Help. My new webhosting company offers the b2 blog. Unfortunatly, I'm having a good bit of trouble figuring out how to customize it and make the blog really useful. What I want to do is insert a blog into a small 'window' or table, as it is on the following b2 page:

http://cafelog.com/

Love the way it's the test blog is tucked into a corner box. It would be a great way for my moderators and I to post updates on the main page of my website

http://www.gloomygus.org

Unfortunatly, though I know some HTML, I know NOTHING about PHP or how to make the b2 blog work within an existing webpage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (and I hope this message makes sense)

Thanks

Simply write the html and implement it.

Code:
<table>
<tr>
<td>

[b2-code here!]

</td>
<td>
whatever you want here...
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Well, your page is a .html document so it's not very strange, actually.

Try changing it to .php

Very Happy

Ok, I posted a reply to this already, but it didn't show up. that happened last time I posted a reply too.

Changed the file

http://www.gloomygus.org/b2test.php

Still getting weirdness.

by the way, a big thank you to all trying to help with this problem. You're being incredibly patient.

If I eventually get this to work, will I be able to set this page as my home page? Eventually I want to be able to use this as an update feature, sort of like the one on the Leaky Cauldron website.

If I recall correctly, the "failed to open stream" error is pretty common, so why don't you browse the installation issues, ok?

ok.. I already had that.. but can't seem to find the code to outline just the ONE box of the table... like say have the contents in a black box. any helpers??

Also.. what code do I use to have (in that box) a list of the users, to link to show all they have writen? I found the author=1 code.. but cant find the parameters to make it actualy work...?


hope those two make some sence..lol

I didn't write that code as a template, but merely to show the construction of what he/she was asking for...
