An example page tree

All of the following examples and explainations will be based on this example tree:

Setting up a blog using this template

Go to our homepage [1] and create a main template record on the same page. Here you select from the right box “Include static (from extension)” the templates like shown in the screenshot below and in that order.

On the page for the post SINGLE view – in our example page [2] - insert two instances of Modern Guestbook on page [2]. One for the comments listing and one for the form. As Modern Guestbook can not be inserted via TS you have to do it manualy:

The last thing left is to set some options in the constants editor. To do this go to Template [1] --> page where you want to store the settings [2] --> Constants Editor [3] --> PLUGIN.TX_TIMTAB [4].

In our example we would set the following options:

required settings (timtab)

pid to store posts in: 6pid to store comments in: 7Blog pid: 2Home pid: 1Blog homepage: http://www.example.com

required settings (tt_news)

backPid: 1pid_list: 6catSelectorTargetPid: 1

required settings (ve_guestbook)

templateFile = {$page.file.template_ve_guestbook}

recommended settings (timtab)

Title, Tagline

recommended settings (ve_guestbook)

limit = 1000

Blogroll settings (timtab)

To make the Blogroll work you need to set plugin.tx_timtab_pi1.pid_list. (Set it to 8 for our example.

That's it – we're done! Wasn't that fast?
