1) Can I and how do I setup or change the dimensions of the
photograph that one
can upload with their profile? Well, I know I can because I uploaded one
pic to the main site at http://www.geeklog.net when I registered
there. My
site didn't allow any photo larger then 96X96.
This is set in config.php. You should really read everything in that
file once.
2) Can I allow visitors and myself to have photographs that do not
get reduced to
a thumbnail size?
No, this is a space conversation issue. If you don't want to have a
thumbnail, you can set the dimensions to be larger
3) Can I make certain stories available for anonymous visitors and
others only for
registered users?
Yes. The permissions system is Geeklog is fairly unique to open source
CMS (though others are adding this sort of stuff)
I know I can do the second part but if I had certain blogs that I
wanted to
share with visitors or other content and I just wanted to give someone
a link is that possible?
I had in mind a writer's CMS setup where people one can get published,
this is on another proprietary system but the person can send the link
to their publication to a friend or anyone.
Uh, most themes include the "email story to a friend concept". Some
have even started to include a link to the actual story as well so it
can be easily copied and pasted into an email. All this stuff is
possible out-of-the-box.
4) I accepted one of the default news feeds that one gets with an
install. It doesn't seem clear how to include the content of a
newsfeed into the site. Even going to the geeklog.net site and
clicking on RSS, RDF, XML Feeds shows a list of a few but it seems
like you can include the content of an article without taking a person
away from the site.
First, read the manual: http://www.geeklog.net/docs. The RSS/RDF/XML
page is just a resource to get people started with including syndicated
content within their Geeklog system. If you are hoping to include the
content outside of a block (i.e. as a true Geeklog story) that concept
isn't supported.
Clicking on the .rss file does nothing. Clicking on the link takes
one away from the page instead of having the news included in the
site. Perhaps one can have the content of the story open into a block
on the site? Maybe? or open a new window with a target="_blank"
html tag. I suppose that would work if the link was done right.
This isn't currently supported. Add this as a feature request on
http://project.geeklog.net
