Geeklog Forums

Hi everyone...

I just downloaded and have been playing around with geeklog. Excellent tool!!

I am needing a bit of help though with customizing the front screen of my blog... I am using the updated version of the "clean" template, and I have implemented a static page as a welcome to the blog, but right under it is a section for new news items that I want to remove.

Here is a link to a screenshot of what I'm referring to with an arrow to the section that I am talking about...

What I need to know is either where in the admin can this section be turned off or what file and what code do I need to look for in order to remove it so that the only thing that appears is the static page message above it.

TIA for your help!

If you want to have nothing but the static page in the center area, you can set the static page to cover the "whole page"* under the text input field where it asks about its position.

*sorry, german geeklog here, don't know the exact phrase

geKow....thanks, but unfortunately when I changed it to that it literally took the whole page...the rest of the template, columns, etc were gone...it was only that message for the whole page rather than only the center area.

There's another option, "page format", where you select whether it should display all the side blocks, the lefts blocks only or none at all (you must have selected the latter).

See if the documentation makes it any clearer what the options are for.

bye, Dirk

Perfect! Between changing the "page format" and the "position" that geKow mentioned in his post yesterday...it worked!!

When I did my first static page yesterday I had changed the "page format" to "blank page" not understanding what it did. So I changed it back to "left and right blocks" and now it looks great!

Always learnin' something new!!


Thanks Dirk!
