Custom Install today from Mike
« on: November 10, 2004, 21:13:59 »
After spending all night trying to get a yabb gallery and ul mod working without any success, I saw a link to this site.
I emailed Mkle asking about the "custom" setup and got a reply back saying he could get to it today.
Well after about a hour after I emailed him the info I get the email saying its ready to test  :o
I make a quick file permission change and BOOM its done  :o
All I need now is a secret decoder ring for his tml system, or a link to "tml" for dummies  ::)

Thanks again !

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

Here's some info on .tml file tags:

Everything else in a .tml file is just regular old HTML... Let me know if you get stuck.


Cheers

I have been looking through the forums, you really need a
TML for dummies guide  ::)
I just want a logo on my main pl page :o for starters.

Finding a viewer that will show you everything is a giant pain for CSS with the TML

Again, thanks for all your help

He're some ideas:
  • Call up album.pl as it is and save the html file from your browser.
  • Edit the result 'til it looks like you desire.
  • Then cut and paste the resulting HTML code into the tml files, at the appropriate div, and put the ####TAGS### back in instead of the fixed text from your temporary html file.

Not sure what else I can add. If you know HTML/CSS then you know the .tml files. If not, there are plenty of references out there better than I could write! :)

Here's a post that may help pull things together for you:

To add a logo, you want to edit album_header.tml and insert the <img src=""> tag for your logo wherever you want it to appear...

Thanks guys, its just different thats all  ::)
I have to figure out what goes where.
I can't get FP to pull up a PL file, I guess I need to get perl running on my stupid XP box  ::)
I am lost without FP  :P

Style Studio is great for the CSS files though  ;)

Ok here are some TML links  :-*

Actually those TML links are for something completely different. The album.pl .tml files are literally just straight HTML with ####TAGS#### inserted here and there. No scripting or anything unusual like that... I know the use of <div>'s and style sheets makes it look a bit foreign, but it's just regular old HTML...
