hello man . I fixed errors in showing this template in IE and Opera ,so now this template can displayed in IE and Opera as well as FireFox .Check it out and give me your comments

Great template, however when I replaced your url with mine as per your instructions all the widgets and posts disappreared, please advise. Thanks!

@Ajdpadburry :could you tell me which section your posts disappeared?
in this template ,not only changing blog URL ,but also changing value for variables from label1,tlabel1,title1 to label9,tlabel9,title9 with your own blog's labels is needed .
by the way,did you update new patch for this version ? I made a new patch for this template can display normally in IE and Opera as well as FireFox . Check it out if you download old version .

Excellent work, but as I do to put the gadget fans :(

@haos : just find this : showaddelement='no' and change 'no' to 'yes' . You can add gadget in page element now ^^

Thanks nhamngahanh :)

you're welcome ^^

Hi I'm just going through it right now. The arrow-off and arrow-on .gif images are missing from the images folder. Photobucket says its' been removed. Can you replace them please ? Or tell me what I need to do. I've followed the instructions, and transferring all the images location to my photobucket add. But those two images are missing so far.
Thank you very much.

@vienna : Thanks for paying attention to my template .
I want to say sorry because two images arrow-on.gif and arrow-off.gif are not necessary . They are added in CSS section when I started designing this template but finally I didn't use them . So you can remove the lines related to this two images from CSS code or do nothing . It will not affect to this template .

I've just left it in the source, thank you so much for your prompt reply.

Hello friend,
How to remove some label ,tlabel and tittle tag from?
there are 9 section, i want to remove number 5 n 6? Posible?

Thanks for the answer..

thanks about it, i've found the way a few hours ago! thanks again ;-)

@Fatih : Can you take a look at this picture : http://lh6.ggpht.com/_MsaNQZtvB5E/SuXSiUPvoXI/AAAAAAAAAP4/tR6FxLi-g0Y/s800/simplexdarknessinstruct.jpg

In this template ,content in section from 1 to 6 are placed in <ul class="home-left"> and <ul class="home-right"> elements as in the picture . And section 7 is in <ul class="home-bottom"> . You can delete any of them if you like .

I have another problems: a lot of difficult to find where and what I have to change tho have different names of pages in the main navigation bar, and to change the words "more" and "view post" in the posts summaries (i would like to write words in italian, my language).
Could you please help me?

i tried what do you say but nothing changes , i found in the xml file the it is programed to only show http://sites.google.com/site/fdblogsite/Home/nothumbnail.gif Please Fix This error

@XspeedeR : here is the picture I captured from your site when debugging it in Firebug : http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MsaNQZtvB5E/SuZz4_H54vI/AAAAAAAAAQc/d_a02lwK_FQ/s800/simplexdarknessinstruct.jpg

I see that your img tags is covered by <a href="" ></a> tags . And img tag is contain a lot of attributes .
As I said before ,this template can process only img tags and other tags covered this tags or other attributes of img tags should be removed .
You can see the picture and check your site for detail . In general ,images uploaded in Blogger or copied from others site always goes with <a href="" ></a> and some attribute ,so removed it all ,leave only img tags is the way to do this .
Hope this comment helpful to you

@Loren Merlin : here is code of main navigation bar ,you can find this your own and change this as you want :
<ul >
<li class="current_page_item">
<a href="http://simplex-darkness.blogspot.com/" title="Home" rel="bookmark">Home</a>
</li>
<li >
<a title="About" href="http://simplex-darkness.blogspot.com/2009/10/about.html">About</a>
</li>
<li >
<a title="About" href="http://simplexdesign.blogspot.com">Simplexdesign blog</a>
</li>
</ul>

to change term "more" and "View Post" you can open template file in any word editor you have and search for them . This two term are placed in encoded javascript code ,so just need to take a look at javascript code which is encoded and you will find this two to make change .

Hurray.. i've done.
Thanks nhamngahanh,

I like this template, awesome, multi columns.

