Have you figured out how to fix the login bar yet?

Sorry, haven’t had time to work on it yet. I’ll post an updated version of the template when I find a fix.

I could also use some help setting up this template because i keep running into problems.

You’ll have to be more specific about what kind of help you’re looking for.

Kyle, I can tell by looking at your site that you’ve probably done something to the CSS. I can’t troubleshoot it for you, but If you’ve been making changes without really knowing what you’re doing I’d suggest downloading the template again and then comparing the original CSS file to your modified version. Look particularly at the width attributes. If that doesn’t work, look at the main .tpl files and see if you’ve done something to a tag there.

Good luck!

How do you get the nav bar to display this month this week ect?

You’ll find it in index_center.tpl, the lines that look like this:

{if $setmeka eq "month"}

What should I do with the code above because it is not located in the file by default

Mark, you’ll have to tell me what you’re trying to do. The code is in the index_center.tpl file and you should be able to put it in other *_center.tpl files if you want, though it may or may not work as expected.

what program do I use to open .tpl files?

Peter, you can use any text editor to edit .tpl files, as long as it saves plain text (e.g., don’t try to edit them with Word).

That code is not in the file when you download it

Mark, you’re right. I’m sorry for the confusion; I was looking at my other template, FuturePligg Solemnity. In UpstartAqueous, the code you are looking for is in the header.tpl file. You can move it to the index_center.tpl file if you’d rather display it under the header navigation menu. Take a look at the FuturePligg template to see an example.

Is there anything else that I need to do to the code to get it to work because right now when I click on one of them it just returns all the stories and not just the ones in the selected time period

Mark: sorry you’re having so much trouble. My instructions may not have been clear. You need to make sure to grab the entire if/else statement.

{if $setmeka eq "upcoming"}

{/if}


It may or may not work wherever you put it, depending on what else is in the file.

ok thanks it works now.

Great, Mark! Sorry for the confusion.

Mark, I’m stumped. There’s no reason the categories shouldn’t show up. I would need to see your files to troubleshoot it. But I suspect you’ve edited something because there’s something wrong with your nav. It only displays Upcoming Sites. Maybe you accidently deleted something that you need for displaying categories?

Mark, if you’re using the latest version of the template, you should be running Pligg beta 9.1.

Mark, you’re getting the error because Pligg beta 9.1 doesn’t use shakeit.php. I must have missed that when updating the template. Until I get a chance to fix it, just go in and replace all instances of shakeit.php with upcoming.php. That should fix it.

Eddie, to change the look of the site, look in the .tpl files for the tags, then edit the main.css file. For the header, it sounds like you want to change the subnav formatting, so just look in the CSS file and change the background color.

Brian, thanks for your comment. The info about topstories.php is no longer relevant. Beta 9.1 did away with that.

Also, the problem you’re having with broken links is probably due to another change in Beta 9.1. It no longer uses shakeit.php. You can replace shakeit.php with upcoming.php and things should work. I’ll post a fix for this. If you still have a problem after updating to Upstart Aqueous 0.3, it’s a problem with your .htaccess file.

Thanks for bringing these issues to my attention!

Scot, I see what you mean. I don’t have time to work on this now, but I suspect I may accidently have deleted some links when I updated the template to 0.3. Until I can fix this, you can add the following code to the header.tpl file after {if $isadmin eq 1}…{/if}:

{if $pagename eq “upcoming”}
{#PLIGG_Visual_Pligg_Sort_News_By#}:
{if $paorder eq “” || $paorder eq “newest”}{#PLIGG_Visual_Pligg_Newest_St#}{else}{#PLIGG_Visual_Pligg_Newest_St#}{/if} |
{if $paorder eq “oldest”}{#PLIGG_Visual_Pligg_Oldest_St#}{else}{#PLIGG_Visual_Pligg_Oldest_St#}{/if} |
{if $paorder eq “mostpopular”}{#PLIGG_Visual_Pligg_Most_Pop#}{else}{#PLIGG_Visual_Pligg_Most_Pop#}{/if} |
{if $paorder eq “leastpopular”}{#PLIGG_Visual_Pligg_Least_Pop#}{else}{#PLIGG_Visual_Pligg_Least_Pop#}{/if} |

{elseif $pagename neq “story”}
{if $Voting_Method eq 1}
{#PLIGG_Visual_Pligg_Sort_News_By#}:
{if $setmeka eq “” || $setmeka eq “recent”}{#PLIGG_Visual_Recently_Pop#}{else}{#PLIGG_Visual_Recently_Pop#}{/if} |
{if $setmeka eq “today”}{#PLIGG_Visual_Top_Today#}{else}{#PLIGG_Visual_Top_Today#}{/if} |
{if $setmeka eq “yesterday”}{#PLIGG_Visual_Yesterday#}{else}{#PLIGG_Visual_Yesterday#}{/if} |
{if $setmeka eq “week”}{#PLIGG_Visual_This_Week#}{else}{#PLIGG_Visual_This_Week#}{/if} |
{if $setmeka eq “month”}{#PLIGG_Visual_This_Month#}{else}{#PLIGG_Visual_This_Month#}{/if} |
{/if}

{/if}

Sagar, you can delete the “About This Site” section by editing pligg.tpl. If you don’t want to use the right sidebar at all, delete this line: {include file=$tpl_right_sidebar.”.tpl”}.

To delete the “Ported by Futurosity” header, edit header.tpl.

Note that I’ll be releasing a new version this week, which should fix a couple bugs.

Knox, if you want to format code, you use the tag.

Thanks for the avatar fix!

Dominik, the new version of Pligg breaks this template. I hope to update it sometime next week. Thanks for your patience.

I don’t mean to sound unsympathetic, but I warned you :(

I’m really sorry. Normally, I’d be happy to help. But I already wasted a day and a half trying to clean this puppy up, which is why I decided to put it off until 1.0. I’m working on some other things now and I wouldn’t know where to begin. Sorry…

The only thing I can suggest is to look at the yget template. If it’s working in yget, you should be able to get it to work in Aqueous. You’ll have to find the code for it and cut and paste. Good luck!

Sam, thanks very much for your comment. You’re welcome! I looked at your site. Very nice mod!

Thanks for your comment, but I can’t help you. Haven’t looked at it in months. This template is no longer supported. Sorry.

I’m not supporting any of my Pligg templates currently. See Pligg Templates Update Status.

When v1.0 is released, I’ll take another look.

@Aquabot: You’ll need to edit the main.css file in the template CSS folder. Find the selector for the body and change this:

font: 78.5%/1.6em

to a larger size. The first number is the font-size and the second is the line-height.
