Here\'s the problem isol8

Hi again isol8, here\'s your problem..

Believe it or not, it\'s *NOT* the double slashes that are causing your
problem. Instead, you\'ll need to check that the appropriate directory
exists and is readable..

ie: /home/isol8or/public_html/geeklog/plugins/staticpages/templates/
admin

If the directory doesn\'t exist, you\'ll need to copy it over from your Static
Pages V1.1 download.

FYI (the double slashes):
You\'ll find that the double slashes are treated as a single slash by PHP
when parsing file paths - a good way to demo this would be to go into
your config file and do something like this:
$_CONF[\'path\']= \'/home//isol8or//public_html//geeklog/\';

You\'d (naturally) expect it to break everything, but of course it doesn\'t.

Conventionally, double slashes like the above are a bad idea, and should
always be avoided.

Either way, the Static Pages V1.1 plugin will operate exactly as it should
regardless of the double slashes in the template path - (the presence of
the admin dir is evaluated by the template class using is_dir() which
succeeds even with the double slashes throughout).

Cheers,
Phill.

thanks phill, it worked.
i think because my original paths are all somewhat incorrect, the directories were copied into the wrong folders.
but thanks again for the help and for working on such a cool project.
