[PersianForums]

hello,

would you please tell me how to edit the vb3 blog home page ?

for example I wanna make the fonts larger and etc.

There is no one specific place for that. The areas to check would be the Blog related stylevars:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> style name -> StyleVars -> Blog

And the Blog templates:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> Blog Templates

thanks for the reply steve,

but I know where is the blog templates, I dont know which one is related to the blog home.

infact I wanna make it like vb4 blogs.

You can always find the template by doing this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)

(The blog page you get to when clicking the Blogs link in the navbar is the template BLOG)

thanks for the top lynne,

but my problem is "$content" in the "BLOG" template, in other words I wanna edit "$blogbits".

I think I have found $blogbits in blog_home template , but I cant still edit blogs coz there a variable called "$recentblogbits", and I dont know how to edit it.

regards.

Get a good text editor and then you can enter a searchterm like "$recentblogbits" and search in a directory (the blog directory) to find where that variable is defined.

thanks Lynne , you always give me great solutions

I am using Notepad++ for years, but I didnt understand where to search for $recentblogbits" ?? I have found it in blog_home template but I need to know the source of this bits .

Sorry for asking much mate.

[Lynne]

I use BBEdit and I can search a directory for a word like "$recentblogbits". When I do this, I get 11 hits in 2 files (the .xml file showing the template doesn't count) - blog.php and blog_functions_main.php I don't know what I would go without an editor that searches files in a directory. I use that function *all* the time!

thanks so much for the help

regards.

No, BBEdit is not free. It's also a Mac application only.
