At the moment, it just displays the title of the Article without any other information. I would like it to display a summary of the article below this. I have tried adding { description }, { desc } and { body } (without the spaces) but it does not make any difference. It doesn't add this information in. I know I can use CSS to change the actual look of it.</p> <p>I do not want to use the "Standard" Category Type as it will have links to the number of views, date and rating plus I'm using the Standard Category Type for all other articles. All I want is to have this page displayed with the title of the article and a summary of the article.</p> <p>Can this be done at all? I would appreciate if anyone can help with this.</p> <p>Thank you in advance. </p> http://kbpublisher.com/forums/topic.php?id=123#post-558 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 15:50:13 +0000 BuyDogTreats 558@http://kbpublisher.com/forums/ <p>Excellent description here about Custom Pages and to resolve its issues.

You need to use new file such as "newpage.php" and specify this in your settings for the application.</p> <p>see: '<a href="http://uancletus.com/img/?v=newpage.jpg">Example Setting</a>'</p> <p>Once you have this new file created you will need to follow '<a href="http://www.kbpublisher.com/kb/Change-KBPublisher-Look-and-Feel-%28design-integration%29_217.html">this article</a>' to enclose the content of the KBpublisher page. </p> <p>Make sure you pay close attention to these steps:</p> <p>'<br /> <blockquote>Notes:</p> <p> * You must be an administrator to do this<br /> * If you prefer, you can set the Template Page to load field to the URL, i.e. <a href="http://www.your_domain.com/your_template.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.your_domain.com/your_template.html</a>, rather than to the full server path, i.e. /usr/www/html/ ..../your_template.html, if your PHP installation allows it. (On some PHP installations this option is not allowed).<br /> * Using the URL for the template path (<a href="http://www.your_domain.com/your_template.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.your_domain.com/your_template.html</a>) cause extra lookups, which will may affect the performance a litte, hence we recommend that you use the server path name if you can.<br /> * If you need to execute php in your template, use the full URL for the template path.</blockquote> '</p> <p>You can then place whatever PHP code you want in that "newpage.php" and it should work fine.</p> <p>I hope that helps.</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Shark </p> http://kbpublisher.com/forums/topic.php?id=188#post-548 Tue, 22 Jun 2010 10:55:22 +0000 aksinc 548@http://kbpublisher.com/forums/ <p>help need in look n Feel<br /> hi<br /> i mm customizing Kb publisher look n feel for my site<br /> and followed steps given on link<br /> ----&gt;http://www.kbpublisher.com/kb/Change-KBPublisher-Look-and-Feel-(design-integration)_217.html&lt;----<br /> but my new design just showing HTML , not the Article &#38; ; not showing post that i have already entered .<br /> i think a have not integrated HTML with php code...<br /> i m a php programmer ... can u provide me help how to do that ..</p> <p>thanks </p> http://kbpublisher.com/forums/topic.php?id=187#post-546 Wed, 16 Jun 2010 21:21:07 +0000 rsharkey 546@http://kbpublisher.com/forums/ <p>I was able to figure this out.

I have that all figured out.</p> <p>Here is what I want to do:</p> <p>1. I want to have a splash screen that allows someone to choose a language from a html form drop-down.<br /> 2. I then want to capture that via a $_GET method into a PHP $_SESSION variable.<br /> 3. From there I want this session variable to set the "$conf['lang']" configuration setting in the: "\www\kbp\admin\config.inc.php" file.</p> <p>The goal is to have multiple languages supported but allow the end users to select their appropriate language dynamically. I do not think this would be tough to implement, but for some reason I am having trouble capturing the GET method from my language select form. </p> <p>Could someone please share with me whether you think this is possible, and if so where would I put this code logic to get my desired results. It almost seems like the template file (where I currently have my PHP) is not able to "read" the GET method pass.</p> <p>Thanks in advanced.</p> <p>Shark </p> http://kbpublisher.com/forums/topic.php?id=178#post-530 Sun, 18 Apr 2010 18:50:04 +0000 jconnoll 530@http://kbpublisher.com/forums/ <p>I am looking to emulate the KBPublisher website, by allowing users to purchase my client's software, and enter in their desired username/password for KB Publisher.