I have a problem with the searchType for submitting categories on to the Articles on the footer. Any idea how to solve this problem brother?

Best Regards,

Budiarno

ooopssss.... sorry, everything settled now... I was just wrong on placing the label.

Thanks for the great template brother...

I put it on here: http://parabola.budiarno.com

All the best!

I have another problem..
I can't select profile (Name/Url and Anonymous) in "Leave a Reply"

thanks a lot nhamngahanh : i'll try and i'll let you know, if you'd like.
best regards

Oh, ic..
Ok thanks..

The problem was Solved!

I've a question [again]

in blogspot we can add the author
is it possible to create a table that automatically based on the author?

Maybe you can posting tutorial about that..

ok, for the first problem, I've resolved, thanks to your advise. But for the second problem (change "more" and "view post") I wasn't able. I've tried with text wrangler, my html editor, and after I've changed them, al posts in the home page deisappeared. Thanks God I saved the previous template. Maybe is not so important. MORE IMPORTANT for me it's the possibility to add blogger google widgets in the layout elements, like I always do with my other blogs. Here I don't see this adding choice. Is it possible or not?
Thanks and excuse me for this questions.

@Loren Merlin : just find this : showaddelement='no' and change 'no' to 'yes' . You can add gadget in page element now . This is question of Haos and I reply him in earlier comment .

thanks, I had difficults translating that comment ;-) so I didn't understand, now it's clear.

now I've changed showaddelement in yes, but ONLY UNDER THE POSTS is possible to add widget, not in sidebar or upper. It is normal? Is it possible to change it?

Hi Bro,

It's really a nice template! I have just downloaded the first version (not knowing there's the 2nd updated version which fixed the appearance at IE and Opera. Thanks.

My question is :
a) I would like to add the "Re-tweet button" (tweetmeme) and socialbookmarking button but could not seem to find the "div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1' . Any suggestion ?
b) Same requests as per @Loren Merlin, was wondering how to add page elements at the sidebar.
Please assist.

Thank you :-)

@Loren Merlin and Admin-LK : in this template you can't add widget in sidebar because I wrote code for sidebar in template file . To do this ,you need to do a small trick : in template file ,can find these line : <div id="contentright"> <div id="sidebar">
and insert this code between two lines above : <b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar' preferred='yes' showaddelement='yes'></b:section>
and save template . Now you can add widgets in sidebar easily .

@Admin-LK : could you take a look at this picture :
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MsaNQZtvB5E/SucyaDBYsLI/AAAAAAAAAT8/tqnjl5EEN-M/s800/simplex-darkness.jpg
in this picture ,I marked place where you can insert Re-tweet button or socialbookmarking button with hand-point symbol . You can find these place in template and add scripts .

Thanks again nham, i'll try!!

Thank you so much nham! it works!! please forgive me if I ask you one more thing: I'd like to put a widget also upon the posts area, right under the main window; is there a trick like that or is not possible?
thaNKS AGAIN

BINGO!! I've found it myself!
I've put this code before the maicontent:
b:section class='maincontent' id='maincontent' preferred='yes' showaddelement='yes'b:section

kisses

Hi Bro,

A BIG thank you! I managed to add the code and it turns out awesome! You are a genius!

One more favour .... hehehe
a) How do we add inline ads(for adsense 300 x 250) below the title. Is it possible with this theme ?

Thank you

Hi me again,

I have changed the templates images to my photobucket account url, I'll followed it line by line the instructions you gave here. But now I have a black screen on the top front. I have some questions because it's still not working right.

1. I can't see where how I add posts into the 7 labels that I created on the front page. I'm in elements but it only has a edit facility saying Blog Post edits. I tried that but my post has not appeared.

2. I have checked out your response to Loren and co. I don't understand it.

3. I did try your advice to get gadgets into the sidebar. Works perfectly.

Note: the other problems I had earlier were solved once I removed an offending letter or symbol.

But I'm just don't know what happened to the lovely slideshow with pictures?

