started Gm_Feeds probably 1.5 years ago - or more, I have not checked) this was turning into quite a complex peice of code.

So last week I started again with a different design. I am building the feeds as templates/connected files. There is probably as much work but the benefits are better as different feeds can be added in the future more easily simply by editing the template and the added functionallity used can be used for different purposes. If you want the beta 1 which has proper URL's for posts - have a look at http://web.petefinnigan.com/gm183/entries/ which is a clean 1.8.3 install, with one post using a "named" URL instead of a padded number like 00000001.htm. If you would like the beta 1 let me have your email address and I will send it to you. My email is in this post sig.

Thanks again for your reply,

Kind regards

Pete

Pete that's awesome. Where can I get gm-feed? I downloaded directly from your site, should I look there? Have a look http://tanner.toceffect.com it's coming along nicely, I think you will be able to see why I wanted GM's simplicity ... it's powerful but not as invasive as Wordpress, Pivot or TypePad

Hi Tanner,

Thanks for your response. I think we are both on the same page now in terms of the possible solution. I have run GM sice 1.3 and I dont remember an advanced parameter to set the logbody width; that of course doesnt mean that there wasnt one. All of the old versions back to 1.2.1 are on my site (http://web.petefinnigan.com/greymatter.htm) but i am not inclined to install them and check..

I have been using GM for about 5.5 years so not as long as you. I have not become Noah Grey. This forum took over from the old greymatterforums site when that one was closed down by flippedcracker. A few of us wanted to keep GM going, Coldstone was the main developer for a few years really moving the code base forward from what it was but he has now dropped away to do other things.

I updated 1.8.2 recently (last week) to add more meaningful post URL;s - (see another thread in this board) and at the moment a couple of people are beta testing that. In parallel I am also building in feeds code. I updated BananaBobs code gm-rss a few years ago to do RDF, RSS2 and Atom but GM really needs built-in feeds. I am building 1.8.3 beta 2 at the moment to add feeds as templates / connected files. I also plan to add categories after that. This will be GM 1.8.3. beta 3 and then we will release. Anyone is welcome to the beta versions along the way of course.

cheers

Pete

Hey Pete,

Originally I had set up
#frame
{
position: absolute;
top: 300px;
left: 55px;
z-index: 100px
}

then called to it with a div id tag.
div id="frame"
{{logbody}}
/div

positioning it absolutely at that location. but the text ran all the way (or nearly) to the right of the entire site. I thought that back in the day there was a special area in the gm menu that was like "advanced templates" or "other templates" where the width of {{logbody}} was defined ... after your post I think I'm vaguely remembering that it was done by html/css in the main index template. So I changed it to this

div id="frame"
table width=550
tr
td
{{logbody}}
/td
/tr
/table
/div

and its seems to work fine. but thanks for the relatively quick response to help. When did Noah Grey become Pete Finnegan anyway? I've been out of the loop for a LONG time
