I got hooked on Siteframe 5+ when it was still in Alpha. I have tried phpBB, MX Portal, Mambo, written my own ASP CMS (long story), and otherwise spent entirely too much time sitting in front of computers. I like Siteframe because it meets my primary design principal: Simple yet detailed.

Skype Plugin Attached is a simple plugin for use with Skype.  It enables your users to enter their Skype name in their profile.  Installation and useage are in the comments at the top of the file.  You'll have to unzip it first. Pease note that it does validate user input using a regular expression pattern that may not allow all Skype names.  I was not able to find any documentation on...

Template Dev - A look at "The Daily Photo" There has been some interest about how Glen created TDP template, so I thought I would dissect it a bit. Please note I do not have access to the actual template, so this is just a method to make it happen. BTW, Widescreen is the base template for this look.   The first thing you notice about TDP is the thumbnails stacking up with no text. And the thumbs are all the same size -...

New Smarty Block - Folder Tree This is a custom Smarty Block that is hacked together from the sitemap.php file and a few others. The end result is a folder tree view like you get from the sitemap.php script except you can invoke it from any of your templates like this: {folder_tree} ...format here.... {/folder_tree} I designed this for an easy way to create vertical navigation menus based on your folder structure....

Subfolder Sort Order I have a site that has monthly assignments; each month in their own subfolder. I would like them to be sorted by date but the default is alpha. Have not looked to see how to change this yet, but wanted to get it out there. Probably not a big deal for most. Happy New Year Coby

Clean URL's on OS X I do my development on a Mac and have been struggling to get mod_rewrite and htaccess working to support clean URLs. This blog entry is referenced a bit around the net - http://www.clagnut.com/blog/350/ but it did not work for me. I ended up getting the solution from Glen. I moved my dev folder outside of the defaults for OS X/Apache and created an alias in the your_user_name.conf...

Template Dev - Previous and Next With Thumbs This text file includes a snippet that can be used to render Previous and Next functions with thumbnails. If the Previous or Next page does not have an image it will use the page title. If there is no previous or next page it will do nothing.

User Folders - Error on user edit If user folders are set to auto create with a new account and top-level folders are set to admin only you get the following error if the user then tries to edit their folder: Error: sorry, top-level folders can only be created by site administrator(s) It does not appear to stop the user from editing and saving changes.

Template Dev - Using All and Menu Together The {all} block can be used to generate arrays of info from several classes. Folders, pages and images are the main objects of interest for the {all} block. You can use {all} to generate a list of all folders: ---------------- {all class="folder"} {$folder.title} {/all} --------------- Or you can combine it with menu to add more sophisticated formatting options:...

Hidden causing problems Glen, Not sure if this was fixed yet or not. If a user assigns a page as hidden it can cause problems with recent and random block. I have not looked at the sql yet but don't think they exclude hidden. Coby

subdomains Glen, I have not cracked the code on getting siteframe running on a subdomain. It will run fine if I set the ini file site url to subdomain.domain.com but the URL rewrite does not work. Since the sub is just a pointer to a directory I modified htaccess with the base of /subdomain/. Should I have left this at / ??? Thanks, Coby
