Options Menu
Submitted by Bryers on Wed, 02/08/2006 - 12:07pm.
Mark,
You refer to an options menu at the top of the screen from which one can view an entry as HTML, or from which one can choose whether or not to have an entry displayed on the home page (both would be quite useful). However, I see no sign of this menu... At the top of the screen is, in order, the title of the website, Genealogy/Gallery/Calendar/Old Links, Home>>content>>create content, 'Submit personal blog entry,' and then the windows for title and body. On the side bar is my username, followed by the different sections of the web site (blogs/content/forums/etc.). Where would the options be? I wonder why I can't see it... perhaps it's set as an admin-only feature? Can anyone else find it?
Thanks.

Menu
On the "full HTML" question, I was not referring to the menu at the top of the home page. I was referring to a "menu" (that may be a bad word) that usually appears below the body of a blog entry, topic entry, comment entry under the heading "input format." This is really not a question of viewing the HTML page (which as far as I know you can only do after the fact by using your browser menu to "view" "source," but to allow the program to process any HTML code you put into the body of the entry (such as for a picture).
On the issue of whether the entry hits the front page, that is similarly controlled by the choice you make on what I am referring to the "menu" under the heading "options" that appears at the top of the page when you are creating an entry for a blog or a forum topic. This menu starts with a choice to "publish" the entry and in the middle includes a choice to promote the entry to the front page. These are defaults but can be turned off.
Yeah, but Still...
Well, I'm still arguing that the "menus" just aren't there. Here's a screenshot of exactly what I'm seeing. Anything missing?
What browser are you using?
You are missing what I am seeing at the top and the bottom.
That's What I Thought
Yeah, that's what I thought. I've tried it on both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox; it looks the same on each.
Browsers
I am guessing that this problem relates to how your browser handles CSS (cascading style sheets) because the sections you are missing are "classes" defined in the style sheet. Can you check and see if this is an issue. If either of you or Dan are using a Mac, you might want to look at this.
You were right
There was an admin option that I had to set to make this available to everyone. I hope you are finding it now.
you're not alone
yeah, i have been unable to find it myself.
