Indexhibit Support

we were wondering if it's possible to make a html page show up in the right-hand pane. We want the "main" page to have a blog going on and we've added a Wordpress to our webspace. We want to be able to point to that in indexhibit.

Hope this makes sense.

huddle.

Yep...on the settings page you have the Pre and Post Nav textareas...this adds thigns before and after the actual Index. You can add things in there... ;)

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
does that not just add something above and below the index?

we were wanting the Exhibit section on the home page to be a page that was not created in Indexhibit (in this case a blog).
Would I have to change something in the mySQL or add code to the index to open that page on the right?

Which blog system are you using?

We might...in the future...release a blog module for Indexhibit. It would be very simple...not with every feature you can imagine.

You can write plugins for Indexhibit that could access other things, but this could easily spiral into something too complicated.

the blog system i'm using is Wordpress.
I assume that the plugins look like this:

plug:ndxz_users/ (with brackets around it)

and that it uses information within the database?
Where is the file associated with the above plugin "About This Site" found in the database?
If you let me know where it is I might be able to work out how to do it.

Thanks:)

Look in the /ndxz-studio/site/plugin folder...you have two kinds of plugins:

- exhibit (for the presentation of images)
- plugin (for things coming out of the textarea when you edit a page

The 'about this site' plugin is a little hard to track down...it's found in the /plugin/index.php file but it's hard wired into the system - so it's not the best example.

If you'are handy with PHP you'll see how easy it is...just check out how the naming convention should be right (like plug:wordpress some='vars' /) and how you connect to the database. The rest is just looping things out.

Let me know how it goes...maybe I'll have a little time next week to give you a hand assuming you aren't trying anything too complicated. ;)
