Geeklog Forums

i've been using and testing CMS portal and blog tools and i want to say that geeklog rocks.

i only missing a feature to permalinks, i mean, it's good to search engine permalinks with name, like the name of post.

I don't know, maybe it's easy to modify, but i'm newbie with PHP.

So, it's my suggestion:

Give option to change "article.php?story=20060319043305796"
to "article.php?story=name-of-article"

It's right there in the Admin's story editor ...

And that's not a "permalink" at all, it's only the story's id. Geeklog gives the story a date-based id by default, but you're free to change it at any time.

Thanks Dirk,

And how can i put a tag to show this in every post?
i mean, something like permalink:http://site.com/article.php?story=name-of-article?

In the Professional theme, the story's title is already a link to the article page. You could change the stylesheet to make that more visible.

Or add something like to the story template files. Add some HTML if you want it clickable. Basically, {article_url} is the story's URL. More variables here.

bye, Dirk

Thanks again Dirk.

That`s a good idea especially for people who are used to the word permalink like typepad.com users, e.g. http://customerevangelists.typepad.com/ As one can`t click the headline of a story it is badly necessary to tell people where the permalink is.

I changed it now under my stories www.hallomarkus.de to show a "permalink" and I think it is more attractive that any trackback sign. I understand easily the indirect message "link this article".

nice, 1000ideen , you need to put it manually in your posts? or you edit the article.php?

I think i gonna do the same in http://fotocomedia.com
I don't need comments...

thanks

You need to change the storytext.thtml and featuredstorytext.thtml. I changed this

You may also drop the comments.

nice.

do u know which tag is "send to a friend"?

i found {email_icon} but i don't want to use image, i want text like "send to friend"

thanks

That looks a bit more complex to replace. Maybe you just exchange the graphics? Make a mail.png with the text in it.