Thanks for your help

dear brother nhamngahanh,

I try to show my main post under the 7 categories (under ads), but when I erased the script dislpay:none, the posts is still hidden. I have tried to change the "hidden" attribute to "show" but still it does not show any main post.

please kindly help us. thanks b4

oh, one more thing.

how do we add a slideshow photos as the recent post? I don't see any link to put my recent posts link.

thanks

budiarno it's all clarly explained in the installation settings and in our previous comments.

Hello my name is Brendon,

Fantastic template!

I just want to erase "About the autor", "subscribe" and "related post" in the single post page!

What should i do?!

Thank you!

i love your templates i give you first rank in blogger templates
well i have 1 problem that this template is still not working in google chrome and ie i try your both versions but still facing this problem. i hope u will solve it v soon thanks you i am waiting. Thanks

Hi, I hope that I'm not asking for too much, but I really love your template and I'd like to use it for my sites. It would be perfect if it could be possible to change the green background behind the first page (for exaple "home") in the main navigation bar, in a way that whe we change the page and we go to another, the green background appears behind the name of the new page of the navigation bar (excuse me if i can't explain it exacly in your language, i hope you'll understand).
Is there a trick for this?

thanks for your reply i am sure i check old and new versions and your dimo template also all are not working in ie and google chrome.

Thanks nham, hopefully I'll wait ;-)

Hi, this is Brendon again...

Thank you, but it doesn't work, because i don't know when i have stop to delete.

I have to delete from this:

div class="clearfix" id="related"

to???

@it's me : I will check template again .
@Brendon : here is the code you should delete :
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_MsaNQZtvB5E/SukI5gHAo2I/AAAAAAAAAWg/SE57OxKq8SI/s800/simplex-darkness3.jpg

ok thanks for checking the template.

@It's me : I checked template with browsers and error in appearance only occurred in Chrome .So I will try to fix it .
@Fatih : To insert link blogger profile ,you could find this line :
<data:post.author/>
and replace it with
<a href="Link_to_your_profile"><data:post.author/></a>

There are 2 authors, how to distinguish between me and him

I found no layout data tags in Google blogger for showing link to each author automatically,so I have no ideas for doing what you ask . I will try to find a solution for this

ok thanks i am waiting.

Chrome problem :(

@chlanic : yes,I know . And I'm trying to fix it .

Hi dear nham, I have two other requests:

is it passible to have the edit tool (the one with the pencil icon) over every single post?

and second: some friends told me that there are problems with this template usig safari.

thanks a lot for your suggestions!!

please can You make it accept uploader pics as any normal blog template , it is very nice template but the only bad thing is the problem of the pic in the first page pleaaaaase

@Loren Merlin :
1, Adding quick edit tool is possible . To add this tool , you find this <data:post.body/> and add this line right after :
<b:include data='post' name='postQuickEdit'/>

2,I've know troubles in Safari and Chrome ,but I'm trying to fix it .
@XspeedeR : I really don't know what the matter with you .Because it work fine with me and others .By the way ,I show you why your pictures can't be showed in comments above . I will try to improve it .
Thanks all for comment .

thanks nham!
but i didn't uderstand your last message:
what does it mean that all errors are fixed?
and that we can download the fixed version?
what kind of problem i would fix with the new version?
I'm afraid that if I use a new version of the template I will lose all the settings I've already made..
What do you suggest? should I have to change it or not?

maybe there is just a part of the code in the new template that I can copy/past in the place of the old one, in a way that I can "save" myself about starting al my work from the start?? I hope!! thnks a lot!

@Loren Merlin : This template is fixed for showing in Chrome and Safari .
I changed a bit in javascript . But javascript code is encoded in template file ,so it will be hard to find the modification to replace or copy .
So I suggest you can download the new fixed version and compare it with old version and copy change you made from old to new one . You remembered what change you made so I think it's will be easier than copy modification in new template and place it right in your old one .

you can check Live demo of template in Safari and Chrome for seeing what I made . In all browsers ,this template can works properly right now

Hello... This is Brendon Again!
Now it works! Thank you, so i have more questions... :-)

1) It's possible to show all the entire title of the single posts that showing in homepage under the categories?
I mean all the post showing under "politic", "business", Tecnology2... (form section1 to section7)

2) In this sections (from1 to 7) i would like to show 2 posts instead 3. It is possible?

