Catagory problems and Links

[cooper]

Im having problems on my pligg site.

1. The catagories are a bit messed up. I have added about 6 but only 2 are showing up.

2. I would like the title of the story to goto the site where the stroy is from, like how digg has it set up. But having problems getting that as well.

Thanks.

1. The front page will only display the categories if a story in that category has been published. Makes sense to me because why would you browse a category if there isn't anything in it? I suggest manually promoting one story from each category via the admin to display all of your categories on the front page.
2. I am assuming that you are using the latest version of Mollio included with the nightly build 198. Open up templates/mollio-Beat/link_summary.tpl. Navigate to line 21. You will see this:

 <a href="{$story_url}">{$title_short}</a>

replace with this:

 <a href="{$url}">{$title_short}</a>

I "think" that should do the job. Let me know if it works.

I was unable to find where I can promote the stories via the admin CP, are you able to tell me where i can find this?

And thanks for the link help. It worked :)

Login into an account that has either admin or god priviledges.
Navigate to your pligg install /shakeit.php, or directly to the article url you wish to promote
Find the story you want to promote to the front page.
Click the "admin links" link.
A drop-down menu will appear with 2 links, click the "change link status" link.
Select "Set to published" to promote the story to the front page.
