Quick question re: Blog

[peterpiper]

Hi, on the Blog and Blogsite templates there are little calendars on the preview screen, but they don't actualy show up on the site. Is there a way to get those on the site, or is it kind of like the Slogan, in that they're on the template preview, but don't really exist?

Thanks

As I know this is a part of navigation panel on blog page. If you have some posts, data (year and month) should be displayed. For example, you have following structure:

Category1
Category2
March, 2007

So if you click on Category1 you will get all posts from this category. If you click on March, 2007 you should get all posts which were done in March month. Next month's posts will be accessible on April, 2007 section.
I have checked that on my test site and this section is displayed correctly on preview as well as on published side.

Which Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder do you use? Also, could you provide with the screenshot to be able to understand this case more clearly?

Search By Category

Hi Dmitry,

My problem is with my Blog and Photo gallery see attached links and notice with the blog there is no month or year or category. With the photsos if you search by category the photos do not display. I'm currently using version 4.5

1. Blog http://www.absoluteempowerment.com/blog.php
2. Photos http://www.absoluteempowerment.com/photo_gallery.php

Please try to check Autoupdate section trough Parallels Plesk Sitebuilder admin CP and install all available updates. After that check Blog module one more time. It should help to resolve the issue with displaying categories in left menu for all modules, not only Blog.
As for search in Gallery, it actually works. As I understand it searches by image name. Try to find "P131", for example. You will see the results.

Thanks Dmitry, I will go and try and find an update. In relation to you comment about photos you are absolutely correct. It was my misunderstanding, I thought that I could search by category and all the photos would appear for that category. I was unaware you had to over type search field with a specific file name. Any chance the techs boys and girls could add the feature whereby you search for the category as described then all the photos listed under it appear. Just a thought. Thanks heaps for your help appreciate it. – Tony