3) I have a problem because every time i write a new post, it will show on the bottom, just after the sectin7... why?

Always Brendon...

I have found by myself point 1 and 2 from last request... but point 3 is very hard to find!

Another point...

4) Please, help me to change the color of the font of categories (from 1 to 7)

Hi,
I have the same problem just like XspeedeR
this is my site url
http://itjob-egypt.blogspot.com/

I've done all wjat you said, but the problem still exist.

Hi this is Brendon...

Thank you... please take a look at my blog and you can see the problem about the last post that showing on the bottom, after the section7.

http://ilmortificatore.blogspot.com/

Please take a look here too:

http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/4334/bloggy1.jpg

On the single post page, I have on the top, first the number of comments (2) and then the title... and i don't know why the dashed lines dont' appear!

@Brendon : Hey man .When debugging site in Firebug ,I realize that you changed my code basically . In my code ,I added condition statement for not showing blog content in homepage ,but you removed it and change it to your own .
With your code ,to hide blog posts in homepage ,just add this code before </head> :

<style>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url != data:blog.homepageUrl'>
#Blog1{
display:none;
visibility:hidden;
}
</b:if>
</style>


The reason why dot line is not shown is the same . You changed code which I formatted by CSS ,so dot line is not shown .
To show dot line ,you find this line :
<div class="post-body entry-content">
And add this code before the line above :
<div class="postdate">
</div>
Hope this helpful to you

This is Brendon...

I added your codes... but... the last post is always on bottom and when I click on every posts in homepage they appear completely white and unreadble in their post page! :-(

@All who meet trouble thumbnail is now shown : I check all your sites but I really don't know what wrong is . I will try so hard to find what the matter with this template and why it can't show thumbnail for you .
I hope you all still interested in this template .
@Borejko :Could you tell me more detail : everything is okay with the first version ,isn't it ?

@Brendon : Sorry ,I made a mistake .
here is the right one :
<style>
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
#Blog1{
display:none;
visibility:hidden;
}
</b:if>
</style>

Very sorry .Thanks for your fast reply .

@All who meet trouble thumbnail is now shown : I re-installed this template on other blogs .The result is quite well ,they all work. I also go around others blog which using this template ,most of them work properly.Now ,I have no answer for the trouble with thumbnail ,I suggest you try to installed this template (the latest version) in another blog and test its operation before adding your own javascript or make your own tweak . After that ,modify it as you want and see what happen in each step you made . By this way ,we will know where trouble come.

thanks you simplex admin for fixing template now template working perfect in google chrome i am

its me

@Brendon : I said that in the comment above .have you read it?

:(

hi, i don't want to show the date in the front page. eg:


Nov,03,2009 (beside the view post) . please help.

tq.

@ina : Find this : '+m+','+day+','+y+'
in template file and delete it . It's code for showing month ,day and year . It's put in encoded javascript in template file ,so pay attention to javascript file and search for them ,you will see them .

i want to show the post images intead of this picture
http://sites.google.com/site/fdblogsite/Home/nothumbnail.gif

please programe it to show the post pictures ... i cannot chnage all of my posts

Hi my name is Mert

I want to erase "About the autor", "subscribe" and "related post" in the single post page! But I can't found this => div class="clearfix" id="related"
What should i do?!

Thank you!

This is Brendon...
I wrote you a private email! Please read it!

HI..tq for your help, but deleting it make the whole thing dissapear. but, i delete &gt then it's ok.

my next problem is:

http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w58/aseana_2007/TESTSLIDE.png

how to show the thumbnail slides on the right?

tq.

