Simple RSS link to my blog
 
How do i add a simple RSS icon so people can subscribe to it?

Thanks for the help

Look in the RSS Setting section of Atahualpa.

It seems to me that the settings are ok and the icons should show

But if you go to http://www.revitit.com i cant see the icon :(
Thanks for your help

the post feed icon will only show in the header area if you have the %logo option added to the Configure Header option.

Daniel Hurtubise Jul 12, 2011 08:15 PM

I thought it was on but maybe im missing something?

I would play around with different configuration in the Configure Header Area box. For instance don't use the adsense div and use the default setting instead. It will give you a larger rotating banner but the RSS might show.

looks like you are using 'absolute' positioning and they are being hidden behind other elements.

Any way i can fix that then?

lmilesw Jul 15, 2011 08:50 AM

The code you showed in post #6 has absolute positioning.

Daniel Hurtubise Jul 15, 2011 08:52 AM

Ok, found that. What re the other options i have?

lmilesw Jul 15, 2011 09:08 AM

As a test you could just put the following in the Configure Header Area box.
HTML Code:

%logo %pages %cats %image
This will put your logo at the top, then the page manu, then the category meny, then the banner image.

This will probably not be what you want but you should see the RSS icon.

The options you have are a matter of what you want to do. It's just using the proper CSS. If you look at the Export/Import setting section you will see some text about other styles that come with Atahualpa that you could import as a starting point for design. That is another direction you could take but be aware if you import a style it will overwrite any styling you have applied so you should export your current setting as a backup.

Ok, just tried it. It placed another series of images underneath the categories but still no RSS :(

You still have the all the "to remove ad altogether code" in that box.

Daniel Hurtubise Jul 15, 2011 02:40 PM

So i now have that:
%logo %pages %cats
<!-- To remove the ad altogether, start removing here... -->
<div style="position:absolute;top:20px;right:20px;width :728px;height:90px;">
<!-- Put the ad code BELOW this (and remove the sample text if there is any) -->
%image
<!-- Put the ad code ABOVE this -->
</div>
<!-- End removing the ad here -->

Is what i should have this:
%logo %pages %cats % image
<div style="position:absolute;top:20px;right:20px;width :728px;height:90px;">
</div>

Thank you so much for your patience

what is the url? pictures are not really useful in seeing what you are doing.

Thanks

The problem is that the RSS icon is hiding behind the menu because of the css Insert
HTML Code:

a.posts-icon {
position:absolute;
top:160px;
right:140px;
font-weight:normal;
color:#fff;
font-size:11px
}

If you change that to
HTML Code:

a.posts-icon {
position:absolute;
top:130px;
left:614px;
font-weight:normal;
color:#000;
font-size:11px
}

you will see it in the middle of the top margin. You will need to adjust the top and left to suit your needs

I'm assuming i need to edit an html file here right?
Can i access the file through the interface or i need to access it using FTP and reupload? If its the ftp option, what file am i looking for?

juggledad Jul 15, 2011 05:14 PM

No need to edit a file go to ato->add HTML/cask setts->CSS inserts

Daniel Hurtubise Jul 15, 2011 05:41 PM

And now i have that really cool bar at the top.....
That is just GREAT :)]

Thank you so much :)
