Hi, I'm on the latest version of Pivot and just activated the Moblog extension. Everything is working for so far, but I don't want to make a mess of my images database.

That is why I want all the images being sent in via the Moblog are saved with a unique prefix "Moblog_date-time_filename"

In case a file name "Picture003.jpg" is being mailed to the Moblog I want Pivot to store this file to the image directory as 'Moblog_20080629_060553_Picture003.jpg".

I think this can be arranged in the file pivot_lib.hp. In fact this is already done by Pivot when it discovers a duplicate file. I want Pivot now to do this by default.

Who can help me out?

Thanks,

Norab

OK, it seems you aren't using httpd.conf. Could you please try the changed line I proposed above in your .htaccess to see if it makes any difference? If not, I need FTP access to debug/fix this - sorry.

I've been using .htaccess and I looked for a file called httpd.conf on my server using FTP, but I don't see one.
I have to confess that I know virtually nothing about httpd.conf. If I should try using that instead of .htaccess could you point me to a good tutorial? Do I just create a file called httpd.conf with the content I want and drop it into my root directory via FTP?

You might have done something stupid, but it might also be Pivot struggling... I can at least see that Pivot isn't able to detect the URL to the pivot folder - that's why you get "entry/entry". Your "Register your username / Log in)" links on each entry page is also broken

Are your RewriteRules in a .htaccess file or in httpd.conf? If they are inside httpd.conf (or equivalent) try using

Code:

RewriteRule ^/entry/([0-9]*)(/.*)?$ /pivot/entry.php?id=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [PT]

and see if that helps. (Please try it anyway.) If it helps, update all the other rules too.

Please don't feel the need to spend too much time on it. I will probably figure it out given a day or two.

Anyhow...I had an outdated calendar.css, pvl_eng.php and pvl_eng_utf8.php.
I replaced all of them with the new files, rebuilt the index and frontpage and it didn't help.
I had modified those old files so I put them back after I was convinced that wasn't the solution.
Could it be related to the CHMOD 775 issue??

You probably found it, but the page is http://www.escapekeygraphics.com/entry/16/Table%20Of%20Contents

It's probably something really stupid I'm doing

Yes and no. Pivot generates the file db/ser_lasttrack.php (corresponding to db/ser_lastcomm.php for the latest comments). However, that file isn't used anywhere. You could create a function last_trackbacks_overview based on last_comments_overview (found in pvlib.php) and insert it into the function main_screen (in pv_core.php). I guess it's some work, but if you do it please send me a patch so I can add it.

Does Pivot have latest trackbacks feature? It would be especially useful if I could add this in the admin panel overview near the 'latest comments' box so I know what's going on in my pages.

Thanks.

Yes, that's correct, but have a look at the default templates to get a general idea of what each template needs to have in it.

If I understand it correctly: The page I made has to be the entrypage and I need to create another page as the frontpage with [[subweblog]] in it?

I just tested the TOC extension (v 1.7) and didn't get your problem. Before I start using anytime on this, please use the integrity checker in Pivot Tools to verify that the upgrade is complete. (See my signature.)

I said subweblog.

In the frontpage template add (anywhere) "[[subweblog:hidden]]". On page 2 of your weblog config, select the (empty) _sub_entry_hidden.html that you have created and select the categories that you want to associate with the subweblog. Voila.

Yes, I agree that this isn't perfect, but since a lot of the configuration is connected to each weblog, Pivot really needs to know which weblog each category is associated with. We could of course just select a weblog on random ... (The problem is that Pivot supports multiple weblogs.)

You have created an entry page template, not a front page template. A front template must contain [[subweblog]]. (The layout of each entry in a subweblog is defined in sub entry templates.)

PS! Looking at the default templates is always helpful.

Maybe I do need to resolve this properly. It has done the same to my links in my TOC (Table of Contents).

I had already replaced them with manual coding by the time I read your post, but since you ask....
There was an additional entry/ in the URL. For instance http://www.mydomain.com/rss.xml became http://www.mydomain.com/entry/rss.xml
