I have been customising v6.0.11 for last couple of days and my goal is to have a 100% customised directory. Towards that, while doing so, I have bumped into some issues and have some questions on how to do/achieve certain changes.
The Vol - I of the same is listed below; [Thanks much in advance for any help]
1. URL for 'submit a listing' - category and sub-cat pages have cat-ID associated and other pages does not. Is there a single URL which can be used site-wide in header/wrapper accommodating both cat/sub-cat and other pages?
2. Is there an ability to display sub-categories in a drop down in top-level category display page?
3. Does it have wordpress integration - as in registered members on my directory be able to login to wordpress installation also - particularly if the wordpress is installed in a sub-domain (like blog.blogectory.com)?
4. When using the condition <IF {CATNUMSUB}> - works only for 1st level category pages, but what condition should I use if I want the condition to also include deeper level sub-categories? But the same, when controlled should not appear in non category or sub-category pages.
For example - I tried to move mod/admin controls and sub-cat stats in side panel of displaylinks.tpl to footer in wrapper.tpl. After trying a lot, I got this condition <IF {CATNUMSUB} or {SWITCH_TOPICTYPES} and {CATLINKSHERE}> to be working for now. Is that correct? or is there any specific single condition parameter, which I can use?
5. Can custom page links like this 'http://www.blogectory.com/index.php?custom=yes&TID=pages-aboutus' be made
Search engine friendly like http://www.blogectory.com/aboutus ??
6. Users online, online members, new member on homepage, members list page and elsewhere shows emailID of the member which can be prone to email-scrapping leading to users being scared of their email mis-use. Is there anyway to avoid this display when email login option is enaled?
7. Home page display of category views considers only top level category views. Is there any parameter which I can use to display total combined views of the top level category AND all levels of sub-categories under that top-level category?
7a. Likewise with total categories count including all levels of sub-categories also - is there any parameter which can define that?
8. Return to directory link in iframe brings the user back to home page - instead is it somehow possible to bring the user back to the same page from where he navigated away?
9. Membership status section in details.tpl page - is it visible to users only for a day or a certain duration? I am asking this because one of the links submitted in my dir (www.blogectory.com/society/...f-thoughts-emotions-1.html) used to have that section, but it is not showing up now.
10. Top 'X' Blogs - I have moved this to a separate custom page, but the form action goes to main page - how can I overcome that? Form action should load the same page.
11. Quote source is showing up complete URL - can this be changed to a link with link title as source?
12. POSSIBLE BUG: Enabling the switch 'Combine detail and comments pages'fails to display values/data in the 'membership status section of link details page. It looks like a bug to me in v6.0.11
13. How do I create RSS feeds for each category and sub-category?
14. I need to change the .png to .gif - Where exactly can i change for {CATFOLDERIMAGE} and other such source variables? Basically, I would liek to use gif's instead of png along with changing the default icons. How do go about doing it?
15. When a dot '.' is used in category title - looks like it fails to create a SE friendly URL but instead just inserts catID in the URL like example if I use 'web 2.0'. Any help?
Thanks much for any help. |