@ina : I wrote this in install instruction . you can add a label Feature for your posts ,and they will be showed in Slide .
Or you can do following :
Slide is control by variable label8 .So you can find label8 and change it to the label you want to show posts in which.

ok,,i see...there are two label8 that i have to change...i only changed one...tqvm..

hi dude it is wondeful template but when i installed it i found it filling with annoying editing it is not widget friendly template , i mean that you need to edit a lot in template structure to do every thing on the other way somethings can be done by automatic widgets like ( recent posts) , ( slide Show ) , ( Categories ), ( Youtube Video )
and it also needs some widgets free places that make the admin able to add some stuff he wants like google ads links below header or in the blog footer or any other widgets , i just saw one slot to add widgets in the sidebar.
it wonderful template but needs a lot of easy interface and less of coding for users , if you can make a new version of it that would be great
thank you

@TIPS-BOX : Thanks for commenting ,but this trouble is solved in comments above .You can check out comments of Loren Merlin and me for detail . In these comments ,I said how to enable widget for this template clearly .
A new version will be made as soon as possible .
@Mert : try clearfix instead of "clearfix" .And remember to check "Expand widgets template" box before search . You will find this .
See this picture for more :
http://lh3.ggpht.com/_MsaNQZtvB5E/SvHAE2z-VcI/AAAAAAAAAZI/yxRxYPCxdMQ/s800/relatedpost.jpg

I forget the "Expand widgets template" box ! :D
thx thx thx thx :D

but I have one question:
How can I insert the Google Adsense Advertising ? :S

thanks

Hi nhamngahanh!
How deleted all section 8?

Hi nham,
I'm so sorry and very frustrated.
I've made a lot of work, changing the all setted template with the new "fixed" one, to make it work correctly in safary but now i have a big problem: is impossible to change your default settings for labels 2,3,4,6,6,7,8...
even if I change the tag labeled in the text of the template, i always have your posts such as "business" etc, and not mine.

how it is possible?

I've tried to understand reading the other comments here, but I can't find where is the problem.

I'm so sorry...

yes nham, you don't see the problem because I've reinstalled the old template that doesn't work in safari. in the new "fixed" one, even if i chance your default settings in label1,2,3, ecc (like I did in the old one) in the homepage I still see your categories: business etc, so it can't work beacause my post about iPhone etc, can't appear.

I show you the screenshot of what I get with your new "fixed" template:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2764/4076925031_97db5782a8_o.png

i've installed the same template in another blog that i use just for demo:
http://cronache virtuali.blogspot.com

as you'll understand, I'm able to change correctly the labels in the html code, as I did in the past for the old template, without problems. But here in the new one it seems there's something wrong.

thank youuu ! :D

to Crowded in page element style...can U make empty Element..??

nham, maybe I've found what was wrong!
changing the template with the new one, I've made mistakes in several copy/paste actions!
I think that with a little patience and work I will fix it all!
thanks

I've given up for now. But thank you. If you have an easier template to install that doesn't require so much fiddling and tweaking and countless hours, please post it. I will come back to this during the holidays when I have spare time. It's been hugely time consuming just trying to install this template.

hi, i would like put chatbox in the sidebar,



help. tq.

Hi All who meet trouble thumbnail is now shown. Problem with miniatures is in feed settings . Feed must be set "Full"("short")
___
But i still dont see slider...
Greetz
http://gryfabularne.blogspot.com/

@Borejko : Thanks for your comment . It's very very helpful .
About slider ,I think you should open template file again and do some search for label8 . There are two places of label8 variable ,one for mini post in right-hand and one for post in left-hand of slider . I guess you replace one label8 and miss another ,so the slider in left-hand is now shown .
@Ina : you can see comments above .I answered others about how to adding widgets to sidebar or any elements of blogger . You can follow the instruction to add widget to sidebar and after that ,paste the code of chatbox to widget content .

@mohamed ,XspeedeR and people who meet trouble with thumbnail : could you change your site feed setting to full mode ? I write some note for change site feed setting to full mode,you can check out and see the result ?

Last problem.
How do I add a number of comments to all sections?
