Wednesday, January 25. 2006Calendar sidebar plugin
The calendar plugin that is installed by default in Serendipity shows all entries for the month with links to the archive page for that day. This makes it so easy to find posts for particular days. Some theme designers are also adding extra coloring, borders, or background images to calendars to make them really stand out. It is even possible to add events or personal activities to the calendar by installing extra plugins.
The calendar itself is created from a Smarty template file 'plugin_calendar.tpl' and sits within a table to create the columns and rows. Continue reading "Calendar sidebar plugin" Saturday, January 21. 2006Using lists in entries
At some point almost every blog user will want to make a list in an entry, and while some might just use a carriage return (new line) others may know a little html and decide to use html lists instead. The following lists, unordered, ordered, and definition demonstrate how themes handle them.

HTML tags give blog authors much more control over how their posts will look, and this page shows how most of the basic tags have been styled in the theme you want to use.

You may have noticed this page has a very very long title. In fact I just kept typing until I reached the limit. Many theme designers don't realise that some users are quite happy to use long titles.
If the banner of your theme uses a large font, or if you would like to restrict the length of the title, it is possible to prevent long titles from upsetting your finely crafted design. Open your index.tpl, and where the h1 title link is, replace with this What you've just done is told serendipity that if the title exceeds 50 characters then truncate the title and add three dots. You could easily change the number of characters, and you needn't insert three dots if you have some other approach you would prefer to take. Wednesday, January 18. 2006Two column themes
The power of serendipity allows us to develop themes that only use two columns, and by default serendipity places all sidebar plugins into the right sidebar. However Serendipity is very powerful and allows users to select the left sidebar for sidebar plugins as well.
