CGBlog design

Post by billybag »

I am trying to get my home page to look like a normal blog not that different from http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/support/blog/ and i am using CGBlog. However i cannot get it to look like that at all. All i can get on my home page is a small summary of the newest entry....

How do i get my home page to display my whole blog like that of http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/support/blog/? I don't know what i am supposed to edit and i used wordpress for years so i have experience somewhat in modules and editing css, php, and html. This has me stumped though.

EDIT: I guess what i am looking for is the proper parameter to display the details rather than summary. The only thing i can find that touches on the option is "detailpage="pagealias"" which does not do anything at all.

If I understand you correctly you want the whole blog article to show on the summary page. So you need to edit the summary template so the {$entry->content} is not piped through summarize or truncate (remove the | and everything after it).

Escuse my ignorance, but i think i may need a little more help on what exactly to change. Everything i have tried brings up various errors.

EDIT: I got it. I had to change {else if $entry->content} to {if $entry->content}

thanks!
