I am a little confused about the layouts.

First let me show some screen shots of my layouts to try and set up where I am going with this.

Screen #1 is my blog opening page
Screen #2 is what you see after you click on 2006 AT Journals.
Screen #3 is what you see after you click on 2006 here I come(attroll)

This is where I am confused. When viewing screen #3 the layout can only be changed in the ADMIN Blogicles under Edit Module Layouts. This seems to be the Browse Blog entry layout.

If I am browsing a users blog then why can’t this be editable by the user instead of having it set in ADMIN?


Now to my suggestion and this is a two part suggestion.

1. Why not make this editable by the user or is this not a good idea?
2. Can there be a way to set it so that sub categories do not display like they do in screen #3. I would like to see a module created so that it would put just the category titles in a module for just the sub categories that fall under that particular blog you are viewing. A rough sample you bee screen #4 that I have included. This would be awesome to have a module like this and to have the option to use the module of the way it is now.

Thanks for pointing this out. Looks like I didn't account for user owned categories in the section that determines which module layout to pull. I've just updated the forum/includes/vba_blog_include_plugin_sf.php with the fix, so if you'll download that again and replace your current file that should take care of the problem.

OK, Thanks I will download the whole zip file in a little bit and overwrite everything on my web site. I have no idea what changes you have done to other things other then what you have written to me about and I need to make sure my version is up to date.

Ok. I downloaed all the files and uploaded them over the old files on my server, did an upgrade, reinstalled templates, reinstalled phrase. But I can not see where you added this option so that users can setup the layouts of their owned categories.

The only think I see under My Stuff is in the Edit Modules and that is only Browse Bog and Show Blogs and this is not the place. Do I have to acitvate something fo this to show up so the user can edit there category layouts?

The "Browse Blogs" page should cover any category owned by the user after the change I made.
