    I'll try to take a closer look tomorrow, but did you change anything in the main CSS file? It looks like you only changed the images so try replacing the rest of the CSS with the original.

    I did but it still remains the same...
    i also don't know why the header is not appearing when clicking on the comments link or basically on every link except the contact/home/archive and about links...????

    You caught me at a really bad time dawg because I'm really busy with schoolwork these days.

    I took a quick look at your CSS file and did your try setting a width on the "#main" div? Something like 48ems might do the trick for now until I have enough time to figure out what the problem is.

    You sure? I just tried it with the web developer extension and it seemed to do the trick...I'll take a closer look tonight.

    Please, excuse me for not reacting - I'm being constantly busy with my work and university.

    You can always restore the original page and css code and try again, checking everything with every small step you do.

    To change the header graphics, you simply need to change the corresponding files in the images folder - that's all. You can also change the header height in the CSS if you want. I really don't know what complications could arise with such a simple procedure.

    Well I did just copy your original sources back (header & css file) but the problem was still the same, so I don't know what it is and I can't remember what i changed else..
    thanks for your reply

    ok works now with the tables, something was missing in the header..
    but i got another question as you can see, my header changes after each refresh so there's always a different image appearing, to do this i put the following line into the head form:
    <style type="text/css">
    #header
    {background-image:url('header<?php echo rand(1, 3); ?>.gif');
    width:700px;
    height:200px;


    }</style>

    so i get 3different images, the problem is that i have to remove the single image in the css file, so its not overlaying the other images appearing, this works fine when only visiting the contact,archive,about pages but when i click on the comments or any link in the right navigation, there's no header appearing , so how can i change this, so that the header is always refering to the code i put into the head form??

    though why is the atom link not working?? the rss feed and links rss feeds seem to be working but i still don't really know what that is, could anyone explain me what you can do with the downloaded files???

    They do not need to be downloaded. There are special programs called feed aggregators that use various feed URL's to fetch latest entries on corresponding websites and present it to the user for comfortable reading.

    Wake Your Daughter Up is a *section* in which you have posted that article. But that category pages display entries in the default, article section, not the one you created.

    so what do i have to do to change this, because i got the same problem with all those categories because i also want to write article for the reviews categroies, interviews etc... so it's always the same problem or should i just replace the categories links with the section links...?

    ok well i just changed the navigation links manually so they don't display the category pages anymore, so the only thing i would need to know is how i can change that, that only the news and site updates articles are displayed on the mainpage....

    If you are posting "News" and "Site Updates" as separate sections, then you need to ensure that the sections are set to show on the home page from the sections area under presentation.
    • CommentAuthordawg
    • CommentTimeMay 20th 2006
     
    no it's the same section(articles) they or just categories ,it already wokrs but i want that only those to categories are displayed on the frontpage because i also like to post reviews, editorials etc as articles...

    Then use the <txp:article_custom /> tag. You'll find what you need at the "Textbook":http://textpattern.net/.

    • CommentAuthordawg
    • CommentTimeMay 21st 2006
     
    well i did it like that now, turned article on mainpage off,
    and put this into the default pages:
    txp:if_article_list>
    <txp:article_custom category="Hip-Hop-News" />
    <txp:article_custom category="Site-Updates" />
    <p><txp:older>Previous</txp:older> <txp:newer>Next</txp:newer></p>
    </txp:if_article_list><br>

    but the thing is that now the site-updates come under the new but i want them to come together like the order i'm posting them...
