If you open it, you will see that it calls 3 files.. rss.php, lsidebar.php and rsidebar.php.</p> <p>If I am guessing correctly, you want to put something like rss.php on top of lsidebar and risidebar. So, just look into rss.php file and try to duplicate it and call it in sidebar.php file. </p> http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/how-to-add-double-sidebar-field-to-bob-v2#post-233 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 02:03:51 +0000 valmg 233@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ <p>Anyone?

First of all, thanks a lot for your beautiful themes. I currently work on your bob v2 theme and try to change the color and the font of the sidebars (left and right). I mean I don't want the words : Pages, Archives, Categories, Meta, Recent comments and Recent posts to be green but black, and I'd also like them to be smaller. Could you tell me where I can change that ? Thank you. </p> http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/excerpts-displaying-url-bob-v2#post-222 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 21:00:55 +0000 roger 222@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ <p>sorry example at d-atmosphere . com / blog </p> http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/excerpts-displaying-url-bob-v2#post-221 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 21:00:18 +0000 roger 221@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ <p>hi again</p> <p>the excerpts and the bottom of the frontpage show share this code and url's from the post, anyway to stop this? </p> http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/how-to-add-double-sidebar-field-to-bob-v2#post-212 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 03:54:20 +0000 valmg 212@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ <p>No, sorry I didn't explain it well enough I guess.<br /> I do not want to add a third sidebar, two is enough.<br /> I want to add, towards the top, another double wide area like the rss or search areas that are already there. </p> http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/how-to-add-double-sidebar-field-to-bob-v2#post-211 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 20:33:53 +0000 Jai 211@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ <p>Read this :</p> <p><a href="http://www.blogohblog.com/adding-extra-sidebar-to-your-wordpress-theme/" rel="nofollow">http://www.blogohblog.com/adding-extra-sidebar-to-your-wordpress-theme/</a> </p> http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/bob-v2-youtube#post-206 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 07:33:09 +0000 roger 206@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ <p>thanks that worked :) </p> http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/bob-v2-youtube#post-204 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 00:50:27 +0000 yeppoonchronicle 204@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ <p>Roger,</p> <p>Did you un-tick the rich editor in options before you put the code in?

So, right now for instance I have it set to "20." I also have the PHP set to display the most recent 5 at the top ('showposts=5'). This it does fine.</p> <p>The bottom is where it gets strange. It shows the most recent 4 excerpts (instead of skipping to #6), then skips number 5, continues with number 6-20. Odd...very odd.</p> <p>I would prefer (in this scenario) that 1-5 would display at the top and 6-20 would display at the bottom.</p> <p>Make sense?</p> <p>You can see what I mean at <a href="http://www.noelheikkinen.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.noelheikkinen.com</a></p> <p>Thanks so much for helping! </p> http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/bob-v2-changing-summaries-at-bottom-of-index#post-129 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 22:09:09 +0000 Jai 129@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ <p>OK. First things first.</p> <p>Go to options-&gt;reading section of your WP-admin. You will have an option there which you can configure to tell Wordpress how many posts to display on home page. I hope you are not forgetting this.</p> <p>By default, bobv2 allows your single most recent post to appear on top and rest in the excerpts. So, if in the options you have 10 as the number, then one will show on top and 9 in the excerpts. So, this is how it works.</p> <p>I hope this explains it better. </p> http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/bob-v2-changing-summaries-at-bottom-of-index#post-128 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 21:31:12 +0000 noeljesse 128@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ <p>I absolutely love this theme. In fact, it is the first time I haven't used one I built myself. That says a lot.</p> <p>One thing I can't seem to get to work is the excerpts at the bottom of the index page. They list the first 6 posts, but since I have already changed the code to have 5 full posts appear on the site they are a bit superfluous. I'm not a complete PHP newb (although I am a relative one), but I can't seem to figure out how to have the excerpts start with the 6th post instead of the first. I would also like to increase the number of posts to 10 or so, but one thing at a time, I suppose. :)</p> <p>Any thoughts? </p> http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/bobv2-home-page2nd-page-issues#post-119 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 21:43:44 +0000 Jai 119@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ <p>Good work coais.

I worked it out - and considering I have next to NO php knowledge...</p> <p>Put this if statement around the first post on the index.php page:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* If this is the 2nd+ page */ if (!is_paged() ) { ?&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php the_permalink() ?&gt;&quot; rel=&quot;bookmark&quot; title=&quot;Permanent Link to &lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&quot;&gt; &lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; etc... rest of first post code &lt;?php } ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>So the if statement says... if this is NOT a paged page - i.e. the home page, then show the full version of the first post. </p> <p>If the page being displayed is "paged", then ignore that bit of code... This refers to an archive or the main page being split up over several pages.</p> <p>So now I see only the double column of posts on pages 2, 3 etc... and have removed some other bits that I didn't want to appear on that page either...</p> <p>Final version:<br /> <a href="http://perpetualgiveaway.com/page/2/" rel="nofollow">http://perpetualgiveaway.com/page/2/</a> </p> http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/bobv2-home-page2nd-page-issues#post-117 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:47:20 +0000 coais 117@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ <p>Then what is that funny little link right down the BOTTOM of the home page doing?</p> <p>Specifically the:<br /> « Previous Offers<br /> bit...</p> <p>Excuse the sarcasm....</p> <p>Sorry - but it IS linked from the bottom of the home pages on each site that I showed above!

It doesn't make sense, seeing this is a "more" page, to repeat the most recent post and can only serve to confuse anybody that starts to dig a bit deepere into your site... if they see the same post again at the top, they might think you have not much to offer :)</p> <p>The URLs where you can see this happening include:<br /> <a href="http://thaslayer.com/page/2/" rel="nofollow">http://thaslayer.com/page/2/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.submityourcontest.com/page/2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.submityourcontest.com/page/2/</a><br /> and my site at<br /> <a href="http://perpetualgiveaway.com/page/2/" rel="nofollow">http://perpetualgiveaway.com/page/2/</a> and I adjusted the number of posts to show it also happens on pages 3 and 4 as well...</p> <p>Have you got any idea how this could be fixed please? In it's current state it will only serve to make the site look dodgy :)</p> <p>Kind Regards<br /> Stephen Spry </p>
