Main Index View

[siggster]

I'm probably missing something easy but I cannot for the life of me get my main index to show more than one day at a time. I have it configured to show 10 days on main index, but it only shows multiple entries if I blog more than once in a single day.

What am I missing?

Here's my page: StickyStrands

Thanks!

Be sure to have "Days to keep on main index" on your configuration screen set to 10.

Then be sure your 'Main Index Template' contains the {{logbody}} variable.

Thanks for the advice, but both of those are already a go.

Any other suggestions?

Hi Gary

I think the place to look is in your template for grouping of dates. If you look at the source for the page there are more entries present but they're not displayed. There is some strangeness that I don't understand above these entries where the [/BODY] and [/HTML] tags are closed, but that could be just cleverness and I need to do more reading

Regardless I think the place to look will be in the way you're grouping a single date's entries - since it's only showing the first date despite having them all there. I've still got my css training wheels on so sorry I can't narrow it down for you any further - just simply though the scripts are producing the content but something is bent out of shape in your templates from what I can see.

Cheers!

Thanks Stryker. I tried changing things in the footer, header, and a few others to no avail. Unfortunately, I am a dabbler in CSS myself.

During today's attempts, I realized that when I click on Archive, then Archives, then click on a month below Log Archives, it only shows the last entry for that month instead of all the entries.

;D

I found the problem! In the Date Grouping Footer Template and the Archive Date Grouping Footer Template, I had a </div> that wasn't supposed to be there.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Gahh, I hate extra divs. I should have checked for that right away.

I know I mention this all the time, but I really find alot of help with css stuff by using Firebug: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843

Siggster: Thanks for posting back the solution!

While I have use the Firebug Ext for Firefox my favs are:

addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/249
With one look at the icon in the bottom right and you know a page valid or not.

addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60
With this one you can see anything in the page easily and see why it works or not
