a few things like new blocks, etc

[pandha]

hi. i have just installed esyndicat 1.5 [free version] and like to change a few things. hope you can help me.

first of all, in the index page, above the block with categories, i'd like to have a new one, where i could write a few sentences about my directory.

second, the Featured Links are displayed as a right block only on main page [index]. can i have it on all pages?

then, can i add a new right block, where i could put my private links plus for example a 120x600 google adsense advert?

is it possible to have paid links in free version of your script?

i would like to have last added websites and featured links on my other website. i heard i can use rss feed, but have no idea how.

thanks for your help.

</div>
{/if}

***Open YourLanguage.php and add

'yourBlock' => 'your Block',

2)***Open Dir.php and find function getFeaturedLinks


function getFeaturedLinks($aCategory = 0, $aStart =0, $aLimit = 0)

***In this function coment out (//) code***


$sql .= $aCategory ? "WHERE t2.`id_category` <> '{$aCategory}' " : '';


3)***Open footer.tpl and find code***

{if $featured_links && $config.featured_box}
<div class="box">
<div class="box-caption">{$lang.featured_links}</div>

{foreach from=$featured_links item=link}
<div class="featured-link"><a href="{$link.url}" class="title" id="l{$link.id}" {if $config.new_window}target="_blank"{/if}>{$link.title}</a></div>

tks..but how can i separe a box for index and a box for every category?

[Dave Baker]

For example:

{if $category.id eq 0}
<div class="box">
<div class="box-caption">{$lang.yourBlock}</div>
<div class="box-content">Your Content</div>
</div>
{/if}

Will be appear in index.

{if $category.id neq 0}
<div class="box">
<div class="box-caption">{$lang.yourBlock}</div>
<div class="box-content">Your Content</div>
</div>
{/if}

Will be appear in every category except index.
