You had to ask...

Document Icon Removing the "Polls" menu option View Printable Version
I have been going through geeklogs documentation and other sundry posts trying to figure out how to remove the "Polls" menu link in 1.4.0sr2 without turning off the polls completely - The docs say open the plugin's Functions.inc file and to comment out the function named
plugin_getmenuitems_plugin-name
To many of you it may seem obvious that you substitute the name of the offending plugin for the words 'plugin-name' but, my bad obtuse ass did not get it right away and i looked all over hell for a function named 'plugin_getmenuitems_plugin-name'. As such, I thought I would type this little note to remind me next time (and possibly help you). To remove the 'Polls" menu element you must comment out the function...
plugin_getmenuitems_polls
in the Polls Functions.inc - There I am done... 
Document Icon Oh Man... View Printable Version
This theme is based on an AxonZ theme which will allow the section or other right block items to show that they are selected - it is a php option. Well it does NOT work right in MSIE. Frigging microsoft. but i am slowly making progress towards getting it working there. I will have it soon - a bit at a time... It is some combination of the .css and the php that is not happy - i fixed it at one point in time in the original theme, but it has not carried over... read more (1 words)

Forthcoming is the theme you see now but I am building it while repairing this site among others. My ISP is struggling under the yoke of script kiddies who are constantly trying to take over a machine and as a result they ran a script which changed ownership on suspect files. Not all of the files affected by the script were "bad", so I am forced to review and rework everything - there will be a new theme coming over at http://www.rclaystiles.com as well... Fun, fun...

At any rate it is almost there. This template will be a foundation for future templates in that it will be so versitile and relatively easy to change and update. There are many elements of this template that may seem familiar - most notably are the ones from the themes at Axonz.com. I dont know who this crazy guy is but he is GREAT with .css and has a good eye for layout. As a result I find i can work with his templates to make some of my own that are far enough removed, at least visually, to be able to call them webbadass themes.

Let me know how you like this one. 
Document Icon TRULY removing the "What's Related" block View Printable Version
Lets face it - this is a useless block if you want to use geeklog for a professional site! No client wants links to other articles by admin or the like so lets nuke the sucker once and for all...

In the html file in ../article/article.html - comment this bit out as shown...

Oh and be sure to...
In the file /article.php you will find near the end some code that looks like this:

$display .= COM_siteFooter ();

Change this to:

$display .= COM_siteFooter (true);

and your stories will have right side blocks starting
 below the story blocks (what's related, etc.).
 
Document Icon Slight site update... View Printable Version
I just completed a slight site update. Removed the top buttons, added links to the lower nav bar, new graphic for the header (As well as a new background image) and Hopefully improved readability on the navigation text... You tell me... 
Document Icon Papa... View Printable Version
Excellent site... really! Reminds me I should update mine.

Greetings from Bali... This AM the bf and I woke up early and went to a forest that is known to have many monkeys, we brought bananas with us... we got attacked. After about 2 minutes all of our bananas were gone and all that remainded were little muddy paw marks all over our pants and shirts... LITTLE BASTARDS! Tomorrow we will destroy them!

See you soon, give mom my love.
Document Icon The future of WebBadAss! View Printable Version

Welcome the new home of WebBadAss.com. With a powerful SQL database and Php scripting it is easy to see why I have chosen GeekLog for the engine of the new site. Every page is a dynamically created and allows me to both be more interactive with the web site and to facilitate contributions from friends and customers.

It will take a bit of time to get it installed and configured the way i want. Even then I will be adding new features all the time. if you find any features on http://www.geeklog.net that you would like to see here please ask for them.
